An Ohio geography professor claims that Minnesota has only the seven most lakes in the lower 48 and not the most of any other state of the lower 48. Please!
Bill Renwick, chairman of the Geography Department at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and his colleagues do not distinguish between water bodies of natural origin and those built by humans. And they count any body of water that can be seen by a satellite. Which, in case you're wondering, is any body of water about 100 feet across. So while us natural born Minnesotans have been only counting lakes that are fed from a stream or a spring; or feed to another large body of water, this professor (if that's what you can call him) is counting ponds and puddles as lakes!
I guess I'll skip my planed trip to Minnesota for fishing and water skiing to head to that great lake state....KANSAS!
