Exploring St. Ignace

Our third day at Kewadin Casino, was a Saturday. Since the weather was a bit blustery, Bob and I decided to drive to St. Ignace and explore their little town. It was a good decision! There was an antique tractor show going on and the tractors were all driving over the Mackinac Bridge. Once off the bridge, they drove through the town of St. Ignace. People were lined up on the sidewalks to view the tractors.

 This was our favorite of the tractor parade. All the tractor drivers slowed down to wave at this fellow with his tractors on parade for them!

 After doing a little shopping in the local stores, Bob and I walked their riverfront trail. It took us to Wawatam Lighthouse. It was next to what used to be railroad tracks near a loading dock for the railroad ferry which ran until the 1980's.

 Yes, it was still a blustery day. We had on our jackets and the wind was whipping my hair in my face.

From the riverwalk we were able to watch the Shepler and Star Line ferries make the trip to and from Mackinac Island. I'm glad we went when the water was a bit calmer.

 We enjoyed our stay at Kewadin Casino, but the following day was a travel day...time to cross the Mackinac Bridge.

Next stop: Grayling Army National Guard RV Park.
