Mackinaw City, Bridge and Island



Monday, June 26
We packed up and departed the house at 9:30.  Just north of Berne we had to pull over for a slight adjustment to the car top carrier to secure the front from flapping and stopped the noise.
The trip through Michigan went fast, but as we approached Indian River we ran into a mist that increased into rain.  As we pulled into Mackinaw City the rain turned back into a heavy mist that allowed us to visit some of the shops downtown.

 We ate at O’Reilly’s Irish Pub and enjoyed a hearty meal of Shepherd’s Pie and Meatloaf.  Bo enjoyed the leftover meatloaf.  

We walked along the shore of Lake Huron picking up a few pretty rocks.  It was windy and cool.  We smelled the lilac bush before we saw it and Nan commented it was the first one she had smelled in 60 years.  We had fun watching the cars and trucks crawl across the Mackinaw Bridge.

We crossed the bridge ourselves and found our hotel on the east side of St Ignace with a beautiful of Mackinac Island.  As the sun set it came out of the clouds and lit up the island.  We even saw a vertical rainbow above Lake Huron.

Tomorrow we are taking the Ferry to Mackinaw Island.  Can't wait!
