Please, please don't ever, ever change your theme music. When I hear it, it's like something old and familiar and comforting !!!! Especially with all that is going on, all the changes, and all that is coming. Even your voice is addictive. Love your videos. Actually if I remember correctly you and Less Junk were my two first You Tube followings. Your like old friends !!!! Stay safe and as Roy would say, Happy Trails To You !!!
Mackinac Bridge is one of the most beautiful, from it's design to the scenery.
Beautiful land. Oh my.
One of my favorite places on earth. Nothing like the bridge and the Island. Thanks for visiting it
Thanks Russ! The grates on the bridge allows airflow to prevent dangerous oscillations of the deck due to wind.
Was wondering about that thanks sir! Yeah look at the video of the old Tacoma Narrows bridge!

Yes-
"Galloping Gertie!"
As a Michigander transplanted to Nevada, I'm used to you driving all over the southwest, showing me new places I haven't been to yet. It is so wild to see you discovering places that I've been to in northern Michigan hundreds of times.
Great trip Russ!
Wow Russ,
To bad you didn't have time to visit the Soo locks, Tahquamenon Falls and the many water falls around Munising. The UP is remote and very nice place to visit. The best of all not many people.
I am from Rudyard!!! I miss it soooooo much! I Love the Soo! You need to visit the Soo or Sugar Island
We Love RVerTV - Best TV On UA-cam. Thank you Russ.
Love all the greenery and water!! littie scary on bridge... beautiful scenery 👌 ! Thanks.
Izzard family of Cedarville, MI. Use to be all log cabin resorts, hunting and fishing 🎣 to the right of the bridge. My childhood.
I live in Ohio. Been going to the U.P. for 60 years. Love that bridge.
I was born and raised in upper Michigan! I have crossed the big Mack millions of time..if you cross US2 to M 117 then north to M 28 you will go through the big town of Engadine! M 28 to the west will take you toward copper country!
Three friends and me crossed that bridge coming south on motorcycles.. Early morning, raining and wind blowing. Had to drive on the grated side because the paved side was closed.I truly enjoyed the riding to and from Copper Harbor but crossing the bridge in the wind and rain on a motorcycle will get your attention FAST.
Welcome to the UP. I think you will really enjoy it. It's totally different than the Lower Pensisula. The bridge is an engineering feat. If you are afraid to drive over it they're drivers that will you drive you over it.
What a wonderful video of a beautiful, peaceful part of the USA. I will be going up there in September.
Dearly love the aerial views reflecting the beauty of Michigan's Coast. Really nice visitor center.
👍👍😎✌️🤟 Loved that bridge, ever since we crossed her on our honeymoon in late June 1990. Wanted to go back ever since.
I didn't know how wonderful that part of this Grate Country is ! thank Russ
Love my state. Thanks for showing us off. St. Ignace is cool town right on the up side of the bridge.
Whitefish is delicious. Muldoon's pasties are a must in Munising. Enjoy Copper Harbor, its beautiful!
The bridge was so great. The engineering boggles my mind.
Awesome camera work. Be safe.
This trip is beautiful! You are doing a great job Russ! And you’re in my backyard. Primarily the folks on the east and west coast don’t know WE exist! Now we do…”You don’t have Big Sur! “ On the third coast…but we have pictured rocks, and Kitchitkippe Springs, and miles of beautiful beaches….and get ready: Da Yoopers!! Notice how undeveloped much of the shoreline is. Thank you!!
Welcome to the U.P.! You got a subscriber with this trip. Have a good one!
Lower Michigan videos were pretty awesome. Looking forward to wherever your journey takes you. Thanks Russ.
Yeah I remember it like it was yesterday. We only went across and back, I want to explore the UP.
hey, I enjoyed your video! First time I've seen one by you---I've crossed the Bridge many times (I'm from Ohio but had family in da U.P. and a school year up in Marquette) and it was really fun to relive the memories. Thanks!
Leaving Monday for an RV site in Petoskey, MI as a base camp. Visiting lighthouses from Traverse City to Mackinac City. Going over to Mackinac Island also within the week. Thanks for your videos. Love them all. Family and I have also RVd and visited Copper Harbor a few years ago. Eager to go back and spend more time there in the fall.
You might find TC a bit pricey and a big trourist trap.
Thanks Russ!!! Love those U. P. roads and shores. Cool to have the dessert guy up here. We're south Duluth people.
Pete I love to stay in DuLuth on my way to or from the Gunflint Trail. Nice place to camp just across the lift bridge close enough so I can walk to Canal Park.
WOW a great ride across the bridge and the UP. Thanks Russ
that's a bucket list bridge
Yes, it's so worth it!
My wife and i drove over it in our RV last year.. and the height of bridge and the buzz under the tires was a lot of fun plus being able to see mackinac island 1derful experience
That bridge is beautiful! Thanks.
Crossing the bridge is a memorable experience, I grew up in Michigan and never went across the bridge until last year. I just had to do it on my motorcycle. You and me paid the same price; two axles, $4. Did you notice that big rig with 10 axles? Only in Michigan.
Mackinaw is a huge bridge for $4. Sanibel island bridge in florida, much smaller and its $6 for two axles, $3 per additonal axle.
Maybe they give discounts to those centipedes! :)
You nailed it! Munising was the correct way to say it and you call the people who life here Yoopers we like it
Thank you for such detailed camera footage. My family are all in the UP and I visit as often a possible....your excellent video brings back many memories.
The spelling of the bridge is MackinaC, like the island. MackinaW City is spelled with a 'w'.
I grew up in Michigan and never knew that. It wasn’t until my late 60’s that I saw the different spelling.
Spectacular sights!! Thank you Russ!
Great video Russ, as others have said good to see you up in this area since we're so used to seeing your Western sojourns! Kind of backtracking as just finished watching your latest from Utah! Take care and safe travels...!
I cant to go on vacation here the 16th of June with my family Russ. We’re from Minnesota . Thanks for always entertaining us with your adventures..
The bridge is 4.995 miles long. So slightly under 5 miles. You keep saying 4 miles. It remains the longest suspension bridge between anchorages (deck being suspended by cable) in the Western Hemisphere.
🌞😎🌞 THANK YOU for filming the mighty Makinac Bridge 😊 I was just a kid the last time my family crossed. Many, many yrs ago. I'm living in AZ now and you're right it's 🔥🔥🔥
The boat tour is well worth it, also lots of water falls across the UP.
Doing basically the reverse trip in September. From Colorado to NE, IA, MN, WI,UP, MI and IN them home. Thanks for giving me ideas.
Who would of thought back in 1969 when I sailed under that Bridge on a small freighter from Europe on the way to Milwaukee to load Beef. That today I would be watching your videos on small town USA Mackinaw. Would never of known what the place looked like.
Yo Russ, my wife is related to the House family that owns the Centennial Cranberry Farm in Whitefish Point. More ships have gone down at Whitefish point than any other part of Lake Superior. You are right about Michigan having so much history. I had Family in Copper Harbor. I am a Troll ( a Michigan resident living below (south of Mackinac Bridge) the bridge. But I love my State And enjoy learning its history.
Hey russ, at 23:40 you can see MUNISING high school on the waters of lake superior how awesome, thanks russ !
Wow! I didn't want this video to stop!!! You get so excited!! It's great!! Stay safe!!
Birds singing right off the bat. Yea!! Then the bridge. Not me. Then a sign about fishing, Trout, bass, and smoked ice. Yikes!! wonder what that's about:)? Great video. Please excuse my sense of humor:) Gotta love it. Looking forward to heading west. Gettin out of the flatlands.
Wow that bridge is amazing and the view of the Great Lake thanks for taking us along enjoyed the ride great video!!
Hello Russ, your bringing back memories of my trip across the Mighty Mac and to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We explored the Soo Locks, Whitefish Point Light Station and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, the beautiful waterfalls at Tahquamenon State Park, Pictured Rocks Miners Castle, and the scenic drive on 28 along Lake Superior to Marquette. We continued all the way to Duluth, MN and drove scenic Hwy 61 along the northern Shore of Lake Superior to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park...what a beautiful spot with the lighthouse WAY above the Lake...maybe just maybe you will check it out when you get to Duluth. Great video Russ👍👍👍👍.
I've crossed it in the winter right after a snow storm. Kinda freaked me out but I'm still here to tell the story. Been over it a couple more times since then. Pretty cool.
This really made me miss home I live in Las Vegas but I lived in Michigan before I came out here and I'm from Northwest Wisconsin so thank you for sharing Michigan by the way new subscriber nice to meet you
Wonderful videos…..thank you!
Great drone footage Russ! And, yes, the Whitefish dinners are the best ever!!!
Great video Russ, another informative and scenic journey. Thanks for sharing.
And for those of you that don't know, telling people on April fools that the Mackinaw bridge swings to Mackinaw island every 4 hours is pretty much a staple in Northern Michigan.
Mackinac
love it
Nice and beautiful places njoy and have a nice journey sir❤❤❤👌👌👌👍👍👍
Such great video! So nice to see! Thank you!
There's a bridge museum in Mackinaw City. I believe its up above a bar/restaurant. Also Pictured Rocks is a must see! You should have stopped!! Also should have stopped for a Pastie at Muldoons in Munising! You can't go the the U.P. and not have a Pastie!!
went that way last fall and every thing was closed and for sale glad that the parks and welcome centers back open even had the road sides roped off
You can't beat smoked whitefish.
Like your drone shots of the bridge.
Munising is so beautiful..and you are doing great! Love the videos and views.. excellent!!
I liked riding over it on a motorcycle. Looking down through the grates can be a bit spooky. One time there was a big ship underneath as I looked down.
Thank You For Sharing ❤️
Russ, your content is so wholesome and enjoyable. Never change buddy!
good stuff man !!! I lived in Calumet for a few years.. I went to school at Sumi College--- it is a dif name now I think... I also helped build a baseball field in Mohawk
Eating at Clyde's is a must for everyone that visits the UP.
Nice video...I have been over the bridge several times over the years...Drone footage was cool too.
Another great video. Thank you .
You might want to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge -
22 miles.....
Done US Highway One from Florida up into New England.
Thanks for the ride
Your right on with that drone!
Excellent video!
Make sure you stop for a "pasty"!
Gorgeous! Definitely need to head up to visit it myself.
Oh, sure, you go to the U,P, and it's warm and sunny with little wind. I've lived in
Michigan for a half century and every single time I've been to the UP it's rained, oh boy, does it rain. unless it's snowing,
on the fourth of July!!
I noticed the tankers and van trucks have multiple wheels on their trailers. Now I’m very curious with that. Nice scenery Russ. You know the best places to take us on vacation! Thanks
Trucks are allowed to carry up to 164.000lbs in Michigan. They spread that weight across all those axles. No other state allows that much weight. Federal roads are limited to around 80,000lbs
@@smileyzr2 thank you for the information. I never saw that many wheels on a regular length truck. I’ve seen more on extra wide and heavy weight loads like wind turbine parts Never on a regular van trailer or a tanker.
@@smileyzr2 They cannot "carry" that much weight. Those are maximum gross weights, of the truck+trailer+cargo. I am familiar with the steel hauling 8 axle truck trailers in Mich. They can haul about 100,000 lbs of cargo. That is a 8 axle trailer that he passes at the 4:49 mark. I don't know what he would be hauling in that van type of trailer, but its not a steel hauler.
Another great video! I really enjoy your videos! It is a joy to follow along.
They are always, always working on the Mac. I, personally would never cross it in the winter.
In 1989 one terrible and highly publicized incident, Leslie Ann Pluhar came to a stop in her '87 blue Yugo on the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan, attempting to wait out high winds, when a 55-mph gust blew her car over the edge. She did not survive the accident.
There is a different story in the Chicago Tribune. "Witnesses reported seeing a small blue car swerve out of control into oncoming traffic, veer back again and slam head on into the curb railing. The car then skidded along an outer railing for about 40 feet before striking a vertical suspension cable and flipping over the side."
👍👍 Huge lake, all the way out to the horizon. Nice!
Glad you enjoyed crossing the Big Mac.
I like your music. Really goes with the trip!
I was raised in Michigan it's a pretty safe Bridge only I think two people passed away working on it
Yeah I don’t need to imagine the winter. I’ve crossed it several times in the winter, at times when only 1 lane (2 both ways) was open and the wind was blowing hard.
I've never been in the UP and really enjoying seeing it with you.
You missed the Munising Vister's center ......... It was next door to the Hardees Restaurant in the beginning of the town, also If your did not know there are 17 different Water falls in Munising I think all but 2 are free with your state park sticker! and not far from town you can view a lot of Picture rocks in some parks as well (also free with state park pass) lots to see in that town! H58 is a newer road as well that is a great ride to grand Marais and if your up for something extra when your on the way to copper harbor check out the Quincy mine
I was going to say that ship could have my husband, daughter, son in law or nephew on it. But it isn't the right color. Michigan is a gorgeous state, with so much to see and do.
....A few years ago a Bronco went over the edge of the Big Bridge and down onto the ice, which was so thick the Bronco never went through. and a woman driving a Yugo was blown right off by high winds..........And you never visited Mackinac Island ? ...Ferry from St. Ignace....(I shouldn't have told you).........Travelled Hwy 2 in 1958 moving west, back into Canada through North Dakota into Saskatchewan....
Missed lots of cool stuff in Sault St Marie.
I was born there
Surprised that you didn't head up to Sault Saint Marie & then to Whitefish Point!
Just as I get convinced I could drive across the bridge you make me have my doubts hahaha I love your humor. I really enjoy your videos. I have seen a lot of places traveling with you on videos. That is a beautiful view. I read where a lot of the dead trees are due to invasive beetles. It happened in the Smoky Mountains also..
Keep your eyes on the road Russ!
Rats I was hoping you would go through Sault Ste Marie. I was born there and maybe two miles from Canada a long time ago. I’ve enjoyed the Michigan scenery.
Scenic area, Russ, thanks. You missed some great coffee at McDonald's!!
Michigan has more shoreline than any other state in the union except Alaska. They used to have the most boat registrations in the country too. Don't know if that is still true. And you were right about the area of the state. I had roommate in college (Alma) that lived in the western UP and it took him longer to get home than it did for some fellow students that lived in New York state. It takes longer to drive from one end of the state (Western UP to near Toledo on the boarder) than it takes to drive across the longest part of Texas. Just some fun facts to know--at least I think they're facts....
I cannot believe how many axles were on that truck you passed on the downward side of the bridge. I counted 11.... Our one toll road in Colorado charges per axle :-) yikes.
They will charged that rig $4 per axle to cross bridge, same price no matter the vehicle just charge per axle
I did the M.C. to Copper in one day once never again. I was so exhausted driving it myself.
I want to see this place now!
