It Is a Short Walk From the "Drive-Through Giant Redwood Tree" (Left) to "Narrator's "Duck Pond (Center).
Note people left admiring their car going through the tree. Red tail-light in the dark of the tunnel shows the presence of the car.

The ZMM Narrator's "Duck Pond. The Ducks Are In the Cool Shade At the Left Side of the Pond.
In my first readings of ZMM, I had always visualized the "Narrator's Duck Pond" to be in a Public City Park in the center of a rather large city which was close to the ocean. So when I got to Leggett, CA I was surprised to see that the pond was part of a "tourist attraction", not in a city (or even a town in a very rural mountainous area. Also it is surprising to see a pond in such a dry area.

After a Long Drive Down a Twisty Winding Canyon Road , We Suddenly Encounter the Ocean Again! And Just As Suddenly We Are Back To Cold & Fog!
Chris and the Narrator encountered dense fog at this point and could not see the ocean. By contrast to their a cold-rainy-miserable-time here, I had a wonderfully nice day.

A House With a Beautiful View. But the Surveillance Camera On The Post (Under the Lights) Sends Other Messages.
I stopped here to photograph an abandoned homestead and a hillside of wonderful exotic flowers. These views, off to the left of this home, may be seen in my ZMM photos for Part IV. Also in this Gallery, check out my Flowers and Red Winged Blackbirds Photo Album.

As All These Huge Overhanging Pine Trees Indicate, We Are Now Well Inland and Well Up Into the Coastal Mountains. Although the Pavement Is Smooth and To Fun Drive, Lower Standards of Construction Have Resulted In Sixty Miles of Narrow Very "Curvaceous" Road.
This Road does not have any Route Number and thus is a "Secondary Road". I found this out the hard way. Since I was a ZMM Pilgrim, I was droving more slowly. And soon on this stretch of road, a California Speed Demons held heavy on my rear bumper and was honking for me to get out of his way. I spotted what I thought was a good wide place at the berm to pull of the highway. I failed to notice that pavement had a huge drop-off, that exceeded by far, the ground clearance under my car. I came abruptly to a terrible grinding crunching halt! I was stuck!! Three quarters of my car was still on the highway in a dangerous curved place with limited visibility. The wheels spun, the tires smoked, but I could not move!! Many high speed cars were coming at me, but refused to respond to my hand-waves for help. Finally several local drivers came by, were much more courteous, and offered help. While some spontaneously warned on-coming traffic, others helped me jack up the car, but with no success. Fortunately a tow truck happened by, and helped me onto the pavement. What a relief!!! Fortunately nothing seemed to be damaged on my car. What a relief, as my ZMM Research continued!!!
