MacKinac Island
We travelled east from Minot ND on highway 2 which we thought was more interesting than what we had seen of the prairies in Canada. It was nice to be on our 'home turf' as we went thru Minnesota to Duluth and on into Wisconsin, along the south shore of Lake Superior and into Michigan. The cg at Iron Mountain was nice. When we arrived at St.Ignace MI, we decided to spend a few days at Summer Breeze CG overlooking Lake Michigan. Full hookup and only $25 with our Good Sam discount. Really a pretty spot to tour the Upper Peninsula. We spent a day at MacKinac Island and were pleasantly surprised at how big the island is, how interesting and pretty, and at how many people live there. The only way to the island is by ferry. We took the Shepler's Ferry trip which included a tour under the Mackinac Bridge.
We took the Mackinac Island Carriage Tours (world's largest horse & buggy livery) to experience the history, legends and beauty of the island. Although we took a horse and carriage tour, we could have rented our own horse and buggy, our own horses to ride around the island or rented bicycles. We would def recommend this stop to anyone. Can't believe we lived in Michigan for so many years and never went there.
