Have you ever been inside a lighthouse? During a recent vacation that my mom and I took (more on that later), I got to experience the thrill of doing just that. Okay, thrill may be a bit dramatic to describe this experience, but when I think back on it, it was pretty cool! I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, climbing to the top of a lighthouse would definitely be on it.
The Cape Cod Light (also known as the Highland Light) is located in the town of Truro on Cape Cod. The lighthouse was built in 1797 and is now operated by the local historical society. The light is still used as a navigational tool by the U.S. Coast Guard.

| We climbed 59 or 66 steps. I forget now, but the climb was steep! |
 |
| The last few steps to the top of the light. The rope was handy. |

| At the top, visibility was poor due to heavy fog. |
