The locals say its pronounced Mak n aw NOT Mac i nack. If you say it that way they call you a fudgie. (Apparently the local industry is fudge! There is at least four shops to every block:) The island is home to the largest seasonal hotel in the USA 375 rooms open from spring to fall. Built in 93 days according to local legend. No motor vehicles permitted but there must be 5000 bicycles per acre. The streets are lined with them. No bridge either, just a fleet of very nice ferries from at least three competitors that run every half hour. Up by the old fort there is a natural arch. In the photo you see the tree tops below. Those are really big trees too! The downtown photo is a Mackinac traffic jam, two freight wagons going for the same street(that's how that big hotel gets all its stuff).
