Scenes Along The Travel Route of Book => Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. => This Is A PHOTO-REPORT (5 of 5)

Illustrating Henry Gurr’s Return Home From Montana AFTER his “Book Signing Tour” & "Big Trip West.

 

ContFmPreviousPhoto => A LESS THAN PERFECT PANORAMA VIEW Of => The ZMM Narrator’s ”… I can see the far side of the valley, away and below.”

7:53 am Tues 13 Aug: Achieved by Henry Gurr’s Climb To ,Top of South Bluff, of US 12, Near Top of the Mountain Pass Ridge, 10 Miles East of Miles City, MT.
….NOTE: The /\ Above /\ Panorama Photo Shows The SAME CAMERA PHOTOS (And SAME Physical Location), As Previous Hi Quality Panorama Photo, But “Stitched”. By Less Than Perfect Efforts of Henry Gurr, Using Available APP’s.

..AND the /\ Above /\ Photo Is Kept Here, So You may “See The Difference”.
….Which as you can see in the /\ Above /\, the Photographic Quality is acceptable, but The Less Than Perfect Stitching Of Henry Gurr, using Microsoft Composite Editor, would not allow the opening to show “The Valley”, and has distracting brightness variation, and if properly “cropped” tor straight top & bottom, too much picture would be lost. The latter was ultimately caused by Henry Gurr’s inadequate Panorama Photographing Technique. The Previous Panorama Photo Stitched & Edit Improved by FlatWorld.com is Far Better.
….************** ….

The /\ Above /\ Panorama Opens With View Of Grass & Trees At Top Of US 12 Bluff. This /\ Above /\, Is An EXTENSION of The Woods Where The ZMM Narrator Described Chris & The Sutherlands As => ”..walked into the meadow among the flowers under pines. ..”
..1) Using “Click&Drag” Scroll Bars, to scroll the panorama right, … As you scroll the panorama to the right, you will see way, way in the distance (beyond the pavement) the Narrator’s, ”… I can see the far side of the valley, away and below.”
..2) And then, more scroll right, you will also see => What Previous Photos have mentioned => “tiny trees, on top of a uniform tan slope… a major US 12 road cut… major uniform dry grass slope, road cut “
..3) Continuing right, you see The Gray Pavement Of US 12, Climbing to top of Ridge, where off to right is the (previously mentioned), red dirt “Main Ridge Road”
..4) AND not far from this “Main Ridge Road”, is the ZMM Narrator’s Description => …."I think we have arrived," John says.
….Sylvia and Chris have walked into the meadow among the flowers under pines
…. through which I can see the far side of the valley, away and below.”

..5 Then more right is seen some “Higher Land of e Pine Forest & Meadows”, like those the ZMM Narrator mentions. This is where is the Previous Photo’s => “darker green forest, surrounding the, Microwave Tower”, AND o/c likely where the ZMM Narrator reports =>The Sutherlands ”..walked into the meadow among the flowers under pines. ..”

…. Photo Note => In The Panorama /\ Above /\ (And The Next Photo), You Learn => It Is Fairly Difficult To Get To A Vantage Point, To See What The Narrator Says!! From this (and Henry’s difficult Bluff climb to find a proper camera vantage point), we can possibly conclude => This ZMM Passage is mostly in the Narrator’s “Minds Eye”, and not so easy for the ZMM Route Traveler to see. …. Alternatively, perhaps the forest have grown a lot since 1968, and now obstructing the Narrator’s 1968 easy viewing.
