Just get an ordinary ticket at your favorite Mackinac Island ferry (currently about $22), cross over to Mackinac Island, wander around and enjoy the sights for as long as you like or have time for, then take the return ferry to St. Ignace instead of going back to Mackinaw City. This is what my brother and I did the time president George Bush Sr. walked the bridge in 1992, and the line for a bus was so long I would have missed work if I had waited. <br /><br />This is also the official way across the straits for bicylists following US Bicycle Route 35.

He said no but referred us to John's Grocery in Iowa City. Their website is www.johnsgrocery.com. They have a huge inventory of beers (including Bell's Oberon) that they will ship. We're not sure which states have "reciprocal" agreements but its an option.Great Lakes Cruisinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638036214340495109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359891621538614424.post-43093500246893014642007-09-05T20:10:00.000-07:002007-09-05T20:10:00.000-07:00Ahh, Oberon Ale.
