We headed out of Drummond Island and headed for Mackinaw Island. On the way, we past the lighthouse at De Tour Village and saw folks who stay on the lighthouse day and night (first pic). It was a nice crossing on the last part of Lake Huron and we started into Makinaw Island. The next pic shows the Grand Hotel from the water on our approach to the island. The next day, the crew of BlueSkies headed out to explore the island (third pic). We biked around the island and one of the great scenic areas is Arch Rock (fourth pic), which shows the incredible rock formations on the island. Another key feature of the island was crystal clear water. The fifth pic shows Amy and Chris taking a swim in that unbelievable clear water. One of the great attractions of Mackinaw Island is that NO CARS are allowed on the island. So only bikes and horses provide transportation ! Pic 6 shows the delivery horse and wagon for the pharmacy and grocery store. We went to Ft Mackinaw, which was a great historic site but nothing of real significance happened there. Anyway, there was a lunch spot and we spotted a waiter, Rudy, who delivered lunch and drinks on a tray balanced on his head (pic 7)
