A Forest of Scrubby Trees Similar To Those Where the Narrator and Chris Likely Camped.

…. [ “ ….forest of scrubby trees, “ ] “ subdivided into ridiculous little lots. Some developer’s scheme apparently.“ (Cont.Next)

Somewhere North of, but close to, La Pine, OR.
..****************..
Where Is The Housing Development “With The Ridiculous Tiny Lots”? 2002 ZMM Research & Findings.
....From Bend, OR, while traveling South towards La Pine, OR, I traveled slower than usual, and closely studied the landscape on both sides of US-97 looking for any present-day evidence of these “ ridiculous little lots..“
….For many miles prior to La Pine, practically ALL of the land adjoining the highway is under the close control of the National Forest Service. No houses or businesses AT ALL!
….As I remember, the land visible from the highway, was fairly flat and, except for various private property, was covered with pine forest, dense enough to block vision at a depth of 30 feet into the forest. This flatness seemed to extend for at least a mile in all directions. The surrounding mountains were not high enough to be seen above the trees, as I drove

A Place That Might Qualify As The Narrator’s 1968 Campsite At “ Ridiculous Little Lots..“ Was A Semi Populated Area Centered Around A Major Side Road Along US-97, About 5 Miles North Of La Pine, OR.
.….This place was on a side road, as I remember it, and the only road, dirt or paved, for quite a distance prior to La Pine. OR. I remember there were buildings on the East side of US-97 in that immediate area. If there were any road (or drive) going East in this area, it is a minor road. In addition to other nearby private properties near that intersection, there is a fairly large mobile home park on the NW corner where the side road intersected with US-97.
….Judging from the general quality of the vegetation plus age of the mobile homes, this could well have been started earlier than 1968, and had mostly empty lots, because of a very slow rate of people moving into these sites. As is normal for most other trailer villages, it would eventually be … crowded side-by-side … Cheek by Jowl on Small Narrow Lots! (Continued next)

(ChangesSinceRobertPirsig’s1968Trip), As Seen By HSG in 2002 & 2021.)
Starting with my above stated 2002 ZMM Research Findings, I studied Google Satellite for the Narrator’s “ridiculous little lots“, and found a very likely candidate, 5.8 miles North of La Pine, OR. This Satellite View Shows => My (Henry Gurr’s) Best Finding As To => Where Is The Housing Development” With The Ridiculous Tiny Lots“
….The RedPinpoint, marks => “Cascade Meadows RV Resort”, AND as you can see in the Satellite View (Image Data 2021), these “lots” are indeed small, because it is for Camping Trailers, rather than a Mobil Home Trailer Park, or a Housing Development. (GPS Coordinates are in the Blue Link. ))

PostScript:
….You see that my above statement (from memory and research paper notes back in 2002), of where I had seen these lots back in 2002, is mostly correct, except the lots are in the SE on the SE corner where the side road intersected with US-97, rather than the NW corner:
