Historic Olive Hotel At Sunset. Looking Northwest.
"It was a good thing we stopped [here last night]. We were so stupid with exhaustion we didn't know how tired we were."
Olive Hotel, Fifth & Main, Miles City, MT.
When asked where their Miles City Hotel was located Mr. Pirsig (20 Nov 2002) said: "I vaguely remember we came into Miles City on Route 12 and turned right at around N. 7th St, plus or minus a few blocks, and maybe went up a hill for a block or so and then found a hotel on the southwest side of that side street—or maybe it was a Pizza place and the hotel was somewhere else. Sylvia found it and we didn't have much money and she was pleased with the price. So pick the cheapest hotel in that area in the year 1968 and the probability you have found it will be increased. lt wouldn't be the St. Paul Hotel. I would have remembered that name. On the basis of prices alone I would guess the Stone hotel. You might try writing to John Sutherland." I have yet to pursue Mr. Pirsig's suggestions. Does any one have any information to offer? Mr. Sutherland does not remember. ************************************
