I was born and raised in Michigan and my parents were born in the northern Lower Peninsula.
I was stationed in North Dakota for too many years and I would take my two weeks of leave and drag my family to my parents place near the Manistee National forest. While driving on US Highway 2 when I saw the bridge towers I would know I was only a couple hours from home.
I loved driving over the bridge.
Very cool!
I’m between Holland & Grand Haven myself. Have a small piece of land in Kalkaska County (near Traverse City) I dearly love, and always enjoy checking to see if the Bridge is still there....
