Ohio - Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse

A favorite sight for beach goers at Mentor Headlands Park

August 2007

Ohio - Storm

Most of the place that have lighthouses are prone to having some pretty serious weather...we tried to beat this one home as it blew off of Lake Erie in June of 2006. Were very happy to NOT be on a boat or ship!!

Leading edge of the storm.


It was moving faster than we were -- there was no beating it. Aren't those the most ominous looking clouds? Sheesh!
