Well, here it is August 4th and we are at the St. Ignace, Michigan Koa to visit Macinac Island. We passed the Koa into the town but because there was no name of the town on it we kept going till we got to the bridge. We went over, it was $20 to cross. Once on the other side we realized that it was the Koa we were looking for on the other side, so back we went, another $20. We pulled in and saw that this koa had very tight roads. The office is manned by teenagers, who know nothing about sites, camping or direction. I had read a previous review of this place that said the electrical box is way in the back and you might not be able to reach it. Was he ever right. We ended up changing sites 4 times and finally found a space we could reach the elec. and get our satellite signal. By the way, every site in this park is so unlevel, you will tear your hair out trying to get level, just do the best you can. We booked three nites and left after two. This area has very few rv parks with pull thru sites,which is what we needed, so we take what we can get. It wasn't at all a good experience. The trip to Macinac Island the next day was nice. It is an expensive ferry ride over, but once you are there it pays to take a carriage ride. Only horse drawn carriages and bicycles are allowed there. It is such a pretty place. Food there is reasonable. A carriage tour is only $28, which seemed average. You will learn a little about the place. You can also rent a horse and go on your own or even a small horse drawn carriage. I don't know how much that was. It is difficult to get through the streets with so many people all over. The weather was beautiful. Enjoy the pics
Unfortunately sitting behind these huge belgian horses is amazing
Below is the Grand Hotel, where the movie "Somewhere
in Time" was made, it is a gorgeous place, just to walk through it
if you are not a guest costs $10
Below is one of the stops on the carriage tour
Like a museum with old vehicles and an
old sled
