The reason we
are staying in St. Ignace is to visit the famed Mackinac Island. However, when
we woke up, it was thundering, lightening, and pouring (as it had been since around
2am, and we knew the time since that’s when Zoey started panting and trembling in
our bed). A look at the weather forecast
was that this would continue most of the day. Okay, so onto Plan B – drive around
and see the U.P.
We headed
along Route 2 west, a “dotted” road on the State of Michigan map, meaning a
scenic road. Yup, there were a few views on Lake Michigan, but really, not
much, especially in comparison to the plethora of mosquitos! We eventually found
ourselves at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge - home to numerous waterfowl.
We took the seven mile drive (it was free) and saw a few interesting things, but nothing
spectacular. By this time, the skies
were a beautiful blue, clear and open – what happened to the rain? The storms?
The reason we did not go bike the perimeter of Mackinac Island? Get some Mackinac
Fudge?? Grrrr!!!!!
It was too
late (for us) to head over to the island by the time we got back to St. Ignace,
so Mack Island will have to wait for another time. Lesson learned – never believe
the weather forecast. :-)
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
