ContFmPreviousPhoto => A PANORAMA VIEW Of => A Glacial Lake Vista-Point And Bronze Plaque.

5:38 pm Thurs 15 Aug: Mt. Outlook Park, Glenwood, MN.

….The /\ Above /\ View Is Just 200 Feet Off Of ZMM Route (Rt 55 at 14th Ave.), some 120. miles WNW of Minneapolis, MN.


Concerning This Area of Minnesota, Here Is What The ZMM Narrator Says As Chapter 2 Is Closed, And A New Chapter Started =>
…“ We’re out of the marshes now, but the air is still so humid you can look straight up directly at the yellow circle of the sun as if there were smoke or smog in the sky. But we’re in the green countryside now. The farmhouses are clean and white and fresh. And there’s no smoke or smog.
…. Start Chapter 3.
… The road winds on and on . . . we stop for rests and lunch, exchange small talk, and settle down to the long ride. The beginning fatigue of afternoon balances the excitement of the first day and we move steadily, not fast, not slow.
We have picked up a southwest side wind, and the cycle cants into the gusts, seemingly by itself, to counter their effect. Lately there’s been a sense of something peculiar about this road, apprehension about something, as if we were being watched or followed. But there is not a car anywhere ahead and in the mirror are only John and Sylvia way behind.


Travelling The ZMM Route (Now on Rt 55), Henry Gurr Stopped Here At This Glenwood, MN City Park, To Rest In The Shade.

As The Brass Geology Plaque Explains =>
This ~2 mile x 6.5 mile lake, was formed by gravel infill around a Glacial Ice Block. When the ice melted, and trees grew, presto this nice view!! (Please REMEMBER to click photo several ties to get the biggest view, & possibly use Magnifying Glass, to read Part of The Plaque.
