Bridge Walk

Today I walked across the Mackinac "Mighty Mac" Bridge. I wasn't really planning on it. Originally I took my camera to work so I could take pics of the bridge walk right after work. I got down there and just felt the rush of excitement, so I joined in.
It was great to walk accross that bridge and admire the work of the iron workers from 50 years ago. The only politicking that was going on was when I got off the bridge there were some protestors holking signs that said impeach Bush and whatnot. Ron Paul supporters were there, handing out fliers. I do have to give them credit for motivation and being there. One of the unions was having a picnic and they had a big ol Hillary sign.
I will report more tomorrow and show pictures. To read more about the walk click on the article in the Freep.

• UPDATED AT 6:50 P.M.: MACKINAW CITY — Daniel Geske was only 4 years old when he trudged across the newly constructed Mackinac Bridge nearly a half-century ago. On Monday, he was back — with lots more company than before.
  About 57,000 people walked, jogged or wheeled over the 5-mile-long span linking Michigan’s lower and upper peninsulas, while 50 others added a new twist to the Labor Day ritual by swimming across the straits below.
  “I’m just proud to be here, and I anticipate being here for the 75th year, too,” said Daniel Geske, 53, of Grand Rapids, who made the crossing with a half-dozen family membersThe walk continued a 50th anniversary celebration for the world’s third-largest suspension bridge. The crowd was larger than in recent years, prompting officials to keep the walking period open longer.People usually are required to begin between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. This time, those bringing up the rear didn’t get under way until about 3 p.m. Some had waited up to three hours in Mackinaw City for bus rides to the starting point on the bridge’s northern end.
