Point Reyes Lighthouse


















Point Reyes National Seashore has one of the most fascinating lighthouse locations I've seen.  Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed the day we visited and we were unable to walk down the steps to see it up close.  No matter, it still looked cool from way up on the hill!  The lighthouse was first lit on December 1, 1870 and was automated in 1975.  The location is frequently blanketed by week-long periods of fog and few years pass that do not see gales of 75 to 100 miles per hour strike the area.
