Weather update: Yesterday, in early afternoon, the rains returned as well as the Hurricane Ike winds. Another typical summer day in northern Michigan. The temp this morning at 6:00 is now 55 degrees and it looks like it will be a sunny day.
Since yesterday was our final full-day in this area we just spent it relaxing and visiting a few of my favorite places. Okay, we visited the numerous fudge shops and the pasties food vendors. Barb finally found her courage and allowed me to drive over the Mackinac bridge. For the past several days she said she wasn’t going to go over it because of her phobias. Had I known she was this defective years ago, well I would’ve just left her in Wisconsin…
When the Mackinac Bridge opened in 1957 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, it is still the longest in the Western Hemisphere at just under 5 miles.
Today we break camp and head down to Bay City where will stay in a state park. While there we will visit Frankenmuth where they have the country’s largest Christmas Store among other attractions in this quaint German styled village.
