Next Up...the Harbor Beach Lighthouse

M-25 is actually a pretty nice drive.  For the most part it follows the shore of Lake Huron through the thumb.  In many places, you can still see the Lake.  Occasionally, you can see freighters doing their thing.
 I would have stopped at the Port Sanilac lighthouse but the parking in lot in front of it was still pretty snow covered and it looked treacherous.  So I continued on to the Harbor Beach Lighthouse.
 At one time, the Harbor Beach lighthouse was just a reef light but they built a breakwater to protect the harbor.
 It is similar in design to the Detroit River Lighthouse.
 It is known as a "sparkplug" lighthouse.
 It is a pretty neat looking lighthouse and the light was hitting it perfectly when I arrived.
 There was quite a bit of ice in the harbor.
One more shot before moving on.
