2021:
Waiting for sunrise on Mackinac
Island. |
 |
|
There it was, with an orange sky. |
 |
|
Fog remained, but that didn't deter sailors that day. |
 |
|
The mighty
Fort Mackinac, high above the bay. |
 |
 |
|
Let's go in and look around. |
|
 |
|
A great view of the strights of
Mackinaw. |
 |
|
There are buildings with history
exhibits, nicely done. |
 |
 |
|
Let's learn to load and shoot an
18th century vintage musket. |
 |
|
And it went off with a bang. |
 |
|
Then it was time for to load the
canon. |
 |
|
It went off with a BOOOOOM! |
 |
|
A ferry boat was seen below rounding
the breakwater. |
 |
| Then a cargo ship went by. Some are 1000 feet long. |
Quote of the day:
 An
educational experience. Mark
