NOTES CONCERNING DAVID MATOS & HENRY GURR TRAVEL, AFTER CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK.
…After going by the Park’s South Gate, we tuned leftt (East) and traveling Southeast on Rt-62, to where we arrived at US-97, where 800 feet Northeast, is.the very likely location of The ZMM Narrator’s => “ Roadhouse Restaurant.Described As This =>
… “We travel down the eastern shore of Klamath Lake on a three-lane highway that contains a lot of nineteen- twenties feeling. That’s when these three-laners were all made. We pull in for lunch at a roadhouse which belongs to this era too. Wooden frame badly in need of paint, neon beer signs in the window, gravel and engine drippings for a front lawn.
Inside, the toilet seat is cracked and the washbowl is covered with grease streaks, but on my way back to our booth I take a second look at the owner behind the bar. A nineteen-twenties face. Uncomplicated, uncool and unbowed. This is his castle. We’re his guests. And if we don’t like his hamburgers we’d better shut up.
When they arrive, the hamburgers, with giant raw onions, are tasty and the bottle beer is fine. A whole meal for a lot less than you’d pay at one of those old-ladies places with plastic flowers in the window. As we eat I see on the map we’ve taken a wrong turn way back and could have gotten to the ocean much quicker by another route. It’s hot now, a West Coast sticky hotness which after the Western Desert hotness is very depressing. Really, this is just transported East, all of this scene, and I’d like to get to the ocean where it’s cool as soon as possible.
I think about this all around the southern shore of Klamath Lake. Sticky hotness and nineteen-twenties funk. . . . That was the feeling of Chicago that summer ….”

The NEXT PHOTO’s “Explanation”, Tells How ZMM Expert Lee Glover, happened to discover The ZMM Narrator’s Klamath Lake Restaurant, called the “Rapids Café”, and get photos, which are shown in the Subsequent 4 Photos.

David Matos & Henry Gurr, continued South on US-97 thtu Klamath Falls, Oregon, and found various roads to Medford, Oregon.

Later, David Matos & Henry Gurr, Turn West Along The ZMM Narrator’s I-5 Freeway Where ZMM Narrator Says =>
…“When we’re through the folded hills we come to Medford and a freeway leading to Grants Pass and it’s almost evening. A heavy head wind keeps us just up with traffic on upgrades, even with the throttle wide open.” “Coming into Grants Pass we hear a frightening, loud, clanking noise and stop to discover that the chain guard has become caught in the chain somehow and now is all torn up.”

And, As David Matos & Henry Gurr, Drove Towards Grants Pass, Oregon,
…somehow David & Henry took a wrong turn, and failed to follow The ZMM Route, and became totally lost & disoriented!.
…Moreover, time was getting short to meet Bill Quaccia & Blue Nelson at The Welder’s Shop near Grants Pass, Oregon. …. Consequently. David & Henry did not try to backtrack find the correct route, or take time to find other sights worthy of stopping. Especially so, since Henry’s 2002 Photos were/are sufficient, and can be viewed in forthcoming photos.
