List of Lighthouses
Listed below are the Lighthouses and Museums I plan to visit.
Some of these I visited on my trip down the California coast last year but I will list them again as they are part of the lighthouses around the Bay Area.
Some places I will be visiting again to get Lighthouse Passport stamps as I lost my passport book halfway through last years tour.
