The Yellowstone River Here Has Submerged Rocks Polished, With Scrape Marks, By An Old Glacier

…. “ This morning sunlight is the same as yesterday’s except warmer and softer now that we’re at a lower altitude again.“

Yellowstone River, 14.2 Miles Downriver From Gardiner MT, Which Is 0.9 Miles Upriver From Miner, MT..
I stop to read a sign that describes the Glacier Polished Rocks with Scrape Marks submerged here in the river. My notes say that I see what looks like a glacier terminal moraine 3 miles further downstream.

“ There is nothing unusual. It’s just this archeological feeling that the calmness of the surroundings conceals things. A haunted place. .. I really don’t want to go there. I’d just as soon turn around and go back. .. Just tension, I guess. “

0.9 Miles Upriver From Miner, MT. US-89 is a newer high speed paved road. It is most likely that the Narrator and Chris traveled the older parallel road, Rt-540, which cuts off to the right 3.7 miles after Miner, MT. The ZMM Pilgrim will want to follow this slower, but good gravel road! = “ Follow The Track of Quality! “

…. “ It fits one of the fragments of this memory, in which many mornings the tension was so intense he would throw up everything before he got to his first classroom. He loathed appearing before classrooms of students and talking. It was a complete violation of his whole lone, isolated way of life, and what he experienced was intense stage fright, except that it never showed on him as stage fright, but rather as a terrific intensity about everything he did. Students had told his wife it was just like electricity in the air. The moment he entered the classroom all eyes turned on him and followed him as he walked to the front of the room. All conversation died to a hush and remained at a hush even though it was several minutes, often, before the class started. Throughout the hour the eyes never strayed from him.
… He became much talked about, a controversial figure. The majority of students avoided his sections like the Black Death. They had heard too many stories.“

…1) You will see one of many examples of how the Narrator actively looking at his surrounding landscape => “ the calmness of the surroundings conceals things. A haunted place I guess. “ , is then prompted into his following story! This could be Master Motif?
…2) The Narrator, 3rd paragraph uses the word “fit": This word is used in ZMM (with variations) approximately 32 times.

July 2024 Added: … Is It Possible To Find A Photo Vantage Point, That Has A Good Fit To The Bantam Copy Or ZMM Book, Back Cover Image?
….The Goal Would Be To Show That Indeed, The Bantam Back Cover Image Showing => River. Bridge, & Mountain Scene, VERY WELL Coincides With A Real Physical Location, Which, As Lee Glover Suggests, Is At The Montana Yellowstone River Bridge, Along Murphy Lane, At Emigrant, MT.
… Such A “Photo Good Or Perfect Fit” Would Essentially PROVE The Bantam Back Cover Started With An Actual Real Photo!!
…As you will see in 3 forthcoming photos, Lee Glover’s Video shows a relevant vantage point and is among the better we know of. Lee’s Video was taken at a location (about 1000 feet Northwest of the Yellowstone River Bridge), which was near Murphy Lane, at Emigrant, MT,
… In The /\Above/\ Satellite View => At Lower Left, To Right Of US-89, You Will See Murphy Lane, And Just Above You Can See => A) At Big Circle Marker “River & Bridge, Which Are In The [ZMM Book] Photo, With Emigrant Peak Beyond.” And B) See At White Dot Marker “Third Place To Pull Off And Park Along Short Road. Near US-89, Is Likely Where Lee Glover Video Taken.” .
…Murphy Lane is the road, that goes over the above-mentioned River Bridge. In the /\Above/\ Photo, this Lane runs East from the word Emigrant shown in White.
….As you will see, Lee wanted his Honda Cycle to be in his video, but moving the bike down the slope was quite difficult, so he stayed close to US-89.
….Following Lee Glover’s pioneering results, additional effort should get a better fit to the Bantam Cover: There are various places (Vantage Points) to try, such as marked in /\Above/\ Photo at => A) Along US-89, at the marked => “First (or Second) Pull Off And Park.”, and then adjust the mountains, river, & bridge for a “best fit” to the Bantam Cover.
…OR B) Starting at the marked => “Second Pull Off And Park.”, then walk Northwest along the short Canal Crossover road, then climb UP the slope => To high enough elevation, so the river and bridge, can b seen without being blocked by trees. The Mountain & River & Bridge Part Of The Scene, shown on The Back Cover of The Bantam New Age Edition, Of ZMM Book.

…Lee Glover has given further guidance => “Another problem is the perspective and distance to the bridge and mountain. The perspective seems to be compressed which would indicate a long lens was used which makes both the bridge and mountain appear closer and larger than they actually are.”
…Thus, to get good photos, must have a Hi Resolution Camera with Telephoto Lens. .

********************

General Considerations For Taking Photos => That Are A “Best Fit” To The Back Cover Of The Bantam New Age Edition, Of ZMM Book.
…1) Take earlier photo shots at locations, which are NOT the estimated best locations. This way, the earlier shots, are a practice for the following shots, for which you want to be in your best Quality State Of Mind.
…2) Of course, to get a “Best Fit” To The Back Cover, will need to move around to get a useful camera vantage point, which has => The view of the River + Bridge, which are correctly aligned with the slopes on the Right Flank of Emigrant Peak, in the background..
…3) When arrive at any one Vantage Point location, because of trees, it is NOT likely to see both the river & bridge, as shown ZMM Back Cover. …. Of course, here starts the arduous job of finding places where a shot will have both the bridge with the river close to the left.
…4) On the /\above/\ TopoZone Map, potential good Vantage Points are marked as => “ V Point 1”, “ V Point 2”, “V Point 3 ”, etc.
…5) Extensive exploration with Google Street View, shows that => Any photo taken from along highway US-89 ( V Point 1 thru V Point 5, will mostly NOT have a full view of the Yellowstone River (or Bridge), because there is not enough elevation for a view of the river, above the many trees. This also applies to V Point 6,
…6) A good place to gain the necessary elevation, AND have the correct alignment of the River + Bridge, with the slopes on the Right Flank of Emigrant Peak => Starting at the marked => “V. Point 6”, then walk Northwest along the short Canal Crossover road, then climb UP the slope => To high enough elevation, so the river and bridge, can be seen without being blocked by trees, and on /\Above/\ TopoZone Mat is marked as => V Point 8: Up Slope From Canal Crossover Road.

July 2024 Added: … Lee Glover Remembers That => ZMM Book’s John Sutherland Said He Took The Photo, That Forms The Mountain, River, & Bridge, Part Of The Scene, Shown On The Back Cover Of The Bantam New Age Edition, Of ZMM Book.

Explanation By Henry Gurr =>
…As you see in the above image => The ZMM Bantam back cover shows a mountain, valley, river, and (look close), a bridge”, which are revealed with a magnifying glass, I believe the PhotoShop Image Artist, started with a real photo such as John Sutherland’s, thus giving sharp edges of the mountain edges & other details seen: Then added Man & Boy & Motorcycle, as a paste-on, and then added to the cover’s image upper left, the Vertical Wall Looking Granite Mountain Tops: I believe this “Granite Mountain Top”, was added above the Mountains in John Sutherland’s original photo.

Explanation By Henry Gurr Continued:
…Since the “Vertical Wall Looking Granite Mountain Tops” are very distinctive, I spent a lot of time, using Google Street View, looking for such a view, and found nothing even close, especially along the ZMM Route. Hence my belief these are purely the Bantam Cover Artist’s inventions and additions!!
….And it is good to know that => John Sutherland said he took the photo, despite what Wendy Pirsig said in earlier email. Thus, I’m inclined to believe that the basic central photo for the artist’s Bantam Cover was John Sutherland’s. I think his memory was pretty good.

In a September 27, 2021 Email, Concerning The Back Cover Of ZMM, Lee Glover Said => I
…I think this was an artist rendering based on John’s photo. Perhaps that is why they thought no credit was needed. …. The mountains in the background, especially Emigrant Peak, are too accurate to be just a drawing. It was clearly based on a photo. Plus, John said he took the photo.”

In a September 27, 2021 Email, Concerning The Back Cover Of ZMM, Gary Wegner Said =>
…On the back cover of my beat-up 1975 Bantam paperback. The part of the picture showing father, son and bike is an artist’s rendering. For example, compare the real bike [same as Pirsig’s and] Note the curve of the exhaust pipes and the placement of the mirrors, etc. etc.. The bike on the back cover looks more like an old BSA or Triumph. I’d bet father and son are also renderings.”

Following US-89 & The Yellowstone River, We Arrive At Southwestern Edge OF Livingston, MT.
….Looking Back at the Mountains of Yellowstone National Park.

…. “The school was what could euphemistically be called a "teaching college." At a teaching college you teach and you teach and you teach with no time for research, no time for contemplation, no time for participation in outside affairs. Just teach and teach and teach until your mind grows dull and your creativity vanishes and you become an automaton saying the same dull things over and over to endless waves of innocent students who cannot understand why you are so dull, lose respect and fan this disrespect out into the community. The reason you teach and you teach and you teach is that this is a very clever way of running a college on the cheap while giving a false appearance of genuine education.
.... Yet despite this he called the school by a name that didn’t make much sense, in fact sounded a little ludicrous in view of its actual nature. But the name had great meaning to him, and he stuck to it and he felt, before he left, that he had rammed it into a few minds sufficiently hard to make it stick. He called it a "Church of Reason," and much of the puzzlement people had about him could have ended if they’d understood what he meant by this.“

..****************..
….Going West on I-90 from Livingston, MT, & heading up to Bozeman Pass, the marginal road (old US-10), allows the "ZMM traveler a slower-pace" and a chance to stop and enjoy. To take this older highway, get off I-90 at the first exit just West of Livingston, MT.

[ “ .... we go over a low pass and into Bozeman itself. .... suddenly I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.“ ]

Halfway Down Bozeman Pass, Just East of, Bozeman, MT. As I went over this pass on my 2002 trip along this Interstate, I looked for a good photo place that showed the walls of the mountain pass and the edge of the town. But there was never any such view. And it was too late to go back.
…But in September 2006, I remembered to stop sooner, and /\ Above /\ Photo is the result, but minus any evidence of the town! All the brown grass is because of dry season in September.
….The blue haze is smoke from extensive forest fires in Colorado about a thousand miles away. Those fires must have been huge to cause this much smoke so far away! This smoke persisted for more than the two weeks duration my 2006 trip from Red Lodge through Bozeman MT, to Helena MT, and back through YNP, and the Grand Tetons!

….In The Distance, The Bridger Mountain Range.
……Although Bozeman Pass Is Out of View To The Left, It’s “Crack In The Mountains” Looks Just Like The “Low Place” In Horizon Center.

…. “We ride down out of the pass onto a small green plain. To the immediate south we can see pine-forested mountains that still have last winter’s snow on the peaks. In all other directions appear lower mountains, more in the distance, but just as clear and sharp. This picture-postcard scenery vaguely fits memory but not definitely. This interstate freeway we are on must not have existed then.

East side of Bozeman, MT.
..****************..
Despite Robert Pirsig’s 1968Trip Statement, He Must Have Used “The Interstate”, Because Reasonable “Higher Quality” Alternates Were Not Available.
…In the beginning of ZMM Chapter 14, as they ride into Bozeman, MT, The Narrator says ” This interstate freeway we are on must not have existed then.“ [When Phaedrus was teaching 1959-1961]. But by 1968, and the Narrator’s trip, the USA Interstate Highway System was generally complete. AND in Montana => The Montana Highway Department’s OWN Maps, show by year 1960, that the Montana Interstate Highways were completed. Click Here. For example => These maps show as completed => I-94 from the North Dakota Border thru Miles City, MT, to where it ends merging with I-90 In Billings, MT. And I-90 continues through Butte, MT to the Idaho Border
….From this we can conclude this is one of the VERY few places where Mr. Pirsig’s Interstate Highway memory back from his time at MSU, is not correct.

..****************..
…DATE-LINE: Sept 23, 2021, by Henry Gurr.
From ZMM, It Is Not Clear How Much The Narrator Could Travel “Non Interstate”, In Montana, However Much He May Have Wanted To.
….Along the ZMM Route, there are many places where Mr. Pirsig would have had a choice whether or not to use “The Interstate”. But In many places there are no other reasonable choices. For Examples see A) & C) => .
..A) Traveling West from Miles City, MT would initially have to be on I-94. But at Rosebud, MT, going West on Old US 10, would be likely be a very good road choice through to Hysham, MT.
..B) After Hysham, MT, the alternates to the Interstate are some longer secondary paved roads, which eventually get back to I-90 at Custer, MT Study your map for good choices => 1) Some connecting roads on North Side of Yellowstone River, OR 2) Paved road going SW from Hysham, MT.
..C) Going West from Custer, MT =:> The Interstate Marginal Roads (Some likely Old US 10), are available all the way through Billings, MT to Laurel, MT.
..********..
….Back in 2002, I did my best to find “Non-Interstate”: BUT back at that time, I did not realize that I should have started traveling West onto Old US 10 at Rosebud, MT. Thus I failed to photograph many sights likely seen by Narrator, Chris & Sutherlands in 1968.

….Most of the moisture here comes as irrigation or in the winter and spring as rain or snow. When late summer comes the non-irrigated land dries up as you see here.
….The Narrator and crew came through here in early July, so his “small green plain“ would have been factually correct, and they would have seen the valley as is shown in nearly all my other Gallatin Valley photos, except the /\ Above /\ September 2006 Photo.

…. The ZMM Statement => “ .. ‘To travel is better than to arrive’ comes back to mind again and stays. We have been traveling and now we will arrive. For me a period of depression comes on when I reach a temporary goal like this and have to reorient myself toward another one. In a day or two John and Sylvia must go back and Chris and I must decide what we want to do next. Everything has to be reorganized.“

Main Street Entrance to . Bozeman, MT. As you read the Narrator’s above passage, did you recognize a potential ZMM Master Motif? => “To travel is better than to arrive.“ … But paradoxically this phrase is used only twice.
…. As should be true for a book on “Quality”, the Narrator uses the word “Quality” ~480 times, “Better” 54 times, the phrase "Better Than" 15 times, and “To Arrive” 12 times. .
