    Loved this! I swear if I was 20 years younger I'd come work for you on the island in a heartbeat Jack! ❤ Grand Garden show is on my bucket list. 👍

    OMG!! That is how life is meant to be lived. No noisy loud cars or rudely loud neighbor cranking their loud awful music or children yelling there head off when they don't get things their way. That island is a piece of heaven!!! Community working as a team. Bicycle way around for your great health. And my lord all that Fresh Air that you can actually smell the fresh flowers.

    It is so stunning to be reminded of how much incredible talent and work goes into making Mackinac island so beautiful. I truly appreciate all of the beauty that you bring to us and I appreciate all of the people who work to make it so. Thank you, Jack, for sharing this. My husband and I love Mackinac! Peace and blessings to you and everyone on the island in this brand new year!

    Jack, you made A LOT of calls! The Island seems to have a spirited, upbeat atmosphere there. Such a place of beauty and labor intensive people. Thank you for your dedication and talents for all to appreciate and enjoy. I hope to run into you if I get to the Island again some day. The behind the scenes tour was eye-opening and fun! God Bless You All. (I've come to the conclusion that I must find an island to live on where biking and walking are the modes of transportation ---- this is how I might keep some weight down and stay healthy. LOL!)

    Are you kidding Jack...that was a spectacular time! I will definitely put this place on my bucket list. I'm an avid gardener but I'm not sure if I want Jessica's job or Dray's job more than gardening. Loved this video. Well put together and awesome people for sure. Thank you so very much. Wouldn't mind another tropical video either.

    Mackinac Island is so Awesome....It is just like history frozen in time....My grandmother lived in Grand Rapids and took me in 1979 to the island when I was in the 9th grade and lived in Kansas City, MO. I have never forgotten it...The Grand Hotel is GRAND!!

  • @josepeka1189

  • @janicebrowningaquino792
    @janicebrowningaquino792 Před 3 lety +2

    That was GREAT Jack!! I have missed visiting my favorite beaches here in Seacoast NH for many months so it was wonderful to see the water!HOWEVER, I DID make it to Long Sands Beach (near the Nubble)in Maine on my birthday in December-had it pretty much to myself-it lifted my spirits. As did this video, meeting some of those critical people who make the Island run! Thanks for the respite from the January doldrums and the bike ride. It may be my namesake month in a way, but it has NEVER been my favorite month! God Bless and stay well, your crews, your family, and yourself! Jan A.

    This video was so creatively produced! I’m a native Michigander as well as frequent tourist of the island. This video was was such a cool display of the intricate workings on the island from the
    people, to the horses! I loved seeing the
    different people interviewed. Everyone
    looked genuinely happy with their jobs. I
    can’t wait to go back next summer with my son! What a magnificent place!!

    Fabulous video Jack. I got my first taste of Mackinac Is.when the movie Somewhere In Time came out - many years ago and knew I wanted to visit there someday. I’m 79 now and realize it’s unlikely I will ever make it so I am thrilled that today we have access to videos like this one. Thank you.
