This blog is for aimless ramblings about vintage motor scooters, travel, and how to survive retirement. You may see other subjects here, because there are lots of stories back there in the cobwebs of my brain.

The Hatteras Light
The lighthouse on Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. Because of beach erosion, this structure was recently moved about a mile to a safer location. Picture made in May 2005.
It has to be at least six years ago ... I remember visiting Block Island (off the shores of CT/Rhode Island). The lighthouse was going to be moved further back because of the land corrosion. They posted a notice that a film about the move was going to be on PBS. I thought to myself, "Oh, I'll have to watch that." Never caught it, but I bet it would have been very interesting to see.
