And in '89 I'm sure I lobbied for the ferry.. but we may not have been able
to drive
there anyway unless we had reservations to stay on the island.
Ann, the Mac bridge connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan -
has nothing to do with the island. To get to the island you take one of
several ferries. In the winter you can ski doo across.

Subject: Re: Geso Mackinac Island Trip
Don -
Really enjoyed these... Mackinac Island is a special place to me , mainly
from my childhood, but I did get back there when we were driving back from
Alaska in OCtober, 1989. We took the ferry and only stayed on the island
two hours... Richard wasnt up to much of a hike.
I only got a very few shots on slide film then... and not sure now which
trip it was :-( - but before digital days. Don't have any that I know
were taken there in the 40's by my mother or father. Loved the Ester
Williams movie with Van Johnson and Laurence Melchior (sp?) that was made
on the island.
That wooded path is particularly appealing, several of the bridge shots
are very strong. The bridge wasn't there in the 40's. And in '89 I'm sure
I lobbied for the ferry.. but we may not have been able to drive
there anyway unless we had reservations to stay on the island.
All this is a long way of saying I'm grateful for your photos of the
place.

If you have a moment please look at these photos from my trip to
Michigan in June. Some duplicates I know but that dam bridge just
demanded my attention. This is a subset and anyway smugmug scrolls very
quickly. Any comments will be appreciated and not ignored. All taken
with Pentax cameras.
