ContFmPreviousPhoto => A PANORAMA VIEW Of => Rt 55 intersection With Rr 101,

9:48 am Fri 16 Aug: 4.5 Miles West of Center of Plymouth, MN.

….The /\ Above /\ View Is ZMM Route (Rt 55, Trending NW), some 16 miles WNW of Minneapolis, MN.

Concerning This Area of Minnesota, Here Is What The ZMM Narrator Says In Mid Second Page of Chapter 1:
....…You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s right there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness. ….************** ….

….Although This Highway And City Environment Are Way More Built Up Now Than In 1968, When They Came This Way, Scenes Like This Could Have Been Seen By The ZMM Narrator, Chris, And The Sutherlands.
…. ************** … .

..1) The /\ Above /\ Panorama opens looking Northwest along Minnesota Rt 55 & Hennepin County Rt 101. ( Rt 101 will turn North at next major intersection.)
..2) And Using “Click&Drag” Scroll Bars, to scroll the panorama right, you see the various Commercial Buildings, upon which you see the Building Names. (Here Remember to click photo several ties to get the biggest view, & possibly use Magnifying Glass).
..3) Continuing to scroll you see the rest of this Major Intersection, and in the distance the Huge Water Tower, with Plymouth on it. Then you see Hennepin County Rt 101, coming up from the South.
..4) And finally scroll to End Of Panorama, to see again the SAME Opening View, showing, Rt 55 = The ZMM Route NW..
