The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
This lighthouse was built in 1908 to replace an earlier version after the original brick lighthouse was damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake.
Constructed of reinforced concrete, this lighthouse was built by a company that specialized in smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
At 115 feet tall, the Point Arena Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the U.S West Coast (tied with Pigeon Point)
Point Arena is the closest point to Hawaii on the U.S. mainland, which makes this as close as I will probably ever get to Hawaii.

Nash Point Lighthouse was designed and built by
Joseph Nelson being completed in 1832 to mark the
hazardous sandbanks off Nash Point, overlooking
the Bristol Channel. This followed the wrecking of
the passenger steamer Frolic on these sands in 1831,
with a heavy loss of life.
Two circular towers were built, each with massive walls and
a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37
metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres
high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights
to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high
light was painted with black and white stripes and the low
light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed
light which was either red or white depending on the
direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector
marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned circa 1925 and the high
light was modernised and painted white. In place of the
fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed
which gave a white and red group flashing, this was
removed in the automation of the station and replaced
with a rotating optic. Nash Point Lighthouse was the last
manned lighthouse in Wales. It was automated in 1998
with the keepers leaving for the last time on the 5 August.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the
Planning Centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex.

Point Sur Lightstation is a lighthouse at Point Sur, California, 135 miles south of San Francisco, on the 361-foot tall rock at the head of the point. The light house is 40 feet tall and 270 feet above sea level. It was established in 1889. As of 2010, the light was still in operation as an aid to navigation.
The closest point to Hawaii from the Continental United States, Point Arena was a geographically important location for navigation. Hence in 1870 a brick-and-mortar lighthouse was built atop Point Arena. This was damaged beyond repair by the 1906 Great San Francisco Earthquake and for its replacement, the United States Lighthouse Service specified that it needed to withstand another earthquake. It eventually contracted with a San Francisco company specializing in smokestacks, accounting for its long, thin design. The 1908 Point Arena Lighthouse is thus the first lighthouse built of reinforced concrete.
The lighthouse is 35m tall, tied with the Pigeon Point Lighthouse as the tallest lighthouse on the Pacific Coast. It has a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, made up of 666 glass prisms focused toward three sets of double bullseyes, providing two flashes every six seconds. It was automated in 1977.

Education was a primary concern of the new Oklahomans and within six weeks of the land run, Oklahoma City boasted a school house. School buildings also served as churches, social centers, and polling places.
Stoney Point School was built in 1897 and located near present day Rose Hill Township. This "three window," one-room schoolhouse closed its doors to the last classes of all eight grades on July 16, 1947. The actual chalkboard, which was made of mud, plaster, and horse hair, can be seen in the schoolhouse today. The Stoney Point School was relocated to the Harn Homestead in 1987.
Located in Washington, Iron, and Kane Counties in southwestern Utah, Zion National Park encompasses some of the most scenic canyon country in the United States. Within its 232 square miles are high plateaus, a maze of narrow, deep, sandstone canyons, and the Virgin River and its tributaries. Zion also has 2,000-foot Navajo Sandstone cliffs, pine- and juniper-clad slopes, and seeps, springs, and waterfalls supporting lush and colorful hanging gardens.
With an elevation change of about 5,000 feet-from the highest point at Horse Ranch Mountain (at 8,726 feet) to the lowest point at Coal Pits Wash (at 3,666 feet), Zion's diverse topography leads to a diversity of habitats and species. Desert, riparian (river bank), pinyon-juniper, and conifer woodland communities all contribute to Zion's diversity. Neighboring ecosystems-the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Rocky Mountains-are also contributors to Zion's abundance.
