      Hey Kevin, I was raised in Michigan, living in Texas for the past 35 years, I've been to Mackinac Island several times, the last time was about 15 years ago, it looks like they added an addition onto the Grand Hotel since I was there last. I've always loved visiting Mackinac Island. You need to make another trip to Mackinac Island during the sailboat race from Chicago to Mackinac held each year usually in July, it would be magnificent to fly over the island as the sailboats are crossing the finish line, I've been onshore at Mackinac Island for the finish of a few races, the view form the shore is nothing less than spectacular, I can only imagine what it would look like in the air. Unfortunately this year's race was canceled.

    Today I was bouncing around UA-cam when I happened by one of your videos. What caught my eye was Jaime in the thumbnail for the video. It's not what your thinking I assure you! When I first saw Jaime I about fell out of my chair! Jaime, you are almost a carbon copy of my girlfriend Lindsey. Sadly, I lost my beloved Lindsey a little over one year ago to a sudden illness. It is amazing how much you two look and ever act alike. I know this will sound strange but watching a few of your videos today was almost like I got to see Lindsey again. I can't put into words enough how much I miss her. I don't think I will be watching anymore of your videos for obvious reasons but wanted to share with you how much you touched a stranger today and say thank you. Daniel

    Kevin, that was a great trip. Many years ago I flew into the island with a friend in his Bonanza. He lived in Michigan and recommended it very highly. Was a trip to remember. No motorized vehicles except for the excavating ones working on the island. The kids must realize how fortunate they are to have opportunities that most do not have.

    Loved it! We used to go to Douglas Lake in the late 50's and early 60's and my parents knew someone who flew into Pellston to meet us there. They would buzz us on the beach. Over a few summers we watched them build the bridge. Brings back old times! :-)

    The wife and I flew up there a couple of years ago. Our intentions were to land on the island but strong cross winds were not favorable at all so we went into Pellston where Rwy 32 was a much better option that day. There was a shuttle bus to the ferry so we got to the island just fine. I'll show my wife your video showing how we were supposed get there. Thanks for posting!

  • @kimmercer7000

    When I first stumbled on your channel I looked for a Mackinac Island trip. Well I’m glad you finally visited a place I call my favorite starting place. From 1965 to 1978 we traveled to Mac by boat from Grose Ille. We spent 4 to 6 weeks traveling to a different destination in the norther lakes each summer. Mac was always considered our starting place. even when we traveled four days to get there from grose ille. When we would get there we all considered it "Vacation just started". Never been on a ferry but did fly out then in for a quick trip around the straits "uncles push-pull". My #1 bucket list item; ride a snow mobile there on the Mac-Ice bridge. Then return and repeat the trip (exact GPS) on my wave-ride. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the years. PS: two motorized vehicles on the island in the 70s were "ambulance" and "fire truck". snowmobiles allowed in the winter. great channel folks

    We've done that trip a couple times, albeit in a 172, years ago but from KMDW (and yes, stopped for gas in Pellston too.) It's amazing how some things have not changed. The Grand Hotel, the "taxis", the fudge shops. Great to reminisce. Thanks for sharing.

    I grew up on Mackinac Island (pronounced Mack-i-naw) and got my PPL there in the 1970s, working with a CFI from nearby Cheboygan, who would fly over to pick me up for every lesson. The airport was a lot different in those days, including no lights on the field, but it was always a busy place. In June, July, and August, it wasn't uncommon to be on a ten-mile final behind five or six other landing planes.

    Did touch and go's while stationed in the UP at Kincheloe AFB about 40 miles north of St Ignace on the northern end of the "Big" Bridge! On weekends when I wasn't on call at the USAF Hospital I tried to spend most summer weekends on the Island! One of the only bright spots of being stationed 20 miles south of the Canadian border! Took the family there a couple of times, last time 2017. Loved it!

      That was with one 5 minute stop and going over the speed limit the whole time, often well over.

    Mackinac Island was a favorite place for my wife and I. We stayed on the island (as opposed to staying in Mackinaw City or St. Ignace and taking the ferry across every day). After the last ferry leaves the place gets really peaceful. There ARE a few vehicles on the island, all official. There’s police, ambulance, fire equipment, and utility vehicles. I’ve only seen them at night. They hide them pretty well.

We often like to take a break from biking at the east end of runway 26 and watch the planes landing low overhead. Looked like there were a few people there when you were on final. 🙂 It was so cool seeing you guys enjoy some of our favorite spots! The only weird thing was how few people were there. Usually it's crawling with people. Great video!

    Growing up near the lake - 'lake affect' snow happened within 20 or so miles of the lake. The lake affects weather due to the temp change. Leaned early on - always bring a jacket / sweat shirt even during the summer. Driving around the south end - you can run into snow storms from this winter phenomenon. Drove around Chicago - no snow - hit Gary and light snow - head more east and was like 6 to 8 inches and near white out. Lake Superior is a lot colder yet. Take care - glad you had a great time visiting the island.
