Isolation

Yesterday was the rare kind of day that makes
Mackinac Island feel isolated.

No ice.
No boats.
No planes.

Just fog
and quiet.

The mainland might as well
be a million miles away...

    I feel that way when we have the big storms and the ferries and the planes all stop. Then I realize that no matter how big, we're still on an island.

    Too funny - I just picked up a murder mystery set in Mackinac Island. Can't wait to read it!

    It looks kind of peaceful from the photo but I imagine it's hard to get where you are trying to go with such dense fog. Hope the fog lifts today and that you have a lovely Wednesday!!

    I would like to spend a year on the island. I think it would be theraputic. :) Love reading about Island life!

    Some days I dream of moving to an island like yours, away from the busy Bay Area.

    Enjoy the isolation.

    Hi Liz, I am a lurker on your blog and I love it! Great picture also! Question~ I am a hairdresser and I was wondering is there a salon on the Island during the winter that is open? I always wondered that. Thanks so much!

    Hi Michelle,

    There are actually three salons. Two are owned by one company - 7th Heaven. They have a salon at Mission Point Resort and one beneath the Gate House restaurant. The Grand Hotel also has a salon.

    7th Heaven below the Gate House stays open all winter.

    Oh, that type of isolation sounds about perfect to me right now. I so miss living on an Island!
