The Mackinac lighthouse reminds me of a castle.

  Thanks, Vic! Look for a couple of your NC lighthouses in a week or so. I’ll be close to Bodie and Cape Hatteras lighthouses, gotta get photos of those…..again! Taken them before. 🙂

  Thank you, Belinda! Old Mackinac Lighthouse went out of commission in 1957, but the Petoskey Pierhead is still active. 🙂
