How many Great Lakes have you dipped a toe in?

[News]

Michiganders love to boast they live in the Great Lakes State, but how many of you have actually visited one lately?

I've been swimming in lake Michigan and lake Erie. but have never had the chance in any of the other lakes.

I have seen all 5 and fished all but Ontario.

When I lived in St. Joe Michigan, it never ceased to amaze me how many people that lived there for years or even their whole life rarely or never went to Lake Michigan. Having grown up 2+ hours from the lakes in the center of the lower peninsula, I was used to people who could have just as easily been living in Kansas as far as their exposure to the Great Lakes... but living minutes away... unbelievable!!!

Then there was the even smaller subset that had never gone salmon fishing. Just amazing how people don't take advantage of what's right in their backyard.
