Cake For Dylan -6/365, Archive 365, Hibbing, Minnesota, May 2005, photo © 2005-2012 by QuoinMonkey. All rights reserved.
In May 2005, Liz and I traveled to the Iron Range to attend Dylan Days in Hibbing, Minnesota. We took a tour of Bob Dylan’s childhood home, stopped by Hibbing High to hear the original band from Blood On The Tracks, visited the ghostly abandoned street corners where they had moved the town a few miles south to expand the biggest operating open pit iron ore mine in the world (more than three miles long, two miles wide, and 535 feet deep). In the evening we celebrated with dancing, poetry, and good food at Zimmy’s where I took this photograph of Dylan’s cake.

Robin, thanks. Had a great time on this trip to Hibbing.Took photos of Dylan’s childhood home, saw a lot of his haunts when he was a kid. I take it he doesn’t get back to Hibbing much, though his legend lives on there. One of the most interesting aspects was hearing his childhood friend speak about their time together. And visiting Hibbing High. Appreciate the comment!
