Mansfield and her pedometer visited Sturgeon Bay, Mackinac Island, the Soo Locks, Tahquamenon Falls and Traverse City.
Here trip also included stops at the Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Detroit.
“We had a great time,” Mansfield said. “The weather was fabulous and scenery beautiful. We also had a few strange looks from people wondering why anyone would want a picture of someone pointing to a pedometer.”
Mansfield also had time to do a little air boating on the Platte River and brought her pedometer along for that trip, too.
