Blog time, Thursday September 21 sitting in motel in Munising
Wednesday morning, I set the alarm for 0630. Today we are starting our UP trip. We have to be in Sand Lake at 0900 to meet Kim. She is taking Ms P.
We made a quick stop at Panera to get coffee and bagels to go. We arrive in Sand Lake slightly before 0900 and Kim is waiting. Quick transfer and we head north.
Beautiful day for a drive. Sun and temps in mid 70s. We both agreed that the colors as we headed north were not as advanced as in GR.
We arrived in Mackinaw City at noon. We walked around town and had lunch. After lunch we bought tickets to see Fort Michilimackinac. It was very interesting. I have toured the fort on the Island but this was my first time for the mainland fort. Why it the city spelled Mackinaw and the Island and bridge Mackinac?
After the fort we crossed over the Mackinac Bridge to St Ignace. It has been 20 years since I had been over the bridge. The fare is only $4.00.
In September 1955 AHS played a football game in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We took a ferry across the Straits and another over the St Mary’s River. It was a long trip. The game was on Saturday afternoon so we left early. AHS won. The bridge was a great investment for Mi.
We checked into our motel in St Ignace, The Breakers. Took a long walk along the City’s Boardwalk that follows the Lake Huron shoreline. Pleasant evening for a walk.
We had dinner at a restaurant located on the shoreline. We sat outside and had a pleasant dinner.
Great start for our UP trip.
