Forty Mile Point
The lighthouse and grounds at Forty Mile Point--40 miles from Mackinac; 40 miles from Alpena--near Rogers City, Michigan. Now a county park with a pretty good museum.
Forty Mile Garden
This pleasant little flower bed is outside Forty Mile Point Lighthouse, near Rogers City, Michigan.
Forty Mile Tower
The light tower at Forty Mile Point Lighthouse, near Rogers City, Michigan. This is an exterior view to go with the interior shots I've been sharing for the past few days.
Forty Mile Spiral

Forty Mile Stairway
The steps in the lighthouse tower. This light has a wide tower, and the stair is relatively tame.

Downward Spiral
Forty Mile Point Lighthouse , near Rogers City, Michigan.
The focal point of a fairly new county park, and of a surprisingly good maritime museum. The lady at the top of the steps--I suppose you'd call her a docent--had a fine spiel, answers to simple questions, and an engaging personality. She was waiting for the sailboats to appear....
Lighthouse at Forty Mile Point
Forty Mile Point was already a county park when we first visited this light a few years ago, and they were beginning to do the museum thing. But our memory of the trip is the miserable weather: Heavy rain, heavy fog.
Much better this time.
On Lake Huron, near Rogers City, Michigan.
Forty Mile Kitchen
There's a fine museum at Forty Mile Point Lighthouse, near Rogers City. This is the restored kitchen.
Forty Mile Office
The lighthouse keeper at Forty Mile Point had a little office in the tower, just below the light, where he did the apparently-voluminous paperwork required by his bosses.
Only a workable solution in such a wide tower, I'd think.
Near Rogers City, Michigan.
