Outdoor enthusiast, history buffs and sightseers will all discover many wonderful places along the newly designed Sunrise Side Costal Highway. This 200 mile stretch of US-23 rambles through welcoming villages in six counties form Sstandish(about 45 miles north of Saginaw) all the way to the beautiful Mackinac Bridge. At Mackinc, you can go hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing and swimming...in the summer of course. You can also tour the famous lighthouses, as well as some very ornate lumber barons' homes.

Still running

When Henry Ford made his first cars, he made them to last! You will most likely see many such old restored cars on the roads in Michigan, especially in the summer. So, keep your eyes out; it also makes for fun 'road games' with the kids, to see who can spot the most of these old cars while traveling along the road while on holiday:):)
I spotted this one in a parking lot with the unusual license plate that said:
"Looking for Good Woman! Must be able to clean, cook, sew,restore and polish automobiles. Please send pictures of car and garage!"
I bet this guy is still looking!!!

Harley Davidson Road Rally

When I was a little girl in gradeschool, my parents had a summer place in Meridith, Michigan, along the road where thousands of Harley riders passed by on their way to their final rally point at Westbranch, Michigan. I remember that I was in awe of these huge motorcycles and their leather-clad riders! This rally still takes place once a year in Michigan. It takes place around the last week in July. Nowadays, the riders look strangely older?? But the clothes are still...heavy black leather with those wonderful silver studs!
Check out this lovely red number, parked in a local parking lot! Also, check out the gas price! That was 2004! This year, 2005, the price has gone up to $2.38! How far will it go???
Maybe that's why the motorcycle never goes out of fashion!
