Mackinac Island Winter 2019


Steve and I had the opportunity to go to Mackinac Island on our snowmobiles twice this winter. We just followed the discarded Christmas trees which line the ice bridge. People cross by snowmobile, foot and fat tire bikes. All credit for these pictures go to Steve.


There I am sharing the road with the horses. That is the Grand Hotel in the background.


I'm being passed by another snowmobiler while Steve takes a pic. That is Fort Mackinac up the hill behind me. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the island except snowmobiles. Though we did see a county plow truck, a large loader hauling away snow from main street, and a sheriff driving around the island in a truck.


Like everywhere here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Mackinac Island has a lot of snow. In the distance you can see the Mackinac Bridge.


So many snowmobiles...There are only two restaurants open on the island during the off-season. On this day many visitors wanted lunch!


On our way back to the mainland!


On one of our trips to the island, we encountered this scene in the town of St. Ignace. Nobody got hurt except the snowmobile. Yikes.
