Uh, yeah, blog post #2 about a Lighthouse? lets go! Ponce de Leon Inlet Light and stuff.... The Inlet Light is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and a National Historic Landmark, so we drove out to Daytona and climbed to the top, woo.
THRILLING! Here I am... at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse MUSEUM!
And if you didn't know... Its in the US, in Florida, and a Lighthouse
(I wouldn't have known had it not been for the three flags)
in 1998 it became a National Historic Landmark.
One of only ten lighthouses to earn this designation.
And before we climb......
T3h LAW
Also.....this was slightly unsettling in a oh by the way kinda way....
Lets get climbing!
Damn... 175 feet to go!
Yeah....
And once at the top....
You find out that over 125 years ago an earthquake hit...
175 feet above the Inlet... here's...... the ocean?
And Daytona Beach to the north.
Annddd the view looking down over the handrail :D
