When our time arrived, we boarded a carriage for the
Mackinac Island Carriage Tour Company's tour of the island. We got on in the
downtown section, directly across from the Arnold Transit Co. dock. We made our
way down Market Street, past the island's school and the Grand Hotel before
stopping at Surrey Hill to transfer carriages. These pictures are from the first
part of our tour...
