When they went to Pumpkin Island Light, Grammy and Flat Corrin went to see the bridge and the causeway. It was too rainy and foggy to take pictures of those too, so Grammy used some pictures she took from an airplane.
Flat Corrin really loved the bridge. It is very high and one quarter of a mile long. Before the bridge was built in 1939, there was only a ferry to get on the island. When they got back to Gramma Sal's house, she told Flat Corrin all about riding on that ferry when she was little.
Corrin was also excited about the causeway. You can see the causeway up above the bridge. The causeway is a road built with rocks and sand that goes over a sandbar to get to the rest of the island. When you ride across it, it is almost like being in a boat. It is very low, and there is water on both sides of you. When there is a storm, you can't go across the causeway, because it is covered in water! Real Corrin can tell you all about the causeway.
