Who has walked the Big Mac?

onefarmer · Sep 3, 2012

Michigan's Mackinac Bridge that is.

Just got home from walking the 5 mile span this morning, me and my son. From jump out of the car in St Ignace to jump in, in Mackinaw City, was about 6 miles and took 1hr 35min, average walking speed was 3 mph

We did it a few years ago. It is a great experience.

Never walked it but took the City of Petoskey and Vacationland ferrys many a time.

I've never walked it but I've driven over it several times. I bet a walk would be nice. Gerald

I've never walked , but driven over many times, once with my D17 Allis in 2008.

Congrats to you and your son. Looked at the attachment and couldn't help but notice that the first thing listed under 'Not Allowed' was smoking. I don't understand the need for that prohibition. I'm a ex-smoker.

Dad used to do it. We went to Howard City to the flea market today. I'm sure I walked 6 miles,just didn't get anywhere.

i used to when i was young, but i never really liked water and the sight of all those school buses gave me a feeling of impending doom. chekin out the chiks with my friends kept me going back but now i'm too tired to walk it and chekin out the chiks almost makes me tired.

I never understood people doing things like that. Reminds me of lemmings. Takes all kinds to make this world up I guess, to each their own!

I walked it a few times years ago with the Boy Scouts.
Rode over it for the Blessing of the Bikes once.
I love the view.
Still haven't made it up there with a tractor, but I might.
Although I'm not planning on driving my tractor all the way up there! :lol:

IHRedRules · Sep 3, 2012

Walked it 3, maybe 4 times, and drove my tractor over it twice.

Never walked it, but drove my 1944 JD B over in the first bridge crossing.

Ive had a big Mac attack, it comes a half hour after you eat one!

I never walked it, but rode my Harley over it a couple of times, just getting from one side to the other. Looking down through the grating at road speed kinda makes it look like nothing is beneath you except air, then water a long, long way down.

You talkin about me? I leave in seven day's! One of the things on my bucket list.

Why are umbrellas banned? Also, why ban smoking in the open air but have school buses passing within a few feet, pushing out exhaust smoke?

Can you vision the amount of butts on cig butts on the ground?

onefarmer · Sep 4, 2012

With the crowd being packed so tight, it just makes sense. If the person next to me was smoking, it would be blowing right on me. Buses realy din't have much smell. I'd rather smell occasional diesel exhaust anyway. Umbrellas make sense too. Just lifting an elbow would touch someone. I'd not want to get poked by an umbrella.

On a side note they said the Gov made it across in an hour and six minutes. He must be in better shape than me or my son.

Royse · Sep 4, 2012

That area is always VERY windy. Umbrellas would become missile hazards.
Probably the same with cigarette butts, besides the smoke factor.

Definitely had you in mind Row Crop!
Hope you enjoy the trip!
