This album shows what I saw on my RETURN trip home (San Francisco California to Aiken South Carolina), Summer 2002. These 55 photos were taken along the Route of the “1849er’s Gold Rush to California” (In Reverse Direction). ‘’’’’ After I completed my ZMM Research, I RETURNED home by way of the Route of the ‘49’s Gold Rush. This route included the route of the “California Gold Rush Trail” (in Nevada & California), as well as portions of the Oregon Trail' all the way into Missouri. These 1849er’s Travel Route Photos, were taken AFTER I took those Photos shown in the above Album named “A Color Photo Illustrated ZMM Book, With Travel Route Sights & Scenes Explained”.

Enjoy 225 Photos of Flowers & Red Wing Blackbirds Along the ZMM Route. This Album of Color Photos shows every Flower and Red Wing Blackbird (RWBB) that I could “get within my camera sights!!” This was done in honor of the ZMM Narrator's emphasis of Flowers and Redwing Blackbirds in the book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. I was very surprised to find RWBB's the entire travel route from Minneapolis to San Francisco.

Starting Monday 19 July 2004, Mark Richardson traveled the ZMM Route, on his trusty Jakie Blue motorcycle. Mark made these 59 interesting photographs of what he saw along the way. As he toured, he pondered his own life destiny (past present future), and sought to discover his own deeper personal meaning of the book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”.

The former home (~1968) of John and Sylvia Sutherland, at 2649 South Colfax Ave, Minneapolis MN, shown in 18 photos. Despite John's quite negative disparaging statements in ZMM, about their home back in Minneapolis, this same house, shown in these photos, looks to us like a wonderful, beautiful home along a very nice, quiet, shady street, in a perfectly fine Minneapolis Neighborhood!

Observations & Conclusions Concerning Teaching & Learning, In A University Introductory Math Class. …. By Henry Gurr, Professor Of Physics, University South Carolina- Aiken.

...At the University South Carolina- Aiken, my main responsibility was teaching Physics.
And because I came to solidly believe, that student’s extensive writing, in their Physics Lab Reports,=> 1) Helps resolve uncompleted knowledge, AND 2) Helps solidify into student’s mind the lessons of Physics Class & Lab, I insisted on their really extensive writing, especially for Lab Reports.

...So, when I was (as replenishment), assigned to teach an Elementary University Mathematics Class, with Textbook For All Practical Purposes Click Here. I remembered my beliefs about writing, and applied them to this Mathematics Class, as follows.

..Thus: In addition to normal teaching of the Textbook Topics, and Assigning Homework …. At the beginning of the Semester, I requested that my Math Class Students, purchase a Bound Lab Report Style, blank page notebook. And, in their notebook, write into it weekly 300 word essay => The Mathematics I Saw Being Used This Week

….. Every week, of course, I would closely read, and write extensive feedback, on what the students had written.

...Here, it should be understood that, the students in this Elementary Math Class, chose it essentially to AVOID Math as much as possible, and in class, were very UN-enthusiastic, and UN-interested!!.

..Thus: What is surprising, is that although this “300 Word Writing, was extra work beyond normal assigned reading & homework, the class functioned far better,, because of what the students wrote about!

I Believe The Reasons For The Far Better Functioning Math Class Were =>
...1) The students, were actively watching for various Real Life Mathematics Actions, happening in their lown ife, and heir eyes were thus, for the first time, opened to how MUCH Mathematics was happening in their life, and how truly important, this was for them personally!!!
...2) This appreciation would NOT have happened, without this writing!! Also
...3) Because or my extensive written feedback, the students came to know me better, and thus know, I cared about their educational progress. Plus:
...4) The students came to know, that I knew a whole lot better about them.
...5) All of which, naturally & fundamentally, created a vastly improved classroom & educational environment!
...6) Or course, this increased appreciation of the Mathematics, substantially contributed to their own personal life & ecucational Development. And, natyrally this also greatly increased the resulting Mathematics Learning & Real Knowledge, overall in this class!!!!

Post Log.
...The above reports my experience, for about 6 Semesters of teaching this Elementary Math Class.
However, on my last semester of teaching this class, there were other increased demands, such that I decided to omit the work of my reading and writing on, the student’s above-mentioned Weekly Write 300 words.
...And to my surprise, the class overall, was a far worse experience for toth students & professor! …. I, did not expect this.

…. But, importantly, this “far worse experience”, shows very solidly, indeed proof positive, that this Weekly Writing, was a really good addition, for both the students !!
