#RideSheplers
Oops 😂
and it was a beautiful thing
nice veiw
So many fond memories!
Where are they sitting?
Purchased an anniversary sweatshirt on the Island in October. Celebrating the movie. "Somewhere in Time on Mackinac Island"
The original photo bomb...lol
You've aged quite well... 🙂
I have enjoyed my time on Shepler's. Everything was very professional. Best of luck for many more years.
That's back when Shepler's ran a paddle wheel steamboat.
Great movie
Love that story
Watch out for that penny...
Hard to believe it’s been 40 years
Loved this movie❤️💕
My favorite movie which took me to stay at The Grand!! 💗
I REMEMBER THAT, IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE
Never noticed that, have to go back and watch it again.
What year was the movie made ?
One of my favorite movies
I love this movie!!
I watched them film that movie, when I was in 6th grade.
Oops!

Was this picture taken in Mackinaw City? Isn't that the hotel in the background?
While we wait for the ice to thaw, our favorite horse teams are still hard at work making deliveries on Mackinac Island!
Is the Grand Hotel closed in the winter
My stent on the island when it was like this didn't go well for me. I chuckle because its just my luck. I was working for the Grand at the time. I fell on ice, as many of us did going up the hill. Broke a rib in that event and did some damage to my left leg. I had to leave a great job and go home totally defeated. I love the island but will not come back during the winter LOL Sure is beautiful though.
I hope these sweet babies get a vacation before the busy season starts. 🏖
I found out all or most all of the horse's are or were trained by the Amish.
I see motorized vehicles in the pix. ! !
I would love to rent a place up there for one winter. I think that would be a great experience.
My favorites in the summer to💜
They love to pull.
Nice winter scenes of Mackinac Island.
Wish that I was there!
Awesome pictures ❤️
Love these "gentle giants"! 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴

Remember riding around the island with light snow and sleet pelting down.
Can’t wait to come back❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the horses!

Would you brave the top of the Mighty Mac if given the opportunity?? Not ideal for those fearful of heights. 🙂

The best view in Michigan: Ascending the towers of the Mackinac Bridge
www.detroitnews.com
It’s a view that few get to see: only 281 people (not including those who work on the bridge) got to go to the top in 2018It is hard enough to cross the bridge let alone go through the claustrophobia of getting to the top! No way. Even this picture makes me woozie!
No I wouldn’t. I was ecstatic when the ferry went under the bridge on our way to the island last August! 😂
I’m in!! Congrats on the new boat, Chris.
Hell yes!!
Yes I would
Mark Gauthier
Not for me, but appreciate those who go to the top and take pictures for we that are phobic.
I could deal with the heights part, but there is not enough Xanax in the world that could get me past the claustrophobic part of climbing to the top. Hell just watching Dirty Jobs back in the day made me ill.
It’s on my bucket list.
I did this with my sister several years ago. The tower is very narrow and feels a little claustrophobic but within a minute or so we had climbed up the ladder and out the top. Amazing; amazing! If you go you will never look at the bridge the same way again. Once accomplished, my trek to the top of the bridge made my experience of the bridge feel far more personal and intimate.
Absolutely!
Love the bridge, but NO 😳🙂
My son did it
Wouldn't hesitate.
One of my greatest moments, it was great.
Given the chance... Absolutely... where do I sign up?
Yep, I've done it 3 times.
Been up to the top before!!! WHAT a sight!!!
Please!!!!!!
Done it, & I would do it again in a heartbeat. Amazing!
Beautiful pic and view..but, no, I would not go up there
Sad day in the straights today. Due to the current ice conditions, we have had to cease winter service until further notice. We will keep everyone up to date with any further developments. We look forward to seeing you all again soon once the ice thaws. Until then, take a look at this video that Captain Sid was able to film before we were frozen in!
Best Wishes over the Winter.... stay warm. 🌷
coming hot. be safe and stay warm
Stay warm and safe
Stay safe guys.
See you in the fall
Be safe.
That's a lot of frozen water.
Keep safe.
For "mild" winter's such as this year, has the Island ever considered installing "bubblers?"
Rick Johnson Johnson it’s ice bridge time! 😎
Katherine Stead we're gonna haff to wait....⚓️
