It's the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the American side of the Great Lakes.

#PortClintonLighthouse (Ohio) and #KeepersBoathouse on the shores of #LakeErie. Built in 1896, the #lighthouse, in the #Pepperpot design, is a wood construction and the sole survivor of its type on the #GreatLakes.

#SémiTheCat and I have rented a cabin on #LakeErie for my birthday. It's unclear about the WiFi situation. I may be #unplugging starting today.

Sémi is already on #vacay...

Peace out!

I will be driving 2 1/2 hours to Port Clinton with #SémiTheCat at the end of the month for my birthday. She always naps in her crate. I thought I would simply zip it up and take her on a short drive today. She never got into her crate. I think she knows! 😒
