Mackinac Island

Busy day today.  Took the ferry with our bikes to Mackinac Island.  Everybody is either riding bikes or moving by horse and buggy.  Even the supplies for the stores are delivered by horse and cart.  Took a 8 mile bike ride around the island.  Very scenic. Also took a buggy ride around the island. The tour guide on the buggy ride was very informative.  The Grand Hotel is on the island.  It was built in 1887 and is quite grand.  Whiletaking the buggy ride we thought we saw Elton John walking on the sidewalk with his dog.  Later we heard that indeed Elton John was on the island.  Talking about a small world.  We came back to the campground and the camper behind us was from WV.  After talking to our neighbors we find that they live in Valley Grove, WV.  Probably less than 15 miles from us.  Tomorrow we are leaving Michigan and heading south.  Not sure where we will end up.

  1. Have you seen "Somewhere in Time"? It was filmed at the Grand Hotel.
