If this light was NEW I don't like the idea of anyone, especially me, crawling out onto a narrow balcony 75' up head first....Now I know. AND I am glad you are back. Happy New Year.

Tybee Island and St Augustine had /have lighthouses open to the public. Remember, a great deal of stair climbing is involved, some people do not climb as quickly as you do, there are people climbing down the stairs as you climb up, it is rather narrow space and it seem more narrow when crowded with your fellow man, woman and child. it can get hot inside there. The view is usually the ocean ,rooftops and cars parked in parking lots. There can be a nice breeze however once one reaches the top, one usually questions their judgement for climbing up there for a few minutes to view the landscape, now one has to walk down the stairs. Now if one climbs ladders to clean gutters on a routine basis-- hoisting your body mass vertically for a considerable amount of time then you will probably enjoy the opportunity with less residual aftermath of sore muscles. Indeed , PH your post was most educational.
