Wind Point and Racine, WI

Your mother and I were looking for something to do on Saturday. So we found a lighthouse listed near Milwaukee and decided to take a road trip.

We had a little trouble finding it, who would have thought you could hide a lighthouse? We did find it and it was well worth the effort.

The little building is the Fog Horn Building which is now a museum.

A flower amoung the flowers!

This engine room panel was made in Cleveland in 1909,

Some of the flowers on the grounds of the lighthouse. They had beautiful little garden with a bench overlooking Lake Michigan. It really was a gorgeous spot and a wonderful day on which to enjoy it.

The Wind Point Lighthouse as seen from just north of Racine. It was a little hazy, so the colors are not as good as they might be. We are going to try to go back in the fall when the trees have changed. Its about a 90 min drive from our house.

We had to wait while the drawbridge opened to let a group of sailboats out of the inner harbor.

This is a view of the Drawbridge from the outer harbor.

The Racine Lighthouse is on the right. The light is no longer visable. The building on the left is the Rescue Station. Both are now owned by a yatch club so this is as close as the poor people can get.

The resturant in Racine overlooked the harbor and the lighthouse.
