This the first lighthouse we visited called Cape Blanco. Built in 1870. Guide said winds reached over 100 mph regularly and maxed out at 187 a couple of times. Keepers would have to tie themselves off to ropes and crawl from oil house to lighthouse to keep it lit. We got to go up to the top and stand right next to a working first order Fresnel Lens. The magnification was amazing. The view was awesome.
