Dawn's Pink Northern Light Illuminates Lakes Along Route 55
"In the wind are pungent odors from the marshes by the road. We are in an area of the Central Plains filled with thousands of duck hunting sloughs, heading northwest from Minneapolis toward the Dakotas. 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. When we pass a marsh the air suddenly becomes cooler. Then, when we are past, it suddenly warms up again."
~5Mi West of Buffalo MN where the pink northern light of dawn illuminates the lakes along Route 55. My Rand-McNally map shows a major portion of this Minnesota highway as being a "Scenic Route"! Bravo Rand-McNally!! This mapmaker agrees with Pirsig on the Travel Quality of this Road!
