Bodie Island Lighthouse

First lighted on October 1, 1872, Bodie is 156 feet high. Note the horizontal stripes for day time identification. At night it can be identified by the flashes of 2.5 seconds on, 2.5 seconds off, 2.5 seconds on, 22.5 seconds off. Its one thousand watt light is visible for up to 19 miles (think curvature of the earth and 156 feet high).
