MACKINAC ISLAND DOESN'T DISAPPOINT



FAMOUS 5 MILE BRIDGE TO MAINLAND



Our mid-September trip to upper Michigan was perfect in every way. The fall foliage was beginning to pop out, the day on Mackinac Island for a carriage ride and Fort Mackinac tour was memorable and our trek south via Charlevoix and Grand Rapids completed the wonderful trip.

THE GRAND HOTEL - still! one of great beautiful hotels of all time. This was on the BUCKET LIST for most of us traveling. The opportunity to stay just one night and partake of the 5-course dinner dressed in our finest and acting like ladies and gentlemen (NO CELL PHONES)!

1 of 32 Parke County Bridges

On a beautiful sunny October day our full coach of 58 enjoyed the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival and touring the RED route taking us to Bridgeton,IN. There is so much history and many stories date back to the early 1900's when the bridges totaled more than 50 crossing over rivers, streams and culverts. 

Many of the bridges are drivable (not for motor coaches), but the festival map is invaluable if you intend to self-drive one of the the 5 county routes.

The festival headquarters in downtown Rockville will help you plan a wonderful day.
