We probably should have stayed closer. I was making beer runs, bringing back as much at a time as I could sling off the handlebars, and we felt a little too isolated.

the cottage that my family stays at every summer is out near stonecliff on the west side of the island (gorgeous sunsets over the water), but as an avid cyclist, 2 miles does not feel isolating to me (hell, i bike commute 16 miles everyday, so 2 miles is like nothing to me). it does help that as a bike commuter i have a bike with a rack and panniers that i can use to haul stuff like beer. also, since having kids, we now bring a burley child trailer with us, which is great for hauling big grocery loads back from town.
being such a bicycle paradise is one of the big reasons why mackinac is so near and dear to my heart.

yeah, the horse-drawn taxis are expensive, slow, and can take a
LONG time to get out by stonecliff. we generally don't use them because we bring our bikes with us.
