In Marquette, MI for Memorial day weekend last year and the ice chunks were a floating around where the boats were supposed to be in the slips. look off over the Lake and could see the Ice Bergs in the Water.

hey in january and February last year I was in St. Ignace and the snowmobilers were transporting lumber across the frozen Mackinac straits to Mackinac Island where they were building a new hotel. The trail was marked with Christmas trees to allow for safe travel. I thought it was pretty cool. I will be in St. Ignace again on March 16, will remember the camera

That would be great. In fact, with members all over the country, there should be a blogger/personal category for home town photos. We love America, especially the land, and the Creator!

Every year, when the Straits freeze, the snowmobilers make a road and mark it with old Christmas trees. Aside from a plane, snowmobiles are the only way on and off the island.

Oh, and bring your warmest clothing! Our temps have been breaking all previous records. If you want to blend in with the locals, your fashions should include Sorel and Carhart :)
