Show Notes
The East Brother Light Station has been shaken and burned, yet rose from the ashes to become one of the most beautiful and unique bed and breakfasts we've ever seen! Listen in for tales of earthquakes, explosions, and the job available that puts you in a keeper's shoes.
P.S. Make sure you listen to the very end to hear the station's foghorn!
Take a look at the BNBs website for the job application and to learn more about the lighthouse: https://ebls.org/
