ZMM Pans Disc =Each of the Very Wide Photos in this "Album of Panoramas", has been made by "stitching" together (typically) eight different photos. As you are looking at these panoramas, you will be "scrolling", (left to right) through each of the 8 original pictures, in 360 degrees of rotation. The full width of these panoramas is about seven feet!! Suggestion for Beginners: Place your "mouse pointer" on the photos in this album (any photo in this Gallery) and if it "shows a hand", then a "mouse click" will give you will (most of the time) get a much larger view. Typically you will have to twice in succession "click-the-photo", to get the largest and best view. At this magnification, the panorama photos you are viewing are about 7 feet wide, so the view is quite dramatic!! Second Suggestion for Beginners: When you have the largest view of a panorama, you must use the "slide bars" at right side (or bottom) of the photo to view the whole picture. First use the right hand slider to adjust the picture up-down to see both land and sky. (You may have to "mouse drag" the top if the window way to the top, and drag the bottom as far as possible down. Ditto for the right and left sides of your screen window.) Then use the bottom "slide bar" to scan the whole photo, left to right. The caption of each panorama will (usually) indicate the direction of the ZMM Route and the direction of Geographic North. Third Suggestion for Beginners: Be sure to note the "Homepage” at the lower right of this (and every) Gallery page. A mouse "click on it", will take you to Menu Items (near top) that will take you to detailed information about all my Gallery Photos and how to view them. CAUTION: The Full size of these panoramas can not be viewed in slide show.

Please take the time to enjoy these truly unique viewing experiences! Panorama Credit: Many thanks to John Westbrook Jr. and his trusty G4 Macintosh + AdobePhotoShop, for such care and precision in preparing these art-full panoramas!

Following the Route of the California Gold Rush ‘49s (In Reverse Direction): This album shows Panoramas of my return trip.

Introduction: My ZMM Research, following the "ZMM Route", of coursed ended in San Francisco. On my way home to Aiken, South Carolina, I first visited Stutters Fort, Sacramento. It is still there, but now a Historical Monument. This was a good start point for following the California Trail (backwards) into Nevada and Idaho. In Idaho, now joined with the Oregon Trail, I followed both trails (backwards) from Southern Idaho to St. Louis, MO. Along the route were fantastic wide open natural landscapes, many informative local history signs, commemorative monuments (re California/Oregon Trail), and a wonderful fossil museum at the Fossil Butte National Monument.
After I left San Francisco, I traveled East on I-580 and crossed Altamont Pass by Livermore and through Stockton. In Sacramento, I was quite excited to visit the old Stutters Fort (mentioned above). Going N. East, I soon switched into the old paved road, parallel and just south of I-80. This is the old route of the California Trail over to Donner Pass. I followed the Historic California Trail (backwards) into Nevada. In fact, following the entire Historic Trail of California Gold Rush ‘49ers was a very rewarding experience! Very thrilling both for the history experienced (first hand) and the incredible natural beauty and open spaces. Altogether, my trip back was just as thrilling as the ZMM route itself, which is saying something!!
Moreover, as mentioned elsewhere in this Photo Gallery, I have one of Robert Pirsig’s old National Geographic full size wall maps on which a pre-1968 versions of the ZMM Route had been "inked-in". Significant to this discussion, the “Route of the ‘49ers’ is likewise marked on this map!
Thus, for Pirsig Pilgrims, there are multiple reasons why I highly recommend ‘49ers route. Here now are my panorama photographs taken on my return trip. Henry Gurr, June 07.

Special Note: These Panoramas were arranged and edited by Stacey Mosier. Ms. Mosier, a Graphic Arts Major at the University of South Carolina at Aiken, recently transferred to the University of South Carolina at Columbia, the "Main Campus".

Following the Route of the California Gold Rush ‘49s (In Reverse Direction). This album shows photos of my return trip back to my home in Aiken, South Carolina.

Introduction: My ZMM Research involved following the "ZMM Route, and of course, ended in San Francisco. On my way home from "The Bay Area", I first traveled to Stutters Fort, now a Historical Monument. This very large fort and terminus of the California Trail is now a wonderful well preserved museum. AND it is a very good way to learn about the lives of the "Emigrants" on the California Trail. For me this was the start point for following the California Trail (backwards) into Nevada & Idaho. In Idaho, the California Trail joined with the Oregon Trail, I followed the combined trails (backwards) through Southern Idaho to St. Louis, MO. Along the route were fantastic wide open natural landscapes, many Informative Local History Signs, Interpretive Centers, Museums, Commemorative Monuments (re California/Oregon Trails), and a wonderful Fossil Museum at the Fossil Butte National Monument.

Details: Starting from my home in Aiken SC, my Research lead me, of course, to Minneapolis, and then along the ZMM Route to San Francisco, and close to my son’s, David Gurr’s, home then in Palo Alto, CA. I arranged to stay with him for about two months. There I rested, visited, and toured around with my son: We toured, mountain drives, beach vistas, Frank Lloyd Wrights buildings, nature museums, etc). I also made computer back-ups of all my ZMM Route photos, re-read and edited all my ZMM Route research notes, and visited friends in Irvine, California. On my drive to (and from) Irvine I studied & photographed the St Andreas Fault and visited the J. Paul Getty Museum near Santa Monica, CA. While in Palo Alto, David and I also traveled to see my Nephew, Edward Gurr, and family in Mariposa CA. He treated us to a trip up to the Sweetwater Gold Mine. This was quite exciting.
After I left Palo Alto, I traveled East on I-580 and crossed Altamont Pass, by Livermore and thru Stockton. In Sacramento, I was quite excited to visit the old Stutters Fort (mentioned above). After an overnight visit with friends, in Chico, CA, I "angled SouthEast to I-80 at Auburn CA. Going now N. East, I soon switched into the old paved road, parallel and just South of I-80. This is the old route of the California Trail over Donner Pass. As I followed the Historic California Trail (backwards) into Nevada, I was in fact, following the entire Historic Trail of California Gold Rush ‘49ers! This was a very rewarding experience for me! Very thrilling both for the history experienced (first hand) and the incredible natural beauty and open spaces. Altogether, my trip back was just as thrilling as the ZMM route itself, which is saying something!!
Moreover, as mentioned elsewhere in this Photo Gallery, I have one of Robert Pirsig’s old National Geographic Full Size Wall Maps on which a pre-1968 versions of the ZMM Route had been "inked-in". Significant to this discussion, the “Route of the ‘49ers’ is likewise marked on this map!
Thus, for Pirsig Pilgrims, there are multiple reasons why I highly recommend ‘49ers route. Here now is a selection from my photographs taken on my return trip. Henry Gurr, Dec 04. Rev Oct 07.
