The 11th day of the seventh month of the year of the OP







The view from the top at Hereford Inlet New Jersey



Sailing south from the Inlet at Barnegat on the north end of LBI on the Ocean side, past the Absecon Lighthouse at Atlantic City, and then the inlets at the Egg Harbors, mariners would next encounter the Hereford Inlet. And of course find the the Hereford Inlet lighthouse. My lighthouse, or at least I think of it as my lighthouse.


Very few can reach the very top of the tower to see what you see in the two images at the top of this page, but I am privileged to have been granted that permission. The building on the left houses the NJ State Police and hopefully will be acquired by the lighthouse for a future complex to include a lifesaving station replica. The inlet is behind and to the right with the North Wildwood beaches straight out and to the right. The bottom image is of the light as seen from the water's edge. North Wildwood is a total family oriented resort and is a wonderful town.

I am there every year in October for the New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge and have been adopted by the people who run the place and in turn have adopted them. You who have followed my writing here and elsewhere have witnessed my devotion to this place. It is a Victorian house with outstanding Victorian gardens
