This is a fascinating reference book, which leads me to adding a new bucket list. I have visited a few California lighthouses, but not very many. There is the one close to Rodeo Beach which always closes before we get there. Cabrillo Point in San Diego. There is the one on Yerba Buena we drove past, but it is hard to see from the road. There is one north of Santa Cruz.
Any way, back to the book. This book adds a historical context for the light houses. Why were they built? and what is the history. Some have been rebuilt, many modernized with modern lights. Most are now automated. Some include fog horns. I am most interested in northern California light houses, and have a personal goal to visit Point Arenas. This is a tall one.
