This Color Photograph Shows Road Cuts of The Historic Beartooth Highway Soon After Completion.
….This Is A Copy Of The “Huge Photo” That Was IN The Red Lodge Café, As Discussed Previous Photo.
…. “ And up and up, over one of the highest paved roads in the world. I feel some anxiety about this, which I realize is irrational and try to get rid of by talking about the road to the others. There’s no way to fall off. No danger to the motorcycle.“
..*********..
….In the photo you can see the white painted centerline, thus the road is paved. But evidently, the Beartooth Highway originally was Unpaved and, as you will notice in the photo, had NO guardrail!!
….Thus the Narrator having just viewed the /\ Above /\ Photograph, had much more reason for fright than he let on.
Red Lodge Café, Red Lodge, MT. …. This /\ Above /\ Photograph Was Taken By Brent Egenes Of Flash’s Photography Store.
….I deduce that The then owner of Flash’s Photography Store, who was Mr. Brent Egenes, was the person who took this photograph perhaps as long ago as 1945. The 3 gents whom I interviewed (see previous Red Lodge Café Photo) remember this photo as being in the Café ever since that date.
….NEW TOPIC: At the bottom of the /\ Above /\ Photo =>
You should especially notice what looks like Volcanic Rocks. To me, this adds Interest and Reality to the Resulting Photo, and are indeed ZMM Book “Quality” in action.
….AND, for anyone who actually attempts to find this Photo Camera Location, they should climb till they find such a Volcanic Rock Outcrop!
..*********..
…. Mr Brent Egenes’ son, Thomas Egenes, has been the owner of Flashes Photography, which was at 21 S Broadway, Red Lodge, MT. (406) 446-1940. However the store is now closed.
….The NEXT PHOTO is A Topographic Map Showing =>The probable Camera Location from where Mr. Brent Egenes took his 1945 Photo,. Of The Road Cuts of Historic Beartooth Highway.
