I quoted the original so you could go back and find it easily. The links to the originals are under the original number of the photos.

No where in either of those is the gulf coast referred to as the 3rd coast.

Thanks for sharing - I missed two. I knew I was right with the picture of Lake Michigan (6) - I'm sure it isn't the the Milwaukee area, but it sure looks like it. Too bad so many were afraid to take your little challenge - I enjoyed it!

Third Coast - Houston To Tampa

Last Coast, No Coast, Cold Coast = Great Lakes. Exception Of Illinois. At Least they made something out of it unlike the rest of the states. FAIL

Gulf Coast is one contiguous coastline just like the East & West Coasts. These jokers in this thread truly amaze me.
