Hi, I’m from Michigan and I just have to tell you I love crossing the Mackinac bridge! We cross it going both ways at least four times a year and maybe more. We go all the way from southeast Michigan near the Ohio border all the way up to the Iron Mountain area which is near the Wisconsin border. My favorite part of the trip is crossing the bridge. My uncle and his sons help build that bridge. They were crane operators. There are some of us who absolutely love crossing the bridge and I have since I was a little girl and now I’m an old lady lol.

@judystreich7333 Месяц назад

I attended the Ironworkers and Bridge 50th Anniversary celebration, so interesting. The original Ironworkers who worked building the bridge were seated on a stage in a large tent and shared their stories, it was awesome. My finger was sore from pressing the record button on my camera for two hours. What a day!

@Bretski126 Месяц назад

I used to sell novelties in the UP. Crossed the bridge so many times, I just would cross and not remember.

@judystreich7333 2 месяца назад

My favorite place to spend a week. The Locks, Clyde’s drive in, Brimley. Always something to do. Always fun to hear remarks from visitors who have never seen it before. You should of driven down along the river, you missed so many interesting sites. The tower, the ship, Antlers, and most of all Rotary Park. There’s no car ferry to Mackinac Island, no cars on the island allowed.

You should visit, there are so many things to see. 😊 After you cross the mighty Bridge, keep driving North. It's a town called Paradise. It's near where the Edmond Fitzgerald Ship went down. White Fish Bay.😢 You can also go see the Taquaminon falls. Upper and lower falls.

I live in Harrisville mi I go to the Sault locks alot , I use to work as a deck hand on the freighter ships it was a unique life on their 30 to 90 days aboard at 1 time, thank you for visiting our state and sharing some of our beautiful sites

@4cindybabe 2 месяца назад

I was very thrilled Russ to watch this delightful U.P. video since it's reminders of all the exact sites and places I grew up with plus took my Aussie husband (now deceased) in 2014. We sat on a bench in an iron fenced park near the older original stone Soo Locks towers and watched a freighter go through the locks after eating famous tasty U.P. pasties for lunch across the street. When you drove into St. Ignace looking for a decent spot to park your van, you just so happened to turn around in front of the Driftwood Motel parking lot where we had lodged three nights. We took the passenger ferry across the road to Mackinac Island for the day. We ate at different local restaurants in town who served delicious food, especially the famous whitefish. You really missed out if you didn't have that plus some pasties (past- tees) which are various meat pies. Originally from MI and living there 20+ years before leaving, I camped with my family in two different travel trailers in many of the state parks all over in both the U.P. and L.P. and can show you where on my handy left hand map all Michiganders naturally use. A lot has definitely changed in appearance since my last visit there, even over the past ten years. Indian Village in St. Ignace hasn't as I went there even as a toddler and some things really hadn't changed. Mackinac Fudge is the ultimate, another big miss if you opted not buying some. People traveling there or to Mackinaw City are aptly called Fudgies. You were very wise to spend the night in St. Ignace before crossing over the Big Mac bridge because it's expensive in Mackinaw City. I always preferred lodging in St. Ignace. It's very difficult now for me to want to return back to these destinations because of memories of my past. I'm the last of the Mohicans in my family and with the loss of my husband a few years ago, I simply can't go back now. I truly miss the Great Lakes the most in MI, but not so much the rest. However, I can vouch the state parks are absolutely the best of all the states I've ever camped in. There's plenty of other places to travel to in our wonderful 50 states. I've been in 42 personally, but thanks to your wonderful travelogues, I've been able to see the rest of the states from my comfortable LR recliner chair. However, I still wish to view the remainder of them in person. Everywhere one travels, you always stumble onto something interesting no matter what. History and scenic sites always capture my heart. Beauty can be found everywhere without searching for it. I love America 🇺🇲 as a Patriot. 😉

Thanks for showing off my home state of Michigan. The Soo locks are an feat of engineering thats operated and maintained by the Army Corp of Engineers. They average between 7 to 10,000 cargo ships from March to December.

@fshrmn100 12 дней назад

You were right the first time. The freighters that travel the Great Lakes are called, Boats. Any vessel that navigates seawater is called a, Ship. I know this because I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie. No charge fees for boats and ships that use the locks. Boat signal that was Two Long and One Short means it is signaling an oncoming boat. It's a kinda Head's Up warning.

Hey Russ, happy Easter! Always good to ride shotgun and see the sights with you. I've only made it as far north in Michigan as Luddington (took the SS Badger across to Wisconsin), so it's cool to see some of what I've missed. Very cool to get the view from the lock observation deck and watch the ships go by.Really enjoyed the boardwalk/waterfront walk to the lighthouse. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming adventures in Utah. Happy trails!

If you ever come back to Michigan in Mackinaw city you should tour the ice cutter Mackinaw ship. You will really enjoy it.

@susanboatman7913 2 месяца назад

I love the Mackinac bridge. I know that some people get frightened by driving over and that they used to have drivers for hire that would drive you and your car over the bridge.

There are no fees to lock through. I've seen full size ships go through as well as people in row boats and canoes. No charge. Also, that Wawatam lighthouse in St. Ignace was built to attract tourists in 1998. Although there is a light in it, it really serves no purpose. That yellow building @1:20:38, I used to live on the 2nd floor when I worked for Star Line Ferry.

@janiewilliams48 2 месяца назад

We have enjoyed the ride a longs with you for a couple of years now. One huge suggestion! Please pause and show the whole storyboard or signs just a bit longer. As you went in the basement of one of the museums in Mackenac.... You failed to go all the way down and there was some interesting info there. Again, nice job, but we like reading the things you post. We just can't see all of it. FYI, we traveled to the UP, with our kids and we saw a lot up there. But we were unable to see this stuff. So we liked reading about it. While we were in the Soo Lock area, we ate at the Lock View Restaurant and you pointed it out, cool to see it's still there. The Whitefish was great. Thanks Paul and Janie Williams, Ohio.

Beautiful video. Brings back many memories. Just one correction. Mackinac is pronounced Mackinaw. Spelled differently but pronounced the same.

@Karengwills 2 месяца назад

Thank you for doing this trip. Love that part of Michigan. Used to visit Mackinac island many many times. At 84 and 80 there is no way we could walk that boardwalk now. I don’t even remember the boardwalk. lol.

@joyceleute5700 2 месяца назад

Originally from Michigan, I enjoyed this video so much brought back many memories. Growing up we used to drive up to the soo locks on Sundays a 4 hour drive one way. Mom packed a lunch ate at a park at the straits then headed to rhe soo. I remember riding the ferries from Mackinaw city to St Ignace before the Mackinaw bridge was built . St Ignace hasn't changed much. Love that part of Michigan. Glad you got to see a boat going thru the locks. So fascinating. Thank you so much for this video

@4cindybabe 2 месяца назад

I'm originally from and grew up in MI too. Left there 1973. As a toddler, before the Mighty Mac Bridge was constructed, our family rode "The Vacationland" Passenger and Car Ferry between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace. It was a long waiting line of cars backed up for miles before ferrying to the U.P. My folks took many picture slides of the bridge being built from the early stages and the steady progress until completion. I was a very young girl when the bridge opened and we crossed over. Over the decades, I've crossed over it numerous times, driven over it 2-3 times myself. Always is a thrill ride while gripping the steering wheel and praying it's not very windy during the crossing. I love the Straits area, something an old former Michigander will never erase from many memories there since the early 1950s. I miss the old Traverse Bay Woolen Company store there. I had relatives who were part owners of that MI store chain, but family members grew tired and sold out their family business. Their last store was in Traverse City. I still have my pretty plaid woolen blanket from the store in Mackinaw City. Lots of memories at the tip of the mitt! ✋

@trinity7776 2 месяца назад

Nice video. The only time I visited the Soo locks was in August 1975 and only two ships passed through in the short time I was there. One of them is eternally famous and the photos are posted on my YT channel such as it is.

@annolson6980 2 месяца назад

Went to Mackinac Island a few times with my family. If you want to see a lot of history you should head over on the ferry just for the day (leave the van behind 😅). There is a fort up on the cliff and many interesting old hotels and even a State Park. Take a carriage tour and ride a bike around the island.
