    “He has control issues” 😂 You had me cracking up on this video with all the 💩 alerts. You’re right, people don’t talk about that enough in reviews. I was not prepared for that smell.

    Glad the chicken has a responsibility. Yes. Horses are the main mode of transportation on the island, and horses poop! Glad you did the bicycle trip. Lots to see on that route. (besides poop) LOL! Great advice to use the map, not the app. OH NOOO! How sad that you lost the rest of the footage. We feel your pain in this. UGGHH. Glad you mostly enjoyed the adventure. - Jim & Michelle

    Mackinaw Island is a dream location for me. Can’t wait until we get to go. Didn’t even think about the smell. 😂. Good tip about the bike fenders. Y’all saw some great sites. Too bad Joel couldn’t do the heights at the arch. Bill likes Joel’s app. 😂😂No, it’s not the way you want to get out of the hotel. Sorry for your lost footage. Looks like an amazing day.

    You are brave souls rolling with OTA radio stations, I would go nuts having to keep searching. We have used Sirius for over 20 years now. PS a little birdy told me you took a hike on the Popo Agie Trail recently. 8) Joel you did great on the bridge, but man I could tell that grating was really messing with the drivability of the RV. It almost looked like you were holding your breath the entire time. 8)

    Went to St. Ignace and Mac island during covid times. We enjoyed it enough we plan to go back sometime when everything is open so we can get the full experience. I will agree with Joel, fighting the groves on the bridge plates was not enjoyable, and I can only imagine what it would be like towing across it. Mac island really is a unique place and a slice of history.

    Fun video guys! Haha Joel, love ve your “app” map! We listen to Sirius almost the entire time. We loved our day there, but unfortunately it was cut short due to Pam having to go to their ER on the island. Guess we need to go back. We have to agree, it’s pretty stinky, but we didn’t mind.

    We did Mackinac Island last year and loved it. Since you were in the center lane on the Mighty Mac you got to experience the singing bridge as we were refer to it. And yes, that center lane does like to push you around a bit.
    Mackinaw Mill Creek was a great campground!! We stayed there as well and had a lovely view of the bridge. Totally recommend that campground!
    Good choice on the bikes with fenders. The one piece of advice we got from the waiter at lunch was... "Get the bikes with fenders, and the puddles are not water!!!"
    We really loved Mackinac Island and it was fun reliving a few of the places we saw while watching your video. But the biggest questions is... What flavor fudge did ya get? Safe travels kids!!
