Mackinac Island & Door County Pix
http://alexisparkinn.com/2005_mackinac_island.htm
If you're ever looking for a wonderful trip, this flight around the Great Lakes is hard to beat. We were able to do the whole journey about 7.5 hours of flight time (it would take an almost unfathomable number of hours to *drive* this trip), spread over four days, and enjoyed some of the most marvelous dining, shops and entertainment in the country. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Hey -- I still feel guilty for kicking that guy off the bench under the Mackinac Island Airport sign -- and then having the audacity to ask him to take the picture, to boot! He looked so comfy, just sitting there reading his book, too... Good thing he had a good sense of humor... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

That's a neat set of pictures! But how did you end up taxiing in that
seaplane up to the St Ignace runway........? (Ref the St Ignace Final pix!) nrp

Say Jay. Do you think I could land my amphib and beach or dock on the
island? Looks like a great trip. I went right by there on my trip to Quebec in June! There are some really cool islands up in Lake Huron too. Some with airports. Check them out.

My personal favorite photo, the "short final" shot. Now, what was that
the CFI kept saying about the runway centerline? Oh, ya, the plane should be lined up with it. :-) Now Jay, don't try to say Mary was flying. I'm sure she never has those issues. Nice pictures, sounds like a great getaway for you two. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student Arrow N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail)

No good place to beach as I recall - Best bet would be to call the state
marina and ask about a place to tie up / moor... http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7...4386--,00.html Phone: (906) 847-3561 The harbor is reasonably sheltered between Mackinac and Round Islands. Watch out for the ferrys. -- Geoff the sea hawk at wow way d0t com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail Spell checking is left as an excercise for the reader.

"In ten days taking this picture would be illegal!"
What will be illegal about taking aerial photos of Oshkosh? Well, okay. It would only be illegal to do between roughly 1:30 and 6 PM-ish each day... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
