~ MACKINAC ISLAND ~

The first thing you will notice when you step foot onto this beautiful Island is the absence of automobiles.
Some find this ironic, seeing how Michigan revolutionized the world with the automobile.
Initiated in 1898, this ban on automobiles has resulted in clean, noise-free air and a quaint, village
ambiance filled with the soft clopping of horses. Just like yesteryear, you’ll get around by foot, bike, horseback
or horse-drawn carriage. Dock porters at the ferry lines will usher your luggage to your final destination.

Located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
It is well known for its numerous cultural events, its wide variety of architectural styles, and the famous Victorian Grand Hotel.

Great gallery...but you missed the most prominent feature of the island with the possible exception of the hotel...fudge shops. All those people walking about need fuel.
