Heading Northwest on Route 55
"This highway is an old concrete two-laner that hasn’t had much traffic since a four-laner went in parallel to it several years ago."
Minneapolis MN where darkness surrounds the Route 55 sign. Imagine you are "heading northwest " (page 003) just prior to daybreak. Please study your Minnesota (MN) map and look for clues in Chapter One as to what route the narrator (Pirsig) followed out of Minneapolis. Rt55 is one of the few old "Beat-Up Concrete" Highways (page 003)" which "is an old concrete two-laner" (page 003) "that hasn’t had much traffic since a four-laner went in parallel to it several years ago" (page 003) where it is easy to "miss our turn" (page 021), despite a sign “as big as a barn” (page 021), that soon thereafter “crosses this freeway” (page 021).
