    Thank you. 🎉 That was a pretty ride. The horse & buggy was real nice also. Aw wow that was so awesome how it landed on your hand like that. I'd never seen one do that before. Very cool. Thank you for sharing this with me/us. I can't believe how many different types there where. Yeah probably is huge $$ in those carriages running all day every day. lol 🤑. Only in my dreams. Ah, I like to dream. Thanks again. Nice work.

    We loved our time on Mackinac Island and stayed at the same KOA when we were there. We had some great food over on the island and bought fudge from each of the fudge shops on the island. After watching this I think we may have to go back!

    We live just south of “the bridge”. I always would just meditate when we drove our class an over to the U.P. I stayed at that campground (not sure it was a koa then) in 1971. Our parents took us north (from Detroit area). We did a circle trip, camping around the U.P. In a tent camper. Loved it.

    We must have just missed you! We were there on July 13, 2024. We camped at Brevoort Lake Campground and traveled to the island from St. Ignace. Wish we had taken the tour also. We did bike the entire perimeter (about 8 miles).

    • @AllAboutTheBanks

    I haven’t been to the Island in 45 years , is it still all just bicycle rentals to get around to see the Island , I’ve got a friend that was the head butcher at the Grand Motel , they cut up huge amounts of meat every single day , and the people that worked there came from everywhere , not just America , seasonal workers
