We left Wisconsin this morning and drove north through the U.P. (Upper Peninsula of Michigan). We circled the northern part of Lake Michigan. The lake was very scenic. After about 6 hours of traveling we came to the Mackinac Bridge. On the right side of the bridge is Lake Michigan; on the left side is Lake Huron. It is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere. The total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 feet and it is about 200 feet above the water. It was very windy going across the bridge. They limited the speed limit of RV's to 20 mph. We are presently in a campground located right on Lake Huron. Tomorrow we are taking the ferry to Mackinac Island.
