Driving Across the Mackinac Bridge 15 minutes before sunrise

[26THSTATE1]

I've been to Europe, Turkey, Mexio, all over the US, Maine, Washington, Arizona, Florida.. Nothing i've seen compares to Michigan. It really is the most beautiful state ...except the G**Da* winters. And you must be crazy if that bridge doesnt get you excited about being "up north"... 

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

Beautiful state especially in the UP,but the state economy isn't that good.

[psycofloyd]

Hehe you know they are outsiders when they pronounce it Mackinac.

[Calculator240]

@psycofloyd If they pronounce the bridge like Mackinac, or spell it like Mackinaw, you know they're not Michiganders.

[scifiwriter98]

Back in the 70's, I had a girlfriend who gave me head while we drove across the bridge.

Ahh, memories...

[klyydsdale]

Those orange barrels should be on the Michigan State flag....

[woodencoasterfan]

@jeffhardyfreak22 Some people would say that it's the voice of the bridge. I've been on a few turntable and draw bridges where the sound changed pitch slightly when sections of the grates had been replaced.

[nipigongirl1234]

Isn't the bridge about 5 miles long???

[thigirlhockeygoalie]

@nipigongirl1234 i believe it is a little bit longer than that but not much longer

[alaskanmal63]

I love it up north .. Beautiful Video..

[sids8065]

Nice setting. The video is pretty shaky. Consider running it thru a deshaker software and the results will come out great

[wegotf8th]

i luv mackinac! just got back last night!

[jeffhardyfreak22]

lol i live in mackinaw the grates get so annoying sometimes

[p154831]

@jeffhardyfreak22 then go in the other lane on the bridge lol!

[joeldude76]

[jeffhardyfreak22]

@joeldude76 in mackinaw or st ignace? im from mackinaw

[MagicApple03]

It is typed as Mackinac, but pronounced Mackinaw. Sorry, but you are giving this native Michigan resident a headache. =]

Want a real treat? Go to Mackinac Island.

[YFOOG2]

Sorry for the headache - It has been updated. It was the town of Mackinaw that got me on this one. They put on the "Annual Mackinaw Memorial Bridge Race"

[sassygirl8324]

@MagicApple03 Thank you 

[pivotvideos101]

absolutely beautiful

[caitym14]

if anny one needs help on mackinaw just ask me because i read alot of mackinaw ok

[pettyofficer30]

It used to be the world longest suspension bridge at 5 miles. I don't know if it still is though.

[caitym14]

it still is i know a lot about mackinaw

[sids8065]

it is at number 10 or 12 now

[airdriver]

Okay, I haven't been over the Mac since high school back in the 70's, are the center lanes still just grating?

[jotoew]

It will always be grating because it helps the bridge flex and drain water

[ruefulquixote]

Yes....kinda freaky to drive on them.

[charby09]

when your on the bridge is lake huron on one side and lake michigan on the other or is it huron on both sides is lake michigan further west

[iowndisciti]

its where the waters of huron, supeiror and michigan meet

[Beachrunner333]

@iowndisciti ..........Huron and Michigan meet there...Superior is nowhere near the straits......Lake Huron is East of the bridge, Lake MI to the West.

[cantonsoccer12]

@iowndisciti : You are wrong. I live in Michigan, so I would know this. Lake Superior is does not meet at the Mackinac Bridge. It is where Lake Huron, right of the bridge, meets with Lake Michigan, left of the bridge. Lake Superior is north.

[thigirlhockeygoalie]

@cantonsoccer12 lol thats really funny!!

[lovegun1962]

When we were kids going up nprth and over the bridge my dad had taken the back seats out of the van and there were holes in the floorboard...well, needless to say, we use to look down throught the holes and the grated road and see the water! cool. huh?

[j6282]

i highly doubt your story

[NuRm69]

I love the bridge, but I'm nto surprised to see orange barrels in Michigan..:p

[Kittyslasher69]

Those orange barrels can really annoy niggaz from the hood who need a quick getaway break.

[mrleo8694]

^^ i really hope you're not White

[Guiness5000]

I was there probably 5-10 years ago. It's a beautiful place. I was just watching that episode a little while ago today.

[Limp73]

My wife and I left our hearts in Mackinaw City,MI as well as the island when we were on our honeymoon in 1982. We took our kids here ten years later.

We miss the magic of Mackinac.. I wish we can both re-kindle the flame once again here someday!

[lpnick8]

Amazing bridge! I've crossed it many of times from Appleton to Saginaw over the past 25 years. Its beauty is breath takeing both from the shorelines and on it, day or night, summer or winter. I recall my oldest daughter seeing it for the first time saying,"UpUpUp downdowndown upupup downdowndown" She was three at that time, and now ten, She still says that! I would love to walk over it some day. Thats one to add to the "Bucket list".

[BlueKarot17]

This video is amazing. I personally love how the Mackinaw Bride looks over any period of time, including sunrises, sunsets, even when the water is frozen over beneithe it.

Marvelous! A+

[hondasniper250]

i agree, i got about 10 videos of going over thaT ARE absolutly perfect!! il be posting them in a few weeks!! love it up there!!

[ipostrandomthings]

Lol I got a video just like this! Except its not on my page and there is a ton of talking in it and no music.
