The ground was wet from a rain the previous night. We conducted a private tour in the morning just after breakfast. This was a group of six (three females and three males) who each travel the country caravan style and live out of their RVs full time. They each operate their own RV and travel caravan style about the country. We met them the day before and set this private tour up in advance. Sure enough, there they were at 8:30 AM. This meant morning chores and all clean up needed to be done prior to their arrival. All went well and they left donations in the tower and in the gift shop.
Since the tide was back in for the majority of the late morning and afternoon, I walked loops around the "rock" for exercise. I also took some afternoon photos where the surf likes to crash into the rock. While scrambling on the rock, I took a photo looking up at the lighthouse. Teare did laundry and cleaned several throw rugs. After lunch, I read from another book found in the Piland bedroom on Spies and Secrets during WWII.
There were no tours today so we had a chance later to walk over to meet Fred and Jill for dinner. Afterward, we shot a few photos and climbed to the top of the rock. I was really tired after taking down the flag that I climbed the spiral stairs in the tower early for bed. This last photo is from the out building built in 1881 for the purpose of storing kerosine for the lanterns of the day. This was the same year the lighthouse switched from whale oil to kerosine for the tower lantern.
This post is dedicated to all first responders.
Really enjoy the daily updates.
