A team of horses. Three of these 2,000-2,500 pound horses were required to pull the large carriages.

    When our carriage ride ended, we were dropped off at Historic Fort Mackinac. We wandered around inside the fort walls for an hour or so, attempting to complete as much of Tyler's homework as we could before running out of time. After struggling to get all of the answers we finally gave up and just went about enjoying the fort. I also looked for a specific tree with a "U" shaped branch to take a picture of Tyler on, just like we did in 2004 during our last visit.

Fort Mackinac

The "Historic Site" sign for Fort Mackinac.

The avenue of flags leading to the fort entrance where we were dropped off in the carriage.

The "North Blockhouse", the first location Tyler had to survey to complete his homework.

A sign describing the history of the flags that flew over Fort Mackinac.

A view looking down the wall of the fort.

Looking out the fort at town.

A view of the Grand Hotel golf course from inside the fort. Somebody still has money to burn in this economy, as evidenced by the house being built in the lower right of the photo.

This was the tree that I was on a mission to find.  This is the picture we took during our last visit... Tyler's 2004 Visit.

A view out of the fort looking at the harbor.

One of the kids assignments while on the island was to spot a seagull on the statue of Jacques Marquette. This was proof that they did.
