The countdown starts!


My calendar says it is now November, but in my mind, I'm back somewhere in--oh--say August?!
Looking back at my previous posts, this appears to be a chronic problem: losing track of time. 

My calendar also says I have seven more public appearances to make in support of "Tales of the Road-Highway 61."  This photo is of nearly 300 people at a gathering of alumni of Minneapolis South High School (my alma mater!) and instead of having my picture taken, I wanted to turn the tables and take a photo of the whole group. 
All the events have been great no matter where they've been and they've been all over Minnesota. I end up my tour December 5th in Duluth on WDSE-TV. 

Thanks to TOTR web fans "Ouch" and John S for dropping me a line.  John liked the photo from the Czech Republic of the Highway 61 restaurant. He has some dandy Highway 61 photos on "Flickr". Check them out. 

Other TOTR followers were as upset as I am over the loss/theft of the old, iconic Highway 61 sign that you see in the book and at the end of the documentary. This is all that remains. We now have a substantial amount of money available for a reward leading to information and its return. Any ideas on how to get the word out??

This is a sad reminder that people cannot leave things well enough alone. History is best commented on, not edited. Coffeejon

I agree completely Coffeejon.
I'm so angry that someone took the sign. Attempts to find it have been unsuccessful so we will offer a reward in January. The sign was to have been used in a historical exhibit.
If ANYONE has any ideas on where the sign is or how to find it, please post your comments or send us an e-mail.
