So cassie and I decided that we want to see all the lighthouses of NJ .. Today we started with Barnegat … the walk down the lighthouse fishing pier and lookout was a perfect spot. We got to meet slot of great people and fishermen and woman…and even got to share some fishing stories.
The lighthouse was closed unfortunately ( remodeling not covid ) but we will be back next year when it’s open again.. hopefully …
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. The area where the lighthouse stands was regarded as one of the most important navigational points for ships bound to and from New York Harbor. The ships were dependent upon the Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The fast currents, shifting sandbars, and offshore shoals challenged sailors. The park is included as a maritime site on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail.
A day down in barnegat
This gentleman told us how he fishes here often and saw two idiots .. literally go fishing on a mossy wet rock
Like this one here and we’ll like dumbasses ended up in the water .. he had to help him by tossing his rod over the rail for him to hold onto.. the guys said thank you didn’t learn there lesson and decided to keep fishing.
Another peaceful yes chilly morning…. Cassie is here visiting and having coffee on the porch .. next .. walk the pup and off we go who knows where the day will bring us …
The year was 1996 the year I graduated high school.. I new this girl named Kim Loughner her family was my own .. she and I joined to the hip … we did all those things teenagers did..

I love using the National archives for research… it has so much information great for family historians … I put my dads name in the search bar and his petitions and records of naturalization came up today!
It shows where
He lived.. his alien number in the service …what squadron he worked in …address ..
So, I always tell anyone new.. who has taken a DNA test to upload onto GEDMATCH .. just because its another easy way to find out how .. with what generation .. and contact ( email ) we are related… here is a brief video if you have not already looked into it
