Uploaded by eluko79 on Feb 6, 2010
First paved in the 1920's, US 61 is one of Minnesota's first and most famous highways. We'll be starting in Red Wing and continue south down to Frontenac Station.

@Bradhahn14 I live in red wing and it is a beautiful area to live in

@eluko79 go to the cemetary. Its one of the most haunted in the US
-
I've never been down to Red Wing. Looks like a very beautiful area, overlooked by bluffs.
-
I drove through there once on a whim. Very eerie little village.
-
@AaronOfMpls Also, if you're into old buildings, I recommend the turnoff for Old Frontenac (from Frontenac Station). Founded in the 1850s, Old Frontenac is probably Minnesota's first resort community.

I drove down to Winona that way last fall. Very beautiful drive.
-
Now you'll have to do another video along Wisconsin Highway 35 on the east side of the river.

Oh I know. It should have been a freeway 50 years ago. WW2 put a stop on the plans.
Anyways I use a "flip mino HD" with a suction cup mount on the windshield.
Thanks!

Very scenic. Great video.
-
Excellent!!
-
Very nice piece of highway. Must be frustrating when behind people who drive slowly...
What kind of camera do you use?
-
Beautiful old highway.
Korea in the 1920s probably would not have a paved roads.

Very scenic. It looks so American to me, with the quintessential Midwestern town at the beginning and everything.
Also, I was going to make a comment about the condition of the road, but seeing as it was paved in the '20s I think it's pretty good for such an old highway.

Haha, it'd be okay to make that comment. The original pavement was only 12 foot wide concrete slabs. At the 2 min mark you can see the original road on the left.

Is a nice route to go quiet and enjoying the journey with the car.
Minnesota is a beautiful state.

Thanks Josan. The entire length of 61 is perfect for just that.
