My first exposure to lighthouses came during a day trip to the Outer Banks, taken while on an extended business trip to Research Triangle Park near Raleigh, North Carolina. Since that first visit to a lighthouse, a good portion of my vacation time (and savings) has been spent on pilgrimages to lighthouses. I initially had not planned on visiting every lighthouse in the United States, but that eventually did happen during a trip to Alaska in 2007.

Lighthouse trips are more enjoyable when shared with fellow enthusiasts, and several friends have caught the lighthouse bug and joined in the adventures over the years. This website is a chronicle of those journeys.
