Conclusion of our Self-Guided Walking Tour of Mackinac Island

This post will conclude our self-guided walking tour of Mackinac Island. We are headed down our last street and there are so many things yet to see, including bicycles, grocery, and the Berkinstock store, to name a few. To enlarge a photo, click on it and escape to return to the blog.

This is the last post about Mackinac Island. In the upcoming posts we will be traveling further north and then west through more scenic country along the Whitefish Bay Scenic Byway where we see the Point Iroquois Light Station and the waters of Lake Superior, on our way to Tequahmenon Falls and eventually to Copper Harbor where the road comes to an end.

    1. Hi Sher,
      I am delighted to hear from you and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. While trying to catch up on blog posts, I have become a little lapse in checking for comments (sorry to be so slow), but will check my settings and make sure comments are forwarded to me in the future. I peeked at your blog and see we both enjoy doing puzzles, especially with 1,000 pieces. Last night I finished my latest post regarding Copper Harbor where the pavement ends, but I'm still two years behind because that trip was in the summer of 2018. John went to Facebook and hit the sign-up button for your blog, but could not find any subscription form on your blog. You two travel safe! Sharon
