Atop the Light







This past summer, well mid-September, while in Chincoteague, I finally took the tour of the Assateague Light House. The only scary part was the walk from the parking lot. But luckily the mosquitoes weren't too bad if you kept moving. It was great to get to climb the spiral staircase to the open deck. The view of Chincoteague Island and the beach was like nothing I've seen before. This lighthouse was built in 1867, replacing a shorter one built in 1833. This one is 142 feet tall.
