This Google Satellite View Shows What Is Now The “Cascade Meadows RV Resort” Along US, And Is With Near Certainty, The ZMM Narrator’s “Housing Development” With the “Ridiculous Small Lots”. Which Is 5.8 Miles North of La Pine, Oregon.
The ZMM Narrator Says =>
…”Farther south we find a forest of scrubby trees, subdivided into ridiculous little lots. Some developer’s scheme apparently. At one of the lots far off the main highway we spread out our sleeping bags and discover that the pine needles just barely cover what must be many feet of soft spongy dust. I’ve never seen anything like it. We have to be careful not to kick up the needles or the dust flies up over everything.”
…”We spread out the tarps and put the sleeping bags on them. That seems to work. Chris and I talk for a while about where we are and where we are going. I look at the map in the twilight, and then look at it some more with the flashlight. We’ve covered 325 miles today. That’s a lot. Chris seems as completely tired as I am, and as ready as I am to fall asleep.”

The ZMM Narrator’s “ridiculous little lots”, Along US-97, Just North of La Pine, Oregon.
…When Author Robert Pirsig saw these “little lots”, he was likely thinking these were lots for permanent houses, rather than smallish places for Camping Trailers & Small Mobile Homes
Just Where Is The ZMM Narrator’s “Housing Development” With The “Ridiculous Tiny Lots”?
…As stated, in my 2002 ZMM Route Research, I was UNable to locate the Narrator’s Central Oregon Campsite. Thus My photos used to represent the Narrator’s and Chris’s campground, were taken at the Corral Springs Campground 34 mi South of Lapine, Oregon. The camping experience and landscape there was quite similar to the Narrator’s descriptions, there concerning spongey volcanic dust & early morning frost.
