Labor Day Bridge Walk 2008

This was my 6th year, hubby's 2nd year and Tom & Steve's 1st year participating in the annual walk across the Mackinac Bridge. The weekend was perfect! Here's our time-table

7:34 got in line to board bus


8:00 arrived in cattle corral

8:14 purchased our tickets

8:22 boarded bus

8:28 arrived at the south end of the Mackinac Bridge

8:54 arrived at the north end - last potty break for the next couple of hours

9:12 took our first step out to join the Bridge Walk



9:45 arrived at the "grate" part of the Big Mac

9:53 passed under the first "support"

10:03 stepped over the "line" from the upper to lower peninsula



10:11 passed under the 2nd "support"



10:46 stepped on the part of the bridge built over land



10:52 crossed the finish line



We even had matching shirts, the bottom line on the back and the little bit on the front says "No Whining, No Stopping, Just Keep On Walking."


One hour 40 minutes - pretty good time - we actually walked slowly (catering to my foot) and enjoyed the beauty of the scenery around us - with our feet firmly planted on the ground.


I hope you enjoyed our pics.
