First open water dive of 2010 (in MN)

[mermaid]

Ok Steve, I'll forfit on my 1000th dive in Utila, so you can "poach" the winners circle.        But do you have any idea what Michelle is talking about with a "visible" route to the ocean, can she too see Russia from her deck?, or does she mean flow to the ocean? cancelling any river diving winners in MN too. Is she also including the Laurentian divide splitting the watershead up on the Gunflint trail 3 directions, North to Hudson Bay, East to Superior, South to the Mississippi, effectively, cancelling all of MN?, I think I need her thoughts on this one filtered thru a guy, so it makes some sense, can you help me out?                                              TRINITY

All right you two (especially TRINITY...filtered through a guy...PULEEZE).  What I mean by "visible" flow (maybe my wording WAS wrong) to the ocean, is that Lake Superior (and all the Great Lakes for that matter) have a "visible" flow to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River, which empties into the Gult of St. Lawrence, etc.  Whereas, local lakes such as Forest Lake, White Bear Lake and Bald Eagle Lake are probably fed through ground water (which is not visible)... mermaid
