Stop and smell the lilacs

Let me introduce you to a little island between Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas. The name, once ‘Mitchimakinak’ now shortened to Mackinac, comes from the Native American word for “Great Turtle.” If you pronounce the ‘c’ in front of me, prepare to be ostracized. You can only visit Mackinac by ferry, meaning there are no cars.
