I suspect that this was directed at me since Weco has already admitted that he's never been to Michigan. And no, I'm not a 'Yooper' (but I was born not too far from there, 50 miles south of the 'bridge') but two our sons are and I did go to school up there and one of my brothers lives in the UP.
Oh, and don't forget Lake St. Clair, not a real 'Great lake', more of a wide-spot in the Detroit River, but a lake none the less.
And it's not just those 'Great Lakes'. They say Michigan is the hardest place in the world to die of thirst in. No matter where you are in the state, you can just start walking in any direction that you wish and within about 1 or 2 miles you'll find water clean enough to drink without making you too ill, most of it clean enough to drink as much as you'd like. Also, Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state, many of them still in operation 24/7 (fully automatic and unmanned of course).
