commute

I realize this may be a more whimsical post, but I thought you would like to see what portions of my 50 mile commute looks like. If you are following by map, I take I-35 West from Falcon Heights, up through Lino Lakes to Forest Lake. Hanging a right I follow TH 97 east to TH 95. I follow this north to TH 243, take that across the ST Croix river, which separates MN from WI, through Osceola and up Th 35 to Dresser. (TH stands for Trunk Highway. This is one phrase that prior to moving here had never heard of, so I get to add to the list of colloquialisms I've accumulated).

Heading north on 35W

Leaving Forest Lake on TH97

Coming to the end of 97. This looks across the St Croix River Valley.

Heading north on 95

Yes, watch out for those deer!

Crossing the bridge on 243 looking north up river.

The booming metropolis of Osceola.
