Scratch Three
For years, I have felt like a bad Michigander as I have never been up to the UP . Every Labor Day, the Mackinac Bridge is opened for pedestrians and I figured that this last Monday would been a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Along with my friends, Kraig and Stacey, we made plans to go do it. Since the walk was to begin early in the morning, Stacey wanted to spend the night near there. Otherwise, we would have had to leave from our homes in the wee hours of the morning. I was open to this as we could also fit in Sleeping Bear Dunes . The fact that the park was recently voted the number most beautiful place in America helped. Seriously, click that link. We started out on Sunday morning and the drive up there was okay for me. It wasn’t so comfortable for Kraig and Stacey. Poor Kraig had his knees pressed up against the dash to give what little room there was in the back for Stacey. Once we got through Cadillac, the drive scenery improved… but then it got old.
