Lou Camerio of Lilburn was first to recognize “….the Au Sable Light Station on Lake Superior near Grand Marais, Michigan. It was built in 1873-74 and discontinued in 1958 when the US Coast Guard departed.” Bob Foreman of Grayson added: “This lighthouse is part of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, near Munising Township and Grand Marais, Michigan. This is on the upper peninsula of Michigan.”
Others identifying it were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Dick LoPresti of Berkeley Lake; and Cindy Evans, Duluth;
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. wrote: “Thanks for publishing my mystery photo submission of the Au Sable Light Station at Grand Marais, Mich. As to how long it will take for the GwinnettForum to publish a picture of all of the lighthouses in the USA, Assuming you were to publish such a picture twice a week, every week from this day forward (without any breaks or holidays), it would take longer than 6-1/2 years. According to Fodor’s Travel, there are more than 700 lighthouses in the United States. Good luck with that! HaHaHa.”
Rare sighting: You seldom see rare orange azalea in Gwinnett. This normally-wild azalea is more often seen in the North Georgia mountains. This plant is among many alive with color these days throughout Gwinnett.
