Scenery Along The Rogue Valley Highway, Rt-99. A Second View Of A Lush, Green, Exquisite, Beautiful Valley!
…Above Is Seen What Again, Looks Like A Vineyard, Which Runs From The Highway, All The Way To Bear Creek, Which Is In The Lowest Area, This Side Of The Distant Mountains.
…However, Looking Closely, It Is Seen That => The Rows Of Thick Green Foliage, Are Much Wider Than A Typical Vineyard. And Below The Thick Green Foliage, Are Seen Tree Trunks, Spaced About 5 Feet Apart.
…Thus, This Is More Likely An Apple Orchard, Or Peaches, Or Similar.
NOTE: Starting At The Previously Mentioned => A Steeper Descent Down To Schoolhouse Creek Valley, and continuing all along Rt-66 thru Ashland, Oregon plus 50 miles along Rt-99 Northwest of Ashland, Henry Gurr used Google Street View, to look close for any evidence of Author Robert Pirsig’s “Vinyards”. Here and the previous photo, are the ONLY places where, what looks like a vineyard, is seen.

Scenery Along The Rogue Valley Highway, Rt-99. Another Beautiful Springtime Valley Scene!
…The Welding Shop Of Alexander Henry McGregor, at 3100 Rogue River Road, about 1.2 Miles East of Grants Pass, Oregon. The Rogue River Is In The Lowest Area, This Side Of The Distant Mountain.
…The Welding Shop Is Boarded Up, Because It Was Closed Perhaps Soon After Dec 1975.
The ZMM Narrator Says =>
… "Aren’t you going to braze it?" I ask. … "No," he says. Talkative fellow. … He sparks the torch, and sets a tiny little blue flame and then, it’s hard to describe, actually dances the torch and the rod in separate little rhythms over the thin sheet metal, the whole spot a uniform luminous orange-yellow, dropping the torch and filler rod down at the exact right moment and then removing them. No holes. You can hardly see the weld. "That’s beautiful," I say.”… Grants Pass, Oregon.

Well folks:
The above completes my Show & Tell Concerning Lee Glover’s several times suggestion, of the most likely ZMM Route of travel in Oregon, that has best views of Robert Pirsig’s “Exquisite Valley” =>
…From the small town of Klamath Falls, Oregon, To about 40 miles Northwest of Ashland, Oregon.
And NOW, I’m out of time and gumption, so I’ll. have to quit.
Sincerely Henry
