This morning we headed to where we left off the last time we visited this area. Starting with the Cleveland East Entrance Light. Unfortunately, we were unable to stop and take pictures because we were doing 65 MPH on the Interstate, but we will be back the day we visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The next Lighthouse was the Vermilion Lighthouse This lighthouse was built in 1877 and was located at the end of the breakwater. Finding this lighththouse took some doing because it was suppose to be moved to a park in early 2016. However it wasn't. We did accidently find it in a ship repair yard and were able to photograph it. It is being renovated so hopefully it will be back on display soon!
On the way to our next lighthouse, Huron Harbor, we ran across a classic car show at the local DQ. Apparently this is an on-going Saturday night event in the summer. Here are some pictures of a few of the cars we saw. The 1964 Falcon convertible was Jim's favorite as he once own one himself!
A friendly resident gave us directions to the Huron Harbor Pierhead Light.

Our final lighthouse for this day was Marblehead Lighthouse. This lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. It was built in 1821 and is still an operational navigational aid today. It has been featured on U.S. postage stamps and has appeared on Ohio's license plates.
It was a beautiful day to view lighthouses!
Til next time..............
