Mini Mackinac Bridge

Behind the Mini-Mac Storage facility, the proprietor has constructed a small scale replica of the Mackinac Bridge complete with upper and lower peninsulas, and a small pond representing lakes. There is a sign claiming that it costs a dollar to walk across, though when I was there there was no-one home to take my money. It has been there at least 11 yrs. It's silly, but if people actively search out muffler men, then this definitely deserves a nod.
