And as I close out Michigan's Adventure July pictures please enjoy some more views from the Ferris wheel and then a surprise appearance!
Logger's Run and Shivering Timbers seen from elevation. I like the view you get of the loading station of Logger's Run in the lower left corner there; look for the ride operator.
Looking out over the Dodgem (bottom of the image) and beyond that the Sea Dragon swinging ship ride, Wolverine Wildcat wooden roller coaster, and Thunderhawk coaster.
Here we get a view of one of the midway games, standing in a free building, and that midway with the new bathrooms we were saying so much about.
Funland Farm, the petting zoo, was closed by this time, with the goats and bunnies and such given their time to be their own again.
Logger's Run and Shivering Timbers again, this time with the train going up Shivering Timbers's lift hill.
Look at all those people having the fun of being about to have fun! Also it tells you how late in the day it was they didn't have a full train for Shivering Timbers.
Looking over the Corner Store, a cuple of kiddie rides, Corkscrew, the Coasters 'Drive In' that serves burgers we never get, and in the distance, Camp Snoopy and the Zach's Zoomer family wooden coaster.
Another photo taken over my shoulder, showing off Corkscrew and, in the distance, the water park.
And now let's have a big round of applause for our special guest, Eastern Cottontail spotted hanging around the park grounds!
Uh-oh, they're showing us the tail! Well, let's have a little more encouragement and maybe we can get them to give us a few happy hops!
No? Oh, well, at least the bunny looks comfortable in a nice well-tended lawn where humans aren't generally going to be going and causing trouble.
Well, park's closed, time for us to go home and see if they're running Mad Mouse enough to get the queue exhausted. Can't tell from this, but don't those trees have some nice colors?
Trivia: The Tacoma Narrow Bridge, at about 2800 feet long and 39 feet wide, was the slenderest suspension bridge at its construction, with a span-to-width ratio of nearly 72:1. The Golden Gate Bridge had a span-to-width radio of 46.7:1, and the George Washington Bridge a ratio of 33:1.
