This is what you see when you enter Mackinac Island--Fort Mackinac complete with gun and canon

 enactments. When you go on shore of this delightful island all you see is bikes and horses as automobiles

 are not allowed on this small Island.

We arrive early - got lucky and got an inside slip as the harbor is very busy with plenty of ferry boat wakes . Took the bikes down and joined the crowds .  We biked to the Grand Hotel (from the movie “Somewhere in Time ” fame) and found out there is a fee to walk on the world’s longest porch if you are not a guest of the Hotel  so we took pictures from the driveway.  Great restaurants and  FUDGE shops! and beautiful gardens
