Customs employees alerted the FBI. Just tourists, the men said. The names, of course reeked of the Casbah, or whatever. Officialy no crime was committed according to the law books.
Many, many times have I crossed this great monument to a human endeavour, known as the Mighty Mac. A thing of beauty and yet utility. It is walked across by thousands on Labour Day. I carried my three year old daughter across it on my shoulders.
I am in awe yet, as I pay my fee and drive across to Mackinac City. My exclaimation pushes the limit.
Bloody swines.
Revealing my age, I recall childhood vacations to the Upper Penninsula when the bridge was under construction and the ferry would go past the pilings and construciton boats. I never had the opportunity to actually see the completed bridge, or drive across it, which I have always wanted to do. Photo is beautiful.
If I'm not taking a boat from Traverse City to the Island, I drive the other way across the bridge, to St Ignace, mainly to take the Bridge, but also since it's a much shorter ferry ride than from Mackinaw City. When sailing or motoring into Huron, the Bridge is a stunning view from the water, especially when you pass under it.
