On Approximately The Fifth Tier, Beartooth Highway, MT.
..AND Standing Beside Quad Creek, A Small Mountain Melt-Water Stream =>
….There Is a Frightful Place To Look Way -- Way – Down!
….[ “ There’s no way to fall off. No danger to the motorcycle. ]
……Just a memory of places where you could throw a stone and it would drop thousands of feet before coming to rest and somehow associating that stone with the cycle and rider. “
At Switchback curving around In The Melt-Water Cut of Quad Creek, Fifth Tier Up, Beartooth Highway, ~14 Miles After Red Lodge, MT. In the /\ Above /\ Photo => Standing on one tier, you are looking way down along the Cut of Quad Creek, and can discern the valley floor and two other tiers way, way, way down. Although being here is terror-ific, there is a doubled-heavy guard-rail that’s nearly continuous, and well maintained. This will not allow that which fear suggests: =>. Going over the edge!

Suggestions To User: =>
..4) Although TopoZone Maps are a really great resource, they unfortunately do not mark the “WayPt = ” on your screen.
..5) When the TopoZone Map comes up, please know that => The “WayPt = ” is in the EXACT CENTER of your computer Screen.
..6) SUGGESTION => As best you can estimate, place a SMALL ~”Sticky Tag Pointer” to mark screen center.=> Then Click-On => [[Plus & Minus]] => And IF your “Pointer” is CORRECT, it will still mark the same relative place on the Topo Map.
..6) Since this ~”Sticky Tag Pointer” will likely be useful (when you look at a future TopoZone Map), may I suggest you leave it there temporarily.
