5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Hunting Lighthouses., October 6, 2008

This review is from: Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses Map & Guide (Map)

This map was great. Used it the weekend that I got it at the Maryland Lighthouse Challange. I was able to go to other sites that weekend not listed in the "Challange" tour. This map also provides stories with information and histories on each light listed. This map would also be good pinned up in a den or office to mark each site you visit. I wish there were more maps like this for other parts of the US.

This review is from: Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses Map & Guide (Map)

This guide, provided in map form, is great for anyone who wants to visit the lighthouses of the Mid-Atlantic. While the descriptions of the lighthouses are brief, they are informative and interesting. The best feature of this guide is the step by step directions to the location of each of the lighthouses. We recently toured the area and, with the help of the detailed directions, we were able to complete our journey without any problems. Considering where many lighthouses are located, this, in itself makes this publication well worth purchasing.
