Hello all, (and a big welcome back to Adrian!)
I've placed the next three of the Door Co. series,
though one of them (in Algoma) isn't in Door Co., it's
just kind of on the way. Randy, if you want to count
that as a separate entry on the "chain" then I might
just have to branch out to more Lake Michigan
lighthouses relatively nearby just to make your list
more times!
Sturgeon Bay Shipping Canal Lighthouse:
Take the first right turn off the 42/57 bridge in
Sturgeon Bay and follow the pointing ships to the
Coast Guard Station. There is visitor parking, and
the public is able to access the north breakwater, the
rest of the station is off limits.
Clue:
If you wanted to get to the bright red lighthouse on
the end of the breakwater, you'd need to climb up on
the steel walkway, but since you can't do that (unless
you're USCG personnel) why don't you poke around in
the rocks near the base of the ladder and find the
letterbox.
Bonus stamp image of the breakwater light can be found
by following the clue enclosed in the main letterbox
above.
Sturgeon Bay, Sherwood Point Lighthouse:
Three more lighthouse boxes

I guess it depends on how and what you count (never a straight
answer, is there :-)), but no matter how you count its greater
than 150. When all the recent ones are on the site, and the one
new IL box and two? new CA boxes are posted, there should be exactly
150 clues accessable from the web site.

Hey Steve!
Bravo - three more boxes.
Is anybody keeping count - there must be way over 100 by now?

Pictures have already been scanned and sent to Mitch,
though I hope I haven't overloaded him.
I also think the pictures make a nice touch, but
seeing them next to the stamps I've carved which are
supposed to at least look like them, I sometimes feel
a bit artistically inadequate.
Well, it hasn't stopped me yet I guess!

Nice job on the lighthouse boxes, Steven! Wish I could get out your
way.!
Is there any chance you could get some pictures of the lighthouses to
Mitch, that could be included on your clue page(s)? I really love
looking at lighthouses, and think the picture adds a lot to Dan's
page.
Randy, I definitely think we have a series/chain here now. If you
want to put it together on the same page you have the other two,
that's fine with me.

I understand how you feel. If one at least gets the image close to
real life then you have succeeded. I am looking forward to finding
them.
