The Cabin

Tonight is the last night we will spend at Mackinaw City in our lovely cabin by the lake. I will miss it terribly. We just came in from watching the setting sun as the lights of the Mackinac Bridge slowly become bright against the darkening sky while the moon rose on the opposite horizon. It truly is a beautiful place with the breeze blowing and a bonfire burning nearby.
We spent our day going to places like Michilimackinac Fort


just under the Mackinac Bridge, the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, Castle Rock, Mystery Spot, and St. Ignace. The fort was very nice. It was a reproduction built since the 1960's and it is still under construction. Excavation of artifacts is still happening on location and we were able to watch that happening while we visited. Pretty cool.
The lighthouse,


like most today, is no longer in use but was a wonderfully kept place to visit. We picnicked there afterward by the lake. Troy took a picture of his feet in the lakes under the bridge and I say lakes because that is where Huron and Michigan join so he had one foot in each lake.
Castle rock was the big, or rather tall event of the day. It was like climbing 20 flights of stairs,


literally. I was not going to be beat. I did have to stop for a small rest in the middle but I made it all the way to the top and took pictures to prove it. Maybe I will actually get them to load here. :)
Tomorrow we leave this wonderful place and off to other grand adventures like Tahquamenon Falls and Sault St. Marie.
