Because we've been visiting family and friends, we have not posted to the blog for several days. On April 3, while visiting Anne's brother in Pennsylvania, we took a day trip to Presque Isle, a promontory on Lake Erie. We saw hundreds of migrating turkey vultures.
In one of the many small harbors along the shore of Presque Isle, we found a small village of houseboats, where we assume the inhabitants don't sleepwalk.
This lighthouse, built in 1872, has been restored and sits on the shore of Lake Erie.
As we left Pennsylvania, we stopped in Meadville to take photos of these unique recycled road signs.
Meadville is the home of Channel Lock Tools, founded here in 1886.
We headed south toward West Virginia and the Appalachian Mountains.
Interesting how the bright red head of the turkey vulture doesn't show up unless you have telephoto lens.
ReplyDeleteThey're interesting birds, but I wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley.
DeleteThose houseboats are intriguing. Do they have little rowboats for when they want to go to the store or someplace else? And how do they get pizza delivered?
ReplyDeleteYes, in answer to your first question, and to the second, delivery fish. Jim wants to know where the poop goes when people flush their toilets.
DeleteSeems as though nature is winning the battle against highways along the outer banks. Your pics are fascinating--keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteMa Nature is indeed winning. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, built in 1870, had to be moved 2,900 feet inland in 1999 because of erosion.
