A Hairy Experience:

On our trip across the Bay Tunnel Bridge, we went under at the same time the ship went over.






Soon after crossing the Bay Bridge, we find the small village of Eastland, where the old courthouse, built in 1731, is now located . Notice the old debtors' prison in the background. Can't you just hear some runner standing at the courthouse door reading the original Declaration of Independence! History was surely made here that day. I wish we revered those old documents as much today as we did then and should now. The statue in front is of a confederate soldier.














Pictured below is the Old Fort Henry Lighthouse:

This is one of the oldest lighthouses in the United States but is no longer in use. It stands on the military base now; therefore, to visit the place, you and your vehicle must be searched. We were required to vacate the vehicle while the search was done. Actually, I didn't mind; it's sad, however, that such action must be taken. My brother climbed those 191 steps, but we refused to submit to the drudgery!


New Fort Henry Lighthouse:

As you can see, this is a very pretty lighthouse which has taken the place of the old one. My brother climbed the old one but we don't know if you are allowed to climb this one. Notice how beautiful the sky was that day! We left here and went to the small base exchange.
