Cave in the Woods - Mackinac Island
A basic look at this intriguing hole in the ground. It is just north of the Island Airport. It is accessible by the Partridge Trail or the Crack-in-the-Island Trail.

[Wikipedia] Skull Cave (Mackinac Island)
Skull Cave is a small and shallow cave on the central heights of Mackinac Island in Michigan, USA. The cave was carved during the Algonquin post-glacial period by the waters of Lake Algonquin, a swollen meltwater ancestor of today's Lake Huron.
Skull Cave is primarily of interest for its historical associations. It is believed to have been used as an inhumation site by Native Americans of the Straits of Mackinac area in the 18th century.
While in active use as a site for human remains, the cave was also used as a refuge in 1763 by fur trader Alexander Henry, a survivor of the capture of Fort Michilimackinac by Native Americans during Pontiac's War. In his Memoirs, Henry recalled a night spent as a refugee in the bone-strewn cavern.
Henry recalled his ordeal as follows:
On going into the cave, of which the entrance was nearly ten feet wide, I found the further end to be rounded in its shape, like that of an oven, but with a further aperture, too small, however, to be explored. After thus looking around me, I broke small branches from the trees and spread them for a bed, then wrapped myself in my blanket and slept till day-break. On awaking, I felt myself incommoded by some object upon which I lay, and, removing it, found it to be a bone. This I supposed to be that of a deer, or some other animal, and what might very naturally be looked for in the place in which I was; but when daylight visited my chamber I discovered, with some feelings of horror, that I was lying on nothing less than a heap of human bones and skulls, which covered the floor!
Skull Cave is contained within Mackinac Island State Park. It is located 0.4 miles (0.6 km) north of Fort Mackinac in the island's interior. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on January 12, 1959, and granted state historical marker #L0004.

Crack in the Island - Mackinac Island
This is a unique and well-hidden feature of Mackinac Island. Its name is catchy enough to draw your attention if you're observant enough to catch it on a map. You have to head to the center of the island and follow the main roads to the sign for Crack-in-the-Island Trail.

Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækɨnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to a Native American settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position amidst the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

Door County Visitor Bureau Winter 2011
Hibernation, schmibernation. That stuff is for the bears.
Door County is a different world in the winter than in warmer months, but that's not to say it's a less vivacious one.
While some of the peninsular community's shops and attractions have shuttered until spring and boat tours have halted, the blankets of snow seem to breathe cool new life into other tourist destinations perhaps overlooked on sunny summer days.
There are still plenty of places to dine and shop in the Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Fish Creek and Sturgeon Bay areas. Lakeshore strolls and sleigh rides invigorate as they're fueled by breaths of crisp, clean air. And warm meals and accommodations await those looking to thaw their limbs.
Take refuge in one of the region's cozy resorts or bed-and-breakfasts. Or enjoy an old-fashioned fish boil and watch the flames mix with the wintry breeze.
Any season is a fine time to visit Door County and celebrate this picturesque spit of land, well known for its tourism options as well as its Lake Michigan shipwreck history. Its name refers to death's door, but these days it's as full of life as any beachside paradise, regardless of what the thermometer reads.
Local fare
Groups can enjoy the fruits of the most recent harvest with a trip to Country Ovens, a family-owned and operated business. Its products — including dried and chocolate-covered cherries and cherry juice — are made from Door County Montmorency red tart cherries, a distinctive flavor of the region that shows that Wisconsin isn't simply all about cheese.
For great local pizza and and icy cool treats, look no further than Joe Jo's Pizza and Gelato in Ephraim. Its thin crust is made from scratch, and the gelato and sorbetto comes in all kinds of mouth-watering flavors such as tiramisu, white chocolate and Grand Marnier.
Upscale casual dining has a distinctly Door flavor at Cooper's Corner in Fish Creek. Groups can visit the adjacent Barrel Room before dinner to enjoy complimentary samples of local wine and tasty Fat Louie's olive oils and balsamic vinegars.
Door County is home to some of the prettiest nature in the Midwest or, for that matter, anywhere. That fact doesn't change when the snow flies.
Cross-country skiers and snowshoers will delight in the more than 16 miles of clean, double-tracked ski trails and four miles of snowshoe and hiking trails. Nor Door Sport & Cyclery will equip visitors with all the topographical wisdom and rugged gear they need.
For a re-energizing Lake Michigan hike, explore picturesque Whitefish Dunes State Park and its rocky shoreline, sandy beaches and forest areas. The park draws 180,000 visitors annually, more than any other day-use park in the state. Its nature center features an exhibit room, auditorium and picnic area.
Peninsula State Park also offers enchanting views as well as wildlife education opportunities and chances to hand feed some of the most charming and trusting birds you'll see.

There are a few more areas in the Door County area I want to get video of this winter.
