I'd be tempted to camp on that bridge lol. Lunch at least.
Other than the Mac my first time, and a few high wind crosings in my van the o nly bridge that made me say "oh $41+" was the Chicago Skyway. A 55speed limit, I was doing 70 in the slow lane and being passed by traffic like I was standing still....in a hot rodded VW van with Porsche power train.
There's been family land in the UP O Mi for generations not counting my native blood. My pals family founded much of the land from Alpena to Indian River to Mackinaw City to Cheboygan and Mullet lake. Roads and beaches have their name. A long drive from Detroit too, but even just a night and a day on a weekend were always worth it to me. My love for upper Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota and even Canada is something that went unequaled till I discovered the mountains of the east. This wilderness is flatter, but equal in beauty. The glaciers really mixed the soils and terrain well and it's normally much cooler than even 30-40 miles south of the Straits. The UP tourist trade dropped with the use of air conditioning IMO. Imagine a quick dip in the 50 degree water of Superior during a heatwave while looking at the Pictured Rocks and snacking on wild berries of all sorts.. Its as much heaven as the mountains.
Another interesting spot near St Ignance on the way to Sault St Marie (Soo) is called Castle Rock. Privately owned for a token fee, you can climb it's stairs to look out over the land from the same place the native scouts did long ago.
Ask me or DNR to find the good ponds in the woods near there if you fish 
and watch out for deer, moose, and logging trucks on the back roads! And mind the campfire status if at all dry, pine goes up easy.
Then there is the locks to the St Lawrence Seaway, the Soo RR, Pierre Marquette leftovers and narrow gauge ghost towns, boring to some, but not to me.
Mark I'd be dissapointed if you passed by and didn't at least say hello. Anything you need, if I can pull it off, you got it!!
Interesting in I revel in my being a little different sure. Folks tend to love me or hate me for it, lol. I'm usually quite till I break out of my shell, let loose hot air, then shut up again to gain steam pressure again. I've been told I missed my calling not being a teacher, or parent. I still often relate better with kids. I tend to treat them as shorter peers as I hated being talked down to by adults. It buys me respect and I seldom had to put a foot down.
I was once very active, and only needed a place to sleep, then would start again immediately once rested. I lost the majority of my more recent friends and family to various illness etc in a very short period of time leaving me with no real support and thought iId get back to work to "catch up". I've mentioned some other things privately that have held back progress and the fun" hasn't stopped, but I'm not giving up. Add that to my independent nature and you get a shut in with occasional cabin fever. My apologies to any victims reading.
Which reminds me anyone hear from PW Pappy at all lately? Even "elsewhere"? I'd hate to think he's given up on sneaking trains into his room for himself.
) ...but I'd paint it like solid stone and leave it barren there. It also kind of reminds me of the last time I saw myself from an overhead camera, but my bald spot is new, even though I'm feeling "old as the hills";..surprise!
