>Beautiful card. I love those lighthouses, their architectures and their loneliness. Funny, only one is not white. Happy PFF!
>Nice card! Happy PFF.
>I have been to only one of them – Admiralty Point. They are all beautiful spots, aren't they?
>I love lighthouses, too. I think they are romantic (for some reason)!!! Happy PFF!
>I had no idea that Washington had so many lighthouses. They are picturesque and beautiful. I'd like to know the story behind the naming of Cape Disappointment.
>I too can't believe Washington has so many lighthouses. Are you able to get into any of them? Great card.
>I keep buying lighthouse postcards to send to people who like them – so you aren't alone there in your preference! I must say there is something about their shape that appeals to me.
>Wonderful postcard! Happy PFF!
>There are a number of web sites devoted to the history of lighthouses; all of which are interesting reading. I found this one for Cape Disappointment Lighthouse if you're interested. It's in one of Washington's most visited State Parks.
>Washington does have some good names. Besides Cape Disappointment, my cousin lived near a place called "Useless Bay". It was "useless" because the tide was so extreme, when it went out, there were nothing but mud flats and sand dollars.
>steviewren: In 1788, British fur trader John Meares named the area Cape Disappointment after his inability to locate the river’s mouth.For more information on the lighthouse click here.
