MrsSquire and I love to find a new lighthouse when along one of the big lakes.  Michigan has 129 lighthouses which is more than any other state.  113 lighthouses are on the Great Lakes and 44 of those are on Lake Michigan.  Sometimes the lighthouses are open to climb to the top.  There is always a great view and most of the time a breath taking moment when you look straight down while holding onto that thin metal railing that is likely older than you are.  What are some of your favorites?

This is a  letterbox hybrid where the cache is at the given coordinates.  There is a handmade stamp of a lighthouse made by my oldest daughter.  Bring your own inkpad and do not take the stamp with you.  I have it tied the way I do to keep it with the cache.  Thanks.
