This one took a little over 3 years to build with no winter construction and its still an awe inspiring sight.

Did you know that the old car elevator is still in Mackinaw City at the ferry docks from when the car ferry was in operation? My father told me several years ago that it is there, you can see it easiest while driving southbound, off to the east. It looks like it’s two or three stories high. I can’t make it out in the pic you posted, but it would be just off to the left of the bridge in the upper right corner of that photo, on the point of land that sticks out.

I’ve never seen an aerial shot of this before! Pretty cool.

The story of the building of the Mac is quite something. I saw a documentary on it, I believe on History (back when they did history).
