Part II: The Illustrated "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Chapters 8 thru 15.  

A Cathedral Aisle of Pines!

…. “The forests return. We move among rocks and lakes and trees now … .

Beartooth Highway, WY.

We are now well beyond all the u-turn tight switchbacks, and have been experiencing smooth, easy, scenic driving!

SIDE NOTE:
….You’ve likely noticed that, the last several photos do NOT say where along the Beartooth Highway my photo are located. This is because in this wilderness area there are almost no readily available “markers’, such as Towns or Road Intersections.
For Persons Who Whish To Know =>
..A) The specific location of certain of my photos, can send an email. OR
..B) How To Obtain A Computer File Of => The WayPoint GPS Coordinates.gpx for nearly all of my photos. This file is available. Just send an email request explaining how you could use these GPS Coordinates.

For Persons Who Want To Display A Given Set Of GPS Data Points On A MAP
….Please Know That WayPts Saved To => A Computer File.gpx Can Be Loaded Into The \/ Below \/ Digital Devices, Which Typically Will Then Add The Waypts To A Map

..C) Practically any handheld GPS Unit or Cell Phone.
..D) A variety of Computer APPs that are designed to do this: For Example =>
..E) Google search will help you find APPs, which add WayPts, to a map: But be forewarned =>It is NOT easy to find good software for computer map display of GPS Coordinates Data.gpx =>
After Much Research, I Found The Following Effective, Reasonably Easy To Use Apps =>
….1) EasyGPS gives a good GPS Data Map Display: This is a free download: HOWEVER to add Roads & Geography Features To The Map, require $ subscription.
….2) Similar to 1) ExpertGPS gives a good GPS Data Map Display, but is considerably more powerful and more features: This is a free trial download: HOWEVER eventually you will have to $ purchase continued use.
….3) In this Photo Album, you’ve seen TOPOZONE.com displays of a Single Selected WayPt: But to do this requires special steps, and takes ~5 minutes of work. Please send an email, if you want to know how I do this.
….4) Also: In this Photo Album, you’ve seen GOOGLE SATELLITE displays of a Single Selected WayPt, but this also requires => A Proper Technique => Which you can discern from this EXAMPLE => RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT “NEW TAB” Will Come-Up Where You See =>
..a) Left Panel, Top Field, Typed-In are my Exact #’s of my WayPt = 151w (with minus sign)
…. For youm dear reader, if you wish to see some OTHER WayPt, just replace these Exact #’s, with your numbers.
..b) The Right Satellite panel Shows WayPt = 151w Camera Location For The NEXT PHOTO OF THIS ALBUM, and you will see in The Satellite View=>
….i) RedPinpoint Mark => Which is The Camera Location.
….ii) “Pilot Peak” & “Index Peak” together mark location of Beartooth Mountain Formation.
Please send an email, if you want to know more how I do this.

F) One Of The BEST (And Free) GPS Data Map Display APPS, Is The Computer Application Called GoogleEarth. => . Which does an excellent job of displaying a Satellite View of these mountains, with added a) Roads, Towns, Etc and b) Added all ~500 of my Imported GPS Coordinates for each of my 2002 Photos.
… An especially nice feature => The GoogleEarth Display somewhat reveals the 3D these mountains, by manually doing a ClkDrag of the landscape!
G) A Very Nice (And Free) Satellite Map Is GoogleEarth, Displayed on your Computer’s Internet Browser. => This also does an excellent job of displaying a Satellite View of these mountains, with added a) Roads, Towns, Etc and b) Added ONE of my GPS Coordinates (manually typed-in), for my 2002 Photo or The ZMM Narrator’s “Twin Walls of Snow” .at WayPoint = 142 10,679ft.
….This Browser Version ALSO has the above-mentioned especially nice feature => The GoogleEarth Display somewhat reveals the 3D these mountains, by manually doing a ClkDrag of the landscape! Try it you will like it!
