Speaking of taking a break from technology, I visited Shipshewana, Indiana which has the second or third largest Amish/Mennonite population in the US. It was a charming place, not yet spoiled by large chain stores. Sure there was a Taco Bell and a Phillips 66, but everything else was family/Amish owned. I felt like I stepped back in time to another land, it was incredible.

One of my favorite places in the universe! Wish I could afford to live there! I stayed on the island for 7weeks with my sister in law in 1994. She was cook and managed it for the summer at Bay View B&B owned by friends of my brother and sister-in-law. I worked there cleaning rooms and washing clothes. Best working vacation ever! I didn’t want to come home!

You have to do the U. P, (Upper Michigan) Lots of waterfalls and old mining towns like Calumet and Copper Harbor. M-22 along the Northeast coast of the Mitten is an excellent drive. Lots of distinctive small to medium sized towns each with its own distinctive personality and amazing views of Lake Michigan, cherry orchards and wineries, and Sleeping Bear Dunes.

This place is very beautiful but way overcrowded and overpriced. Why on earth do people bring their kids here is beyond me. There is literally nothing on the island but ice cream and fudge that they would even be remotely interested in. It’s only appealing to grown ups.

Intimidate, that's all they know how to do. Even when they know they are wrong they double down on the intimidation to get you to fold, that's cause they do this on every encounter and that's their norm and it works. Know your rights!

We just got back from St. Ignace yesterday, we spent four nights there, rode bikes around the Mackinac Island. Sunday we drove up to Munising for the pictured rocks cruise on Lake Superior, I'm still on cloud nine, wonderful vacation!

Northern Michigan is a summer paradise! So much to do and so much natural beauty. It often doesn't get the respect it deserves. Thanks for the wonderful video and thank you for your service to our great country.

My sister lives in Naples Florida and we go there in the winter. She comes up here in the summer she lived all of her life until she retired from teaching school. It’s a nice trade don’t you think

Love Mackinac Island and its charm. My first big girl vacation was to Mackinac Island. My first cat was named Fudgie. Fudgie is a term of endearment and what the year round residents call the tourists.

Haven't been to Mackinac Island since I was a kid, 25 to 30 years ago. Great memories of family trips up north. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Great job on these videos!

Yet another education! My mother was from Michigan, but I've never been that far back east. I've wanted to see Mackinaw Island ever since Somewhere in Time came out.

Did I really see a Starbucks at the 10 second mark That is very disappointing. There are so many other coffee shops on that island.

I've heard of Mackinaw Island but I never knew there weren't any vehicles on it. What about emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire trucks

Yikes way too many people. It gives me anxiety. I wish there was a place as charming as this but without the people.

Please stop calling the Lower Peninsula the mainland. There is no mainland. Makes the UP sound like some desolate place.
