After Picking up Candi we headed up to the Mighty Mac (Mackinac Bridge). The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge opened to traffic on November 1, 1957.

Once across the Mighty Mac we anxiously awaited the arrival of this sign, which tells you you are only 40 miles from the ferry in De Tour Village

Upon entering De Tour Village we met up with Kevin @ the De Tour Village Inn (the cheeseburger bar as he calls it). Had a brew and a cheeseburger and waited for the next ferry.

Loaded onto the ferry headed for Drummond Island
20110016.jpg

Off the ferry and on to The Lodge. Once there everyone got settled in their rooms, we made some "adult beverages" at the bar and we sat down to enjoy the view.

Ahhh, sunset at The Lodge. You can't capture the true colors on digital cameras.

20110029.jpg

Thursday night we had a bonfire and passed out the S.H.I.T. 2011 Shirts!

Friday AM, we all had breakfast provided by my wife and I. Aired Down, pulled fuse "27", lined up and hit the short trek to the trails.

More trail PIX!
20110061.jpg

20110064.jpg

We arrived to Shale Beach. About a 4 mile stretch of small rounded stones that crunch like popcorn when you drive/walk on them.
20110069.jpg

Hung out on Shale Beach for a while skipping stones and took a group shot (I don't have that one) and off to Marble Head. Marble Head has a pretty nice rock decent/climb with 3 different skill options. I have a lot of video but only this picture of the HUMMER Peeps taking video and pix.
20110071.jpg

Lunch on Marble Head (Detroit Coney Dogs!!!!) provided by CBphoto. Many pix of the 80 foot cliff that is Marble Head then off to Glen Cove Beach (others have pix of Marble Head and Glen Cove Beach, I hope thye post'em)
After Glen Cove Beach we took a trek to Fossel Ledges. A great place to find fossels in the rocks that get crushed by the waves and placed on the shore line.
20110081.jpg

20110082.jpg

Our group of "Rock Hounds" looking for their own fossels to take as a token of their trip to Fossel Ledges.

On the way back to The Lodge it was a "bit" dusty so I pulled over and got some "Kalahari Desert" type pix.

20110086-1.jpg

20110089-1.jpg

We even saw "Bambi" on the way back.
20110092-1.jpg

Back @ The Lodge we Jetski'd, Kayak'd, shot skeet hung out. Will and Rebecca provided us with Steak and Baked Taters for dinner! Another bonfire and some quality time spent @ the bar in The Lodge.
Saturday AM, Candi and Derreck provided us with breakfast burritos. Candi taught a class on Tread Lightly and we lined up for that days adventure. Hailifrisch, Tight Twisties, Jims Junction, Reikoffs and Conners Hole!!

More Trail Pix:
20110098.jpg

20110099.jpg

This climb is way steeper and harder than it looks in pix.
20110101.jpg

My "attempt" at the climb. Even with expert spotting and some rock "placement" I was however AGAIN unsuccessful and had to retreat to the bypass. One day I will conquer it!

Well after wheeling over 1000s of bowling balls 1/2 burried all day and Detroit Coney Dogs for lunch we had to stop by our favorite "rest area" before heading back to The Lodge for more Jetski'n, shoot'n, Kayak'n etc.
20110150.jpg

20110149.jpg

We had dinner Saturday night provided by Chastin (John and Laura). Spagetti dinner with hand made meat balls (still want more of those), salad and garlic bread. Fished off with fresh apple pie and ice cream provided by Candi! Full and happy we retired to the campfire for some spectacular star gazing and "trail talk".
Some Dirty HUMMERs.

Sunset once again.
20110199.jpg

Yep, that's AM. Some peeps had to leave pretty early in the AM to get back home. Some of us "stayed up" to wish them a safe trip!
20110192.jpg

Sunday for those who stayed was a leasure time of beach, Jetski'n, more Rock Hound'n, Kayak'n, Shoot'n and bonfires.
On the sad ferry ride home this is how close the ferry came to a freighter. A little scary when you see the size of a freighter 25 feet from a small ferry.
20110209.jpg

Might Mac on the trip home, Monday.
20110210.jpg

ANYBODY WANT TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN 2012??? :D:D:D
