Michigan turned into one of our longest stretches in one state, and it is the one people ask about most.

The scenery first: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sugar Loaf Mountain near Marquette, and the night the northern lights came out over the Mackinac Bridge, which we did not plan and still cannot quite believe.

Then the rest of it. Why everyone is going to the Upper Peninsula, what surprised us on Mackinac Island, the Festival of the Angry Bear, and a zip line we did not go looking for.
