We’ve been traveling down Minnesota’s North Shore and enjoying the sight of Lake Superior rolling by. The air quality has been pretty bad due to ongoing Canadian wildfires, but we had rain this morning so we hope that clears things up a bit.
The road we’re on is Minnesota State Highway 61. It’s not the same road that Bob Dylan sang about, although young Robert Zimmerman grew up not far from here in Hibbing. Dylan’s song is about U.S. 61 which follows the Mississippi River all the way from Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana. It cuts through the region where the Delta Blues was born and thus has legendary status.
How do I know we’re not on the same road? I have yet to see forty red, white, and blue shoestrings. Nor have I found a thousand telephones that don’t ring.
