Is This Stretch Of Highway With These Fragrant Russian Olive Shrubs
….The Scene Of Chris and the Narrator's Brush With Death?

….[The Narrator is deep in thought as he explains the hierarchies of the mechanics mind as he seeks the underlying form. Then suddenly, the horror of a head-on collision! => ]
….".... A car with a trailer coming our way is passing and having trouble getting back into his lane. I flash my headlight to make sure he sees us. He sees us but he can’t get back in. "

US-10, seven miles East of Hysham, MT . In my ZMM Route West Research, I started to look for possible locations for the above “horror scene” Thus soon after Miles City, MT and well before Forsyth MT, I started look road clues that could fit the Narrators description above.
….My task was to find a straight section of road where the Narrator can look ahead to see => ".... A car with a trailer coming our way …. " on a "narrow road" bad drop-off, where he may have been "forced off the pavement" and the subsequent "had the shakes" and fairly soon a "small town " where they "order every kind of snack they’ve got".

…. From Forsyth, MT to Hysham, MT, the 8 mile straight stretch of road running East of Hysham, MT, is one of the few places that US-10 has the above combination of ‘clues”.

The /\ Above /\ Photo Was Taken On This Stretch Of Highway, Because As You Can See This Location Has A Safe Place To Pull Of The Highway And Park.
But, once stopped at this particular place, I rested and re-viewed again the ZMM passages, so I would not miss any Narrator’s scenery clues. And since this was a good candidate highway section for the Narrators above “horror scene”, I walked around taking photos. And then, and only then, did I became aware of these fragrant bushes!.
