The ZMM Narrator's Earthquake Landslide.

… On my second trip to YNP, I traveled to through the Western Gate of the park, and encountered the landslide site mentioned by the ZMM Narrator, early in Part III, as causing horrible death toll among the campers there in 1959. This photo fits to the left of the next photo and shows the landslide which dammed up the Madison River and created what is now known as Earthquake Lake. This is the site of an earlier concrete and earth dam which created Hegben Lake, as it was known at the time.

…The ZMM Narrator told Chris about this terrible event, while he and Chris were hiking in Mountains, and heard rock falls clattering. These reminded the Narrator of landslide worries, and told Chris of the Earthquake Landslide that killed 28 people.

…A SUMMARY By Authors: Stan Celestian; Jackie Phillips.
…On August 17, 1959, the 7.3 magnitude Hebgen Lake earthquake located about 15 mi (24 km) north of West Yellowstone, Montana, produced a series of deadly landslides. The one seen here, often called the Madison Canyon slide, was responsible for the deaths of 28 people. Nearly 85 million tons of earth was moved as this slide dammed the Madison River and created Quake Lake. Photo taken on June 23, 2013.…(Madison Canyon Landslide Coordinates: 44.828874,-111.428394)

Staff of the Hillcrest Motel, Gardiner MT.
Annie Bent & the Bent family run the Hillcrest, while Mr. Bent stays super busy with maintenance and new renovations to keep the Hillcrest in modern tip top condition. Entrepreneur, motel owner, motel re-builder and house builder, Mr. Bent relies on family teamwork to make a better life for their family and his motel guests. Be sure to stop here and check out this hi quality owner built motel so accurately described in ZMM. This motel. was originally called the Hillcrest Cottages. This is still etched on the original sign, which is still there. Later the name was changed (Painted over) to Hillcrest Motel b/c "cottages" were out of style and thought not to not have bath rooms, (or were all rusty.). Thirties Style Motels are now "OK", so the name has been changed back the Hillcrest Cottages Motel.

Mr. Art Bent shows some of the tight fitting, high quality wood work left behind by the original 1935 builders of the Hillcrest.
These “cabins” of this early Yellowstone NP Thirties Cottage Style motel buildings are just as snug and functional as they were when they were first crafted in the 30's. Mr. Bent, in confirming ZMM author Robert Pirsig statements as to the Hillcrest’s high quality construction, stated that all the other original 1930’s motels in this area of the West are long since out of business and gone! By contrast, most of the original buildings of the Hillcrest Motel are still here! This is testament and legacy of Mr. & Mrs. Ritchie the original owners AND the carpenters who, guided by a contractor, did the original work. This is somewhat contrary to statements of the ZMM Narrator. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bickles were the second owners, and may have been the persons who talked to the our ZMM Riders in 1968.

Heading Up To Bozeman Pass I Discover This Herd Of Domesticated Buffalo. But They Are Wild Enough To Require A Substantial Fence To Keep Them In!!
The old highway going West, 1/2 way up Bozeman Pass, is now a marginal road close by I-90. This marginal allows a "ZMM Rider a slower-pace" and a chance to stop and enjoy these buffalo! To take this older highway, get off I-90 at the first exit just West of Livingston, MT .

Yurt, DeWeese Homestead, Cottonwood Canyon, Gallatin Gateway MT.
Tina DeWeese, an artist like her Mom and Dad, became fascinated with the traditional housing of Outer Mongolia (Northern China). Tina constructed and lived in this wood burner heated yurt back in 1975. It is now used to house young, deserving, struggling new artists who attend Montana State University Bozeman.
