Lighthouses Part 3

Lighthouses are found in a variety of locations; rocky cliffs, sandy shoals on land, on a water swept reef at sea, and at entrances to bays and harbors. They are there to warn sailors of dangerous reefs under the sea, rocky coasts on land, and to guide ships to the entrances of bays and harbors. The lighthouses message has always been; STAY AWAY, DANGER, BEWARE, or COME THIS WAY. Every lighthouse, no matter where it is, tells every mariner, THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE. So, to always avoid the hazzards, navigate to a safe harbor, and to always know where you are, let your lighthouse beacon forever shine.

Anne has always loved animals and nature. She has raised manchesters and scotties for show. Both did well. She loves horses of any kind and recently bought a Spanish Mustang from the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary. After 29 years in education, Anne Schoch had to retire due to health problems. Not one to be idle, she has helped her husband to start an E-Commerce business on the Internet. Always fascinated by lighthouses and their history, Anne has researched many sites containing information about lighthouses. Visit their web site at: yardlighthouse.com
