Mackinac Island
Located where the waters of Lakes Huron and Michigan meet at the impasse of Michigan’s peninsulas, you can only get to Mackinac Island by boat. That gives the painfully picturesque, tiny island the quality of feeling lost somewhere in time… not unlike the movie famously filmed on the island, Somewhere in Time. Mackinac Island is all about biking, shopping, and eating, as well as gawking at all the pastel-colored historic Victorian homes, marveling at the absence of motorized vehicles, and dodging road apples from all the horse-drawn carriages. Touristy, yes. Magical? Undoubtedly. It’s basically a Michigan beach town theme park.

With tomorrow being Leap Day, check out Lover’s Leap on Mackinac Island in Michigan, “The Island of Romance.” The first picture shows Lover’s Leap in the distance, and the next two pictures show more photos of the island. On the map, this spot can be found just north of Mission Point on the southeast part of the island.
The photos were taken by Robert S. Platt in 1919, and the map was made by the Arnold Transit Company in 1950. The map shows ferry routes for the summer months.
