			THE CAPE COD LIGHT They say in so many centuries Cape Cod (or most of it) will wash away into they sea. They're usually right, so I won't argue with them here.
			SPRING POINT LIGHT PORTLAND ME Its' on the end of a 1/2 mile (?) breakwater that you can walk out to. The breakwater was put in after the lighthouse as ships would go the wrong way and run aground on the sand bar between the light and the shore.
			WEST QUODDY LIGHT At the Eastern most point in the U.S. Where they came up with west from, we'll probably never know. Some mysteries are best left for the ages. I'm pretty sure that it never gets warm there either. There's probably not so many places in the lower 48 states where you need a jacket in mid July.
			EAST QUODDY LIGHT This light is in Canada and only reachable on foot during low tide, and even then its no easy chore. Apparently those un-original Canadians can't come up with a name on their own so they have to steal ours.
			NAUSET LIGHT Also on Cape Cod and near the site of Marconi's first trans-atlantic wireless station (if you want a little chuckle you should look up the first message sent on it). Most of the wireless site has eroded, so maybe they're right after all.
			ST SIMONS LIGHT Our lone Southern representative. One of this lighthouses predecessors was destroyed so it would not fall into the hands of the enemy, though I forget who destroyed it and who was the enemy.
			NOBSKA LIGHT There are a ton of lighthouses on Cape Cod. You could see 15 or 20 (?) on half a day's drive. This is one of them.
			PORTLAND HEAD LIGHT Chances are if you've seen this lighthouse -- its the most photographed in the world. Look towards the top and you'll see where the height of the light was increased some long time ago. In World War II (and One ?) there was an military base here. Some of the fortifications are still there.
