Today it was cold and windy when we headed south to Sturgeon Bay
to discover two more lighthouses.
There was frost on our car and a chill in the brisk Wisconsin air.
North Pierhead Lighthouse
On to Sturgeon Bay.
Onsite is an active United States Coast Guard station.
There were warning signs posted not to trespass onto the station.
First views of the sight.
We discovered the narrow path to walk on clearly labeled public path to pier.
On the other side of the yellow line was private property.
Sturgeon Bay Canal Station Lighthouse
Breakwater Pier is open to the public,
and the North Pierhead Lighthouse is at the end of the pier.
It was established in 1882 and automated in 1972.
It is located at the end of the north breakwater at the
entrance to the Sturgeon Bay ship canal on Lake Michigan.
The shoreline along the bay.
Sturgeon Bay Canal Station Lighthouse
Lighthouse access is limited to the designated walkway past the tower
for external viewing only.
Established in 1899 and automated n 1972.
It is located at a fully operating United States Coast Guard Station.
It is situated at the mouth of the Sturgeon Bay ship canal on Lake Michigan.
We stopped in Sturgeon Bay for lunch at the Bluefront Cafe.
Our food was delicious.
Chicken wrap with curried lentil soup of the day.
Soup complete with peace sign.
Curried chicken salad sandwich on oat-nut bread.
