E&I Motel, Eight Blocks East of Stop Light, Oakes, ND. Summer 2002. This /\ Above /\ Photo of E&I Motel show the only remaining Oaks motel similar in style and age to what Pirsig would have experienced in his 1968Trip. The Motel he probably used was two blocks West of town center, just beyond railroad tracks, and was partly torn down about 2001.
