Part IV: The Illustrated "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Chapters 27 thru 32.  

Please Imagine That This Is The “Housing Development” With the “Ridiculous Small Lots.

[ZMM Part IV. In the opening of Chapter 27 the Narrator is in the middle of a very bad dream. Then Chris calls: ]
…“"Dad! Wake up!" .. "I’m awake." I can just barely make out his face in the dawn light. We’re in trees somewhere outside. There’s a motorcycle here. I think we’re in Oregon somewhere. .. "I’m all right, it was just a nightmare." .. He continues to cry and I sit quietly with him for a while. "It’s all right," I say, but he doesn’t stop. He’s badly frightened. .. So am I. .. …. It was just a bad dream." I tell him he’s shivering and should get back into the sleeping bag. .. He does this. "It’s so cold," he says. .. "Yes." By the dawn light I can see the vapor from our breaths. Then he crawls under the cover of the sleeping bag and I can see only my own. .. I don’t sleep. .. The dreamer isn’t me at all. .. It’s Phædrus. .. He’s waking up. .. A mind divided against itself. . . . me . . . I’m the evil figure in the shadows. I’m the loathsome one.. . . . .. I always knew he would come back.. . . . .. It’s a matter now of preparing for it.. . . . . The sky under the trees looks so grey and hopeless. .. Poor Chris.” (End Chapter 27)

5.8 Miles North of La Pine, OR.

Where Is The “Housing Development” With The “Ridiculous Tiny Lots”?
…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, OR. The camping experience and landscape there was quite similar to the Narrator’s descriptions.

…However, Further Study July 11, 2021, Using Satellite Views => Results in my (Henry Gurr’s) Best Finding =>…The ZMM Narrator’s overnight campsite was at an early construction of the . “Cascade Meadows RV Resort”.

The Blue Link Below, Shows Google Satellite View Of The Location Of What Is Now The Very Successful “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.
