Welcome to the Clown Brigade, Piute!  We just got back from a 4-day tour to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Copper Harbor), and we saw around six others wearing florescent vests, similar to what you posted, and the construction worker type, that we wear.  They make a very real difference in car drivers spotting you.  Live to ride, ride to live!  Cheers!

  Copper Harbor End of hwy 41 i THINK it is ,Yea It's to dang nice up there Did you cross the bridge to get there,can't think of that bridge between upper N lower Mich.
 I came from central Wis. when went to Copper Harbor,but went to that bridge for an anniversary of it .

Right on with US Highway 41 ending there.  Don't remember the bridge, unless it is in Houghton, the one with the steel grate?  Didn't enjoy that part, especially the 15 MPH curve, uphill, shortly North, after the bridge...

I scoped out the Keweenaw Peninsula with satellite images, but I could not tell what the roads that went to the tip of the peninsula were like:  paved, gravel, or dirt?  Turns out the road that goes beyond US 41's turn-around, is all dirt, and it takes 45 minutes to reach its end, by car (AWD, or 4WD would be the best, IMO).  We took the obligatory photo's of ourselves standing next to the sign showing the entire length of US 41, with the other end in Florida.

We tried to reach Copper Harbor back in '09, when we circled Lake Superior, but the winds on the road up the Keweenaw Peninsula, were too strong that day, so we turned around halfway.  We took five days off, to make the trip, with time to enjoy it, but we only needed four days; spent yesterday working on the Honda, prepping it for a buyer to look at tonight.  Cheers!

THIS BRIDGE was there when they could walk across ,NOT ME



Mackinac Bridge Information

The famous bridge spans the two peninsulas of Michigan and connects Mackinaw City with St. Ignace. This bridge, which "couldn't be built", is five miles long and is the worlds longest total suspension bridge.

 It is on Labor Day only that any foot travel is allowed for the thousands of walkers who make the trip from St. Ignace to Mackinaw City each year. The magnificent view from the bridge includes both peninsulas and Mackinac, Round, and Bois Blanc islands



  IT IS A SIGHT TO SEE St.Ignace is a really nice place .Big party evetry year at this time of year
