Some New News About Some Old Stuff.
1. BODIE ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE-- On North Carolina's Outer Banks, built in 1872, is in bad shape. It is north of Oregon Inlet. The Coast Guard gave it to the National Park Service in 2000. Three million dollars has been allocated to its restoration. Work will begin in August and is expected to last 18 months.
2. MOLINE RR DEPOT-- Has been placed on Illinois' Ten Most Endangered Historic Places list. It is over 100 years old and is in the way of an I-74 ramp. Hopefully they will be able to move it. I've seen a picture of it and it is impressive.
3. SOUTH JERSEY WORLD WAR II TRAIL-- Hey, and you can include a beach trip as well. The war on the often overlooked home front.
* Cape May World War II lookout tower
* Camden-- Battleship USS New Jersey
