Thanks for the great vid! I lived on "The Island" in the summer of 1965 when I was 8 yrs old. It was a GREAT summer & great memories.

St. Ignace always has the dirtiest football players. Santa's going to put coal in those stockings!

Looks beautiful up there at that time. So what do you do up there with everything closed? Snowmobile?

[Snack3828]

It is beautiful, especially if it's snowing. Well we don't do a whole lot, it's a nice time to just get away and relax. Walk around, take pictures, have a nice supper, maybe go to the bar (see our other video of this years trip...lol) We love being there in the summer and we wanted to experience it in the winter too, never disappointed.

Hey how did you get a ferry boat to take you to the island in December? My ant and uncle live up there and they told me it freezes over and they take snowmobiles over there in the winter.

[Snack3828]

Actually the ferry runs until January. It's a different ferry then what you take in the summer. This one takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the island.

Just got back from staying at the Murray. I'll bet you had downtown all to yourself at that time of the year and 25 places trying to sell you fudge... were most of the stores closed?

[Snack3828]

We certainly did have the place to ourselves, it's nothing like what it is during the summer. We stayed at the Pontiac Lodge and none of the stores were open. A few of the restaurants/bars were. We've stayed in the winter before and we love it, we'll probably be there again this winter.

[Snack3828]

And by the way, there wasn't any fudge available...lol

hi charlie, hope you liked the murray, i was one of the construction workers who built the basement conference room and upper floor pool at the murray hotel winter of 1999/2000. what a long cold winter that was!!! if it was still there, i did a photo album for the pulte family depicting the construction project, and they had it on display in the lobby. amazing what after tourist season brings to the rock..... a bit of peacefulness that's hard to find anywhere else but mackatrazz!!! john h.

Thank you for sharing this. I worked on the island for 2 summers (91 & 92). The time I spent on the island is one of my fondest memories. Beautiful scenery & truly beautiful people!

That's really cool to see Mackinac in the winter. I work there during the summer.
