Bois Blanc Island is commonly known as Bob-lo by the island's
residents and is the largest of the three islands in the Mackinaw
straits. The island is heavily forested and marshy in many spots.
To really explore the island, a 4-wheeler RV is needed. A few
roads criss-cross the island, but real access to many places is
via narrow trails where only an RV can go. The island is a nature
paradise. Visitor and vehicle access to the island is available via ferry from Cheboygan, MI. Contact Plaunt Transportation for ferry schedules.

Steam Engine #1427 Hidden away from view, a serious explorer of Bois Blanc will find this old steam engine. The island has a long history of logging. Lumber was moved by a steam-powered train and an old mill was powered by a steam engine. I've yet to determine which application this engine powered. |
Steam Engine #1460 This is another old steam engine found on Bois Blanc Island. |
Old Truck #1463 This old truck resides near an old lumber mill situated on the west end of Bois Blanc Island. |
Old Truck #1520 Not much of the old and worn out ever leaves a relatively isolated island like Bois Blanc. That gives me the pleasure of photographing old junk cars and trucks like this one. They're always way out of sight, so never become a bother. |
Old Truck #1406 This old truck sits in the woods near the small, but modern Bois Blanc Island airport. |
Junk Truck This is another old junked truck on Bois Blanc Island. |
Sawmill #1476 This is a photo of an old sawmill on Bois Blanc Island. More photos of the sawmill will soon be posted on Bois Blanc Sawmill Photos Page. This old mill is quite sophisticated and includes a four-sided planar. |
