"Caravanning the Mackinaw Trail"
Northern Michigan
Sept. 16-21, 2007

The rally was a "rolling rally", starting at the Music House Museum in Acme, MI, heading north along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan to Mackinaw City, across the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and ending at the Soo locks in Sault Saint Marie. The weather for the rally was absolutely perfect - sunny days with very comfortable temperatures.

Our rally masters were Noel and Dick McGarrity and Penny and Ron Kimmey. They did a great job; everything went very smoothly and according to plan. Thanks, Noel, Dick, Penny, and Ron!

At this point we needed to head home, so we separated from the "Loosey-Goosey" rally extension. Those remaining plan to head further west to the Porcupine Mountains for one last day.
