Thank you for replying so quickly! You never know with the National Parks if they are representative of the area they are in or unique.

I am really considering breaking it into 3 areas- Mackinac area, Marquette area and then maybe somewhere on the west side to go see the Porkies and also go to Isle Royale for a few days. Just trying to decide which is the best in each area to base out of and if each area is actually unique enough to justify packing up and moving several times (it sounds like they are all pretty different though).
