Split Rock Lighthouse, 2011

We got to go with Caleb's family to spend a few days on Lake Superior just before Thanksgiving.  We had a wonderful time--restful and interesting.

 
 



Such a handsome structure, and so vital for the ships of its day.


The lens.  It was amazing to learn about this lighthouse--all that went into making it and keeping it going.

 Greta was so excited to stomp around in the snow.  Sweet face.


The home of the keepers




Having a good time, but maybe a little chilly!

The Man

Even Josiah wanted to peek in the window to read the specs

 The keepers of this lighthouse were strong and determined, faithful to keep their post in this unpredictable frontier.
