It was a beautiful fall day and I was able to meet Don Ross and another gentleman who I did not catch his but he was kind enough to give me a county map with directions to Grand Marias and also a woman from Ohio who was camping at Deer Park with her family. They were all putting mulch around some of the new shrubs. Everything looked beautiful! What a great job everyone was doing. I introduced myself to Don as the only member from New York state and enjoyed meeting him and talking with him. I hope to get back next year and see some more of the beautiful UP, it is my favorite place to travel. Thanks to everyone involved for their efforts to save this historic light! |

She has been a supporter for the trees that have been planted on the grounds. I wanted her to see the fine job that has been done with donation money. One concern we shared was we hoped that someone plans on blocking off access to the trees that have been planted during the winter. I am a snowmobiler and I could see people of this sport wanting to see the lighthouse in the winter, possibly driving over the trees and they might not even know it? If you need some help with placing barriers please e-mail me. We would love to help put them up to protect the trees during the winter. Please let us know if you need help. |

I have only recently become interested in lighthouses and while visiting Whitefish Point, I ran across your small brochure. Contrary to the complaints that I have read about the trek into the light, I feel the trip only adds to the splendor of this great place. I would truly love to do my part in helping with your restoration efforts. Please e-mail me and let me know how I can get personally involved. I will be clicking over to join the society in order to do my part that way. Thank you |

BUT HALF OF THE FUN OF IT, WAS TRYING TO FIND IT EVERY YEAR. I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR 25 YEARS NOW, AND WAS SO DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THE WHITEFISH POINT LIGHTHOUSE, AND THE TAQUAMENON FALLS BECOME SO COMMERCIAL. THE CRISP POINT LIGHTHOUSE AREA WAS ONE OF THE LAST BASTIONS OF UNDISTURED MICHIGAN WILDERNESS. WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE IT STAY THAT WAY. PART OF THE CHALLENGE WAS THE LAST QUARTER MILE WALK TO THE LIGHTHOUSE ALSO. I NOW SEE THAT YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT UP TO IT. HOPE IT DOESN'T BECOME THE TURKEY HILL/7/11 TYPE ATMOSPHERE THAT THE WHITEFISH POINT LIGHT HAS BECOME. IT USED TO BE A WILDERNESS. NOW, WHEN I LEAVE THE CITY, AND GO TO THE TAQUAMENON FALLS OR WHITEFISH POINT, I FEEL LIKE I'M STILL IN THE CITY. TOO TOO COMMERCIAL. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING AT WHITEFISH POINT EXCEPT FOR THE VIEW, AND THEY HAVE PUT A BREWERY PUB/RESTAURANT AT THE UPPER FALLS. PLEASE DON'T LET CRISP POINT BECOME LIKE THIS. I KNOW OF A FEW LAST PLACES OF BEAUTIFUL MICHIGAN WILDERNESS, BUT I'M NOT TELLING ANYONE. THEY'LL FIND IT AND TURN IT INTO THE K-MART PARKING LOT. SAVE THE LIGHTHOUSE? YES!!! HOW ABOUT WE SAVE THE WILDERNESS OF IT TOO!!! PLEASE!!! |

After that and also purchased a shrub. This June we visited again and what a difference. Bravo to all those who worked so hard! Only neg, my 12/99 newsletter was received in June. I can't fully express the feeling I get while visiting CPLH other than to say "It is just awesome". Please notify me earlier of events happening so that I may put them in my schedule and I look forward to seeing my name on the sponser list for the next newsletter. "Andi" Duffy |

This area of the UP has always been of much interest to me. Maybe you folks can help me. I have been trying to get to the Vermillion Life Saving Station for years now and have never been able to get past the chain link fence. I am very interested in Mich's maritime history, and would love to see (if anything) what hapened to it. I heard Lake Superior Univerisity bought the land it sits on, and are fixing up the old bldg.s, and going to use them for research. Do they have tours, anything?? Thanks for reading my plea, and continue your great work on Crisp Point. |

Margaret Warren - 05/01/00 11:41:20 My Email:mmwarren@ameritech.net City: Livonia State/Province: MI Country: USA | Comments: Our family was at the light on April 29th. We had a four wheel drive vehicle, but probably wouldn't have needed it. The road was fine all the way until the last 1/4 mile, there was a little snow and a large puddle. The day was great, the sun was shining, the sky was very clear, but it was chilly anywhere near the water. Good thing we brought our winter coats and mittens! The water level looked low, and you can see sand is blowing around. The light looks great, it is so bright white now! We had a nice picnic with Don and Nellie Ross, and climbed the tower. What a great view! |

I learned of your site this past weekend. I was at a large mall that was recently opened in our area, I happened to find a store that had a lot of lighthouse knick-knacks to buy and the sales person and I were talking about our favorite lights when this very nice gentleman told us about your site. I couldn't wait to get home to check it out, I think it will become my new favorite site. The pictures are great and I will definitly use your directions to get to Crisp Point.

I think we need a live camera at Crisp Point, so everyone who can't make it to the light could at least see what it's like there. Also that way I could keep better track of it myself!

We went out to Crisp Point on the morning of July 3rd 1998, driving a still-decorated white Explorer which we rented for our honeymoon trip to the UP (married June 27th). Got the map/brochure from Curley's Lakeview hotel countertop in Paradise, and went out on a whim. The road was very rough, and we tested the Explorer's 4WD several times. We came upon another couple stuck in deep sand and stopped to help. So did a pair of dune-buggys, filled with big macho guys. They impressed their ladies (us too) by LIFTING that car right out of the sand. We went on to the Point, parking at the designated place (this was before the parking area was created). The weather was wonderful, and after a long-ish walk we admired the lake, the lighthouse and its surrounds. The dune-buggys motored right onto the beach, which they probably shouldn't have, but once there they were nice enough, and they even took our picture a couple times. Our favorite photo of the lighthouse is almost the same as your web-site view, with the weathered paint and the little bush at the base. We relaxed for an hour, then 4-wheeled out and headed for Sault Ste Marie's Lockview Inn, our 4th of July hotel. We plan to retrace our honeymoon route in a couple of years. The UP is a wild and beautiful place! -
