Free Lake Michigan Lighthouse Map

By Sue Clark on Feb 9, 2008 in The Light Side Print This Post

It’s not too early to start planning your lighthouse trips for the summer. And to make it easy for you to visit the Lake Michigan lighthouses, the West Michigan Tourist Association is offering a free Lake Michigan Circle Tour and Lighthouse Map.

You can order one sent to you via postal mail on their website, or if you don’t want to wait you can input your email address and get a link to download a PDF file of the complete map. However, it’s 38mb in size and 51 pages. If you’re on dialup, go for the snail mail. I’m on high speed cable and it still choked. So here is a direct link…you can right click on it and save it to your computer.

An A-MAZE-ing Lighthouse

Now this is a work of art. The recently rebuilt Blackistone Lighthouse on St. Clement’s Island, Maryland, has been turned into a truly a-maze-ing creation, in which you can get lost. Bowles Farms, of Clement, MD has carved its likeness into 15 acres of cornfields for the month of October. It guarantees you will spend hours in a lighthouse. Continued...

Lighthouse Fun Run For Breast Cancer

If you’re in New South Wales, Australia, on Sunday, October 19, get out your running shoes for the very scenic Run For Breast Cancer. The Coordinator for the event wants to see at least five runners or walkers for each breast cancer patient on the North Coast. That translates to 1000 or so participants. Continued...

Man Must Tear Down Lighthouse

Ooops. Looks like building a lighthouse without proper permits is wrong. The Washington Post has an article about a gentleman who owns an island in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, who has had a suit filed against him by the State of Maryland.Continued...

The National Lighthouse Museum, on the St. George waterfront, was a vibrant jewel of preservation and a cornerstone of the community’s renaissance. But it never really got off the drawing board. Now the museum is at the brink of vanishing from the Staten island scene for good.Continued...

Faux Lighthouse Shines Bright Again

A lighthouse built in the center of a traffic circle in downtown Brigantine, NJ, has been restored and lit. Thanks to the efforts (and muscle) of city councilman Ralph Aversa, the faux lighthouse, once used as the police station and then as a museum, sports a new coat of paint (white and Lighthouse Red) and a revolving light magnified with a mirror.Continued...

Lighthouse Golf Course

Now here is a factoid I didn’t know. On Fair Isle, a birdwatcher’s paradise 25 miles south of Shetland Island, Scotland, sits two lighthouses at opposite ends of the island. To while away the hours in the 1960s, the lighthouse keepers built a golf course (this is Scotland, birthplace of the game) near the South Lighthouse.Continued...
