Monday, July 22, 2024: … A First Panorama View From Crater Lake West Rim.
At Crater Lake, The ZMM Narrator Says =>
…“…into the National Park—clean, tidy and preserved. It really shouldn’t be any other way, but this doesn’t win any prizes for Quality either. It turns it into a museum. This is how it was before the white man came—beautiful lava flows, and scrawny trees, and not a beer can anywhere—but now that the white man is here, it looks fake. Maybe the National Park Service should set just one pile of beer cans in the middle of all that lava and then it would come to life. The absence of beer cans is distracting.
....
... and see the Crater Lake with a feeling of "Well, there it is," just as the pictures show. I watch the other tourists, all of whom seem to have out-of-place looks too. I have no resentment at all this, just a feeling that it’s all unreal and that the quality of the lake is smothered by the fact that it’s so pointed to. You point to something as having Quality and the Quality tends to go away. Quality is what you see out of the corner of your eye, and so I look at the lake below but feel the peculiar quality from the chill, almost frigid sunlight behind me, and the almost motionless wind.

In the Parking Lot, Fellow Tourists Can Hear Everything You Say.
… “ "Why did we come here?" Chris says. .. "To see the lake." .. He doesn’t like this. He senses falseness and frowns deep, trying to find the right question to expose it. "I just hate this," he says. .. A tourist lady looks at him with surprise, then resentment. .. "Well, what can we do, Chris?" I ask. "We just have to keep going until we find out what’s wrong or find out why we don’t know what’s wrong. Do you see that?" .. He doesn’t answer. The lady pretends not to be listening, but her motionlessness reveals that she is. We walk toward the motorcycle, and I try to think of something, but nothing comes. I see he’s crying a little and now looks away to prevent me from seeing it.“ (Cont. Next)

It’s Fantastic! What a View!! The Island At Right, Is a Small Cinder Cone That Pushed Up After the Monster Explosion that Created This Huge Crater.
…This Explosion Was In the Exact Middle of What Was Once A Much, Much Higher Mountain Called Mount Mazama.

In ZMM Author Robert Pirsig Decides The Scenery Mentioned:
…. The ZMM Narrator mentions many sights along the road, even mentioning minor details!! By contrast, usually when the Narrator (Robert Pirsig) encounters a park or a town that he doesn't approve of, he mostly just "passes-on-by" with no mention of it…. So why does the Narrator give a big mention of Crater Lake, despite his disapproval of it?
I Think This Is The Reason =>
….The Narrator wants to use this example to make => An Important Point => That Despite The Beauty, Too Much Pointing To It, Destroys it! Indeed, he goes on to say this is also true of Quality. Do you have other answers? Send Email.
See My Discussions Of "Narrator Pass-On-By With No Mention" In These Photos, Especially
..A) The "Drive Thru California Redwood Tree” In Leggett, CA.
..B) The Town of Kooskia, ID..
