Day 9, Tuesday, September 22, 2009-275 miles

The first day of Autumn has us on our way to the second destination of our tour, Frankenmuth, MI. We made it over halfway there, stopping for the night at a park a few miles south of Mackinaw City. We made one stop along the way at a museum that was once a lumber mill for Ford Motor. We looked around a little, but didn't tour the museum.




We arrived in Mackinaw City about 3:00 and spent the next couple hours exploring the downtown area. There are more fudge stores here than any other place I have been.


We treated ourselves to a regional favorite for dinner, the pastie. It is a tasty meat pie served with gravy. Not bad, but I may not have another.

  1. Well, glad you at least TRIED a pasty. And with a "y", not an "ie". Not those little star-shaped things that show-girls wear ;).

    Now you've had the true Yooper experience - complete with pasty.
