To the Lighthouse (just not the Virginia Woolf kind)

Earlier this week, I was down on Cape Cod and went out to add another lighthouse to my collection. This one is Cape Cod Highland Light, which is in Truro, MA. I haven't spent a lot of time in Truro; I spend more of my time on central or lower Cape. It was a beautiful spot to drive around, very rural and unspoiled.

The original light house was commissioned by President Washington back in 1797, making this the first light on the Cape. The current structure was built in 1857. Continued erosion forced the light to be relocated several times; it was moved to its present location in 1996. On a clear day, like it was on Monday, the view from the bluffs is amazing. We could see all the way to Provincetown!
