Here's an
unlovely picture I took yesterday afternoon. Going to and from work, I must bike over Interstate 35 and
there's no beautiful way to do that,
though in certain conditions
downtown does look impressive. Here, it looks gray with the promise of coming
rain—which didn’t come. Maybe this afternoon.
I’m looking north here (from 38th St.). Go 150 miles north on I-35, and it ends at Duluth, a port city on Lake Superior. (From Duluth to the Canadian border is another 150 miles on Highway 61.)
If you take I-35 all the way south, in 1,400 miles you’ll come to the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas.
Geez. I don’t drive and I don’t pay much attention to roads—or geography in general, but I should know that. I've even done it, though I was the passenger.
Can you name the states? I’ll put the answer in the comments. 
I-35 goes through Minnesota,Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
ReplyDeleteI guessed "Kansas and Nebraska"! If I thought about it, I'd know that was Missouri because my grandparents lived there (in the small town of Houston, MO) when I was growing up, and my mother regularly drove us there (from Wisconsin).
I could not name those states if you put a gun to my head.
ReplyDeleteMS MOON: Bless your heart, for real! I was sure everyone could name them. If I had to fill in a blank map of the USA, I might get half the states right. Maybe.
ReplyDelete(Hm. I should try it.)
I can name those states because I've driven them...but I'm blanking on the state between Missouri and Louisiana. Plus I'm not really sure of of a lot of the southern states east of there.
