Mackinac Bridge Walk - Labor Day - Sept. 1, 2003
|
|
|
Day before the big walk - staging area where you board the school buses for the ride to St. Ignace.
|
|
About 6:30 a.m. going through the staging to the buses....
|
|
A little later, a litte brighter....
|
|
I can see the buses!!
|
|
Morning sunrise - Our reward for rising early to board the buses!
|
|
Here we go, we're on the bridge - 8:00 a.m.
|
|
A kindly National Guard took a picture of Jim and Mary!
|
|
Approaching the first tower...going uphill!!
|
|
Looking through the grates! A gentleman walking near us, dropped a coin through and timed it....took 11 seconds to hit the wate
|
|
Towering first tower
|
|
Still heading uphill....towards the second tower
|
|
People watching us, watching them on top the second tower!
|
|
The crowd keeps coming and coming.....
|
|
An hour and 20 minutes later, I see the finish line - collect my completion certificate and find me a bathroom, please!!
|
|
Leaving Mackinaw City - walkers still walking....
|
|
There's the bathrooms...the lines were really long!!
