ℹ️About the episode:
Mackinac Island has secured a spot on our infamous "Top 5" best destinations since the start of KYD. As Trish says in the video, "there's no place quite like Mackinac Island."
This video is a longer format so we can include the "Mackinac Must Haves" and share some of the hidden gems off the beaten path.
If you're not looking for the typical touristy visit, here are some things you can do off the beaten path:
1. Woods Restaurant: Enjoy a bowl and drink at the pub.
2. Arch Rock: Natural limestone formation overlooking Lake Huron
3. The Mission Point lawn: Relax on the adirondack chairs and enjoy the view
4. Fort Holmes: Ride bikes to Fort Holmes to get a 180-degree view of the island
5. Enjoy fried pickles and milkshakes at Cannonball Inn & Catering near Brittish Landing
6. If you're looking for a nice dinner out for two, check out the Island House, but be sure to make reservations. *Not an ad

What a beautiful testimony by that veteran, I'm grateful that he found out he is not alone, God is always near, his life has purpose
Oh yes thank you for reminding me I was going to say thank you for sharing his story and if he gets on here at all thank you for raising awareness to this epidemic. My cousin, my mom's nephew was a veteran of the Iraq war and he survived to make it back to the states but lost his life to suicide 2 years ago.
I have been blessed and given a very important purpose
Wasn't expecting that, got me all bleary eyed, listening to Dan talking about his project. I'm a veteran that has had treatment for PTSD. Lost numerous friends and colleagues through enemy action but sadly also lost too many others through depression and suicide. I think the level of awareness generally is increasing and the hope is that reducing the barriers that make it an uncomfortable subject allows those suffering to more freely find someone to talk to, for them to be heard, and get the help they need.
Dan, well done for the work you are doing and I wish you the greatest success, and continued peace in your life too.
Thank you and thank you for your service 🙏
Ride with Dan USA - Daniel Hurd from one fellow officer to another, keep strong brother.
@@SeanHendy I appreciate it but I cant take the credit of being an officer in the service. Just the nickname since I was in, enlist all the way. E5
Ride with Dan USA - Daniel Hurd well, it’s a great nickname to have from a great character and what Gary Sinise has done for the community is nothing short of extraordinary. Regardless of rank, sentiment still stands, from one brother in arms to another.
This was one of my favs so far...love the Coopers too guys! Thank you for including the gentleman who served in the Navy and is riding his bike for suicide awareness! It was wonderful.
Watching and listening to Lt. Dan brought tears to my eyes with his genuine passion for humanity.
Best of luck with Keeping Your Daydream !!!
Thank you I love people and want us all to fight to find our purpose.
@@ridewithdanusa Fellow Veteran Thank You for Your Service Sir !
@@bobshaw4063 thank you sir for your service as well.
OPAAT. Truly awesome. I rarely comment on CZcams, but I needed to express my gratitude to him as a currently serving veteran. Fantastic thing he's doing.
P.S. Sundays wouldn't be the same without KYD. You have inspired my near future RV life!
Thanks Marshall!
Thank you for your service. ridewithdanusa.com
We road our first tandem bicycle on Mackinaw Island. 10 years later we purchased a tandem that we LOVE! It is so much fun to ride on. We’ve been married for 43 years - I guess it takes a few years to have that communication without words! Loved hearing about the guy - Ride with Dan USA. That was a great story and glad he found Jesus on the bike.
I saw this veteran in Falls State Park, Sioux Falls, Sd. Was going to ask him his story but people were around him. Wow!
Mackinaw Island is our favorite! If you go again Mill creek campground is the BEST!! It is located in Mackinaw city it has awesome brige views and the starline ferry will pick you up and bring you back.
So glad you all were able to experience one of Michigan's finest.
Monique Gar agreed, we stayed there a couple years ago and our camp spot was right on the water with that view.
Thank you for the memories.. I am 56 years old and was on Mackinac Island 43 years ago 1976🇺🇸. I remember it like it was yesterday. Especially hearing the horses at night outside our hotel room.
One of your best videos. A Veteran Survivor !! Great times with family and great friends in such a beautiful place!
You certainly have a wonderful life and friends twho enhance it even more. I enjoyed this footage so much and all the things the average tourist might not see. The Veteran is an inspiration and God Bless him. Many thanks and I am already anticipating next Sunday!
First time seeing your channel and new subbie. I was born and raised in Michigan. Parents had a 2nd home on a lake. Moved out of state when I was 18 and many, many years later I am wanting to move back to MI one day.. I really miss it. Such fond memories of taking the ferry boat to Mackinaw island, eating fudge, the Grand Hotel etc. People are so nice and friendly in Michigan. So cool to include that guy for the suicide awareness. Praise God for his journey. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Ridewithdanusa.com
Life is just so much more fulfilling with great friends.
0:53. So cool meeting you both and Charlie. Can’t believe we made the episode.
Great to meet you too!
The more you show footage of Michigan, the more I want to visit that state. Wow, just wow.
Pure Michigan
One of the best videos ever. I love Mackinac Island and I have such great memories from our visit there in the spring of 1982. The island is famous for it’s lilacs. They were in full bloom when we were there. Not only were they beautiful, but the whole island smelled like lilacs. Thank you as always for sharing your experiences with us, Paul E Dulin from Texas.
The Lilac Festival is so beautiful! The parade is even more awesome, especially when the ship in the Budweiser Clydesdales.
The lilac trees were spectacular in full bloom, but the trillium is even more beautiful.
Boy I tell yah, every time I watch your videos I get comfortable and before you know it, its over and I forget where i'm at - THEN I gotta think oh yeah, i'm still in Africa. Great video ! Good job Charlie!
So glad you guys went to Mackinac 🏝️
We have been to a lot of islands but this is our favorite!
It really is unlike anyplace else in the United States. Love it there!
Charlie has got to be the most chill puppy ever!
"There's water underneath just about every bridge I've set my feet on. So, I like to give the benefit of doubt to those whom I just cant get a read on..." 🎶
Awesome philosophy, awesome video, awesome people!
Thanks!
Having a full circle moment; for the last 12+ years, we have camped in Mackinac @ Mill Creek Campground. Most of those years, we stayed in a cabin. Its hard to be around all of of those rigs for so long without jumping in and buying one for yourself. It was in the search for our first travel trailer that I stumbled onto your channel. Ultimately, you have cost me around $70k so far, but the memories with our girls are priceless and I’m madly in love with my F250, so I’m not even mad about it! I can’t wait for the U.P. video, its by far my favorite place to be any time of the year. You will have to come back sometime to see it in the fall!
My wife and I went to the island way back when we were on Annual Training with the Ohio National Guard. It was an amazing experience going through the Hotel after watching the movie about 6 times first, but we didn't get to see too much because of our limited time for the weekend. However, after watching this video we want to go back and actually see the island from a much different perspective like you all did with your friends. We've been wanting to get an RV for more than 15 years and are finally taking the plunge and getting ready to do this full time for at least a year (or longer) starting next April. We went to Elkhart, IN earlier this week and put a deposit on a 42 foot rig built by LUXE and, because of your videos and with additional input from BTBRV we purchased a 2019 Ford F-450 Limited yesterday. We are looking forward to experiencing a new lifestyle and to get the opportunity to visit sites we've only heard about, or had very limited time to explore. Have a great and safe journey on your travels to your next destinations. BTW: we also have relatives who live in New Haven, MI and that's one of our stops next year. Any recommendations on traveling up that way would be appreciated.
We have been to over 41 states... saving this one for next summer & we are so looking forward to this state on our adventures! Great video♡
It's so cool to see you here, enjoying our beautiful state!👋❤👋
There are probably three PBS travel or sport Michigan shows. The tour you gave of Mackinac was among the best. You have really been great ambassadors for my state. Your production values are incredible.
We fly. And, your friend is right, flying over the bridge and circling the island to land is incredible. And, you’re spot on about the chill factor of no cars no phones.
Thank you for great entertainment.
Took my Texan wife up there a few years ago and she was so awed by it all. I grew up in Pellston and we went up there every summer. Rode the bikes around the island. Such awesome memories of that place, the smells and the sights. If you have never gone please, don't miss any opportunity you have to go! It will be some of the best memories you can make.
Dan really touched my heart!!!! Thank you including this segment on the episode!
"Plus, I like backing." In the off season Marc can offer his amazing driving skills in a trailering course :).
My wife and I did the tandem bikes on Mackinac Island once. We will never do it again. We also rented our own horse and carriage. We aren't horse people. That is another thing I'll probably never do again but I sure do love the island. Biking around that place is just so much fun and the ride along the water is just beautiful
MI was probably one of our best spots when we traveled around Michigan one summer. Battle Creek balloon fest, Traverse City strawberry festival, all the light houses, UP boat trip. So many wonderful memories. Thanks for making the video long enough to really capture the moments. 👍
I am really glad you shared "Ride with Dan USA" that is inspiring and so positive to hear that there are good things that come from pain. Thanks for sharing!
Lieutenant Dan, almost a modern day Forest Gump mission. Poetic! Amazing story, and also sad this is the first I heard of it. In a time all we hear about is our corrupt government and president, we miss amazing stories like this. Everyone needs to submit this story and website to your local media.
I dont care if I have said this too many times already. But WOW! Your videos and editing are top notch. There must/will be an award, and you will have one displayed in your RV for sure!
Thanks. You've been here since Season 1.
@@KeepYourDaydream Yeah so... what you tryin' to say... dont hold it against me. I know a good thing when I see it.
Peace and Hair Grease my brotha of the struggle!
"A wild pack of girls. They're a different species." The Young man has learned QUICKLY...LOL!!!
My husband and I hiked the perimeter of Mackinac Island September 2017 with our golden/collie mixed breed, fortified with sandwiches from that great grocery store in town. Wonderful deli. Then, we took a staircase up to the street behind the Grand Hotel, and hiked up to the hotel from that same road you did from the airport. Such beautiful mansions! After an ice cream cone, we took one of those tourist tours and found it to be really fun--they even allowed the dog! We agree about the Star Fleet--great service with our dog! Then we headed up to a week in a cottage in Grand Marais. We recommend the sunset cruise to see the Pictured Rocks from Lake Superior (out of Munising) as well as the 11 mile loop trail that takes you along the shoreline--absolutely gorgeous with Caribbean blue water! We also enjoyed the shipwreck museum (we went to HS with two of the Edmund Fitzgerald crewmen) in Whitefish Bay and the hike at Taquanemon (sp) Falls. We are about to take delivery of our first RV and will retire at the end of 2019, so we look forward to returning someday. Love your tips!
3:30 Caleb trolling in the back seat - priceless
Thank you for the riding with Dan link! What a great testimony.
This Michigan series is so exciting for me to watch because I went to Michigan this year aswell, and many of the same cities you did. It's cool because I get to redo my vacation by watching your videos!
That's what friendship is all about. Sharing the good times. Wonderful video, beautiful families.
Y’all have, without a doubt, the best CZcams channel.
I look forward to each new episode on Sundays.
Thanks for bringing back my childhood memories! I grew up with every summer going there. They have sailboat race that is beautiful as well watching the sails come in from the Grand Hotel is amazing!
Yes! My husband is a commercial airline pilot and we’re planning a cross country RV trip! So excited to start!
I worked on Mackinac island back in 2014 for Mackinac Island Carriage tour doing ticket sales in the morning and shuttle driving for the hotels and The Woods restaurant in evening. It was my first job after High School and I have wanted to go back ever since. The locals are so amazing and unique. There is no place like the U.P. and the island.
My husband and I are looking at converting to full time Rv living and this just made me want to do it even more!
Mackinac island is BEAUTIFUL. I took our 31 year old daughter for her 16th birthday. We traveled from INDIANA pulling a pop up camper with a friend & her 2 boys 6 & 8. WE TRAVELED as far North as Wawa Canada. We spent 5 weeks in Canada traveling & camping. THEN on the way back home we stop by Mackinac island. We took our own bikes on the ferry to the island. We stayed in a haunted bed-&-breakfast for 3 nights. It was so much fun. Yes things happened nothing bad just comforting.( This B&B has been on the travel channel) This trip was a special one my Daughter still talks about today. Just thought I'd share.. SAFE TRAVELS & GOD BLESS
I’m a Michigander and really enjoyed this video. The last time I was on the island was probably 10 years ago. I’ve been across the bridge 4 times this summer with our trailer, camping in the UP. Boondocked 4th of July week in DeTour, a week in Manistique (full hookup) in September. Can’t wait for next weeks video.
🚲🌲⛴We love Mackinac Island too. Our family took all of our bikes over on the ferry and used them as transportation while staying over a long weekend. We did the extended horse carriage tour for fun. There are 2 forts. One on the Mackinac Island, Fort Mackinac and one in Mackinaw City, Colonial Michilimackinac for anyone else who is visiting. They are both excellent. We stayed at the same place you did and it works great for families. Highly recommend everyone do a 2-3 day stay on the island. It wasn’t something we chose to do, but many people enjoy the shops in Mackinaw City. It was fun to watch your visit and definitely makes me want to return with the family. Can’t wait to see where you go in the UP! We love traveling the area. It’s such a hidden gem of the US.
Mackinac Island is an awesome place. We haven't been there in a while, your video is going to get us back. Take care and be safe.
Omg.This was such a great episode your friends are like mark and Trish, and beautiful daughters as well.
Love mackinac island ..and all the fudge shops , and arch rock, just everything, about the island , cool place to visit , the horse ----, smell is the Pits. But all in all nice place to spend time , love your post every week , have fun catch up with your post next week. Db
You have so many amazing videos but this has got to be in the Top 10! What an amazing place. It's like stepping back in time. So happy you talked to the veteran riding his bike for suicide awareness. Good job on the flying Carson!
GREAT episode. I loved how you dedicated a whole episode to one place - way more coverage of a great place and so good having your friends featured. They're naturals. :) And those teenage girls. Gorgeous. :)
Awe I was sad too when the Coopers had to fly off. I hate that feeling when it’s time for good friends to leave. Kinda feel that way at the end of each KYD episode and have to wait an entire week to see you guys again! 😕 Thank you guys for all the work and effort you put into capturing all these great shots and moments for us! Not to mention the great music and lyrics like “water under the bridge”. 👌 I promise we appreciate it more than you know!
Charlie is so Chill throughout the entire trip
Best place ever to visit! Everyone should do it at least once in life! You will not regret it!
We tried to make it this summer but ran out of time!
Definitely one of my favorite video if not my favorite. Thank you for sharing that veteran story, that was nice. The island is beautiful. And the Coopers made this vacation memorable.
i am just like that guy I had no faith in hummanity until I started my channel and everyone has been so nice and helpful that as I set off its made my faith stronger.
We all need faith in something 🙏
What a fantastic episode! We spent a month in Michigan this summer. :) SOO true about having a bike with fenders lol! Brought our bikes over with us, mine was the only one with a fender bahaha (they didn't even look or take our bike tickets btw) It was nice & sunny riding the ferry over and suddenly a storm hit while biking...and OH MY!!....AND we didn't have a hoodie or jackets :/ Bring a light water resistant hoodie, just in case! Mmm Mmm those fried pickles!... delish! Hope ya'll get to experience Tahquamenon Falls going UP from Mackinaw.
I've been going to Mackinac Island routinely since 1975. Back then, you got out of town and there wasn't much development, except the road. You could also climb out on Arch Rock.
You did a great job showing people how beautiful and special the island can be. I'm curious to know when you were there, I'm guessing Mid to late June from the looks of the flowers.
Very nice video depicting how to see Mackinaw Island! We stayed at the Chippewa Hotel! Absolutely loved the island! We DID the “touristy” carriage tour, our first day. Day 2,3,&4, we returned to those attractions that we wanted to see again. Bike rental is a must do, even at our retired age. 🙂 Waking up early is a must do. Loved watch all the island employees riding their bikes to work, and watch the ferries unload island supplies. Including horses, and hay. The city also hoses down the city streets every night. We love Michigan in the fall. Mackinaw Island is, for sure, one of our top must see destinations! Thanks again for sharing.
Hahahahaha one take Trish. Love it. What a beautiful island. I wish I was Charlie, he has it made. Safe travels guys. Cheers!!!
Charlie....one LUCKY doggie. You are blessed. BTW ..you adopted a great fam..!
I'm from Michigan and it's such a beautiful state glad you can share with everyone ❤❤❤
Love KYD videos. Caleb is a comedian. Watching this makes me want to do Michigan. Safe travels!
I’m so glad you guys got to see Michigan’s secret gem. It’s my favorite place to vacation to. It was so fun watching this and seeing you guys enjoy the island, and places I have been.
Super fun episode...sent the link to friends planning a getaway. Gorgeous location!
Meeting Lt. Dan was also great serendipity, too! What a wonderful cause!!
And I almost forgot to mention that the music selection was awesome! Cody Fry-A Little More was wonderful, but his whole album Flying is terrific!
Ridewithdanusa.com
As usual, a great video. Entertaining, fun, well cut and produced and educational. For me as a European, it is fantastic fun to follow along on the journey and have all these little pieces of facts presented to me.
Hope there will come a time when you can come over and make a trip through Europe. It would be really exciting to see it through your eyes!
I have no idea if you guys read the comments on a 2 year old video, but… I’ve been binge watching and I just had to chime in in solidarity with Trish and moving furniture! I despise it! I’ve been doing crossfit for many years so my husband assumes I can just whip furniture around and I CAN’T!!! It’s comical watching us trying to get a couch up a staircase. 🤦🏼♀️Thankfully our 2 sons are taller and bigger than me so THEY get to be the official furniture movers in this house! You guys are great and I’ve been finding joy in getting to know you via KYD. At least it feels like I know you. 😉
So happy to find your channel and wonderful family. My hubby and I sailed to the island many summers and it's been years since I returned. Once a Michigander, always a Michigander and I've been homesick for the 19 years since moving to FL. My friends from other states call it "oh holy Michigan" from all my stories. Movie "Somewhere in Time" never gets old, I watch it yearly. Lots of folks don't know about the golf course, 1st one in MI! Thanks again.
.I appreciate your decision to skip the tours! We've lived in Michigan all our lives and do the Island every other year and we always take our own tour of the Island. BUT you really need to come back and go through the Fort at your own pace. Trish being the history buff she seems to be, would love it! And for that matter, the Fort in Mackinaw City is worth it as well! I hope you saw Tahquamenon Falls both the Upper and Lower falls! The U.P. is like entering another whole country! I can't wait to see your experiences there. Love your videos!
Thank you for taking us with you ...and, yes, y'all are naturals on camera.
We grew up in Michigan and visited Mackinac every chance we got, it is magical, we camp at Tiki RV park its near the ferrys, it's a great park. Can't wait to see your tour of the UP. Your videos are the greatest.
Marc and Trisch, tandem kayaks are the same as tandem bikes, only wetter for the front guy! Thanx for the veteran piece. Safe travels!
Mackinac Island in the Spring is my yearly getaway from the metro Detroit daily grind. Glad you enjoyed our island. Cheers!
Charlie is the most laid back dog I have ever seen. The island is on my must visit list now. It looks like something we'd enjoy.
I follow some channels with great videography and production, some with inspirational content, some that allow us an honest peak at their families and personal lives, and others that provide a realistic narrative of RV life. Only yours manages to bring all of these and more together in one place, and this video may very well be my favorite KYD offering yet. I believe that every day we are given is a gift, and the way we express our gratitude is to live it to its fullest. You guys do exactly that. Thank you for this video and your inspiration.
Thanks Jim.
Love Mackinac! It's just amazing! In 24 hrs we flew (airplane), car, boat, horse and bike..can't beat that..and the sights are just breathtaking! Grew up in MI and we go back every year! Thanks for sharing❤
As a child I always said “I want to be able to travel by Land, Air and Sea”. I have been blessed and accomplished it... I got my Driver License, my Private Pilots License and my Captains License...
1:33 Have heard too many tree branch crunches from high profile RV’s contacting trees, while exiting a parking space. Valuable advice, thanks for sharing! 😊
I stayed at the Grand Hotel years ago and was at the highest point in the cupola.. what a view. Then did the 8 mile bicycle ride around the island.. it's Michigan's treasure. I think you could of added another 33 minutes to this vlog😎✌
Thank you very much for the awesome Mackinac footage, I grew up in Michigan and haven't been back in a long time, and miss it dearly. (We're in Florida) The wife and I are in the process of selling our farm and everything to be able to full time. You guys are very inspiring! I've been watching for about 3 years or so and this is my first post. Thank you for all of your hard work. Keep Your Daydream !
We LOVE MAC!! Wife and I met on the docks of the island after the Chicago to Mackinaw sailboat race... She helped me ferry the boat home and we got married 43 days later. So needless to say the Island holds a pretty special place for us. Glad you guys had fun up there!!
Not only, 'besides, I love backing', but the music you chose for that little sequence was perfect. Also, did I see Tori as a vampire bride? Of course, you didn't see her because you were a blind pilot!
I love his shirt! My husband retired from the Coast Guard after 30 years service.
Oh my WORD!! Traverse City Cherry Fudge ice cream is my favorite! Living in OKLAHOMA and your trip to MI is making hubby (born and raised in MI) and I homesick for MI. And I would die for some Mackinac Island fudge!
Oh! Trish!! You guys need to go to Traverse City and go wine touring up Old Mission Peninsula! BEST CHERRY WINES EVER! We use to drop the kids at the Grandparents, hop on our motorcycle w/trailer up there for a weekend of wine tasting. Trailer was for the case or 2 of wine. Lol
That's a beautiful journey around the Mackinac. Getting around in the RV and then hopping on to the Star Line ferry and then right onto a horse carriage must be exciting.
I have watched every video from season one and this is the best one ever.
I’ve lived in Michigan for 34 years and I’ve made it to the island twice. Yet I’ve never been around the entire island. And I’ve only ever been to the UP once, this summer I begged by bf to take me and we went to Escanaba so I could say I saw Escanaba in da moonlight lol cuz I’m a Jeff Daniels fan.
nice camera work, editing, music - thanks for bringing us along -
Yeah it was a great edit!
Mackinac Island is definitely a unique experience, being from Michigan I've traveled there by boat, plane and even snowmobile across the ice in the winter. We love taking family from out of state so they can experience such a special place.
Oh my gosh Somewhere in Time was one of my all-time favourite movies. Had no idea it was filmed on Mackinac Island. Awesome surprise!!! Love your videos!
I spent my childhood summers at a cabin in Copper Harbor Michigan. We spent time at the fort and learning about the Edmond Fitzgerald. If you make it there try the pasty its amazing!!! Oh and we would bring blueberry pancakes to "the dump" and feed the bears by cracking the windows. This was many moons ago, but left a life-long impression! Happy travels!
Alaskan Gal and her Angry Texan still watch y'all every week. You're harder to beat than my Starbucks habit. Just to get him to watch and not share on a little screen we watch through TV and Amazon Firestick. So, not that it matters but we may not comment often but we, I, HAVE to this video.
Beautiful place and love seeing the friendships. However....your focus on Dan and his OPPAT non profit and those precious moments showing him he was seen, just...I hope even just half go to his page and donate and pay attention to his mission with suicide prevention with our armed forces.
Thank you. Thanks. Gracias. Merci. Tanks.
My grandparents had a tandem bike when I was a kid and all us grandkids rode that thing constantly. I have some great memories riding that bike with my cousins.
I hated for this video to end! This is definitely on my bucket list. I'm a widow though and so I don't want to go alone. The gentleman who lives part time on the island was fascinating and I could've listened to more of his history and experience and the veteran who was working to stop suicides was very inspiring. The candy, the ice cream and the views from the bikes were wonderful. It's a shame they didn't allow drones because it would've been so fun to see the island that way too. Thanks for going and sharing!!
I grew up in northern lower MI. We used to visit friends on Mackinaw Island every summer. It is my favorite place in MI and one of my favorite places anywhere. There is a lot to do there and of course I love the horses and the relaxed pace.
We love Mackinac Island! We have done the carriage tour and rented bikes and loved both. The fort is another interesting place to go on the island. We always stay in St. Ignace when we go to the island. It is lovely!
My family has a vacation home up in northern Michigan at Crystal Mountain and we are so enjoying your trip through MI! It has to be one of the best family friendly areas ever! Thanks for sharing your good times and we love your channel and family and friends. You have us wanting to get back north from Ohio! God bless you and safe travels.
One of our favorite experiences too. Thanks for sharing
I was up in the air weather you were gonna get a thumbs up or down on this one until your friend mentioned get bikes with fenders when it rains and I was cracking up so thumbs up it is ! See ya next week.
Thanks so much...loved the video...so entertaining! Music in the video is great! And a great destination! Glad you included the vet who is pedaling for suicide prevention.
Been the island lots of times..always want to go back!
Do you guys do a checklist before you leave? We keep a checklist in Notes on my phone cause you cross out each item ...and then reuse next time! It's a must for us...so we don't break more things!!!
My husband is from Michigan and we go up all the time. We love the UP
