Our Big Bridge is currently the world's third longest suspension bridge (it is five miles long). You can read lots of interesting facts about the bridge at this website

I took this photo last year on a trip up to take delivery of some sheep ;)

Cary, when they finished and dedicated the bridge, my high school (Cedarville in the UP) band marched through Mackinaw City to it. I was the majorette. (and how old am I?)
