A new picture book documents the landmarks on the drive between the Twin Cities and Minnesota's lake country. The book is called "Brainerd Bound." It's full of images and historical information about many of the sights along the highways on the trip north. Mark Utter is one of the authors of the book. He says, like many Minnesotans, the people who wrote and photographed this book travel regularly between the Twin Cities and their cabins in the Brainerd area. MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked to him recently. See a multimedia slideshow of the Brainerd area by clicking the link to the right. You'll need the RealAudio player installed on your computer and you'll need a fast Internet connection.
