Concerning This Area of Minnesota, Here Is What The ZMM Narrator Says =>
”PART I: THE OPENING FIRST LINES OF CHAPTER 1 =>
….“ I can see by my watch, without taking my hand from the left grip of the cycle, that it is eight-thirty in the morning. The wind, even at sixty miles an hour, is warm and humid. When it’s this hot and muggy at eight-thirty, I’m wondering what it’s going to be like in the afternoon.
….In the wind are pungent odors from the marshes by the road. We are in an area of the Central Plains filled with thousands of duck hunting sloughs, heading northwest from Minneapolis toward the Dakotas.

ContFmPreviousPhoto => A PANORAMA VIEW Of => Rt 55 intersection With Rr 101,

9:48 am Fri 16 Aug: 4.5 Miles West of Center of Plymouth, MN.

….The /\ Above /\ View Is ZMM Route (Rt 55, Trending NW), some 16 miles WNW of Minneapolis, MN.

Concerning This Area of Minnesota, Here Is What The ZMM Narrator Says In Mid Second Page of Chapter 1:
....…You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s right there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness. ….************** ….

….Although This Highway And City Environment Are Way More Built Up Now Than In 1968, When They Came This Way, Scenes Like This Could Have Been Seen By The ZMM Narrator, Chris, And The Sutherlands.
…. ************** … .

..4) And finally scroll to End Of Panorama, to see again the SAME Opening View, showing, Rt 55 = The ZMM Route NW..

2:00 am Sunday 25 Aug. Home At Last!! 4264 Vaucluse Road, Aiken South Carolina
…It had been a good travel day, with nice sun all day: But as Henry Gurr was on I-20 just out of Columbia South Carolina, fatigue set in, just after dark: The Lexington SC Exit offered a quiet side street with minimal street lights, for a hour cat nap. And for safety the final 60 miles was real slooow !! & carrreefull ll!!

…Thus it was ~2:00 am before Henry Gurr drives up to his house: All is quiet, except Katydids up in the oak trees. Over My Son David’s “Home-Brew” AsRock Computer => The light was on, meaning he was (as is normal “burning midnight oil” ), as he continues to type “code” for his Plan9** Computer Operating System Project.
…Henry taps lightly on door so as not to scare David. Hearing noise David days “Oh my goodness! You are here already!!” .
…With perishable foods into Frig, Henry collapses into immediate sleep, glad to be home! Tomorrow will be soon enough to send Emails => “I’m safely home & many thanks for your hospitality & good visit, when I was with you-all !!”
