I am here!

I started my first day as a Ranger today!  This week I will be learning all the things a Ranger does.  I started out my morning by climbing to the top of the Hatteras lighthouse. The view from the top of the lighthouse is wonderful!  I had to climb 257 steps to get to the top, it is like climbing a 12 story building!

Did you know that turtles have beaks?  I did not!  I am adding a picture of a turtle skull that the Rangers use for lectures.

This week I get to go to the Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Ocracoke Island lighthouse, so I will share pictures with you of both of those lighthouses.

More coming!  Thanks for reading!

This is where I will be working!  The Hatteras Lighthouse and Visitor Center.

I should be smiling-- isn't it beautiful?

This is a turtle skull, the darker part is its beak.
