MINI golden gate? The Mighty Mac is over 5 miles long compare to the 1.7 miles of the Golden gate. Another interesting fact: the roadway of the G.Gate is level with the anchorages while the ocean is about 230 feet below the anchorages. meanwhile, the Mackinaw roadway rises from the shores and the anchorages over 200 feet above lakes Michigan and Huron. After driving the Mackinaw several times, I drove the Golden gate and my thoughts were "That's it?" we turned around and went back and still didn't drive enough to get to the center of the Mackinaw!
Both bridges are beautiful and this is one of the best photos I have seen of the Mighty Mac!
The tug in the Poe lock with the rail and highway bridges behind is absolutely great. Was that taken on Engineer Day?
