My kind of party U gotta love it!

Raised in snotty Plymouth then moved to the east side and worked in the auto industry for 30 years. Loved Detroit, the river front, Greek town, Tiger stadium, Joe Lewis, Cobo Hall and of course the top of the Ren Cen. Now I live in the U.P. where I love the open space but revisit Detroit a lot on You Tube!

Grew up going to concerts here 30+ years ago. Today... not good viewing from the Hill. Pavilion seating only way to go but 3x more $. The Hill is basically a big party. Not sure it's a venue for me anymore. But bands are good.

This is bullshit. totally ruined a tour of the b29 with the walkways and plexiglass barrier. Go see Doc or FIFI

TY for posting the exterior of this charming motel in St Ignace, MI

_An awesome performance._

yes... nice video of their success

did the person ever get up

Very nice downtown. Beautiful view. Nice restaurants and shopping. Quick stop to Sable Falls. 😊

Amazing wind.

I think at night it would change colors, didn't it?

Man it’s gorgeous. Only been to Michigan once . It gets a bad rep from the cities but it’s beautiful in the country.

Certainly a great viewpoint. Enjoy.

What a gorgeous day. That's niceit's still an attraction for people to see

Кто исполнитель?

I was there a few years ago that we didn't stay overnight just went for the day it was very beautiful and they have wagons pulled by big workhorses the take around the island it was very beautiful

_Cool and interesting trip._

What a great day.

The “great migration” is the single most destructive thing to happen to anyone, anywhere, in terms of one race destroying what an entirely different race built.

The island is on my bucket list. Is there a travel agent that can coordinate my trip?

Very nice! thanks :)

Between this and the reopened train station I never thought I'd say this, but I really want to go to Detroit!!!

TY for posting the video of your visit to the Upper Falls. It took me back to memories of being on our honeymoon touring all around the 2 MI peninsulas as a newlywed to my high school sweetheart in July 1967🎉

Years ago people were allowed to walk behind and under the Upper Falls. Trip Advison has comments of people telling about their experiences. I remember doing that too.

Lions haven't won anything since the Eisenhower administration lol nobody cares. The train station is cool glad it was restored

I see my old home is gone...

The Tahquamenon Falls (/təˈkwɑːmənɒn, -nən/ tə-KWAH-mə-nahn, -⁠nən) are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River, shortly before it empties into Lake Superior, in the northeastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They are the largest waterfalls in Michigan, and one of the largest in the eastern half of North America. The water is noticeably brown in color from the tannins leached from the cedar swamps which the river drains, leading to the nickname "Root Beer Falls".[2] The falls are within Tahquamenon Falls State Park, between the towns of Newberry and Paradise, and are a popular tourist destination during all seasons. The falls are divided into the Upper and Lower Falls. The Upper Falls consist of a single drop of approximately 48 feet (15 m), where the river is more than 200 feet (60 m) across. During the late spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of water per second, making the Upper Falls the third most voluminous waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after Niagara Falls and Cohoes Falls. The Lower Falls is located about 4 miles (6.4 km) downstream, and consist of five smaller falls cascading around an island. The island can be reached by rowboat from the basin below the Lower Falls, or by a foot bridge constructed in 2022. The falls take their name from the river, which appears to come from Tahquamenon Island in Whitefish Bay, near the mouth of the river; the first written record of the name identifies the island as "Outakouaminan" in a 1671 French map.[4] The Tahquamenon River is mentioned by name in Longfellow's 1855 epic poem The Song of Hiawatha, as the protagonist builds a birch-bark canoe "In the solitary forest, By the rushing Taquamenaw". A song by Sufjan Stevens on his album Michigan is titled after Tahquamenon Falls.

We visited here a few years ago in the summer and had a long wait. Glad you could visit at such a good visit. As I recall we were on a raft with a glass look-thru in the floor that allowed a much clearer view of the fish. A really neat place to visit.

If anyone in that state had a brain, they would tear it all down. Ridiculous.

KITCH-ITI-KIPI (THE BIG SPRING): MICHIGAN’S LARGEST NATURAL FRESHWATER SPRING If you’re looking for a breathtaking side trip on your journey through the Central Upper Peninsula, you can’t skip over Kitch-iti-kipi or the “Big Spring” in Palms Book State Park. Nicknamed the “Mirror of Heaven'' by the Ojibwe, this must-see, year-round site reflects its surroundings on crystal-clear waters. Free with Michigan Recreation pass. Kitch-iti-kipi quick facts One of Michigan’s most popular attractions, it welcomes over 60,000 visitors annually. Located 11 miles north of US-2 outside of Manistique. The largest natural, freshwater spring in Michigan, it is 40 feet deep and 200 feet across. The water temperature is a constant 45 degrees and the teal water is crystal clear. It rarely freezes in the winter. 10,000 gallons of water per minute erupts from fissures in the limestone rocks at the spring’s floor. It is home to large lake trout, brown trout and brook trout. The overflow of the spring waters enters a rushing stream that winds its way through the surrounding forest and empties into Indian Lake. Pet-friendly; pets must be on a six-foot or shorter leash at all times in the park and on the raft. If the raft is crowded, please consider keeping your pet on shore. No swimming. No fishing. No kayaking or paddling. You can swim, fish and paddle at the nearby Indian Lake State Park. History of Kitch-iti-kipi For many years, Ojibwe families lived in the area surrounding Kitch-iti-kipi. Many left when European settlers arrived. worked to tame the thick forests, harvesting the lumber to build communities in the U.P. and the Midwest. Lumber camps used Kitch-iti-kipi as a dumping ground for unwanted logs and trash. John Bellaire, the owner of a five-and-dime store in Manistique, came upon the hidden spring in the 1920s. He would visit the enchanting waters almost daily. Rather than buy the land for himself, Bellaire wanted everyone to enjoy the spring. So he convinced members of the Palms and Book families who owned the Palms Book Land Company to sell 90 acres surrounding the spring to the State of Michigan for $10. The deed stipulated the land had to be used forever as a public state park. Over the next two decades, the State obtained several more land parcels and the Palms Book State Park now covers nearly 388 acres. There are several folktales and legends about the spring. A 2020 book by Carole Lynn Hare (Miskwa Anang Kwe), The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi, tells her tribe’s version. John Bellaire admitted to making up other stories in the 1920s to attract visitors to the area. To operate the raft, one or more passengers volunteer to turn the big wheel that propels the raft slowly forward, then back to the dock. The raft is O-shaped with a glass section in the center of the deck. A fence surrounds the opening and a roof overhead reduces any sun glare. From this center observation spot or from the sides of the raft, you can see the large trout swimming below, ancient tree trunks, lime-encrusted branches and clouds of sand pushed up by the bubbling water. It is a window into nature you will long remember. Source: www.uptravel.com/things-to-do/attractions/kitch-iti-kipi/ Kitch-iti-kipi is an oval pool measuring 300 by 175 feet (91 m × 53 m) and is about 40 feet (12 m) deep with an emerald green bottom.[4] From fissures in underlying limestone flows 10,000 US gallons per minute (630 L/s) of spring water throughout the year at a constant temperature of 45 °F (7 °C).[4][2] Hydraulic pressure forces the groundwater to the surface. It has yet to be discovered precisely where this enormous volume of water comes from. The spring's pool bowl is similar to other sinkholes, except that it is connected with an aquifer (underground stream) to nearby Indian Lake. The small spring pool was created when the top layer of limestone dissolved away and collapsed into the cave already made by the underground water. In the crystal clear waters of the spring, ancient tree trunks with mineral-encrusted branches can be seen, as well as fish.[4] Fish species commonly present in the spring are lake trout, brown trout and brook trout. On occasion, one may spot yellow perch and other species that move between Big Spring and Indian Lake.[1] The name Kitch-iti-kipi is said to have many meanings in the language of the local indigenous Ojibwe people. Some were "The Great Water", "The Blue Sky I See", and "Bubbling Spring". Other Native Americans called it "The Roaring", "Drum Water", and the "Sound of Thunder"-even though there is total silence coming from the spring.[6] A kaleidoscope effect of ever-changing shapes and forms within the spring is caused by the clouds of sand kept in constant motion by the gushing waters. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitch-iti-kipi

That was quite a walk! The stairs were never ending. Good job😅

The dirt roads we drove were all better than many to most of the paved roads in SE Michigan. Many were likely recently graded / well maintained.

M-123 is a state trunkline highway in the eastern Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan. It is one of only a few highways in Michigan that curve around and form a U-shape. In fact, M-123 has three intersections with only two state trunklines; it meets M-28 twice as a result of its U-shaped routing. M-123 also has a rare signed concurrency with a County-Designated Highway in Michigan; in Trout Lake, there is a concurrency with H-40. All of M-123 north of M-28 is a Scenic Heritage Route within the Michigan Heritage Route system. 96 miles long. Existed. 1936-present The highway was first designated before 1936 along a section of its current routing. Sections added since then encompass segments formerly belonging to US Highway 2 (US 2) and M-48. The last changes came to the highway in 1962 and 1963, when the northern end was extended and the southern end was truncated slightly. M-123 serves a thinly-populated section of the state.[3] Much of the highway passes through the eastern unit of the Hiawatha National Forest.[4] No part of the highway is listed on the National Highway System, a system of strategically important highways.The section of highway north of the two M-28 junctions is both a Michigan Scenic Heritage Route and part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour. Rogers Park to Paradise The southern terminus of the highway is at exit 352 along Interstate 75 (I-75) north of St. Ignace in Rogers Park. The roadway also connects to County-Designated Highway H-63 (Old US 2) at the interchange. From the interchange north, the highway runs northwest as Tahquamenon Trail to the community of Allenville near Brevort Lake in Brevort Township. Here it meets H-57. Just north of Allenville, the trunkline crosses through the adjacent community of Moran. Allenville was a stop on the Detroit, Mackinac and Marquette Railroad (DM&M), and Moran was named after William B. Moran, one of the early settlement's founders.[7] North of Moran the roadway runs parallel to the DM&M's abandoned rail right-of-way and passes by the Fred Dye Nature Sanctuary. Before crossing into Chippewa County, the highway passes through the community of Ozark, home of a rock quarry. North of the county line is the community of Trout Lake, where M-123 meets and merges with H-40 across railroad tracks and through town near Wegwaas, Frenchman and Carp lakes. Continuing to the north, the highway is renamed Deerfoot Road and serves the Three Lakes Campground, a unit of the Hiawatha National Forest, before meeting M-28 at Eckerman. M-123 & H-40 in Trout Lake M-123 is designated as a Scenic Heritage Route north of M-28.[9] Here it continues northwest to East-West Road and turns to run along the shores of Whitefish Bay and cross the Tahquamenon River near its mouth. Continuing along the bay as Whitefish Road, M-123 meets the community of Paradise, the northernmost point along the highway. It is here that M-123 intersects Whitefish Point Road, which continues north to Whitefish Point, home of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. In either direction, M-123 runs southbound from Paradise, changing direction. Continuing east of Paradise, M-123 is the only paved road that serves the Tahquamenon Falls State Park and the Whitefish Point region. Tahquamenon Falls State Park The Tahquamenon Falls State Park is a 46,179-acre (18,688 ha) state park in Michigan. It is the second largest of Michigan's state parks. Bordering on Lake Superior, most of the park is located within Chippewa County, with the western section of the park extending into Luce County. The park follows the Tahquamenon River as it passes over Tahquamenon Falls and drains into Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. The Tahquamenon Falls include a single 50-foot (15 m) drop, the Upper Falls, plus the cascades and rapids collectively called the Lower Falls. During the late-spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of water per second, making the upper falls the second most voluminous vertical waterfall east of the Mississippi River, after only Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls.[10] Paradise to Newberry edit East of Paradise, M-123 runs along the Tahquamenon River inside the state park boundaries. Past the park, the highway is known as Falls Road in Luce County. The trunkline turns southwest at the county line. It runs south and west across Murphy Creek and the Auger River before intersecting with H-37 at Four Mile Corner. The highway crosses a branch of the Tahquamenon River one last time before becoming Newberry Avenue in the city of Newberry. The highest annual average daily traffic, a measure of traffic volume, was recorded by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for M-123 in 2007 along Newberry Avenue at 7,500 vehicles.[11] South of downtown, M-123 meets M-28 a second time west of Twin Lake. This intersection is the "northern" terminus of the 96.1-mile (154.7 km) highway. History edit The construction of M-123 started in the 1930s near Eckerman, the location of the current eastern M-28/M-123 junction. By 1936, M-123 was designated running north of M-28 on 10 miles (16 km) of hard-surface pavement. At this time, US 2 is routed along Worth Road and uses roadway later used by M-123 from Moran to Rogers Park, and M-48 was routed north of Newberry to Four Mile Corner.[2] The first extension of M-123 southward from Eckerman, through Trout Lake to Rogers Park north of St. Ignace, came in 1954. Part of this routing in Trout Lake uses M-48 (now a portion of H-40). An additional extension is shown north to the Tahquamenon River Bridge, lengthening the highway to the north on the April 15, 1954 official state map.[12] The section north to the Tahquamenon River Bridge is remarked on the October 1, 1954 state map as a county road, however.[13] In 1957, M-123 was permanently extended north to the bridge,[14] and in 1962 the final extension north to Paradise and south to Newberry was completed. From Four Mile Corner Four Mile Corner south, M-123 replaced M-117 to a new terminus at M-28 south of Newberry.[15] The southernmost section of roadway between the I-75/US 2 freeway and H-63 (Old US 2) was transferred to Mackinac County for maintenance with the opening of the freeway in 1963.[16] On November 9, 2007, MDOT expanded the Tahquamenon Scenic Heritage Route designation previously applied to M-123. This expanded the designation to all of the highway north of M-28, recognizing it for its "outstanding natural beauty" and the scenic views of "rivers, forests, trails and Tahquamenon Falls State Park."[17] Previously, the designation was limited to between Luce County Road 500 to Galloway Creek. The expansion was planned by the Eastern Upper Peninsula Regional Planning & Development Commission along with local governments and businesses.

Heath M. Robinson Memorial Cut River Bridge Cut River Bridge is a cantilevered steel deck bridge over the Cut River in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located along U.S. Highway 2 (US 2) in Hendricks Township, Mackinac County,[1] between Epoufette and Brevort, about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of St. Ignace and the Straits of Mackinac. There is a long wooden staircase to the valley below that was constructed some time after the construction of the bridge itself. On the east end of the bridge, there is an office door built under the main structure with a brass plaque inscribed "T. Troll". The bridge was built in 1947 and is one of only two cantilevered deck truss bridges in Michigan, it is 641 feet (195 m) long and contains 888 short tons (793 long tons; 806 t) of structural steel. The bridge carries traffic on US 2 above and spans the Cut River Valley, 147 feet (45 m) below. The second cantilevered bridge in Michigan is the Mortimer E. Cooley Bridge on M55 over the Pine River in Manistee County. It is a metal cantilever 12 panel rivet connected Pratt Deck Truss fixed bridge built in 1934 and rehabilitated in 1989. Its structure length is 613 feet, with a span of 300 feet. The Cut River Bridge and the Cooley Bridge are twins in appearance. The State Highway Department designed this structure, and W.J. Meagher and Sons, Contractors, built it. Actual construction began in 1941. Due to the demand for steel during World War II, construction on the bridge was halted until after the war. Legislation passed in 2014 by the Michigan Legislature named the bridge after Heath Michael Robinson, a fallen member of the Navy SEALs who was killed on August 6, 2011 in Wardak, Afghanistan when their Chinook helicopter came under fire. The bridge is a steel deck cantilever bridge. The structure has extensive latticing on its members, which are all very massive. The bridge retains original standard-plan metal guardrails on the sidewalks that flank the roadway on each side.

Nice throws

Very Nice! What day was this? We were on the island Tuesday 5/28/24, our 30th wedding anniversary trip. 🙂

TY for the lovely video of charming downtown Mackinac Island and its neighborhoods along the shoreline.

_An awesome walking tour video! It's heartwarming glimpse into enchanting stunning scenery of Mackinac Island with clearly explored. Thank you for sharing._ _Greeting from Indonesia._ |🇮🇩

What is the guy at the top saying before they leave?

Year built 1874 The Jesuit missionary Claude Dablon inaugurated the original church on Mackinac Island in 1670, and the earliest surviving parish records date back to 1695.[2] After moving from Fort de Buade to Fort Michilimackinac about 1708 and from Fort Michilimackinac to Mackinac Island in 1781, the parish used a historic log church for decades. It constructed the current church complex in 1874 on a site donated by the former fur trader Magdelaine Laframboise.[3] The church was dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site on December 20, 1990. The parish began as a mission church of the Society of Jesus, served by Jesuits at Fort de Buade at the site of the current St. Ignace, and then by members of the same Order at Fort Michilimackinac (located within present-day Mackinaw City.[4] The parish's Jesuit heritage became diluted in the 1740s when a primary focus of the mission outreach, the Odawa (Ottawa) peoples of the Straits of Mackinac, moved in search of fertile farmland from the sandy region around Fort Michilimackinac to new L'Arbre Croche locations southwestward along the Lake Michigan coast. Cross Village developed at their central village.[4] The Fort Michilimackinac location evolved into service as a parish church for a partly transient population that included many traveling fur traders and voyageurs. The fort's church and parish were increasingly identified with Saint Anne, whom many voyageurs revered as a patron saint. The remaining ties between the Society of Jesus and the parish of Sainte Anne de Michilimackinac were broken in 1765 when the news of the Suppression of the Society of Jesus was brought to the interior of North America.[4] The Jesuit Order could no longer staff this or other Great Lakes mission churches. The parish was maintained through the devoted efforts of a succession of lay parishioners, many of them women.[4] This status, which under other circumstances might have been seen as slightly irregular by the standards of that day, was accepted and celebrated by the Church because of the devotion of the parishioners. For example, the lay leadership carefully maintained a dwelling space, attached to the church, for the absent priest.[4] It was during this period of de facto lay leadership, during which time the parish did not have an assigned priest, that the church building was disassembled and moved (under British orders) from Fort Michilimackinac to Mackinac Island, its new permanent home, in 1780-1781. The island and parish was defined as within United States territory in 1796 under the Jay Treaty with Great Britain settling the border with Canada. It was a thriving frontier community based on the fur trade. The economic growth of the Island's commerce and harbor attracted more Americans. The general indifference by the new American military authorities to the Catholic faith, led to the temporary disintegration of the church's structure of lay leadership. By 1803 Father Gabriel Richard, visiting the parish to offer the sacraments, found that the altar had been desecrated and the priest's quarters adapted for use as a brothel.[4] After the War of 1812, the parish was saved by a prominent local fur trader, Madeline La Framboise, an Ojibwe who worked with a succession of visiting priests to restore the church's status as a place of worship.[4] She also donated land to be used as a site for the church. With continued settlement in the region, the Catholic Church re-established a geographically structured system of Catholic life and worship in Michigan Territory. Father Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli was assigned to Sainte Anne de Michilimackinac in 1830; he was the first resident priest in 65 years.[4] The parish was reassigned in 1853 to what is today the current Diocese of Marquette.[3] With population and economic growth, the church demolished its historic log structure in the 1870s. It replaced it with the timber-framed church, begun in 1874 and completed in the 1880s, that is in use today. Today edit As the 300th anniversary of the church's parish record book approached, Sainte Anne Church was recognized in 1992 as a registered Michigan historic site, designated as SO622. A state historic marker was erected at the church.[2] As measured by the continuity of its parish records, the parish of Sainte Anne de Michilimackinac is one of the oldest Roman Catholic parishes in the interior of North America.[3] A museum is operated in the church's ground floor; it interprets and displays artifacts of the parish's history.

Congratulations on showing one of the least visited places on Mackinaw Island.

Thanks for the history.
