Learn more about the other Michigan ... the Upper Penninsula .. I talk to a lot of people who ask me ...
"What do you mean? the Upper Pennisula?" Seems some people don't realize Michigan is
separated into 2 parts...connected via the Mackinac Bridge.
The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world..spanning 5 miles from end to end. Since it was built back in 1957 there have been only two fatalities in regards to vehicles going over the side of the bridge..into the murky waters below. Another thing I have never done..is walk the bridge on Labor Day..I think I better do the 5 miles while I can still walk..sounds like fun huh? | Vital Stats Fatalities.. High Panic on Bridge.. |
one of my favorite spots.......the Tahquamenon Falls..located in Paradise, Michigan. Just 45 minutes from my home town of Newberry. There are the Upper Falls...and Lower Falls.. gorgeous in the summertime..and breathtaking in the wintertime with a myriad of frozen colors. | Tahquamenon Falls State Park The Upper Tahquamenon Falls Michigan's Many Waterfalls!! |
Welcome Info More of the Island Stu Stuart More on Stu :) |
there is the Island...Mackinac Island...you can take a ferry.. or charter a boat...and go out and visit the island. There are no vehicles allowed on Mackinac Island. To get around and explore..you have to rely on the use of a horse and buggy...a bicycle..or your own two feet..it's like going back in time for a brief time. It's sad for me to admit..having lived only an hour from Mackinac Island for half my life..I have never been there.. needless to say I've decided that is one visit I have to make and soon! |
There will be more coming here soon...Im sure a lot of you are dying to see the recipe for the famous...
