We joined 21,000 others for the annual Labor Day Bridge Walk on Monday the 6th. The walk is over the Mackinac Bridge, from either end, between St Ignace and Mackinaw City. As over-achievers, we walked both ways, 5 miles each, and are now known as “double-crossers”.
Leaving the marina at 6:40A to try and catch Governor Whitmer and the start of the walk.In 1954 there was no provision made for pedestrians so in order to walk the bridge, the entire structure needs to be closed.The over over-achievers at the start.A beautiful, brisk, morning constitutional for 21,000.
We were rewarded with breath-taking views of Lake Huron for getting up and out so early.
Looking down……and up!We met the starters from Mackinaw City about half way.Walkers as far as the eye can see!We took a short rest in Michilimackinac Park……then headed back to St Ignace.Back to where we started.In the event you have never seen the iconic image of Mighty Mac, this is for perspective…🙂
