Back In 1968 Coastal Shrubs Like These Seen Close-Up Left Of Photo Center, Probably Originally Completely Covered The Surrounding Land.

…This Probably Forced Chris And The Narrator To Be In The Weeds & Rough Grass Immediately At The Pavement Edge Seen Right Of Photo Center.

…As Best We Know From Author Robert Pirsig’s Map X For His "Climax Scene", The Location Of The ZMM Narrator’s “A High Point ” Is At The Side Of The Road Curve Pavement Shown In /\ Above /\ Photo.

…This Likely Would Be Close To The (Left Of )The Two Metal Reflector Post, Seen Beyond The Foreground Weeds At Road Curve.

…On the preceding page the Narrator tries to explain to Chris, why he (the Narrator) is about to experience another breakdown, and that Chris may never see him again. They try to decide on someone who will take care of Chris, but even this has no solution. The Narrator continues =>
…“"It’s not your fault, Chris. It never has been. Please understand that." .. His gaze fails in a sudden inward flash. Then his eyes close and a strange cry comes from his mouth, a wail like the sound of something far away. He turns and stumbles on the ground then falls, doubles up and kneels and rocks back and forth, head on the ground. A faint misty wind blows in the grass around him. A seagull alights nearby.
…Through the fog I hear the whine of gears of a truck and am terrified by it.” (Cont Next)

ZMM Narrator’s “High Point”, Point Cabrillo Dr, about 1.2 travel mile Southwest of Caspar, CA.
