Time For a Rest At The Camp Buell State Historical Site.
“ …. I suddenly notice the land here has flattened into a Euclidian plane. Not a hill, not a bump anywhere. This means we have entered the Red River Valley. We will soon be into the Dakotas. .... “
Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002): "Chris, Bob 1st day. N. D. --This is the picture that everyone sees in black and white. It was first sent to the English publisher, Bodley Head. They put it on their jacket and everyone picked it up from there. The location is a rest stop in North Dakota on the way to Oakes at about 5 or 6 PM during the first day out. The storm described in Chap. 3 was fictional." [[[It has been a long day in the direct sun. Notice red of severe sunburn on Mr. Pirsig's hands and face. After much search effort Gary Wegner finally found that this ZMM Rest Area photo was taken just South of]]] Milner, ND. Click on box = Camp Buell Milnor after you click here for map on Gary Wegner's Site. On 7 September, 2006, I visited this Picnic Table and Canopy. As my photos for ZMM Part I shows, the Buell State Park is most certainly the place Mr. Pirsig's above photo was taken in July 1968. My Part I photos will have more info re Mr. Wegner's search to find this site. If you have more information, Please click here to contact me by email, telephone, or U. S. Mail. Thanks. HSG ]]]
