Headed north along quiet roads on the shores of Lake Huron, we felt we were the only ones here. I love lighthouses and with 129 of them in Michigan it was fun to visit some. A favourite was the old Presque Isle lighthouse built in 1840 and replaced after just 30 years by the taller new one. We loved the story that went with this "ghost light" - the electrics were disconnected but the wife of the last lighthouse man (deceased) saw the light shining one night, so she rang the authorities and told them about the light. They checked and said it was not possible, but still she saw it - she said it must be her dead husband who was looking after her. To this day fishermen still see the light shining and the lady who told us the story said she saw it two years ago...... spooky!

Where are you aiming to finish your trip and leave the rig?
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, My name is Linda and we met you at The 40 Mile Point Lighthouse while we were working as volunteers. Enjoyed talking about your exciting travels and you gave me your blog address. We are finally back to NC and have sold, packed our house placed everything in storage and planning to leave NC 9/12 headed to the international balloon festival in New Mexico starting our adventure as fulltime travelers. Very excited. We have spent the last 10 years travelling 3 months on the road and 3 months at home and then hit the road again. But now we feel we will have time to do everything.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to following your blog and watching as you travel the USA. Already I did not know the Lake with the Devils gate area, so it has been placed in our list of things to do.
Hope to cross path with you and learn more about your travels.
Enjoy everything, my motto is LEAVE NO ROCK UNTURNED.
Still working on trying to start a blog.
Linda Cline
