Dawn Chalker, Bear Me in Mind

Dan Egan
Sandy beaches still rim the lakes, but if Lake Michigan, for example, were drained it would now be possible to walk almost the entire 100 miles between Wisconsin and Michigan on a bed of trillions upon trillions of filter-feeding quagga mussels.
Dan Egan, The Death and Life of the Great Lakes
