Crisp Point Lighthouse Bound!

Guess where Molly and I are headed?! It will be our tenth year serving as lighthouse keepers at this remote outpost on the wilderness shores of Lake Superior. One drives a 20 mile long dirt road to reach the light, and that is only after another 20 miles driven along a smaller paved road. The lighthouse is 1 hour and 20 minutes to the nearest town of Newberry, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. I guess we will not go out for pizza! Round trip to any services is 2 hours and 40 minutes. We pack in everything needed and stay the duration.

Only the keepers are allowed to camp at the lighthouse. There is no keeper’s residence. Here is me next to a campfire from a few years back with the lighthouse in the background. We will be at Crisp Point during a low light period (not quite new moon). I am hoping Lady Aurora decides to dance!

  1. I think you and Molly have found the perfect time and place to celebrate our seasonal changes. I would love seeing the Aurora dance.
