From Hi Bank Of I-90, We Can See At Left “The Crack In The Mountains” Where I-90 Came Down The Pass From The East. AND To The Left, See The Letter “M”, Shown In White Rocks On a High Mountain, Which At Base Is The University of Montana. .

..****************..
….Unlike Eastern USA Which Has Plentiful Rain & Way Too Many Trees To Cut Down => Many Western Towns Have Their Town Letter Shown In White Rocks, On a High Mountain. This Is Successful Because It Is Too Dry For Visual Obstructing Trees, To Grow Faster Than Can Be Easily Controlled,

…. [ “ ….Chris taps me and points to a high hill with a large painted M on it. I nod “.] “ This morning we passed one like it as we left Bozeman. A fragment occurs to me that the freshmen in each school go up there and paint the M each year.
….At a station where we fill with gas, a man with a trailer carrying two Appaloosa horses strikes up a conversation. Most horse people are anti-motorcycle, it seems, but this one is not, and he asks a lot of questions, which I answer.

Standing High On Road Cut of, I-90 just North of downtown Missoula, MT. If you look closely you can see, at left, the deep crack between the dark green and the black, is where I-90 Came Down The Pass From The East. … The Big “M” is white spot to right of the crack. (If you hold the mouse cursor over the photo, you may see a “Hand”. This means the photo will go to maximum size consistent with the saved file. Click-on-it, and the photo will be large enough to discern that it is the “M”!)

You Should Have Immediately Noted The Reluctance (Again) For The Narrator To Do Anything Chris Wants, Even After Clear, Repeated Requests.
…. Look how weary and in need of a leg stretch. They could have stopped the incessant, sit on a cycle traveling for a while, and simply hiked up there! The ZMM Narrator is fond of mountain climbing and wants Chris to like it.
...What’s the hurry? In fact the Narrator repeatedly says “Don’t get in a hurry!”
….This is a vacation and the Narrator even says this trip is done so he can reunite ties with Chris.
…. So… Why Does The Narrator NOT Want Do What Chris Wants?
