Welcome to the UP

 

The only thing we dreaded about going to the Upper Peninsula was crossing the Mackinac Bridge. It has it's own webpage so you can check weather conditions for fog or wind that could make crossing over challenging. The weather was perfect and Mark did great getting us across.

Going through the toll booth, on the other side, made it seem like we were crossing the border into Canada. Ironically, as we traveled another 100 miles or so to Tahquamenon Falls State Park the vegetation and cooler temps made us even more sure we had crossed the border.

Starbaby is excited that the Upper Peninsula seems to be home to a large population of chipmunks!
