….And See Partly Into the Narrow Cottonwood Canyon Floor.

…. “ …. and the close-looming mountain. Just as we get to the pines, the gravel in the road becomes very deep. We slow down to first gear and ten miles an hour and I keep both feet off the pegs to kick the cycle upright again if it should mush into the gravel and start to go down.

…The /\ Above /\ 2002 Photo shows a view of the ZMM Route as it approaches Cottonwood Canyon Road, which is the road to the DeWeese Home
… . As you see, the road is smooth hard packed dirt, with a minimum of gravel. Moreover, this road was the SAME all the way up Cottonwood Canyon Road to the DeWeese Home. Thus by 2002, the amount of gravel was in no way as deep as The ZMM Narrator reports for 1968.
….And on my subsequent trips to the DeWeese Home, 2006, 2012, & 2019, this Cottonwood Canyon Road, itself was pretty much always the same each time, smooth hard packed, with a minimum of gravel.
…However … Because the next 12 Photos Show & Discuss The DeWeese Homestead, I wanted Tina DeWeese to review these 11 Photos, and make editing suggestions. I called her on the phone, and instructed her how to view this /\ Above /\ Photo.

DATE-LINE: April 16, 2021 => .(ChangesSinceRobertPirsig1968Trip),
….As Seen By Daughter of Bob & Gennie DeWeese => Ms. Tina DeWeese => .
….As Tina brought up the /\ Above /\ Photo on her computer screen, she instantly saw the South Cottonwood Road, with Glaring Yellow Road Turn Warning Signs: From this, she remarked that now this road was asphalt paved, and there were 5 more of those signs. And she had requested the Montana Highway Department to remove them, because these signs greatly detracted from the scenic beauty of the travel, but had no success. .
