That's the island where no motor vehicles are allowed; horse drawn vehicles only, right?

Plus snowmobiles in the winter. It's a great visit in late June - August; clear blue water, quiet atmosphere. The island hasn't changed much, but the two neighboring cities (St. Ignace and Mackinaw City) have really quieted down a lot.

Nice. Miss main campus - my last two years were at East Campus, didn't like that move.

But I'm sure I got the photo right...that's Tucson, shot from SW of downtown.
