The ZMM Narrator Says =>
….[the road] [“ …. cuts into a narrow canyon of whitish-tan rock, past some Lewis and Clark caves. … “]
Along The Jefferson River, Approaching “. A Narrow Canyon Of Whitish-Tan Rock ” ~2 Miles SE Of, Jefferson Island, MT. ..
..****************..
SIDE NOTE1:
…. The Previous Panorama Photo, and the /\ Above /\ Panorama Photo, and the Next Panorama Photo, Are each A Stitched Composite of 3 Individual Photos, and are all taken at the Same Place along The Jefferson River, which here by happenstance is Flowing East toward Three Forks, MT. . … And please know that the Subsequent 2 Photos show how => The ”Canyon Is So Narrow that The Road Is Jam Tight Against The High Cliff”, where The Jefferson River there is flowing ~South.
SIDE NOTE2
…. In ZMM Book, After Typically ~2.5 Pages of his Chautauqua Discussion, the ZMM Narrator Will Make a “Metaphoric Bridge Connection”, Which Is An Abrupt Switch FROM his Chautauqua Discussion TO his Travel Narrative Description: …. And When This Happens, Author Robert Pirsig Will Write Into ZMM, Travel Narrative Details Such As =>
… A) The Travelers’ Arrival At The Next Named Town + Some New Scenery. AND
… B) Nearly Always, Author Pirsig “Works In”, Poetic/Metaphoric Bridge Connections , Between 1) The Travel Narrative Description, and 2) The Travel Narrative Descriptions.
And, As Has Been Discussed In Previous Photos, Author Robert Pirsig Makes These “Metaphoric Bridge Connections”, Every ~2.5 Pages,.Because =>
….He discovers, and works into the story => How the travel conditions relate metaphorically / poetically to the current Chautauqua Lecture, and conversely.
….However, in the travel from Three Forks, MT to Hall, MT there are NOT any such “connections” in ZMM. Apparently Mr. Pirsig couldn’t find or invent any. Perhaps the Poincaré topic is too important to withstand an interruption for scenery or anything else.
….There must be powerful reasons, because after Hall, MT, the Narrator again (in continuing the Poincare’ Chautauqua), also fails to mention when he and Chris get back on the highway. To my recollection, this is the only place where this kind of “story discontinuity” takes place. Although there may be other additional reasons, the Narrator mentions no town name here in the Jefferson Island area

…NOTE: The FOURTH NEXT Photo Showing => “A High Walled Canyon Near, Jefferson Island, MT”. =>, Has A Link To => A Google Satellite View that is a CLOSER ZOOM-IN on this photo location (Red Pinpoint) where => “The Canyon Is So Narrow, the Road Is Jam Tight Against The High Cliff”. This is on Rt-2 , by Jefferson River near Jefferson Island, MT. This photo also has additional extensive explanations. What You Need To Know around this area of the Jefferson River.

A Note To Prepare The Reader (You) For The Next 23 Photos To Come:
….Just prior to Three Forks, MT, the Narrator, after introducing Poincaré, finishes his 4.5 page Chautauqua on the Three Geometries. Then, per normal practice before he returns to Poincaré, he introduces a half page of Travel Narrative Scenery, which follows the ZMM Passage Italic above =>
…“ East of Butte we go up a long hard grade, cross the Continental Divide, then go down into a valley. Later we pass the great stack of the Anaconda smelter, turn into the town of Anaconda and find a good restaurant with steak and coffee. We go up a long grade that leads to a lake surrounded by pine forests and past some fishermen who push a small boat into the water. Then the road winds down again through the pine forest, and I see by the angle of the sun that the morning is almost ended.
....We pass through Phillipsburg and are off into valley meadows. The head wind becomes more gusty here, so I slow down to fifty-five to lessen it a little. We go through Maxville and by the time we reach Hall are badly in need of a rest. “..
But This /\Above/\ Italic ZMM Narrative Is Anything But Normal! As You Will See In Next 24 Photos =>
…This /\Above/\ Italic half page of ZMM Travel narrative, encompasses => An immense range of scenery, ten towns, 110 miles of travel.
….For me (Henry Gurr ZMM Route Researcher), this ZMM half page, used 8 hours travel & research, during which I took 65 photos and 12 pages of paper notes single spaced.
….I won’t tell you how long it takes me get this same part of my research trip, prepared and uploaded to ZMMQ Gallery, but it well exceeds by five, my corresponding road travel time!
….All of this the Narrator covers in a half page of text!!!
