.... The man asks, "Were you bucking that wind up to Missoula too?"
.... I nod. "It must have been thirty or forty miles an hour."
.... "At least," he says.
.... We talk about camping for a while and they comment on how cold it is. They never dreamed in Missouri it would be this cold in the summer, even in the mountains. They’ve had to buy clothes and blankets.
.... "It shouldn’t be too cold tonight," I say. "We’re only at about five thousand feet."

Why Do The Previous Four Photos, And The Next Four Photos Have So Very Much Information About This Area Of Idaho Called “The Lolo Trail Corridor”?

EXPLANATION
….I believe it is important for the ZMM Reader (you) => A) Should fully know the History, Sights, & Scenes, of the territory passed through, on the ZMM Route. AND B) Should learn as much as time allows about such territory.
….So, as you read ZMM, or Travel The ZMM Route => You should become familiar with where are the surrounding Historical Events & Landmarks relative to present day highways & forest roads, and relative to what the ZMM Narrator says. AND thus be able to look (with full understanding) at Satellite Views & Topographic (Topo) Maps.
….The Area Southwest of Lolo Pass, known as the ”Lolo Corridor”, has many interesting & important Historical Events & Landmarks. But these are both complex & distributed over a large area.
….THUS, I believe it is important to help your learning, by providing So Very Much Information About This Area, AND organizing it for easiest comprehension.


.BOTTOM LINE: ALL THIS INFORMATION IS TO HELP YOU =>
….UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE AND THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
………PLEASE TAKE TIME TO STUDY AND ENJOY!!
