administration space and possibly hostel-style accommodations in the assistant keeper’s house. Meantime, the organization is pitching similar plans to the government for other lighthouses along the Sibley to Rossport corridor—ultimately creating a “lighthouse trail” for sea kayakers.
THE ORIGINAL LIGHTKEEPERS WOULD, I think, approve of the resourceful characters who have stepped in as stewards for their lights. Relicts of an increasingly distant era, the lake’s historic sentinels may well have succumbed to senescence were it not for the efforts of these mariners, misfits, enthusiasts and adventurers—a motley band whose members I count myself among.
