Chapter 8 opens in the fresh clear morning air of Miles City. The Narrator is in back of his hotel performing maintenance on his cycle. This is the occasion for a Chautauqua lecture on the entirely rational process of trouble shooting and repairing. The successive steps to repair the Narrator's machine serves as concrete examples of what his lecture is about. We also learn how the Narrator, the Sutherlands, and Chris are to spend their time in Miles City. As our ZMM Travelers "<i>follow the Yellowstone Valley right across Montana.</i>", we learn detailed lessons about how science and rationality are applied in motorcycle maintenance. We are to understand A corollary: The <b>same</b> processed to fix a motorcycle, are used to construct all of science! Examples and passages from Einstein and Poincaré' show the relation of maintenance to science and mathematics. The Narrator tells us more about the mysterious Phaedrus. After a wonderful stay in Laurel Montana, the riders start up into the mountains, and take one of the highest paved roads over Beartooth Pass into Wyoming, and then into Yellowstone National Park. The Narrator expresses his great disappointment in national parks. A wonderful and beautiful description of the mountain "high country" serves as a wonderfully poetic introduction to the Narrator's "high country of the mind" and this is the occasion for a long introduction to the history of Philosophy and Phaedrus' relation to it. We learn more about Phaedrus' earlier life as teacher of Rhetoric at Montana State University Bozeman. This is our introduction to the DeWeese Family where our riders will stay for several days. At the beautiful DeWeese mountain canyon home, we also learn more about Phaedrus' problematic past and about how technology is an art and must be practiced with "<i>peace of mind</i>"! Part II closes with Narrator making plans to hike and camp the nearby mountains with Chris. <br /><br />LINKS <br /><A HREF="http://www.zmmquality.org/Documents/PhotoSlideShowHowTo">Slide Show Instructions for Photo gallery.</a><br /> <A HREF=" http://www.usca.edu/math/~mathdept/hsg/ ">Contact Me to Contribute Information, Ideas, Stories, Photos, etc or Ask Questions. </a>.</b> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Pirsig" TARGET="_blank">Robert Pirsig in Encyclopedia.</a><br />
