Cigar Mike Reaches the Easternmost Point in the Continental United States

West Quoddy Lighthouse

It's finally Saturday infidels. Today I show you the Easternmost Point in the Continental United States, West Quoddy Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine. Just across the bay within a stone's throw is New Brunswick, Canada.

The light was originally built in 1807, under the orders of Thomas Jefferson, then rebuilt in 1858. It's red and white stripe pattern makes it one of the most recognized lighthouses in the USA.

I've now been to the Southernmost Point in Key West and the Easternmost Point in Lubec. Now I need to get to Northwest Angle, Minnesota for the Northernmost Point in the Continental USA and Ozette, Washington for the Westernmost Point and I can then say, "I've been everywhere man."

Adios, I'm a ghost as I continue to explore the 4 corners of the Continental United States.
