Mackinac 2014 Planning

Hi All,

Summer is fast approaching and time to think about a bridge caravan. First off, and I'm sorry to say, I will need to bow out of the lead. I'm involved with 3 other volunteer commitments and just can't afford the time. So we'll need someone to step up to organize this. I will be glad to participate and help out. To start here are some ideas...

First we need a date. Weekends are the busiest and most expensive for lodging etc. August is the busiest month.
I did contact the Chamber in Mackinaw and they can plan the entire event of us if we want to stay in Mackinaw. They can arrange lodging, plan a barbecue, arrange a staging area and collect bridge crossing fees so we don't have to wait in the toll both line, etc. But... lodging would be in the $175-200 range + barbecue. This would be the easiest way to see Mackinaw

I found a convenient hotel in Pellston an easy ride to the bridge for about $150 a nite. And we can dine at the Dam Site Inn the BEST chicken dinner you'll ever have.

That's as far as I got. Post your interest to lead and/or participate.

Ron
