As another Seacoast summer approaches, so too does the busy season for one of the Seacoast's top tourist destinations.


The Nubble Lighthouse, seated along scenic Cape Neddick in Maine, is an enduring symbol of the Seacoast. It's a nod to Maine's past as a commercial hub, an ode to Americana in its purest form.


For over a century, the Nubble has captured the imaginations of all who have visited. Why? Because they can look, but they can't touch.


Only one person alive is fortunate enough to have that honor, and he joins me on the show today.
