Since This Road Is “Twisty Hilly”, Down To Blacktail Creek Valley, It Fits The Narrator’s Definition Of A Good Road! =>
…..You Should Be Pleased To Use It !!
(ZMM page 005)
…. " We have learned how to spot the good ones on a map, for example. If the line wiggles, that's good. That means hills. If it appears to be the main route from a town to a city, that's bad. The best ones always connect nowhere with nowhere and have an alternate that gets you there quicker."
(AND page 003)
…. "It is a kind of nowhere, famous for nothing at all and has an appeal because of just that."
(AND ZMM page 004)
…" Plans are deliberately indefinite, more to travel than to arrive anywhere. We are just vacationing. Secondary roads are preferred. Paved county roads are the best, state highways are next. Freeways are the worst. We want to make good time, but for us now this is measured with emphasis on "good" rather than "time" and when you make that shift in emphasis the whole approach changes. Twisting hilly roads are long in terms of seconds but are much more enjoyable on a cycle where you bank into turns and don't get swung from side to side in any [automobile] compartment. Roads with little traffic are more enjoyable, as well as safer. "
