Somehow they included Great Salt Lake. It is a "great" "lake" ;)
But they left out Great Slave Lake, and Great Bear Lake because they don't know Canadian geography. ;)
lol, i guess that must be why.
fwiw, regardless of its name or how great it is, it is not one of the Great Lakes ๐
Probably won't even be a lake in 5 years
Not to mention the high likelyhood of it pulling a Salton sea remake in the next couple decades.
To be fair, the Great Salt Lake isn't so great anymore.
Pretty sure a friend out that way mentioned "Lake" may be a generous title anymore.
Yeah, it's like 1/3 the size of used to be, and there's also toxic dust that'll give a bunch of cancer when the Republicans refuse to do anything about it in like 5 years.
