Interesting ... and cool all at the same time. 

My old boss back @ the Coffee Gallery down in Mpls recently did 61 end to end, starting up here and finishing down there, where it ends, you know.

He and Cathy kept in contact throughout his sabbatical, and he took tons of pictures here, on the flickr.

I have friends in Chicago who got married in Grand Marais and for their honeymoon traveled the length of 61. Every year on their anniversary they throw a crawfish boil.

zra - Waitaminute! I worked at Coffee Gallery for Jon when it was on Franklin (between Aldrich and Lyndale). I didn't know you'd worked for him. Where? When? Did he recover from his bije accident?

yeah, he has recovered...though he says things are a tad slower for him now. kinda like being on a whiskey drunk all the time.

uhmm, i worked for him a decade ago, putting the Gallery together @ Open Book on Washington over by Valspar and the Depot.

small world, eh? i hung out there a bit (Frank/Lyn) off and on for a couple of years myself...
