Day nine: “If you seek a beautiful peninsula …” Escanaba, Mich., to Ann Arbor, Mich.: 443 miles, 8 hours We had planned to explore northern Michigan a little, but we’re learning quickly that there’s always more road than there is time to drive it. We dipped our toes in Lake Michigan and appreciated its Greatness, but there wasn’t time to do much more. As with Montana, the scenery of rural Michigan lends itself more to a swiveling head than to a still camera. (That’s not to suggest that motion pictures of Michigan would be anything but dull.) There was one highly photogenic monument, though: the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan’s two peninsulas. ![]() ![]() ![]() All images and text on this site ©2001–2008 Daniel Esch except where noted. |
