Worth visiting!

Being that South Florida was still covered in a blanket of smoke this morning, J and I decided to go and have a look at the lighthouse, rather than try and spot any wildlife on a State park, as has become our usual weekend habit.

We paid our fee, and followed our tour guide to the lighthouse. (It’s on coast guard residential property, so you can’t just wander up to it on your own.) J opted to not climb to the top, and waited for me downstairs. Actually, truth be told, he got about a quarter of the way up before he decided that the stairs were too scary, and went back down again. Bless his heart. lol

The view at the top was well worth the red face I had when I got there. Even through all the smoke, it was pretty darn cool.

I love seeing entries on the Florida State Parks. Thanks for another great addition.

I take it that the staircase inside must be somewhat open.

I’m with Hubs. I don’t like to climb very high either. It scares that tar out of me.

The staircase was quite dodgy. You kinda had to hug the wall on the right side going up, cause the steps were tiny, and that was the widest point. It nearly scared the er, ‘tar’ out of me too.

My legs are killing me today from the climb. God zapping me for teasing hubs, I think. lol

I’m really scared of high places. If I can’t see down it’s fine. Otherwise….AAAACK!

A couple of times I’ve started climbing up towers in Europe and have either had to turn back or else I have to constantly do some mind over matter exercises to keep me from freaking out before my feet are once again standing on terra firma.

I thought I made this clear with Just Doris.
Only Bill the Cat has the creative and poetic license to say “ack”..

Troubles with my spellchecker

That was a misspelling of AAARRRGH!

AAARRRGH seems to be the battle cry of Charlie Brown, and I’ll allow it!
