Court House Lawn and General Town View.
“At Red Lodge the road’s almost joined to the base of the mountain. The dark ominous mass beyond dominates even the roofs of the buildings on either side of the main street.“
Red Lodge, MT. The ZMM Restaurant is two blocks “up hill” from the Court House on same side. Especially note the Narrator’s fear-generating “dark ominous mass .... dominates .... “. Here is another fearful Motif which we must add to the earlier warnings “sudden cross-gust of cold air comes heavy with the smell of pines, and soon another and another, and as we approach Red Lodge I’m shivering.“ these warnings combine into a bigger than ordinary emphasis. We are to wonder what is going to happen in those mountains. This is for you. the reader to begin worrying about!! New Topic re Narrator's “smell of pines“ from those “dark ominous“ massive mountains! I did attempt to identify the smell of pines, but could not identify this until just prior to my departure from Red Lodge. My notes for Red Lodge verbatim say: “open car door -- smell pine -- different from pines at home = sweet perfume -- altitude 5733.” But earlier, just before I took this photo, I smelled mountain laurel! Following the wind, I found that the pollen-ly sweet perfume came from a huge beautiful bush on the next street East.
