AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage – only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on YouTube are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

MASSACRE AT FORT MACKINAC - NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY IN MICHIGAN
This story was first a two part article that appeared in Gary Fogelman's. Indian Artifacts Magazine back in 1992. It was written while I was staying at a hotel across from the fort. I released this in 1993 as a booklet through my Treasure Cove Publications.
Mackinaw City - Michigan
Mackinaw City sits at one end of the famous Mackinac Bridge and is the Gateway to Mackinac Island. It's a very tourist orientated little town with lots of shops, restaurants and hotels and we discovered the one to stay away from ... the Super 8 that faces the bridge view. There are two Super 8's in town so don't get them confused. O'Reilly's Irish Pub & Restaurant is adjoined by the Dixie Saloon which provides a wide variety of seafood a midst some beautiful woodwork decor. You can buy and fly a kite in Conkling Heritage Park while viewing the USCGC Mackinaw icebreaker. Check out the chocolate brown statue of Edgar Conkling while you're there. One of the most beautiful Bed & Breakfasts we had ever seen, Brigadoon is a block away. Heading south along either the west or east shoreline provides lots of State Parks and camping opportunities.

A Summer's Day on Mackinac Island, Michigan
July 2011
Visiting Mackinaw City Michigan and The Mackinac Bridge
Today, we are visiting Mackinaw City Michigan and the Mackinac Bridge. Mackinaw City is located in northern Michigan. The highlight of Mackinaw City is the Mackinac Bridge which spans the gap between the lower peninsula of Michigan and the upper peninsula of Michigan.
It had been at least 25 years since I last stepped foot in Mackinaw City and boy has a lot changed. The very first thing I noticed that was different is a cool shopping district called the Mackinaw Crossings has been built. This little shopping area reminds me of the River Crossings in Frankenmuth, Michigan, but with a few more things to do. In fact, I believe it was built by the same developers.
After checking out the Mackinaw Crossings we decided to walk through downtown Mackinaw City and head out toward Lake Huron to check out some of the shoreline. The Lake Huron water is absolutely gorgeous. I was surprised at how clear and clean the lake looked.
After spending some time on Lake Huron we decided it was time to go and see the main attraction in Mackinaw City, the Mackinac Bridge. We visited both the lower peninsula and the upper peninsula sides to catch a good look at the bridge and the surrounding water.
Finally, at night I went back to the bridge to see it all lit up at night. While it was hard to see in the dark, what I could see was beautiful.
In conclusion, I think Mackinaw City is pretty fun place to visit. It reminds me of a cross between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Frankenmuth, Michigan. I do think, however, that some of the areas around Mackinaw are a little dated and could use some work.

MY BIKE WAS STOLEN ON MACKINAC ISLAND!! || MICHIGAN VLOG
Today I had to run an errand and discovered that my bike was missing. I have no idea where it is because it's not where I parked and locked it. Then I wanted to do a stair workout but couldn't find the stairs. Turns out I walked a mile and a half past them. I worked out on a bench instead. After that, I was starving and ordered a blue cheese hamburger from Chuckwagon. I hope you enjoyed the video!

Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækɨnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to a Native American settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position amidst the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

MACKINAC BRIDGE VIEW!!! | TEE PEE CAMPGROUND | Mackinaw City MI | Fulltime RV Living | 10/10/17
Great Mackinac bridge view from our spot at the Tee Pee campground in Mackinaw City, Michigan. It was chilly with the wind blowing off the lake but we would not trade this view for anything. Watch as we cross the mackinaw bridge pulling the RV!!!
[Wikipedia] Skull Cave (Mackinac Island)
Skull Cave is a small and shallow cave on the central heights of Mackinac Island in Michigan, USA. The cave was carved during the Algonquin post-glacial period by the waters of Lake Algonquin, a swollen meltwater ancestor of today's Lake Huron.
Skull Cave is primarily of interest for its historical associations. It is believed to have been used as an inhumation site by Native Americans of the Straits of Mackinac area in the 18th century.
While in active use as a site for human remains, the cave was also used as a refuge in 1763 by fur trader Alexander Henry, a survivor of the capture of Fort Michilimackinac by Native Americans during Pontiac's War. In his Memoirs, Henry recalled a night spent as a refugee in the bone-strewn cavern.
Henry recalled his ordeal as follows:
On going into the cave, of which the entrance was nearly ten feet wide, I found the further end to be rounded in its shape, like that of an oven, but with a further aperture, too small, however, to be explored. After thus looking around me, I broke small branches from the trees and spread them for a bed, then wrapped myself in my blanket and slept till day-break. On awaking, I felt myself incommoded by some object upon which I lay, and, removing it, found it to be a bone. This I supposed to be that of a deer, or some other animal, and what might very naturally be looked for in the place in which I was; but when daylight visited my chamber I discovered, with some feelings of horror, that I was lying on nothing less than a heap of human bones and skulls, which covered the floor!
Skull Cave is contained within Mackinac Island State Park. It is located 0.4 miles (0.6 km) north of Fort Mackinac in the island's interior. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on January 12, 1959, and granted state historical marker #L0004.

ℹ️About the episode:
Oh, you missed it! This is a phrase we've been accustom to hearing. Most RVers get this a lot because it's impossible to see everything and we all have different interests. During our visit to Michigan in Season 1, we missed Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula. But the season, we came back to experience both. This time, we missed Traverse City and Tahquamenon Falls, but I'm sure we'll be back to Michigan again and we saved some for later.
As we mentioned in the video, we're enjoying spending quality time in fewer places than trying to see everything and feeling rushed and wishing we had more time.

So what sorts of adventures await you in the UP? The trees conceal the fact that this is a land of waterways. There are lakes, rivers, streams, and springs all over. Want to see waterfalls, you've come to the right place! The UP has plenty of them, and pretty ones at that! There are so many in fact that our kids started to complain every time we said we were going to see another one. Though they loved the ones they could play in.
Want to go to the beach...no problem. The UP is surrounded by three of the Great Lakes. If you've never seen the Great Lakes you owe it to yourself to experience these massive bodies of water. It's just like going to the ocean, except it's not salty, and Look Ma, no Sharks!
There are many boat tours around the Great Lakes that are really cool. We did a glass bottom boat tour, to see some of Lake Superiors many shipwrecks. Yes you heard right, shipwrecks. Thousands of ships have been sunk on the great lakes, and their clear waters make it possible to see and even scuba dive around many of them.
If you want to go boating but control your own destiny, consider Kayaking. In Michigan we discovered and fell in love with kayaking. Our Airbnb rental came with several kayaks and was right on the river. We spent almost every day paddling up and down the Au Train River, and couldn't get enough. The rivers excluded, The Great Lakes themselves have some world class kayaking destinations, such as the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, and Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore in the UP itself.
If you don't feel like going by boat, the National Lake Shore is also accessible by land, and offers sweeping vistas of the lake, amazing hiking, and places to camp.
If you are in to Rock-hounding, This area offers some interesting finds, such as Lake Superior Agates and Petoskey stones. We found both without much effort.
Another fun thing to do in the UP is to visit Kitch-iti-Kipi or Big Spring, Michigan's largest natural freshwater spring. The spring is crystal clear and full of giant fish. There's a floating pavilion on the spring that you can take out to the middle where you stare down through 42 feet of crystal clear water straight to the bottom. You can see the sandy floor bubbling and boiling as 16,000 gallons of spring water bubble up per minute. It's really cool.
we definitely recommend getting at least a pasty or two while you're up here. They are tasty as heck, and a Yooper staple.
Lastly, perhaps my favorite thing that we did while we were here in the UP was to just stroll through the forest. The UP is covered in beautiful deciduous forest. Most of it is fairly young as forest goes, because much of it has been logged in the past. Regardless there is something about the shimmering sunlight coming down through the Beech and Birch trees that is just magical on a sunny afternoon. You almost expect to see a hobbit slipping silently away as you go up and down the hills and into gentle valleys. There is life everywhere under the golden green canopy of these woods, and for a nature lover, I couldn't get enough.
So there you have it, Nine things to do in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Did we leave something out? Let us know in the comments.
Michigan
Diplomat at the U.S. Embassy Vienna Mark Bland talks about his home state of Michigan. #50states #MI
Transcript:
Known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan looks like a hand, and is easily identifiable on any map of the United States and also from outer space. It's located in the northern Midwest of the USA and borders the Canadian province of Ontario. Michigan is called the Wolverine State and is divided into two peninsulas with a land area of 150,000 square kilometers. The word Michigan (pronounced Mishigan, not Mitchigan), comes from the Native American word Mishigamaa, which means large lake. Michigan has the longest freshwater coast in the world: more than 5200km of shoreline. With its population of almost 10 million, Michigan is the 8th most populous state in the United States. Almost 40% of the state's population lives near Detroit, the largest city, while only 3% live in the entire Upper Peninsula.
The French discovered Michigan in the 1600s and founded the city of Detroit in 1701. During the 1700s control of Michigan alternated between the French, the British, and the local Native Americans. In 1796 the British finally abandoned Detroit and their forts on the Great Lakes. Michigan became a territory in 1805 and the 26th state in January
1837.
Michigan is known primarily for two things: automobiles and its beautiful nature.
At the beginning of the 1900s Henry Ford revolutionized auto production by developing the moving assembly line. He and his fellow auto manufacturers (Olds, Buick, Dodge, and others) helped transform private life in the United States and created an economic boom in Michigan that attracted immigrants from all over the world. Today, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford still produce almost 25% of all cars made in the United States. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Michigan also builds 50% of all office furniture made in the USA, and is home to Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, and Kellogg's, all of which manufacture products people worldwide use on a daily basis.
As a native Michigander, I am proud of my state's beautiful scenery. Tourism is one of Michigan's largest industries. Tourists in Michigan spend around $17 billion per year visiting the state's amazing nature and its cultural heritage. Among our most spectacular sites are the Sleeping Bear sand dunes along Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island (a uniquely historical island free of automobiles), the Mackinaw Straits bridge (at 8km in length it is the world's third largest suspension bridge), and the Upper Peninsula with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Porcupine Mountains, Tahquamenon Falls, and Isle Royale National Park. Michigan has over 11,000 lakes and is a paradise for fishing, hunting, canoeing, skiing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. We also have several thousand kilometers of pristine beaches with white sand and crystal clear aquamarine water. The climate is ideal for the production of cherries, apples, and Christmas trees—all of which are products that Michigan exports in large quantity across the United States.
Culturally and educationally Michigan also distinguishes itself. Our 15 public universities, 56 private colleges, and 28 public community colleges attract large numbers of foreign students due to their diverse curricula, high academic standards, and pleasant learning environment. Our largest city, Detroit, is home to the Henry Ford Museum, historical Dearborn Village, and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. The Detroit Symphony and Detroit
Opera House enjoy an international reputation. Finally, Michigan has contributed its fair share to the music world, beginning with Motown Records in the 1960s and continuing up through Eminem and Madonna, both of whom are native Michiganders.
So come visit Michigan and enjoy our beautiful nature, friendly people, and many cultural offerings. We'd be happy to host you!
Sleeping Bear Dunes | Traverse City History
The ice age and glacial retreat nearly 12,000 years ago shaped the land, lakes and forests of northern Michigan. Perched dunes tower above 35 miles of crystal blue Lake Michigan coastline - a contrast so large and majestic it can be seen from space. This land, now known as Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake-shore, played an important role in attracting visitors to northern Michigan.

Winter Comes to Michigan
This 1930s-era newsreel was recently discovered by sisters Nancy and Barbara Sleeper of Newberry, whose grandfather, Sanborn Sleeper, was the superintendent of the Luce County Road Commission from 1928 until sometime around World War II. The Sleepers donated the film to MDOT for public display. Enjoy this glimpse of the era when Murray Van Wagoner, a future Michigan governor, ran the department from 1933-1940.
