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. ;)

Great Salt Lake

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 😂

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.
