A Unique Michigan Tradition Returns to the Mackinac Bridge This Weekend

Each year car clubs and organizations from across Michigan (and beyond) make their annual trek across the world's 5th largest suspension bridge. You'll see everything from antique tractors, vintage snowmobiles, ATVs, Jeeps, and more crossing the Mighty Mac. There's even a group of Mini Coopers who are trying to set a Guinness World Record with their crossing.
