Cue the Littoral NIMBY Wars
I don’t know anything about maintaining a lighthouse but joining an org to help out sounds like it could be interesting, useful, and fun. Too bad there are none nearby.
Can they move it to my inland farm? I’d like to have a nice spotlight…
Hmmm. . . I’ve always wanted to marry a lighthouse keeper and live by the side of the sea. . . .
Be the lighthouse keeper you want to see in the world!
Though I respect that a lot, I’d be fired if that were my job.
Thank You generic_name, But Our Keeper is in Another Lighthouse.
There could be a game in that, maybe a sequel too.
I’m mostly familiar with light houses on the NC coast. While they are not all in remote locations, the Outer Banks isn’t exactly forgiving when something like a category 4+ hurricane is bearing down on you.
you know it’s love when they do all the work
They had one near me available a few years ago for $1 dollar. It was lakefront property right near downtown, but the low end estimate for repairs was in the half million range, utilities were a nightmare, and you had to file a repair plan as part of the purchase.
