Beacons of Fire: Wood End Lighthouse, Cape Cod, MA

For all the posts in the Beacons of Fire Series, go here.

Prologue: I love Nora Roberts books, well her books mostly those that she wrote prior to 2009. One of her book is the 1985 romantic novel, One Man’s Art, fourth in her longest series, The McGregor Series. The hero of the story, Grant Campbell, is a loner, rude, surly and impossible, who lives in an old lighthouse. Genevieve Grandeau literally lands on his doorstep during one particular stormy night. The story that follows between Grant and Gennie is what inspired me to look at lighthouses in a different light.

Should have checked for tides and winds, and also carried some hiking sticks while visiting the first lighthouse on Day 2, Wood End Lighthouse. It required a mile or so hike on rocks (which is where the hiking sticks come in hand). So took a shot of it from afar. Constructed in 1864 should have been called Rock End Lighthouse. 😛
