Visitors make their way up the steps leading to a lighthouse at the Point Reyes National Seashore in Point Reyes, Calif., Sunday, Dec. 29, 2002. The lighthouse was built in 1870 to keep sailors from crashing into the rocky shore as they navigated into and out of San Francisco Bay, 35 miles to the southeast. Today, an automated electric light and fog horn warn mariners of the rocky shore below, but the original Point Reyes Lighthouse, on the tip of a peninsula north of San Francisco, remains as a testament to California's maritime past. Years of wind, fog and harsh sea air have left the structure in need of repairs, so the 132-year-old lighthouse is being restored as part of a $1.2 million project by the National Park Service.
