Yeah I'll go! Can we get back though, better yet - back to when I was twenty!

But really, what would be the backdrop. Paint us a picture. How long ago was the lake basin spread out in western OH? Are there fossils of Erie life around there. Is there any good literature on the great black swamp? Why did they drain it - didn't put much in it's place. How would wetlands mitigation play on that today! What would we catch? How did the indians fish the big lake. What indians were here- erie, huron, cleveland (probably got beat up on all the time!), seneca...? What would they use for hooks - eagle claw!? If the glaciers carved the great lakes, why did they dig deep right here - not north and south of us.

This sounds like it could be answered with volumes - guess I should just ask for a book recommendation, but I know you guys dig this stuff too.
