The best-known lighthouses in Wisconsin
Ordered by how much has been written about each place. The numbers match the map.
Lake Michigan's shore has the town lights: Milwaukee Breakwater Lighthouse (1926) and Milwaukee Pierhead Light (1872) 2 km from downtown, Kenosha Light (1866) and Kenosha North Pierhead Light (1906) a kilometer from Kenosha, Wind Point Lighthouse near Racine. Green Bay has the Lower Grassy Island Range Light and Upper Grassy Island Range Light of 1872. Door County adds Cana Island Lighthouse (1869) and Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, and on Lake Superior the Apostle Islands have Sand Island Lighthouse and Devil's Island Lighthouse.
RLQuest knows 51 named lighthouses in Wisconsin, 32 of them with a Wikipedia article, and several are inland: Asylum Point Lighthouse near Oshkosh and Fond du Lac Lighthouse, both on Lake Winnebago. In the app a pier light is a short quest and an island light a long one; both are confirmed from your recorded route.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
