Mackinac Bridge Crossing Pictures

Just a few pictures of the bridge crossing tractor drive. I have heard that there were over eleven hundred tractors this year but I have not been able to get the official count. There will be more and better pictures later as I was not in the greatest position to get the better shots.

Looks like you had better weather this year. Sure beats the rainy mess last year.

Great ride this year, and I was so proud to be an American with all of those flags. The opening ceremony was very well done and meaningful.

The weather was just a touch nippy buy a lot of sunshine and I think everybody had a wonderful time. It sure makes a person feel good when several hundred people line all the roads and streets and wave to you and give you a thumbs up as you pass by. A lot of the time when you get a piece of farm machinery out on the road the people use a certain finger when they pass you. None of that here, everybody had a big smile and a wave and made you feel that they were glad that you were here. Great memorable week end and a big Thank You to all the participants, spectators, organizers and The Mackinac Bridge Authority.

Thanks, great as usual, but I don't believe I could hold my breath that long ...

It was an awesome trip. My first time riding in the parade. I was a passenger on my nephews John Deere B!

According to Bob,there were 1,111 tractors signed up,1,091 actually crossed. I think that beats the RFD TV "staged event" doesn't it?

I think your numbers are right Randy, It was a bit ironic that there were 1111 people sign up and we crossed the bridge on 9-11. As one other gentleman said the opening ceremony was very touching and well done. Your numbers were the same as I heard but I could not verify it.

Do they make sure all the 2 cylinder JD's run at different rpm's to avoid setting up a harmonic vibration??LOL!
