Along The Jefferson River, Closer To => “. A Narrow Canyon Of Whitish-Tan Rock ” ~2 Miles SE Of, Jefferson Island, MT. .... Whereas my previous 4 Photos of the Jefferson River Valley, mostly show grassy slopes, and some places rather black looking rocks.
….But by contrast with my other photos => The /\ Above /\ Photo, in the slopes of the Mountains on both sides, are where you can in fact see the tan rock layers of the Narrator’s => “ whitish-tan rock. “ These tan rock layers will ALSO be seen and discussed, in the SECOND Photo Next.

SIDE NOTE:
… On the FIFTH Previous Photo Showing The Parker Homestead, I discussed the Narrator's use of Poetic Connections, there called my ”Metaphoric Bridge-Connections.". This raises the question: So how does the Narrator find these poetic connections between Chautauqua Lecture and Travel Narrative of Local Scenery?
….Clearly, it is a property of Author Robert Pirsig’s wide experience and a very active mind. Some may come from memory or spontaneous inspiration while he travels.
….I’m convinced that many of the connections (especially when prompted by catchy/poetic town names) come from the narrator’s repeated consultation with maps, while he traveled and while he wrote ZMM.
….In many cases, Topographic (Topo) Maps were consulted. (See ZMM p 21, 36.) When a “poetic / metaphoric idea came along, perhaps he wrote these into his 1968 travel notes, or marked them on his map, that he had open on his cycle gas tank.
….Several places in ZMM, he says he consults his map on the cycle gas tank as he is in motion. Some place he says the map is open to the current segment of read and strapped onto the gas tank of his cycle.
