Bridge Walk

Last week on the island so finally the "babes" got together...

-Val, me and Margaret.
-The bridge on one of the last bikes around the island this season.







Then came the bridge walk. After being downstate, I decided to stay on the mainland and take the bus across for the first time.
-Jenny and I, after waking up at 4 a.m. getting an early start in Mac City for the festivities.













-Jenny and I sitting in the back seats of a Harbor Springs bus. We figured we were never the cool kids in school who did that, so we were going to try it now. Really, not as exciting as we thought.

-Since we got an early start we went to find Kim, who was one of the 50 who were swimming across the span!
-A beautiful morning for a stroll.


-Me, Heather, Jenny and Peggy ready for a walk.
-...so are our feet.













-I think this is Kim's group from the bridge.
-That's a lotta people. Oh, the humanity.







-Walking on the grate of the bridge.


-Coming up to the north (and best) tower.
-The north tower.


-Peggy, Jenny and Heather say "yes" to Michigan (okay, we're all Michigan geeks who were saying "Pure Michigan," too).
-At the finish line with our nifty certificates.


-At the end of the swim. The guys with the finish line had to run up and down the beach with the banner to get to the swimmers.
-Kim coming in (with the yellow cap).

-Kim at the finish line.
