A View Looking East, Because Road From Red Lodge Has Curved.
….We See the Broad Leafs Along the Stream And 1988 Fire Damage In Pine Trees At Left.

Beartooth Highway, MT. The /\ Above /\ Photo shows the road I just came up.. ….It’s almost my turn at the “roadblock”. I don’t have time even to walk far enough to keep my car out of the photo.
….The fire damage in the pines must be part of the major 1988 Yellowstone National Park fire. This also will be seen in my later photos.
….You can see why my notes said, [car shifts to] “lower gear”.
….************** …
The ZMM Book’s Main Focus In Every Chapter Is The Chautauqua Lecture.
….Consequently, Much Of The Passing Landscape Remains Unmentioned
….. No passing scenery, no matter how spectacular or interesting is “written about” unless it “poetically amplifies” the lectures ahead or just passed.
….Otherwise, what is (was) great scenery had to be bypassed by Author Pirsig, with no comment, no descriptions, nor indication of its presence.
….Such is the case for the road from Red Lodge to the mountain switch-backs. Similar requirements constrain me, in my choice of photographs to be included in this Gallery.
….But sometimes, even if there is no applicable ZMM passage as is the case at this WayPt = 129, I opt to show additional photos to fill in the gaps in the travel scenery.
