This is the lighthouse at Point Reyes and let me tell you it was windier than a congressional filibuster. The site is made all the more dramatic by the 308 steps you have to descend to get down to the lighthouse itself, which is about 150 years old. It boggles the mind that they found people desperate enough to build the damn thing. Despite the beauty (beauty that is
rugged, of course) of the area, life must have harsh for the soul tasked with tending the lighthouse. An informational board said one lighthouse keeper's wife tried starting a garden, but the seeds were lost to the wind in short order.
