    4 out of 5 stars Great Information, a Little Incomplete.......2003-03-24

    we bought this book at pictured rocks national lakeshore halfway through a 17 day adventure visiting all of the great lakes and i wished we had found it sooner. it was helpful with its details and little bits of trivia and information. for example we were not surprised to see the horrible cooling towers adjacent to indiana dunes nat'l lakeshore and it helped us understand the different mindset of the "yoopers" in michigan. i was disappointed that it did not contain more info on the canadian side of the great lakes and it made no mention of lake ontario and new york (our starting point), which seemed to short change the title of great lakes. (afterall, how could it miss one?) if you're aware of this and want some great info on a great region...i defnietly recommend it!
