A View Of The Newer Road, US-95, Going South =>
….The ZMM Route Now Heads Uphill South, And At The Top Will Descend Down And Into The High-Walled Salmon River Canyon.

The ZMM Narrator Says =>
…” Now we must head forward across this baking desert to wherever the road leads.” …. Start Chapter 25 …..
…”This morning a solution to the problem of stuckness was discussed, the classic badness caused by traditional reason. Now it’s time to move to its romantic parallel, the ugliness of the technology traditional reason has produced.
…The road has twisted and rolled over desert hills into a little, narrow thread of green surrounding the town of White Bird, then proceeded on to a big fast river, the Salmon, flowing between high canyon walls. Here the heat is tremendous and the glare from the white canyon rock is blinding. We wind on and on through the bottom of the narrow canyon, nervous about fast-moving traffic and oppressed by the fiery heat.”

About one mile South of White Bird, ID.

…The ZMM Narrator’s “wherever the road leads“ implies (and mirrors) the burden he feels that he must now, in a NEW Chapter, take-up the NEW AND TOUGH SLOG, through the topic of “technological ugliness “ wherever it takes him, as he takes-up the “dry” topic (corresponding to the surrounding dry landscape, and trapped into this topic, similar to the travel is trapped in a High-Walled Narrow Canyon, as he discusses his proposed solutions to these problems.
….At this point, it is implied that there is no way to escape this upcoming difficult Chautauqua Topic Task, just as surely as it is inevitable that the road South, will enter a deep, nearly inescapable, barren, hot, river canyon.
….He will use down-to-earth, ordinary, everyday examples, corresponding to their lower altitude and barren circumstances.
…Please be aware that =>
…..1) The Narrator’s above top passage. is situated approximately one mile prior to White Bird, and farther from the Salmon River. And
…..2) The Narrator’s above longer lower passage. is situated well after White Bird, …”between high canyon walls.” of the Salmon River Canyoun.

…. Since I came through almost a month earlier than the Narrator, my photos generally show the land retains a bit of green, contrary to the Narrator’s above passage.
….Based on the Narrator’s poetic usage of town names, I am sure he likes the poetic ring of the words “White Bird”.
….The above photo shows the road one mile South of White Bird. A Better Photo to fit this ZMM Passage is needed.
