Crisp Point Lighthouse - VLog

Ever wonder what it's like to be a volunteer keeper at Crisp Point? Hint: Lots of fun with a little bit of work. This short Vlog highlights more of the "fun" aspect. And how you can really take advantage of camping on the lighthouse grounds. While we didn't have many clear nights for astrophotography, there was a night where the skies allowed for some Milky Way - and Aurora!
I was super thrilled to share this experience with two fantastic friends: Shelly of Michigan Milkyway (www.michiganmilkyway.com), and Stephanie. Without them, I probably would not have had the courage to make the drive up, as I spent the month prior in agonizing facial nerve pain that left me pretty incapacitated. So far the medication seems to be helping, so here's so more adventures!

Glad you are feeling better and able to get out and do what you love. Looking forward to what you will be doing on your KZbin channel.

[@Shelbydiamondstar]

Thank you! The fear of it coming back is definitely still there, as its very random. But I'm trying to not let it keep me completely homebound.

Glad you are feeling better.

@@stevethompson8154 thank you! I am too. I don't know what's wrong yet. There's a suspect that it might be related to on old head injury. I go for an MRI tomorrow. So we'll see

Really enjoyed that! Wonder if you were there when we drove around that part. We did go up to Whitefish Point.

[@Shelbydiamondstar]

Thanks! I was there back in June - it just takes me forever to actually get to these videos. LOL.. Glad you liked it. I'm not a "video person", so it's hard for me to sit down and make these. But, ya know.. Keep up the great work on your stuff!
