Mackinac Island


We have traveled to Michigan and have followed the coastline the whole way. Yesterday we took the ferry to Mackinac Island (pronounced Mackinaw). The ferry was fast and shot up a large rooster tail behind it. It was a little rocky coming back! The island is quaint. There are no vehicles allowed on the island-only horses and bikes. We saw a new house being built and the materials were being "trucked" by cart and horse. Al wondered what the total delivery costs would be on that house! It is 8 miles around the island. We spent the day biking and it was wonderful.
