We were now almost back to Kittery, but we still
found a few more lighthouses.
Fort Foster Park, is closed to vehicle traffic
until spring, so walked in to see the ruins of the fort and to see Whaleback
Light, Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, and Wood Island Life Saving Station.
It was now approaching sunset and the sun came out again, giving great
rich colors to our photos

Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse (current tower 1878)
Fort Foster (1901-1946)
These cribs supported anti-submarine nets in both World Wars I and
II.

It was now approaching sunset and the sun came out again,
adding great rich colors to our photos taken at Fort Foster Park and at
Fort
McClary State Historic Site, which we visited for a few minutes before
the sun set. The parking is only open sunrise to sunset and when we left,
someone was waiting to lock the Fort McClary gate behind us.

The blockhouse was built in 1844.

Tonight's supper was at Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery,
