@@tarekbendjenni7037 we’re from NY but it doesn’t make sense to move from one cold snowy wintry place to another. We’d spend summers there in retirement easily though
Been going to Mackinaw Island since 1982. Some summer twice. You missed touring the Grand Hotel, the worlds largest wooden summer resort. Love it and will be back soon..
I'll take the horses and fudge too!! Looks like Zeus was having a marvelous time. Such a great day and such wonderful looking weather too! Take good care and have a happy weekend...Bruce and Otis
That bridge looks so amazing and to hear that’s the 3rd longest suspension bridge is great. The beautiful town just looks like they come out of fairyland movie. No cars allowed that’s cool 😎 best way to explore this huge island is of course by biking. The stairs leading to arch rock is very steep, but the view is totally worth it. Did you say it was used to be a national park? That’s weird. Cannonball is a nice place to have a lunch at the middle of Forest.. definitely worth visiting this island for the beautiful nature. Another phenomenal video.
Noticed some additions to the Island since I lived there in ‘73, ‘75, honeymooned in ‘77, visited in ‘91 and in a couple of other years in the past 20 years. Met my husband there in 1975 through Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship!
This is awesome! Do the bike rental places provide bike locks for when you leave your bike behinds while walking a trail, or do you suggest bringing one?
Good question. I’m not sure. I can tell you this, we saw no locks ever. Everyone left their bikes out and went wherever unattended, including us. I think the bikes are numbered so there’s really no reason to steal them when you’re on an island haha. We never gave it a thought.
Yeah we were trying to word it the right way. It’s fascinating how they measure bridges, by their main span, and not total length. Mackinac is amazing and impressive though, and I was definitely shook by the wind.
How long did you spend on the island? Also- did you skip the grand hotel for a reason? We are going to the island in a couple of weeks so this is helpful!
Just a day. I think we took the first ferry in the morning and one of the last back. Other than passing the hotel on our bikes, I can’t say we know much about it other than it looks cool 😊. Hope you have as much fun as we did! It’s a great place and I do wish we would’ve spent at least one night, but it was a last minute decision to go.
@@MagellanandGreyhound we are staying on the mainland and will also only be able to do a day trip. Trying to decide if we can leave our dogs behind or if we will be gone too long. Our dog is too big for one of those cute little carrier
@@campinwiththeconfers that’s a tough call. I think if we hadn’t brought Zeus we would have still gone, but likely cut out earlier. Dog bladders aren’t that different from human ones. The island is very dog friendly. I don’t know if they had bigger dog carriers, but you could ask. They do have carriage tours where we saw bigger dogs riding along. :)
@@MagellanandGreyhound I saw the winter version Its awesome. I love the lake view. This town Is great. But does It have any McDonald's or other fast foods?
Do you think this island is really worth it? I have seen a few videos of it and it doesn’t seem very entertaining. We have a 10 and 13 year old who will be traveling with us
We loved it. The best part of our entire road trip. That said, not that our video is the greatest video ever made of it, I’d say if the video didn’t seem entertaining enough for you, it may not be entertaining for you. 😂😂😂 Hope that helps
I don't remember the exact cost (it wasn't insanely expensive), but the two ferry operators provide overnight parking. If you just go for a day trip, it's free.

Thanks for another great video. It was like a mini-vacation for me to watch!. Glad Zeus had fun!.
One of the most exciting days of his life! 😁
Been there before most beautiful place I've ever visited and the Mackinac Bridge is a masterpiece ✨️ 💖
That's awesome. So you know the deal! We actually wondered if we could live there haha, but then we thought about winter ...
@@MagellanandGreyhoundlol right winter is rough up there don't even try

@@davidsmyth5770 that’s awesome! We’d love to revisit. I think we passed by the hotel but didn’t know you could go in! Hopefully next time …

It really was. I'm not sure you'd put Otis in a burley, but you two would enjoy walking the island!
the island is so beautiful and love the history lesson, but Zeus steals the show! Great tour.
You’d really enjoy it. Hands down best day of the trip. Second place and third place are coming up soon lol
Right?? It was totally his day! I feel bad for how boring his home life is LOL

Thank you Suri. It was like the land that time forgot. Really great place to visit. Put it on your list!
BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! ❤
😊
What a beautiful place. Thanks for creating this content so we can see beauty of this country.
Thank you! We’ve always known the US is massive but never knew just how amazing it is. This place really is a gem
Awesome share and channel my friends well done
All the best see you again be safe always cheers 👍👍
Thanks!
Nice video. I don't expect I'll make it that far, so it's pleasant to see the things other travelers experience.
Hopefully you make it one day. You never know right?

That’s amazing! We thought about moving there. We loved it so much.
Praise the Lord for you connection with Christ through IV. I met my wife at IV in Duluth.
Pretty cool place to bike around. I hope Zeus liked it. 😊
He leads a fairly boring walk around the neighborhood and park life. This was over stimulus for him but he loved it 😁
Recently the ice has been too thin during the winter to get back and forth safely save for a few spots
The entire idea of going over any part of a frozen lake is crazy to us! Would love to see it one day and visit if possible during the winter.
Greatest place on this wonderful planet.
We loved it loved it loved it!

This video makes me want to go back to the island. Think I will plan a trip next spring or fall. Great job representing! Now I want fudge dammit lol
You should! And thank you! We really had a great trip in Michigan, but definitely up there.
Hi, great video, happy to found you! have a lovely day ❤

Very nice, good job my friends 🙂
Thank you Petr, hope all is well :)

Hola hermosísimo lugar el 4 de julio lo pasamos en ese lugar y es hermoso saludos desde San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato México
Gracias! A nosotros también nos encantó! Nos alegra que hayas visitado.
Lo recomiendas?
OMG, the fudge! LOL
The next time you see me look at my belly. You will see all the fudge. 😝
We ate one whole box before we got on the ferry man!
Fun Times! 👍🏼🇺🇸
Totally!
..a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thank you so much!
@@MagellanandGreyhound Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
@@magicworldbyjorg you too!
@@MagellanandGreyhound Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….
The fort and the fudge!
Always the fudge! 😂
Mackinac Bridge is three miles longer than the Golden Gate (!) but the suspension span is shorter by 400 feet compared to the Golden Gate.
Yeah we were trying to word it the right way. It’s fascinating how they measure bridges, by their main span, and not total length. Mackinac is amazing and impressive though, and I was definitely shook by the wind.
My favorite spot was Fort Mackinac.
I wish we had more time to explore. If we visit again, I’d like to spend a few nights. Beautiful place!
So pretty love it 😍
Amazing place to visit. Definitely go!
Check out beaver island in Lake Michigan

this is how 90% of every city should be.
Agreed! It was absolutely wonderful
Great for tourists, bad in everything else
I miss living In Small-towns. Mackinac Island seems like a best place to live.
We really loved it, briefly flirted with the idea of - could we live here? - and then were told about winter hahah
@@MagellanandGreyhound I saw the winter version Its awesome. I love the lake view. This town Is great. But does It have any McDonald's or other fast foods?
@@Krypton853 I’m pretty sure it has no fast food.
@@MagellanandGreyhound Oh well It seems like a great town with nice lake surrounded by It.

If you're looking to lose weight then this seems like the place to visit
Ahaha, no joke! Although ... fudge.
What camera do you use? Do you use a gimbel?
@@DJ-uc5qd mostly GoPro (on wrist or a held by a handle), iPhones sometimes too
What time of the year, did you guys visit Makinac Island?
Late June - early July, I forget the exact dates
@@MagellanandGreyhound Thank you. Your videos are fun to watch and very informative. Keep up the good work.
@@jeevanmarg appreciate that! We try to show what we can 😁
I'm planning to go but not sure how it works to leave the car (where, how muchis it cost? ) cuz I want to stay a night in the island!
I don't remember the exact cost (it wasn't insanely expensive), but the two ferry operators provide overnight parking. If you just go for a day trip, it's free.
Do they have kid bikes? How late is the last ferry?
I remember seeing tons of kids bikes. Not sure the sizes though. The last ferry back is 9pm I think during the summer season.
