View From the Center of the Valley of New Meadows. Note Sign That Says “45th Parallel. Halfway Between the Equator and the North Pole" Plus Sign "Pass With Care!!”
[The road “seems to head upward into forest. .. It does, and soon the road becomes shaded by tall, cool pines. Resort signs appear. We wind higher and higher into unexpectedly pleasant, cool, green meadows surrounded by pine forests. At a town called New Meadows we fill up again and buy two cans of oil, still surprised at the change. .. But as we leave New Meadows I note the long slant of the sun and a late afternoon depression begins to set in.“

One mile to New Meadows, ID. At first you see the road just traveled. The distant forests are described by the Narrator where the road seems to head upward into forest.". This is North, as is indicated by the long shadows from the West. As you scroll to the right you will see 1) A Tourist Information Kiosk marked by the "45th Parallel" Sign (East), 2) the continuing road to New Meadows seen in the distance. All the scenery after the town of Riggings accurately fits the Narrator’s descriptions. Photos are needed.
