Rainy Day on Mackinac Island


It's been a rainy week on Mackinac Island. Here's one of the tour carriages heading toward the downtown to pick up passengers for the tour of the island. Even the horses look like they would prefer sunnier weather!

The house in the right background, up on the bluff, is the Governor's Mansion. One of the really cool perks of being governor of Michigan is use of this historic home on Mackinac Island. The house overlooks the Straits of Mackinac. In this view, taken from Cadotte Street on the way up to the Grand Hotel, the Jewel golf course which is the front nine of the Grand Hotel course is between the street and the mansion.
