Route 55, Second Roadside Picnic Area Out of Minneapolis.

"The whole pace of life and personality of the people who live along them are different. They’re not going anywhere. They’re not too busy to be courteous. The hereness and nowness of things is something they know all about. It’s the others, the ones who moved to the cities years ago and their lost offspring, who have all but forgotten it. The discovery was a real find."

1Mi East of Maple Lake MN This roadside picnic area (2nd from Minneapolis) has lake and stream, but no water pump, or evidence of a previous installation. Since this Picnic Area is only 35 miles out of Minneapolis, it would probably have been too early for John & Sylvia to decide to stop here for a rest. (If you are aware of other good photos of scenery, marshes etc along MN Rt55, please let me know.)
