Morning View - The Little Red Lighthouse And The Big Gray Bridge

Saturday I went on a long bike ride with Dr. Jeff and the Farmboyz, trekking to the far north end of Manhattan and then into the Bronx. Under the George Washington Bridge is the famous Little Red Lighthouse, which you probably know from the classic children's book, The Little Red Lighthouse And The Big Gray Bridge. The lighthouse was originally built in 1880 at Sandy Hook, NJ but was moved to Jeffrey's Hook under the GWB in 1920. It was slated for demolition in 1947 but was saved in a nationwide campaign by fans of the book and is now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
