Title: Yesterday's Day Trip to Rockland
Post by: Paul Coover on September 04, 2008, 11:53:05 AM
Yesterday I had a lighthouse group meeting in Rockland, so we decided to take a day trip to the Mid-coast Maine area. Here are some photos!

We stopped here at the Fort Point Lighthouse in Stockton Springs, Maine.

Great pictures, Paul.  What is a "lighthouse group"?  Is it a preservation group?  Thanks for sharing your trips with us.  I would love to see those lighthouses in person.

I am involved in different lighthouse preservation groups, this one was for the Friends of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. I am in charge of a lighthouse event and we have monthly meetings in Rockland.

Ooooh!  Lighthouses!!  We love 'em and have been watching the PBS series done some years back on a lot of lighthouses.  Just finished up Alaska and Hawaii.  Wonderful pictures, indeed.

Mark and I are heading off for a vacation in a couple of weeks and one of the places we are going to stay is a Hostel at the Montara Point Light.  We get to stay in the foghorn room.  We were also going to stay at Pigeon Point, which is also a Hostel, but it is booked for the whole rest of the year.  Both of these areas are 25 and 50 miles south of SF.

Having just read about DeeDee and Hallie's upcoming trip on the General Writings board, the first thing I thought when I read this was, "Come ON, now, a lighthouse in Montana?  :dontknow: Having trouble finding the river??"

I'm still laughing!!

Um, dachsie nurses, the patient has escaped her room.  Use your snoots to HERD her back into the safety of her padded cell.   :grin:
