Northern Michigan is a summer paradise! So much to do and so much natural beauty. It often doesn't get the respect it deserves. Thanks for the wonderful video and thank you for your service to our great country.

Speaking of taking a break from technology, I visited Shipshewana, Indiana which has the second or third largest Amish/Mennonite population in the US. It was a charming place, not yet spoiled by large chain stores. Sure there was a Taco Bell and a Phillips 66, but everything else was family/Amish owned. I felt like I stepped back in time to another land, it was incredible.

Yet another education! My mother was from Michigan, but I've never been that far back east. I've wanted to see Mackinaw Island ever since Somewhere in Time came out.

Thank you, Randy, for another thoughtfully and beautifully done video. I hope you and Bella are well, and blessings to you both 🥰

You did us proud. Thank you for the beautiful video of my state. Things I’ve never done or knew about. Theres always next time we are up there!

Buffet in Grand hotel and views from main dining area will be awesome and it’s a must for the visitors and they can enjoy both views and grand buffet.

We just got back from St.Ignace yesterday, we spent four nights there, rode bikes around the Mackinac Island. Sunday we drove up to Munising for the pictured rocks cruise on Lake Superior, I'm still on cloud nine, wonderful vacation!

Another excellent production. Thank you

Haven't been to Mackinac Island since I was a kid, 25 to 30 years ago. Great memories of family trips "up north". Thanks for bringing back those memories. Great job on these videos!!

We stayed at Mission Point and it was great. It was early October and some nights were pretty chilly.

I’m Michigan born and we call it “Up North”. Thank you for this video! I’ve been there many times.

Mackinac Island is really nice if you spend the night there after all the day tourists leave

[allme]

Brother Randy, what a spectacular trip to M Island-the bridge is truly a wonder-ty so much for sharing; glad you got some joy cycling there with Bella in tow. Blessings from TX, Jana and Mike

Love Mackinac Island and its charm. My first "big girl" vacation was to Mackinac Island. My first cat was named Fudgie. Fudgie is a term of endearment and what the year round residents call the tourists.

[Jeannified]

I absolutely love Mackinac Island! Visited it years ago in the early 2000’s. Just a gloriously beautiful place! Magical! I remember the lovely Lilac inn, as well as the beautiful and fragrant lilac trees all over the island! Also…The Grand Hotel! Magnificent! Lots of other great places that we visited on that island! Treasured memories of that trip with my mom!

My husband and I visit Mackinac every summer and never get tired of it. I found your tour of it to be informative, interesting and delightful---thank you!
