First thing in the morning, we set off for St. Ignace to see the bridge. On the way there, we stopped at a spot on Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior to look for moose ... supposedly a common place for sightings, but we weren't so lucky. The Mackinac Bridge is, at 5 miles long, the longest suspension bridge in the country. While taking pictures of it, some old luddite wouldn't leave me alone, claiming his Pentax film body and Tamron lens were far superior to my digital hunk o'junk, which could never be as artful as his ebay "finds". We finished off the day at the Upper Falls of the Tahquamenon River, which, due to dry conditions, was not at it's peak beauty.
