At the moment, after weeks of miserable cold, wet weather, Id happily trade places with you. Oh, to be on a sundrenched beach with a balmy breeze wafting around my own shorts and hand outstretched for another cold beer. [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]

Beach? in Minnesota? Lotsa lakes, but a long way from the beach.
Hhhhmmm.....So for it to be a beach it has to be on the ocean? And here I always thought a beach was simply the area where a body of water met the land. Like the one less than a mile from me. ;D
While people generally know that Alaska has the longest coastline of any of the states all too frequently the term coastline gets changed to shoreline when this fact is being quoted. The two terms do not mean the same thing.
Alaska does indeed have the longest coastline of any of the states, but it only has roughly half the shoreline that Minnesota has.
To give you an idea of just how much shoreline Minnesota has if you were to go to your favorite coastal beach and start following the shoreline you would have to walk all the way around Australia not once, not twice, but over 4 times before you had walked the distance of of Minnesotas shorelines. Excluding offshore islands Australia has 34,218kms of coastline. Counting only permanent lakes of 10 acres or more in size there is over 145,000kms of shoreline in Minnesota.

I do understand where youre coming from. Minnesota is completely filled with potholes. Each one has a beach.
Nah, Alaska is filled with potholes. Minnesota is filled with Glacial drift and finger lakes. ;D
As I recall the average lake size here is 300 acres and while most run less than 100 feet Lake Superior is over 1,200 feet deep.
Java "Full of odd stats" phile
Twelve hundred feet deep!!
Here in Victoria, the Gippsland Lakes are Australias largest, and only some 20 ft (6 metres) at the deepest. Even Port Philp Bay is so shallow supertankers are scraping the bottom! :-?
So as not to let the thread pirates take control of this ship, heres a picture of my recent adventure in Sydney. This was our jaunt down to Cronulla. We had an earlier coffee at Grind (note that that is NOT Grinders!) in Cronulla. Worth the trip and the posing to do so. Actually, parking for bikes was far better than parking for cars. That is when the Ambulance Rescue vehicle is not taking up the spots! :
