Wow. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Cruising across the Straits of Mackinac to … Mackinac Island. The Experts say The Straits don’t necessarily freeze in all winters. But this winter, perfect weather and perfect timing, as we were headed back to Michigan from Minnesota, the road trip to the Arrowhead 123 v2022.
Anyway. Why would anyone do this? Why not? Solid Ice. Free training ride to the famous island. Cruise’n The Island with not real tourist traffic.
And. I live in New Mexico. When is the next time I’d have this opportunity?
I’ll stop the…
Diarrhea of The Mouth
… And just post The Pics
The Overview




A Cool Video… The Ride Back. Mackinac Island to St Ignace via the frozen Straits of Mackinac.

Inspirational photos of the burgers and beers , the good life , all the essentials on one table ……. dunno about the weird ones with folks pedalling ss across the ice.
I will take what I can from your post, and use it to help get my ass up the Iditarod Trail in a few weeks….. on foot, single speed, starting real slow , before grinding to a complete halt somewhere along the trail.
There won’t be any stats or data, coz my Sony Walkman’s playing up.
Shame that you and your buddies ain’t in AK this year Judd , coz I heard they have so much beer they’re selling it !
