…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!!

July 2024 Added: … At The Start Of Chapter 25: The ZMM Narrator says =>
… ”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.”
