This letterbox commemorates one of the most beautiful light stations
on the Pacific Coast. The dramatic structure was built in 1872, in
an area rich in rugged scenery. See www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?
page_id=533 for info.
First, a little math. The weight of the original Fresnel lens used
here divided by 200 = "X". The height of the lighthouse divided by
46 = "Y".
Begin your search on State Highway 1, at the entrance to the light
station. Drive "X" miles south on Hwy. 1 to a dirt road on the
right. From the gate with the "no parking" signs, walk "Y" paces
toward the beach. Inspect the base of a prominent fence post on your
right.
