LA 3. Tchefuncte River Lighthouse
After Hurricane Katrina,
does this lighthouse still exist?
(we believe it probably does. It is on the bank of Lake Ponchartrain,
but may have had water in it.)
All these photos can be
ordered, use the state # (ME12) for example
and the A, B or C,
if there is more than one.

Tchefuncte River
Lighthouse, Louisiana

Bob took this
photo from a boat when we went to several lighthouses with Bruce and
Cheryl Roberts. This lighthouse is at Madisonville LA, but
cannot be viewed from the town. Some friends of ours hiked
down the beach to it, but say it was a terrible hike and don't
attempt it.
We first viewed it from a marina across the water from it, but our
photo wasn't very satisfactory as you couldn't see it's black stripe
very well. So when the Roberts offered us a chance to go with
them, we jumped at it. This day was dark and stormy and Lake
Ponchartrain was rough. Only the men went out in the shallow
boat, and while I hated to miss getting closer to the lighthouse, I
was very glad to be ashore when I saw them tossed around in the
boat. |
