I am of the mind that the skeleton made its way there from the shipwreck at the pier somehow or another. No one really knows, just another spooky mystery tucked into the driftwood. Perhaps it was the lighthouse keeper, unable to consider going on after his one love, the Twisted Upright House, ceased to be. Alas the story died with the bones, fused into the granite, melded into a molten lump of lag bolts and screws. Only the memory lives on…mwah ha ha!

Wow, awesome. I think I saw the light, though I don’t recall seeing the structure. Lovely.

You guys are the best! That lighthouse outdid them all. Beautiful to look at, a real piece of art. Those bones, what was that all about!? Kind a creepy. You guys were right, it burned just like a candle. At 3 am it was still going strong, got some great photos taken about then, and it looked like a scarey burning Jack o Lantern. Enjoyed all 6 hours I watched it burn! Was a pleasure to get to know you all and hope to continue to see more great art from Pyrogyliphics! I just can’t say enough about all of you guys. Hope to get up your way when you burn something on the beach. CrowBob.

You guys are rock stars of burns. the light house burned from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am, that make it the longest burn, a record not easily broken. It lighted the the playa for all, the entire night, A True light house. Doing my little part, I’m proud to be backer of such a amazing project!!

These guys were amazing when I got there. It has been such an honor to be involved with the Twisted Upright House project. I am so proud of Jed, Jeremy, Goatt and Brad that I could just split right in two. Pyroglyphics and Woodlabs outdid themselves, and the community really rallied to work together to create an amazing effigy. As the regional contact of record on this piece I stood at the fire from the time it was lit until the final embers ceased to glow. It was my pleasure and I have nothing but praise for Goatt and his crew. The Humboldt Burners are a real family, and they have become mine. If the day ever comes that they become their own region I will be proud, and sad, and very very excited to see all the amazing work they will create. From Trinity County to McKinleyville to Santa Rosa and back, the ideas were flowing and every person involved in the project gave their all. Thank you to all of the North Bay Burners who worked on the lighthouse – I had a lot of fun watching it burn. xoxo RLL
