A StreetView view of the Mackinack Bridge

A few days ago the daily image on Bing.com featured the Mackinack race, which is a sailboat race from Chicago to Mackinack Island (basically most of the length of Lake Michigan).  This is stated to be the longest freshwater sailing race in the world.

By the way, if you don't know, "Mackinack" is pronounced "Mack-ih-NAW".

This made me wonder if the famous Straits of Mackinack bridge could be see from Mackinack Island.  Now, there are no cars on Mackinack Island, but they got a StreetView rig out their somehow.   So here is a view of the bridge from the island, and view on the bridge.  I'm saving the Mackinack Point lighthouse for next week's Lighthouse of the Week.

I'm going to get back on Highway 41 this weekend.  I still need to get to Michigan that way.

On the bridge.  If you turn the viewpoint of the view to the right,  i.e., that way →, you can see what I think is Mackinack Island.  At least that's where it should be.
