Fall is around the corner and with that we start prepping for this years lighthouse challenge.
What: Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey 2014
When: Saturday, October 18th through Sunday, October 19th
Starting Point: Airport Plaza
1390 Highway 36
Hazlet, NJ 07730
Time: 9:00 AM
The Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey is a weekend long event where the 11 land based lighthouses of NJ are opened to the public for visitation and climbing. In addition to the 11 lighthouses there are two museums, and two life saving stations to visit as part of the challenge. A souvenir passport will be available for purchase for $1.00. As you visit each location, your passport will be stamped as proof of each visit. This will be your souvenir to commemorate your participation in the event.
For additional information about the Lighthouse Challenge, please visit the Official Lighthouse Challenge of NJ website, the NJ Lighthouse Society website, and the Lighthouse Challenge of NJ Facebook page.
This marks the sixth year 3SNJ will be participating in this event. This is a rain or shine event, so there are no excuses to miss this even if we have bad weather. We have completed this event in a Noreaster with driving rain and high winds and still had a good time. Every year, the views from the top of the lighthouses were spectacular regardless of the conditions. This is a great opportunity to visit some great sites and learn a little about these monuments that have aided sailing vessels for a century or more. This year celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, one of the oldest operating lighthouses in the United States.
This is 3SNJ's longest official cruise event, totaling almost 400 miles along most of New Jersey's shoreline. There are great photo ops available during our travels, you will not be disappointed with the vantage points the lighthouse can provide. It does not matter what car you drive in this event. We do not discriminate and this is not a race. The cruise is very casual with many stops, so it does not even feel like you are doing the distance. This is a PUBLIC event so you can invite anyone that has a desire to cruise with us. Wear comfortable shoes, as we will be climbing as many lighthouses as time permits.
The locations that will be part of this event/cruise will be:
Day #1:
Lighthouse location details will be posted at a later date.
There will be an overnight stay after the Absecon Lighthouse night climb in Atlantic City.
There will be no official hotel for this event. Lodging arrangements will be the responsibility of the participant. Lunch stops will be made on the fly and fitted into the schedule.
The Tinicum Lighthouse in Paulsboro will be our end point for this event. From there all participants can depart for home.
