Saddleback Ledge Light, Isle au Haut Bay, Maine. The lighthouse's first keeper, Watson Hopkins, lived in the tower with his wife and seven (later eight) children. The tower contained a living room with a stove, two bedrooms and a cellar, and the ledge is about a quarter of an acre at high tide. According to a 1842 report, he was miserable.

INTRODUCING
>> Saddleback | DustyClan Master Warrior | 80 moons | pronouns up to rper | ADOPT
Saddleback is a Master Warrior of DustyClan, known for having a tongue almost as sharp as their claws. They were born alongside their sibling, Leatherface. The two were identical twins, and they spent all their time together, even after they became warriors. Leatherface was eager to find adventure, and Saddleback followed them in their pursuit of it. Fifty moons ago, the two left camp to confront a group of dogs that had been chasing away prey in DustyClan’s territory. Saddleback was promoted to a Master Warrior upon their return. Leatherface did not return at all.
When the Red Claw gang came to the clans’ territories, Saddleback’s mother, Stirrupshine, was one of the first cats killed in conflict with them. Shortly after, their other parent, Horsepelt, died from their broken heart. Saddleback fought hard in the war against the gang, and has since been vocal in their dislike for RustClan.
Recently, their uncle, Tinspit, has disappeared from the clan and been presumed dead. Without any family left, one is left to wonder what’s tethering Saddleback to DustyClan - is it simple clan loyalty, or something else entirely?
DustyClan applications will open in 3 days!
