![Time For a Rest At The Camp Buell State Historical Site. “ …. I suddenly notice the land here has flattened into a Euclidian plane. Not a hill, not a bump anywhere. This means we have entered the Red River Valley. We will soon be into the Dakotas. .... “ Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002): "Chris, Bob 1st day. N. D. --This is the picture that everyone sees in black and white. It was first sent to the English publisher, Bodley Head. They put it on their jacket and everyone picked it up from there. The location is a rest stop in North Dakota on the way to Oakes at about 5 or 6 PM during the first day out. The storm described in Chap. 3 was fictional." [[[It has been a long day in the direct sun. Notice red of severe sunburn on Mr. Pirsig's hands and face. After much search effort Gary Wegner finally found that this ZMM Rest Area photo was taken just South of]]] Milner, ND. Click on box = Camp Buell Milnor after you click here for map on Gary Wegner's Site. On 7 September, 2006, I visited this Picnic Table and Canopy. As my photos for ZMM Part I shows, the Buell State Park is most certainly the place Mr. Pirsig's above photo was taken in July 1968. My Part I photos will have more info re Mr. Wegner's search to find this site. If you have more information, Please click here to contact me by email, telephone, or U. S. Mail. Thanks.

![The Cycles Are Heavily Packed. It's Going To Be A Long Trip! [Start Chapter 3] “By the time we are out of the Red River Valley the storm clouds are everywhere and almost upon us. .. John and I have discussed the situation in Breckenridge and decided to keep going until we have to stop. “ Just South of Milnor,
SD. Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002): "Sylvia, Chris, John 1st day N.D. --Same location as A." [[[Although it has been a long day, Chris doesn't look tired.

![The ZMM North Dakota Camping Narrative Was Taken "Right Out of This Photo!" "We drive down a county road from Lemmon, exhausted, for what seems a long, long time, but can’t be too long because the sun is still above the horizon. The campsite is deserted. Good. But there is less than a half-hour of sun and no energy left. This is the hardest now. .. I try to get unpacked as fast as possible but am so stupid with exhaustion I just set everything by the camp road without seeing what a bad spot it is. Then I see it is too windy. This is a High Plains wind. It is semidesert here, everything burned up and dry except for a lake, a large reservoir of some sort below us. " Liewellyn Jones Recreation Area, Shadehill Reservoir, SD. Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002): Morning Campground, S.D. --This scene is from the beginning of Ch 6 at the campground in South Dakota. The accompanying text is: .. "Later I turn and see John is up and looking at me uncomprehendingly. He is still not really awake, and now walks aimlessly in circles to clear his head. Soon Sylvia is up too and her left eye is all puffed up. I ask her what happened. She says it is from mosquito bites. I begin to collect gear to repack the cycle. John does the same. When this is done we get a fire started while Sylvia opens up packages of bacon and eggs and bread for breakfast."[[[ Detour in new browser frame for my photo at http://ww2.usca.edu/ResearchProjects/ProfessorGurr/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album03&id=acz ]]] ************************************ (Photo = Pirsig; D.

![Logging Road Campsite. July 1968. “The logging road is sandy, so I keep in low gear with feet out to prevent a spill. We see side roads off the main logging road but I stay on the main one until after about a mile we come to some bulldozers. That means they’re still logging here. We turn back and head up one of the side roads. After about half a mile we come to a tree fallen across the road. That’s good. That means this road has been abandoned.“ . > Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002):Idaho Forest Road--This is the scene at the beginning of Chapt. 24: .. "I get out of the sleeping bag. It's cold and I get dressed quickly. Chris is asleep. I walk around him, climb over a fallen tree trunk and walk up the logging road. To warm myself I speed up to a jog and move up the road briskly.

![Yes Indeed This Is What the Forests and Soil Look Like In This Area of Central Oregon. “ Farther south we find a forest of scrubby trees, subdivided into ridiculous little lots. Some developer’s scheme apparently. At one of the lots far off the main highway we spread out our sleeping bags and discover that the pine needles just barely cover what must be many feet of soft spongy dust. I’ve never seen anything like it. We have to be careful not to kick up the needles or the dust flies up over everything. “ Just North of La Pine, OR. > Mr. Pirsig’s caption (2002): Morning in Oregon--This is from Chap. 28: In the background you can make out a white helmet and beside it a sleeping bag that has Chris in it. The accompanying in text reads: "Cold out! Feels like winter! Where are we, that it should get this cold? We must be at a high altitude. I look out of the sleeping bag and this time see frost on the motorcycle. On the chrome of the gas tank it's sparkling in the early sunlight. On the black frame where the sunlight hits it it's partly turned to beads of water that will soon run down to the wheel. It's too cold to lie around. I remember the dust under the pine needles and put my boots on carefully to avoid stirring it up."[[[In the comments below you will see Mr. Ted Pirsig (Chris's brother) asked where I got these photos.
