No More Ice Bridge To St. Ignace!






Two days of steady 30 mph winds blowing out of the east have wreaked their havoc on the ice that covered the Straights of Mackinac. Around noon today ice west of the bridge let loose after a relentless push. This made room for the wind to blow all of the ice south of the Humbard trail under the bridge and allowed for a huge amount of pack ice to blow in from the void of Lake Huron. The pack ice was scooting along the shore at Windermere Point traveling an easy 15 mph- too fast to casually keep up with on a bike apparently.
I took some photos of the events from Sunset Rock.
Are you wondering if pagans or hippies visited the beach this summer? I think it was hippies.
