Grain Stores & Colloid Plant With Mining Lift Towers in Distance
"Heat is everywhere now. I can’t ignore it anymore. The air is like a furnace blast so hot that my eyes under the goggles feel cool compared to the rest of my face. My hands are cool but the gloves have big black spots from perspiration on the back surrounded by white streaks of dried salt. .. On the road ahead a crow tugs on some carrion and flies up slowly as we approach. It looks like a lizard on the road, dry and stuck to the tar. .. On the horizon appears an image of buildings, shimmering slightly. I look down at the map and it must be Bowman. I think about ice water and air conditioning."
Gascoyne, ND.. I came through a month earlier that the ZMM Narrator, so in contrast to his sun "burned grass and clumps of earth ", for me it was more like cool clear spring time! Clearly there has been a whole lot more rain that was reported in ZMM for this area of Western North Dakota. At the beginning of the panorama, the Highway going off into the distance is West, the ZMM Route direction of travel. As you "scroll" through this panorama your view will be all the way around the horizon, full circle!! North is in direction perpendicular to the car side of the highway. The highway going into the distance (approximate panorama center) is East, and opposite the direction of the ZMM Route.
