Educatin' and Learnin' 'bout Mackinac...


 There is an explanation for the difference in pronunciation and spelling,  and it goes something like this.  Settlers of the area vs. Indians of the area had their own ideas of how it should be. 

This is the Mackinac Bridge which connects the lower and upper peninsulas of Michigan. When on the bridge headed north; theoretically, Lake Michigan is on your left and Lake Huron on your right.  I am certain you remember HOMES:  Lakes Huron, Ontario. Michigan, Erie and Superior. 

I share a small map of the area in which Mackinac Island rests. Put on your glasses , study it carefully...test to follow.  The blue circle identifies Mackinac Island.

I trust this will help clarify just where Mackinac Island is located.
