#MightyMac #HappyBirthdayMackinacBridge
#68Years

On Labor Day, 2023, my kids helped me cross off a bucket list wish, & walk across this bridge. Exhilarating! 10 miles roundtrip.

The sunlit #MackinacBridge or #MightyMac, the fifth-longest (by suspension) bridge in the world, and third largest in the US for #UrbanGaze

The photo is a close up of one of two towers that make up the Mackinac Bridge, while the other tower can be seen in the distance. Sunspots from the (unseen) sun overhead appears at the top right, adjacent to cut outs, from which the sun streams, on the gray steel. Blue sky and cumulus clouds surround the towers, as well as light poles, main suspension cables, and hangers. Multiple vehicles moving toward and away can be seen on the gray deck/road.

The Mackinac Bridge lights shine through the twilight, with a slow shutter speed smoothing out the waves and strong currents of the Straits.

Yeah, McT ran outta gas today... poor dear. I couched him (oral surgery Fri) for time-out. Still have to drain the hose reels & shut off the outside spigots, collect my shepherd hooks. Just minor stuff now. It can wait for tomorrow. It's a chore, but we gotta do it in da Mitten!!

Get low…. It’ll be worth it!!! The puddles of melting ice surrounding the Mackinac bridge provide the coolest reflections.

Heads up, #MightyMac fans! The folks at the #MackinacBridge Authority just let us know that they are selling small pieces of grating starting today at their administration office (open 24/7). The pieces are $20 each, limited to 3 pieces per customer.

Small piece of grating next to a pen to show its size.

Mighty Mac in all her spring time glory!

The melting ice makes for spectacular reflections. Taken the evening of the lunar eclipse... It was cold but worth it!
