We drove the entire north shore of Lake Superior early in 1985 when we were deciding where to spend the year we owed the government after graduation. I'd seen Ontario, Erie, and parts of Georgian Bay ... the lakes are incomprehensibly huge, but Superior was beyond huge. One of the days of driving, we could see the Sleeping Giant the entire time. It's nothing relative to the size of the lake.
In school, not one teacher ever emphasized the amazing treasures we had at our doorstep. The attitude toward the Great Lakes was very blasé. I can't understand it; to me they are amazing, fantastic.
