Lake Huron is looking very ice free.
Ice free towards the Mackinac Bridge:
Ice free towards both lighthouses.
I called Arnold Line Ferry today to see if they had an estimated date of return. Not yet. Last year, ferries didn't run until April due to ice. I'll try again next week! (I want to teach Sunday School at our church on the mainland, and it's too expensive to fly every weekend).
What should you do when approaching a parked emergency vehicle with its lights flashing and you're on a bicycle? I don't know. But I rode on the sidewalk just in case. (Riding bikes on sidewalks is not legal on Mackinac Island, but I'm hoping it was okay in this situation.)

Aww. Should have grabbed some paczki when you were driving through GR last week - our bakeries have had them for weeks. Bet you could mail-order some from a bakery next year.
ReplyDeleteGuess so! It turns out Doud's Market DID carry Paczkis- they just sold out by afternoon! So kudos to Douds for managing to offer them! We just didn't check early enough :)
DeleteDoud's had them. Bummer you missed them!
ReplyDeleteSo I hear! We didn't check until the afternoon- you snooze you lose I guess! I won't wait until 1:30pm next time!
DeleteIt's funny that you mentioned not growing up with them. I grew up on the east coast and never heard of them until I moved to the Midwest in my 30s. Didn't take me very long to like 'em though!
DeleteI grew up in the Midwest, but my church didn't do Lent. Without Lent, I suppose the Paczkis don't have a reason to be.
