(Mackinac Island, MI)
Scooter’s 1816th bar, first visited in 2024.
After high tea at the Grand Hotel we went to the bar at the top of the hotel, which offers a stunning panoramic view of the island and Lake Huron. We were going to have cocktails, but realized if we did we might not make the last ferry off the island.
We went out front to request a horse taxi, but were informed that even waiting for that might make us late and that it would be faster to walk.
As we were walking down the hill back toward town it occurred to me that if I took off at a light jog, I’d be able to get one more stop in and chug a beer while everyone else was catching up. So that’s exactly what I did.
Bonus, I’d received a Great Turtle t-shirt as a gift a year earlier, so now I could finally claim having been there when I wear it. 
I ordered a Hoban Street Stout and drank as much of it as I could as quickly as I could until the rest of the group caught up to me. I finished about 3/4 of the pint and we made our ferry.
