Delaware

This concludes this trip, so there will be no further postings here till something new happens.

Needless to say, we were on the road fairly early, but found a Perkin's just down the street and had a good breakfast. And our directions to the Elm Tree light were spot on, so that worked. But, our directions to the Princess Bay light weren't good enough, we were in the right area, but didn't follow through and walk the right path, so 1 out of 2 for Tuesday morning in New York. We then went south (bought gas the second we entered New Jersey at significantly cheaper prices) and stopped at the southernmost light in New Jersey.

This impressive looking structure (Tinicum) is standing in the middle of a park with ball parks on both sides of it. At one time it was the center of 2 ranges, but at this time neither front range is in existance. This light however is still used for navigation, and periodically it is open for viewing.

We then crossed over into Delaware and saw some lights there (http://www.lighthousesrus.org/NorthAtlantic/Delaware.htm). Several of these lights are pretty unimpressive, and we had to drive from exit 12 to 13 3 times on I-495 to get the photo of the Bellvue light.

Our last photo of the day was the Marcus Hook Rear range.

As you can see, the keeper's house is all boarded up, we're told that it is now privately owned.

The rest of the trip into Virginia was without note (which we appreciated).
