A Fire Place Made From Petrified-Wood-Logs, View of Lake, and Last Remaining Glow of Sunset:
….At Same Campground, AND About Same Degree of Darkness, Where Pirsig, Chris, John and Sylvia Camped the Second Night of Their Trip.
The wind blows from the horizon across the lake and hits us with sharp gusts. It is already chilly. .. I see between trips that Sylvia is making a real effort at setting things up for cooking, but she’s as tired as I am. .. The sun goes down. .. John has gathered wood but it’s too big and the wind is so gusty it’s hard to start. It needs to be splintered into kindling. I go back over to the scrub pines, hunt around through the twilight for the machete, but it’s already so dark in the pines I can’t find it. I need the flashlight. I look for it, but it’s too dark to find that either.

..****************..
…..NOTE: While you are at The Campground, you can see the traffic on South Dakota Rt73, to East about ½ mile.

As you see in /\ Above /\ Photo AND mentioned (and shown in Fifth Photos Previously), These Black Clouds Did Produce A Violent Thunderstorm Later That Night, But Contrary To The ZMM Narrator, The Mosquitos Were Relatively Few.
….The ZMM Narrator mentions they were badly swollen from mosquito bite the next morning. This is possibly because back in 1968, the lake was relatively new: Given time to stock the lake with fish, they will eventually eat up the Mosquito Larva, and remove the pain, literally. Because I (Henry S Gurr) camped here (June 18 2002), prior to the onset of hot weather, the few mosquitoes that came after me were quite manageable. The same is true in Summer 2006, when my Son David & I again camped there, minus any rain or storm. ((To view dark photos, turn off lights near your computer, and increase screen brightness.))
