My First View Of Actual "Yellow Stone”

… “‘What has brought them to the temple—no single answer will cover—escape from everyday life, with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one’s own shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from his noisy cramped surroundings into the silence of the high mountains where the eye ranges freely through the still pure air and fondly traces out the restful contours apparently built for eternity.’ … The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind is akin to that of the religious worshipper or lover. .. The passage is from a 1918 speech by a young German scientist named Albert Einstein. “ (Continued fm previous)

Myers Road = Rt-311, From Myers Bridge, About Half Way Back To I-94 at Custer, MT.

As Mentioned In The Third Photo Previous, My Story How I Got Here
….To Take The /\ Above /\ Photo

…..Back in July 2002, after I finished my ZMM Route Research in Hysham, MT, I wanted to find & continue toward Laurel, MT, on road(s) likely used by Robert Pirsig in 1968. .…
….At the time, I thought I was following the Old Rt 10: But somehow a wrong turn took me away from the any hint of Old Rt 10, and unfortunately followed Rt-311 = Myers Road, which went over the Yellowstone River, onto a maze of back country dirt roads”
….These formed a labyrinth of scattered road forks, in every which-a-way- nonsense. In sum, this turned into a long and anxious detour, and away from any recognizable road on my map! Even my GPS, was limited help!!”
…On a Satellite Map), the trace of Myers Road, is clear & easy to follow. However, back in July 2002, driving on the dirt road was anything but clear. I just kept going and following the largest most traveled track, and finally last gasp, tired, hot, and about out of gas, got back over the Yellowstone River, at the Intersection with I-94 at Custer, MT.”
….And now (July 28, 2021) as I type up this paragraph, I clearly remember => I My frantic, near panic, attempts to get back to “civilization”, and find a gas station, before car ran out of gas!!.
….But In Retrospect, For The Adventurous ZMM Traveler, Myers Road, Qualifies As A ZMM Quality Road!
