[See Kurt, I told you this one isn't very difficult. Everybody is getting it.]
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Sorry, it's not the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
How about Chapel Beach in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore? The boat owner can pray thanks for their safe return to shore.
Sorry, viewmtn; it's not Chapel Beach in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. I like your line of thinking, though.
How about Hatches Harbor in Cape Cod National Seashore? Ducks "hatch" and that would be a good place to escape a storm in your boat.
Well, viewmtn, I'll credit you with figuring out that the mystery spot is water-oriented. However, it's not Hatches Harbor in Cape Cod National Seashore. When you finally figure this one out, you'll see that a very important clue has been staring you right in the face.
