2019 MD Lighthouse Challenge - Pt Lookout

Friday afternoon drove to California, MD. (Note to self: Next time use route 4, not 5.) Visited Point Lookout State Park and Solomons Island. Stayed at an AirBnB. Volunteered at Point Lookout as part of the MD Lighthouse Challenge sponsored by the Chesapeake Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse Society. The challenge is to visit all the lights you can, learn about the lights and Chesapeake Chapter activities, and pick up a small souvenir at each light you visit. Before and after my volunteer work, I visited Drum Point and Cove Point lighthouses. Southern MD is a beautiful part of the state, and has quite a few lighthouses. (I ran out of time to visit either Piney Point lighthouse or the historic area of St. Mary's City - next time?) NOTE: there are 3 pages to this gallery. Push "All" at bottom of first page.

Couldn't go in, so took pictures from, through & along the fence, plus standing on a rock near the restroom.
