Buildings In Distance Announce the Next Town.
"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.“
Bowman, ND. As my photos show, all of Rt12 from Mobridge, SD. to Miles City, MT, is now excellent highway. See caption three photos previous for more about the factual 9 July 1968 “record heat wave” the Narrator describes in the next 30 pages of ZMM.
