Close Up => West Side Wall & Entrance to DeWeese Home.
….Contrary To The ZMM Narrative, The Porch Deck (In This 2002 Henry Gurr Photo), Painted Light Blue To Match The House.

…. “We dismount and take off our riding gear and I see that the open porch deck he and his guests are on is unfinished and unweathered. DeWeese looks down from where it is only a few feet above the road on our side, but the V of the canyon slants so steeply that on the far side the ground descends fifteen feet below the deck.“

DeWeese Home, Gallatin Gateway, MT. Back in 1968, When The Narrator, Chris & Sutherlands arrived, the DeWeese Home was relatively new. That’s why the ZMM Narrator earlier in Bozeman,discovered that the telephone operator didn’t have the DeWeese Home phone number, or. directions to their house.

…. April 27, 2021, Tina DeWeese says => “This deck rail today is painted brick red and the Virginia Creeper and Pussy Willow have created a shield from the road, which has become heavily used by the public!”
….”Relative to your [Henry Gurr’s /\ Above 2002] Photo when the Willow and Virginia Creeper were BABIES!! This to the NW corner of the deck.” =>
…. Tina follows the above words with An Illustrative Attached Photo, which is the NEXT Photo.
….Speaking of her Parents in a later email, Tina said => They moved to Cottonwood in 1965.”. ….Thus in July 1968, three years later when the Narrator saw and said => “ the open porch deck “ could look new and unpainted to the Narrator, Chris, & The Sutherlands when they arrived..

Here Again We Note The Factual Precision Of ZMM.
…. One of Robert Pirsig’s Twelve Known 1968 Pictures shows Gennie holding a tray of Trout. But beside Gennie is seen a small portion of deck handrail, which indeed is unpainted, and relatively new wood, just as the Narrator says in ZMM Passage above.
…..Because this photo happens to be at the rear of the house, you can also see down the steep slope to Cottonwood Creek in the distance. These facts are also written into =>The Factual Precision of the ZMM Narrative!
… Mr. Pirsig's 1968 Color Photo Of Gennie DeWeese & Trout.
..************..

WE SEE FACTUAL PRECISION WRITTEN INTO ZMM.
…A) ZMM Passage 6th Photo Previous Said =>….“Right Out Of The Old Photographs.“
…B) AND In Above ZMM Passage We Read => “ Open Porch Deck He And His Guests Are On Is Unfinished And Unweathered.”
..… The Narrator gives us a related hint re how Robert Pirsig does his writing of ZMM => On page 110 when at (The Rock Creek Vista Point) he mentions they take obligatory “record photographs“!
…Certainly, this illustrates that as ZMM Author Robert Pirsig is writing, these photographs are on his mind. Of course, he tries to pretend he and his friends are NOT "tourists" as they take these photos.
