We took a ferry to Mackinac Island today. The island has banned motorized vehicles for more than a century, leaving bicycles and horses as the only means of transportation. In our nation's early history, Fort Mackinac was a strategic commercial and military post due to its location at the intersection of the Great Lakes. The fort is still manned by some role players who demonstrated a cannon salute.
Mackinac Island's views, history (and fudge!) made it a necessary stop on our adventure.
