    This is not in my collection. I feel a bit sad about lighthouses not working any more...

    A lighthouse wouldn't have been my first thought as a shelter from a hurricane. Nice to have a themed stamp on the postcard, I like the U.S. Lighthouse series

    Hello John, aside from the postcard from John (Robinett), this Bolivar lighthouse postcard is one of the very few light house I've seen with a few buildings around it. Thanks for sharing and linking up. Until next weekend.

Welcome. I love it when visitors comment - even if it's only to say "Hi, I've been here!"
