Lighthouse in Corolla, NC
On my way to get information on the wild horses in Corolla my niece and I came across a lighthouse.
Currituck Beach Lighthouse was completed on December 1, 1875. This is still a functioning lighthouse that is owned by OBC (Outer Banks Conservationist).
Some facts:
- There are 220 steps to the top
- 1,000,000 bricks
- Base of the lighthouse is over 5 1/2 feet thick
- Top of lighthouse is 3 feet thick
Check out Wikipedia for more facts.

Calais? An unusual (and French) name.
It was a city famous for the 100 year war between the english and the french.

Unfortunately it is a spelling error (will correct). Her name is actually Caila (ki la). I like how I always learn something new when you comment. Keep it coming!
