Mackinac Island, Michigan

Fort Mackinac

Residential area along the public piers
A cold, cloudy, damp day at Mackinac Island.  Still motor vehicle-less (except for emergency vehicles), so still an island that requires walking, bicycling, or horse-drawn carriages for transportation.

 About half of the local businesses were open.  Walked a couple of the streets in town, visited the state park visitor's center, ate lunch, and took a carriage tour. We required hot chocolate and a
Arnold ferry ariving

quarter pound of fudge to recover from the carriage tour.  Still impressed by hardwood trees growing right next to the edge of the lake, though.  Mackinac Island still looks like a great place to experience a B&B get away.
