We recently drove to Point Lookout State Park to take a quick drive. We wandered around a bit, and I took a few pretty sunset pictures over the calm waters.
We visited the newly renovated Point Lookout Lighthouse June 9th (which is open on 4 day weekends through the summer). I wanted to see if there
were any photos of one of my friends who grew up there, Eunice Knott, and finally found one
photo of her on the wall in her graduation gown. There was a nice exhibit about different types of
buoys, including a tall spar buoy (red and white) and newer 6x20 LR (green).
Inside the lighthouse, the Friends of Point Lookout put in some furnishings.
The clock resembled a clock I grew up with that my grandparents owned. I once
took a bad photo of Mr. Raymond Hartzel, enlisted Coast Guard, who worked for
George Gatton, last civilian lighthouse keeper on July 11, 2009 while he was
visiting.

didn't go up to the very top when I noticed the entrance was very small for
someone with a large camera and poor balance, but I found the old photo I took
on July 11, 2009.
We wandered down to Point Lookout to hear the surf and view the Bay from a different perspective.
I visited Point Lookout State Park to look for birds before the summer crowds. I didn't see many closeup, so I am sharing park photos. I went close to the beach area to see a view of the Lighthouse. Then I stopped at the reconstructed Fort Lincoln. This time the white buildings were open and contained wood stoves, tables and bunks. I even saw a few deer. Last, I stopped at the 2008 Confederate Memorial Park where several tents were erected and orange day lilies were in bloom.
