…Scrolling View To Right, In The Distance You See, The Same Wide Valley, Mentioned In The Previous TWO Panoramas.
…Now, At The Right Edge Of The Iconic Deep Grooved Mountainside, Look VERY Closely Tiny, To Faintly Discern The Previously Mentioned “Line Of Green Trees, Essentially Along White Bird Creek, Straight To The (Un Seen) Small Town Of White Bird, ID.” This Shows The ZMM Narrator’s =>… “Into A Little, Narrow Thread Of Green”, About Which You Will Learn More In Forth-Coming Photos.
…Scrolling To ~Mid Panorama, To The Left Of The Two Larg Shrubs, In The Distance You Can Pick Out, The Road Cut Of The NEWER US-95. And Here You Realize That The Camera Elevation Is More Lower, Than Seen In Previous Panorama,
…After Mid Panorama, You Can See That The Road We (David Mator & Henry Gurr), Have Been Traveling Completes, A Tight Turn To The Right, And Goes On To Soon Complete Another Tight Turn To The Left.
…In The Right End Of This Panorama (View Southeast), You Again See The Iconic Deep Grooved Mountainside. .… Scrolling View To Right, In The Distance You See, The Wide Valley With The Previously Mentioned “Line Of Green Trees Essentially Along White Bird Creek, Straight To The (Un Seen) Small Town Of White Bird, ID.
…Scrolling To ~Mid Panorama, In The Distance You Can See, The Road Cut Of The NEWER US-95. And Here You Realize That The Camera Elevation Is Somewhat Lower Than => The US-95 Road Cut Below The Distant Highest Mountain,
…After Mid Panorama, You Can See That The Road We (David Mator & Henry Gurr), Have Been Traveling Completes, A Tight Turn To The Right, And Goes On To Soon Complete Another Tight Turn To The Left.
…Scrolling To Right End Of Panorama, You See Henry Gurr’s Toyota Prius, Parked In UPHILL Direction! The Reason Discussed Below
…In The Right End Of This Panorama (View Southeast), You Again See The Iconic Deep Grooved Mountainside.


NOTE1:
…As Henry Gurr & David Matos drove down from the top of the newer US-95, we thought for sure, we should travel say 5 miles, and then would spot the turn off, between a cut in the guard rails, and even see marker signs. But we went right by the correct turnoff. without a clue, until to our dismay, we saw the signs for White Bird Town:
…Only later was it discovered that => , The actual turn off was about a mile down from the top of the newer US-95, and this turnoff, has NO guard rails anywhere close.!!
NOTE2:
…Because The ZMM Travel Narrative describes events proceeding DOWN White Bird Grade, this Series of Panoramas should properly show this Same Ordering.
…And of course, Henry Gurr & David Matos also should have driven DOWN
… However, try as we may, we unawares, entirely missed the turn off, from Newer US-95, onto White Bird Grade, Old US-95.
…So, when we reached White Bird Town, we decided to drive UP White Bird Grade, and take photos as we found good Photo Locations. AND THIS, is why most of these White Bird Grade Panoramas show our Toyota Prius, parked in an uphill direction.
NOTE3:
…Thus, there is a moral to this story => When you want to stop at certain place while traveling, looking for it, is almost certain to fail, as happened to David Matos & Henry Gurr, on this July 2024 trip, over SIX times!!.
THUS, It is a MUST => a) Expect failure to see what you are trying to find!!. b) Thus, to reduce chance of failure => c).put the place location into a GPS. d) Also, mark the location on a paper map, and e)Then go slowly & watch VERY attentively!!
