Geocache Description:

Virtual tour of the Lighthouses on Martha's Vineyard

This tour will take you to 4 out of 5 of the Lighthouses on Martha's Vineyard. In order to log this cache you must visit each lighthouse.

THEN, in order to claim a find, you must email me one fact about each lighthouse. This fact must be something unique that YOU CAN ONLY DERIVE FROM ACTUALLY VISITING THE LIGHTHOUSE!

I will review your observations and then give you the go ahead to claim a find. Any finds claimed without my approval WILL BE DELETED, no questions asked!

The locations for the four lighthouses are as follows:
GayHead LightHouse.....N41 20.907 W70 50.097
Edgartown " "..............N41 23.452 W70 30.184
Tisbury (West Chop) " "................N41 28.831 W70 39.245
Oak Bluffs (East Chop)" "...............N41 28.215 W70 34.044

In addition, there is a fifth lighthouse on the island at Chappaquidick. This requires a short $2 ferry ride to get to but since you're already here, why not go for it!

Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful island and there are several caches here. Because of the unique position of the island there are also quite a number of Benchmarks on the island as many of the structures here have been unchanged since the 30s and 40s or earlier.

I can provide a list of the benchmarks which I know are still findable on the island if anyone is interested.
