… In The Crooked River Valley, you will see a wide flat valley with distant hills on both sides. This valley has moisture and irrigation water from the river, and thus is greener than other highland areas of Central Oregon.
… Some places you will see the highway and Prineville Railroad run side by side, and several other places the highway crosses over the tracks.
NOTE2:
…. In going FROM Prineville, Oregon TO Prineville Junction, Oregon => Both Rt-370 (O’Neil Highway), AND the City of Prineville Railroad, travel in Crooked River Valley.
…Leaving Prineville, Oregon, the railroad goes NW approximately a mile North of the highway, but the river, highway, and railroad become quite close in going through the town of O’Neil Oregon, and continuing side by side going West for ~3 miles. The rest of the way to Prineville Junction, OR they remain not too far separated.
NOTE3:
…. Since the Narrator (and Robert Pirsig in July 1968) must have traveled this Rt-370 Highway, it necessarily becomes “The ZMM Route”: And rightly so, since it is a narrower, slower, less traffic, less populated, & more scenic route. In other words => A Higher ZMM Quality Highway And Travel Experience!
