The Great Lakes give us the largest supply of fresh water on the earth. These lakes are bordered by the six Midwestern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Just sayin.

Howard Groopman, I wasn't sure about the seven, so I used one of my 500+ double chances just in case it was 8.

Wasn't sure about Indiana so went with 7.
Mnemonic device for remembering their names: HOMES. Huron, Ontario, etc.

Also, there are two "Canadian Provinces" that border the "Great Lakes" as well. Apparently, those "bad boys" extend far & wide in size.

Michigan borders all 4. That's a lot of coastline.
