俺要预先说明的是,这是个纯粹的户外帖,帖子里没有可以让你们男驴血脉喷张的艳遇激情、打野炮、混帐门之类的情节,也不会有0元穷游的嘘头,更没有黄色的图片。这里要讲述的,只是一个傻乎乎的老农民,不远千里独自去喜马拉雅山区,看雪山走山路不太艰苦的故事。 俺是一个山区农民,平时除了下地种庄稼和背着山货去城里贩卖外,也经常接一点私活。俺们山村周围经常有城里的户外俱乐部的驴友来玩,他们说平时工作压力大,到山里找点刺激以实现啥人生价值。反正他们城里人说话怪怪的俺都听不明白,他们来了俺就带在他们在山里面到处转,这样一天下来也有百把块的收入。为什么会这么说呢?因为没去之前以为那里的山路很难走,但走过以后才知道那里的山路与俺们山村的没多大区别,这样的山路俺们村里五岁的小孩都能走,大人走起来就像撒泡尿似的轻松自在。这次去尼泊尔玩是受了村里一位小名叫喜蛋的小辈影响,他上过几年的大学有出息了,现在已经出人头地的做了这里8264论坛一个版的版主,而且在城里开了户外用品店和户外俱乐部发了财。他有时候会回到村里面给俺看他电脑上的户外照片,并且教会了俺上网和发图片。他鼓励俺出去看看外国的山村是啥样子的,于是俺就去了尼泊尔的山区,在尼泊尔山里行走的外国驴友、中国游客看起来就像俺村里的村民一样亲切,俺山村的农民也是这样每天背着或挑着农具、肥料去自留地干活。喜蛋在城里面找了个媳妇,他媳妇以前是户外资料网的管理员,也是一位很有出息的姑娘。俺们的山村比较封闭,人也比较朴实。前两年喜蛋带着媳妇回山村一次,村里人以为管理员是和俺们地区专员差不多大的官,于是那天晚上很多村民专门换了新衣服去喜蛋家围观管理员,俺们山里的人就是实诚。驴友们刚开始来俺们山村玩的时候还弄出了点笑话,村里的老年人看到一些城里面来的姑娘、媳妇和不是自己男人的男人睡在一起有些看不惯,因为俺们山里的女人只和自己的男人睡觉。俺就跟村里的老人们解说城里来的驴友都是有文化的人,他们思想开放生活新潮,他们那不是在睡觉而是混账,俺可是一直帮着城里的驴友说好话,后来驴友来的越来越多大家也就见怪不怪啦。好了,啰啰嗦嗦说了一大堆该说点正事了,俺们山里人闲下来的时候就爱唠叨!俺先把一路上晚上住宿过的点列出来啦.....走这条线路的时间:2012年12月6日———17日,一路上除了看山还是看山。PHEDI(帕底)-------POTANA(帕塔娜)-------LANDRUK(兰得隆)-------JHINUDANDA(基诺)------BAMBOO(班布)-------MBC-------ABC(两晚)-------SINUWA(希诺瓦)------CHHOMRONG(从隆)------TADAPANI(塔达帕尼)-----GHOREAPANI(郭卵帕尼)(POONHILL)------TATOPANI(塔突帕尼)后面帖子里的地名俺就用中文来写了,外国字写着挺别扭的。下面先发一点俺去山上走路携带的主要一些装备物品啦.......关于鞋子:看论坛里老驴的帖子里说去山里走路包包和鞋子最重要啦。对此俺特别的重视,就一下子准备了三双鞋子。一双是前两年在县城里买的名牌旅游鞋,要99元人民币呢,它很好用,上山时很轻巧。当从ABC下山走雪路和一些冰路时也不打滑。当地有很多背夫也穿着类似的鞋,于是在山上行走时经常被一些外国驴友当成了背夫,这说明了这种鞋子在山上行走是很管用的呢!还有一双凉鞋,可以在行走时候和旅游鞋轮换着穿,它走起来同样的舒服。再就是一双拖鞋啦,它的用处不大,只有在晒太阳和洗澡时穿它。关于包包:于是出发前在喜蛋的户外俱乐部借了一大一小两个背包,这样走路正好可以一前一后的背两个包,以前给驴友带路时也经常的帮他们背上两个大包习惯了。关于棍子:第一天上山时就看到来往的驴友手中有二条花花绿绿很好看的铁棍子,看了很羡慕,但羡慕归羡慕,俺总不能像小孩子一样看到别人手中有好东西就缠着人家要是不?于是就忍了,当第三天到了一个名叫基诺的地方时终于忍不住了就在路边的树丛中捡了一根树枝整理了一下,再向当地的人家要了一条木棍子,这样俺手中也有二条棍子可以挥舞再也不用羡慕别人啦,哈哈。。。关于保暖衣裤:听说这个时候尼泊尔的山上早晚有些冷就准备了一件厚的羽绒背心和一件薄的羽绒背心,再带上一件秋裤白天可以把它当外裤穿,当早晚冷时就在它的外面套上一条乱七八糟裤子就行啦。关于雨衣:它可以防风、防雨、防雪,就把它当成冲锋衣来穿,效果还算不错,特别在ABC的下雪天穿着下山一样的防雪。关于披肩:在当地买了两条披肩,早晚在房间外面时用它披着防寒,晚上睡觉时把它和抓绒毯混合着盖在身上保暖用。关于抓绒毯:带了两条抓绒毯,一条薄的 睡觉时放在身体下,一条大的盖在身上,然后在大的抓绒毯上盖上一条披肩,再在披肩上盖棉被,这样晚上睡起来温度比较暖和帖身。关于小脸盆:可以在住山上旅馆时用来洗脸和内衣裤,它基本上没有份量,带着很有用。关于三脚架:这个就简单了 ,当到了一个位置想要到此一游时又没人帮你拍时,三脚架就可以用上啦。关于枕头:俗话说“外国的金枕头、银枕头不如自己熟悉的布枕头”,每家旅馆的枕头的软度、厚度都有些不一样,带上平时用的舒服的枕头能准每天的睡眠质量关于午餐肉:在博卡拉的超市看到有四川产的猪肉罐头,只要150卢比,就没舍得不买。于是就买三个带上山,这样在从出发到MBC时都天天有肉吃。关于葡萄酒:出发上山前在博卡拉买了一瓶葡萄酒,再向饭店的老板借了一个玻璃杯。博卡拉的商店里有很多的洋酒,比如白兰地、威士忌等等。。。!但俺是农民喝不惯这些洋酒,于是就带了瓶葡萄酒上去,喝了三天就喝完啦。关于苹果:上山前买了三公斤的苹果,这样每天吃上几个肠胃很舒服,当走到MBC时正好吃完。关于袋装果珍粉每天早上出发时候冲上一瓶有些浓度的果珍,当在上山途中身体疲惫时喝上一小口可以很快的恢复状态。这比较在山上买商店的饮料或瓶装水要经济实用。关于药品:俺们山里人的身体没有城市里的驴友那么娇贵要不停的吃药,平时有点小毛小病的抗抗就过去了,在这方面俺比山里的乡亲讲究了一点,俺带了一瓶复方黄连素,万一肚子不舒服的时候可以用它,很管用。作为一个山村农民想下决心国外太难了。俺们村里有个农民名叫王二狗,他经常隔个四五天走六、七十里的山路去城里贩卖山货,用你们户外的话来说他也算是俺们村里的十大徒步人物。他有时也帮着城里户外俱乐部的驴友带路,喜蛋已经把村里的一些闲置劳动力发展成了户外领队,城里驴友的钱特别容易赚,以前几个没事做的劳力现在都是快乐的户外领队啦。二狗现在手里有点钱了,但你要他也像很多驴友那样 花好多钱去很远的地方 走一些平时都在走的山路 他可不愿意,他说还要挣很多钱给她儿子盖个大房子讨媳妇呢。俺那里的人就是思想保守不懂得像你们城里面的驴友那样会享受生活!先发一张小环线、ABC的旅游地图,这是在路上的一个指示牌上拍的。12月6日第一天:博卡拉————PHEDI(帕底)————POTANA(帕塔娜) 10:00———1540 步行五个多小时 上午从博卡拉打了个出租车去上山走路的起点——帕底,车费46元人民币,下了车就可以从公路边的石阶上山,从帕底开始走的好处是一路都是正面对着安娜普纳尔峰与鱼尾峰。绝大部分的游客、驴友都把NAYAPOOLA作为步行小环线的起点,从帕第出发走小环线的这条线路只有零零星星的外国驴友才走。一路上要路过过去很多的小山村在步行到较高的位置时回望下面的峡谷这里的有些山路铺的整整齐齐比俺们村里的土山路要好走多啦。快到东布寺时天气有些飘云层了,鱼尾峰与安娜普纳尔躲在云里若隐若现。。。快到十二点时在一个小店的天台上喝酒休息,包里的三个肉罐头可以拿出一个来吃了,在这个十二天的步行中只喝了4次啤酒,他们的价格分别是:东布寺是25元人民币一瓶啤酒班布是38元人民币一罐啤酒ABC是54元人民币一罐啤酒郭卵帕尼去往塔突帕尼的路上小店是19元人民币一瓶啤酒菜单上的啤酒价格吃饭休息后继续前行。。。村民们在自己房子前的场地有棒棒打那些收上来的稻谷当地的鸡和俺们村里一样都是散养的,这样鸡味道会好吃很多。城里面的驴友去俺们山里玩的时候大多是吃的肚皮滚滚圆圆后才回城。经过了第一个门票检查站,12天的步行中要经过好几个检查站查票盖章。([]

童话的世界:魁北克城Quebec City是魁北克省的省府,魁北克省官方语言为法语,省内大多数居民是法国人的后裔,日常语言是法语。因历史原因,魁北克省和加拿大其他地方在语言、风俗等方面差别比较大,省内有些居民希望该省脱离加拿大的管治。1980年和1995年,魁北克省分别举行过一次全民公决,决定是否脱离加拿大自己独立,但都没有得到过半数选民的同意。 加拿大班芙Banff国家公园内弓湖Bow Lake加拿大班芙与美国黄石和澳洲爱象,并列世界三大国家公园。纵贯北美西岸的落矶山脉绵延万里,在美国构成了鬼斧神工的黄石景区,而在加拿大这一段则形成了以班芙为中心的一串宝石般壮丽的景点集群。 加拿大Jasper和Banff国家公园交接处的哥伦比亚冰川Columbia Icefield,面积大约为325平方公里,厚度为100到365米,每年降雪量约为7米。 Banff国家公园内的梦莲湖Moraine Lake,它位于十峰山下,海拔高度为1884米,湖泊面积为0.5平方公里。由于梦莲湖是一个冰川湖,因此只有到每年六月底,湖水才到达最高线,折射沉积的岩粉,呈现出美丽的蓝绿色。 温哥华内斯坦利公园Stanley park,就在温哥华的市中心,也是我去的最多的一个地方了)这个市内公园总面积为6070亩,几乎占据了整个温哥华市北端。斯坦利公园北临巴拉德湾Burrard Inlet,西临英国湾English Bay,是北美地区最大的市内公园。斯坦利公园人工景物极少,以红杉等针叶树木为主的原始森林是公园最知名的美景。 从温哥华到多芬诺Tofino大约需时半天,开车从海天高速公路Sea to Sky Highway前往搭乘渡轮BC ferry,沿途是海天一色,尤其夏季里晴空万里、天色湛蓝,美不胜收。然后还要再开车几小时方可到达。Tofino是著名的观鲸胜地,同时也拥有着壮阔的海岸线。 西雅图里的华盛顿大学University of Washington是一所世界顶尖的著名大学,世界大学排名第9位。华大中的建筑歌德式风格为主,中央广场为红砖铺,又叫Red Square。每到4月左右,樱花盛开,景色更是绝美。正对广场的苏赛罗Suzzallo图书馆是典型的歌德式建筑:众多拱门镶嵌人物雕塑,门柱与窗框上都雕有复杂精致的花纹。这个图书馆是华大里我最喜欢的地方。二楼阅览室的彩绘玻璃窗,在夕阳余辉的映照下会发出淡蓝色的光芒,更为这栋庄严而肃穆的建筑增添不少璀璨的色彩。 薰衣草盛开的时节,这一年,我刚刚到北美。 照这张照片的时候,已经是快要离开了,那一次的郁金香节,真应了“乱花渐欲迷人眼” 初春在温哥华的Garibaldi Provincial Park snowshoe,我爱这种非高海拔雪山,哈哈 纽约,纽约,复杂的城市 旧金山的金门大桥,是世界著名的桥梁之一,是近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上,历时4年和10万多吨钢材,耗资达3550万美元建成,由史特劳斯设计。因其历史价值,于2007年由英、美两国合拍成同名纪录片。上面拍的著名其他电影相当不少,从电影“毕业生”、“X战警3”到“007系列”都在这里开拍。顺便插一句:我很喜欢旧金山这个城市,充满了艺术气息。 美国非著名国家公园之Bruce Canyon National Park 美国Mt Rainier National Park中的Reflection Lake,这个湖名字就是反射的意思,我去的时候还不是最好 加州圣地亚哥San Diego的一个海滩 给我亲爱的虎鲸也放一张,这是在圣地亚哥的Sea World。接下来按顺序给大家慢慢道来,后面还有很多很好看的照片)这次20天横扫加拿大的旅程是在2012年8月完成的,当时决定回国,走之前想带着爸爸妈妈玩一次加拿大。不晓得大家觉得带爸妈出游会是一种什么感觉,那次阿林的经历是很累相当累但是又很有成就感。爸爸妈妈不会讲英文,我设计的行程中那些地方自己之前也一次未去过,需要安排相当详细,从各种交通工具到各种酒店。我爸又忘记带驾照。。。所以自驾都是由阿林一个人完成,最长的时候一天开了快10个小时的车。加上觉得那些代理证的其实都有点黑钱的嫌疑,连爸妈的证都是我自己搞的,所以是真的很累。但是要看着爸爸妈妈玩得那么开心,回去之后还一直回味,却也觉得真的很幸福很值得。作为子女,上学之后一直离家在外,玩的时候也多半顾着自己,户外那种爸妈更加无法参加,却忘记了其实他们也希望去看看这大千世界,更加希望享合家团聚的快乐。这次旅程,涉及到加拿大东部四个城市,落基山脚下三个国家公园以及温哥华周边,为了充分体验加拿大,阿林设计的行程使用的交通工具有飞机、火车、轮渡、租的车和自己的车。再贴一下行程计划:D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)加东7日:D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D3 租车前往尼亚加拉大瀑布(Niagara Falls),当日返回多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D4 白天游多伦多城市,傍晚坐火车前往蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D5 上午游蒙特利尔老城区,下午租车前往渥太华,游国会山,住渥太华(Ottawa)D6 开车前往魁北克城,游魁北克老城区,住魁北克(Quebec city)D7 游魁北克城周的脉脉含情瀑布(Montmorency Falls)和圣安妮大峡谷(Canyon Saint-Anne),之后开车回蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D8 游蒙特利尔城区,坐飞机返回温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)落基山4日:D9 从温哥华开往Valemount镇,住ValemountD10 游Jasper国家公园,开冰原大道(Icefield Pkway),晚上到Banff国家公园,住BanffD11 游Banff国家公园,开弓湖河谷公路(Bow Valley Pkwy),游Yoho国家公园,住灰熊镇(Revelstoke)D12 从灰熊镇开回温哥华,途径鲑鱼湾(Salmon Arm),住温哥华(Vancouver)温哥华周边(都住在温哥华):D13 卡皮兰诺吊桥(Capilano),UBC(英属哥伦比亚大学)D14 温哥华城区,格兰维尔岛(Granville island),史坦利公园(Stanley park)D15 爬松鸡山(Gross mountain)D16 游白石镇(White rock)D17 游马蹄湾(Horseshoe),走West dyke trail,游渔港小镇StevestonD18 经海天公路(Sea to sky hwy)到德国小镇惠斯勒(Whistler)D19 坐轮渡去维多利亚(Victoria),游维多利亚D20 打包行李,晚上去Spanish Banks Beach海滩看晚霞因为温哥华周边有些地方我去过多次,比如史坦利公园、白石镇、惠斯勒、维多利亚等,所以在讲述这些地方的时候,我会把之前自己去过时候拍的照片也插一些进来。在这20天旅程写完之后阿林会把大温地区其他到过的地方也介绍一下,说句真心话,温哥华的确是个宜居的地方,而且非常美丽。先放两张爸爸妈妈的照片,看他们笑得好开心! 提前两个月开始弄爸妈证,买机票的事情,列了一个详细的清单出来,大家如果需要也可以按照这个来整理哈,材料齐全应该都没有问。然后从打包行李到如何安检,飞机上注意事项还有下飞机怎么走,足足写了7页纸。还下载了海关入关表填好让他们带着,给他们打印一张纸写着不会讲英文以备不时之需。 D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)坐的是国航CA991,北京时间1550上飞机,温哥华时间1150到,北京和温哥华在夏天的时候是16个小时时差(冬天15个,因为夏天有summer saving time,就是国内说的夏令时)。他们好久都没有出来。。。让我担心了个够呛,而且机场停车费也很贵哦。后来晓得还是语言的问,排队排到那里因为语言问又重新排了个队。其实过关的问很简单,无非是:你从哪里来,你都哪里去,你要去干嘛。入境检查官都是哲学家。开始放两张阿林爸妈的,因为温哥华我实在太熟。。。自己懒得照相,后面的会主要放自己的照片哈)温哥华机场 YVR International Airport,也是人流量很大的。最大优点,离城区近,从我住的地方开车10分钟可达。 后来还看到参加伦敦奥运的加拿大运动员回国,真心很热闹有没有? 加国萌妹子两只,横幅上书:“欢迎回家,向日葵色板官方为你们骄傲”,很有爱。 这是阿林给爸妈找的住的地方,温哥华的家庭旅馆,住得还是很舒服的。我没照那么多照片,就直接拿人家网站上的来用了。这家家庭旅馆名字很汗,叫做“温佳堡”。。。为方便后来人,写地址:7751 Mccallan Rd V7C 2H6, Vancouver, 电话:778-968-2326. 为了证明他们的照片基本属实,放两张自己照的,当时木有点灯,所以比较暗。 D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)当天爸妈都很累,还有时差,就没做太多事情,第二天早上飞机前往多伦多,这是从温哥华机场出发前。航班:Air Canada, Flight 142, 800-1524Air Canada值得一说,和美国的航空公司百花齐放,于是份外便宜不同,加拿大的航空几乎被Air Canada垄断,导致加拿大的机票真心超级贵!看到这些印第安图腾没?这些就是加拿大的历史文化。。。就是收缴了当地印第安人,再拿这个当历史,说实话,阿林一直觉得很扯淡。再放一张爸妈的,从加东开始放我自个的)([]
〖前言〗“快起床,今天还要开4个小时!”从美西回来几周了,蟋蟀头还时不时假装向日葵色板官方仍在美西自驾途中。对美国的眷念和喜欢似乎超乎我俩的想象。美国,原本不是我俩向往中的旅行地,它太年轻太现代了,历史厚重、传统文化浓郁的国度才是向日葵色板官方的爱。所以,我俩去尼泊尔印度,去中东的约旦以色列,去泰国柬埔寨,去非洲的肯尼亚,甚至去朝鲜,但美国却迟迟没有排进向日葵色板官方的时间表。偶然的机会,看到一张波浪谷的照片,神奇的地貌激发出我的无限好奇。于是,我想是时候去美国看看了。27天,8000公里,向日葵色板官方在美国西部自驾了一个环线,却发现,那不过是美国广袤西部的一小片地域而已。美国人比想象中更亲切随和,他们不像印度人那样用“where are you from?”来刻意与向日葵色板官方套近乎,但“Have a nice day”却几乎是向日葵色板官方每天都能听到的口头禅。榜自由的美国人,其实却非常遵守规则,在有STOP志的路口,他们一定会停车三秒,即使这个STOP志是在人烟稀少的国家公园,也不会动摇他们对规则的遵守。两个人,一辆Jeep,驰骋在美国西部,这段自由自在,无拘无束的日子,我知道即使在很久以后都会是一段难以忘却的回忆。同事邓姐说,等老了,你可以把这段经历写成游记。我诧异,为何要到年老时才写游记?这不是现在就可以做的吗?当然,她并不知道我已经在论坛上写过无数游记,从我玩户外开始,每一次徒步每一次旅行,我都用文字在论坛上留下足迹。只是,微信的盛行,碎片文化的泛滥,当然,还有我的懒心,我已有一年半没写过游记了。而这一次,我决定不再给自己任何借口。直达电梯D1(9月20日)上海—广州—旧金山1、一张申报单换回300美元罚款2、租车——首度体验美国人的耐心3、飞过大洋来看你D2(9月21日)旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔1、第一次自助加油,101刀?2、半月弯——差点错过的风景3、鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light —意义大于景致4、鲜花盛开蒙特雷 5、日落17-Mile Drive6、恋恋不舍卡梅尔Carmel7、意外留宿大苏尔D3(9月22日)大苏尔—圣西蒙—Morro Rock—San Luis Obispo—Solvang—圣巴巴拉—洛杉矶1、失而复得的大苏尔Big Sur 2、两个逗比的Morro Rock3、善意满满San Luis Obispo4、在索尔万Solvang的童话世界里迷失一回又何妨?5、圣巴巴拉的晚餐D4(9月23日)洛杉矶——拉斯维加斯1、到此一游好莱坞2、气质超然罗迪欧3、拉斯维加斯惊艳一刻D5(9月24日)拉斯维加斯——大峡谷国家公园Grand Canyon National Park1、威廉姆斯与66号公路的不了情2、当墨西哥菜遇到浓浓善意D6(9月25日)大峡谷国家公园——Kanab1、在Yavapai Point看日出2、徒步光明天使步道3、巴士红线蜻蜓点水4、日落Grandview PointD7(9月26日)Kanab—Page—Kanab1、波浪谷抽,与幸运擦肩而过2、不期而遇格伦峡谷大坝3、梦幻羚羊谷4、马蹄湾,又遇老友5、夕阳无限好D8(9月27日)Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、锡安国家公园初印象D9(9月28日)Kanab—布莱斯峡谷国家公园1、红的岩,云的舞2、Sunset Point,岩柱的天然剧场3、徒步纳瓦霍环路4、一不小心,从Sunset走到Sunrise5、徒步皇后花园步道D10(9月29日)布莱斯峡谷国家公园—圆顶礁国家公园—盐湖城1、日出Surise Point2、绚烂如画的12号景观公路3、圆顶礁,没有大门不需收费的国家公园4、超速遇警察D11(9月30日)盐湖城—大蒂顿国家公园1、怀俄明的西部田园诗2、杰克逊的西部牛仔风D12(10月1日)大蒂顿国家公园—黄石国家公园1、大蒂顿东线,明信片般的风景线2、湖光山色大蒂顿D13(10月2日)黄石国家公园1、老忠实泉,忠实大于景致2、徒步牵牛花池环线3、雨意渐浓Black Sand BASIns(黑沙盆地)4、烟雨朦胧Biscuit Basin(饼干盆地)D14(10月3日)黄石国家公园1、寻找大棱镜2、不用下车的火洞湖环线(Firehole Lake Drive)3、彩锅喷泉原来是泥浆锅4、单行道的火洞峡谷环线(Firehole Canyon Drive)5、一不小心到了Mammoth(猛犸热泉)D15(10月4日)黄石国家公园—盐湖城1、再寻大棱镜,意外遇朋友2、迷失在诺里斯间歇泉盆地3、诗情画意MammothD16(10月5日)盐湖城—Moab1、盐湖城买胶卷2、5次停车助人,“向日葵色板官方来自中国!”D17(10月6日)拱门国家公园1、自驾,自助,自由2、艺术家的Three Gossips3、在南北窗拱门飞翔4、DeliCATe Arch,路途比终点更奇幻5、四川榕,不吃也罢D18(10月7日)Moab—拱门国家公园—峡谷地国家公园—Blanding1、半途而废的恶魔花园徒步道2、初见天空之岛3、Upheaval Dome,流星撞地球4、地球上的火星地貌D19(10月8日)Blanding—纪念碑谷—Kanab1、像阿甘一样奔跑2、在纪念碑谷拍一组大片D20(10月9日)Kanab1、波浪谷再次抽2、珊瑚粉沙丘州立公园,没有沙滩摩托就别去了3、日落锡安4、我想开餐厅D21(10月10日)Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、Angels Landing,勇敢者之路D22(10月11日)Kanab—Las Vegasl1、走,打枪去2、买,买,买D23(10月12日)Las Vgas—死亡谷—优胜美地国家公园1、迷茫死亡谷2、误闯入的风景D24(10月13日)优胜美地1、在Glacier Point,与半圆丘两两相望2、Tunnel View,无处不在的半圆丘3、新娘纱瀑布,你的面纱呢?4、寻找酋长岩,却拾一片秋D25(10月14日)优胜美地—旧金山1、抵达旧金山,归途倒计时D26(10月15日)旧金山1、洗车费100刀?2、招摇过市叮叮车3、花园锦簇,九曲花街4、渔人码头,到此一游5、旧金山,夜的魅结束语 预告片1— 纪念碑谷在纪念碑谷拍一组大片。空旷、荒凉,却有一种惊心动魄的美。 预告片2——拱门国家公园都说Delicate Arce的落日极美,但好天气也需要好运气。没有好运气时,至少我还可以有好心情。 预告片3——优胜美地国家公园在斑斓的秋色面前,很多时候,我只是配角。 预告片4——马蹄湾无数次在别人的照片里看到马蹄湾,但再美的风景,也只是别人镜头里的风景,只有当你亲临此境,此时此地,于是,这风景方才成为你的风景。预告片5——丹麦小镇Solvang如果你去丹麦小镇Solvang,记得一定带上两样东西:漂亮裙子和摄影师。 D1(9月20日)上海——广州——旧金山一张申报单换回300美元罚款3月,在天巡网搜9月下旬上海往返旧金山的机票,最便宜的机票竟然是携程上放出的南航,往返机票仅4967元,5000元不到。好处显而易见,便宜,但缺点是并非直飞,要到广州转机。去时在广州住上一夜,回程时广州中转2小时。但这缺点与便宜的票价相比,几乎可以忽略不见。广州,十年没去了,去时住一晚,喝个早茶再登机,怎么想都挺美。所以,还没办好美国证,向日葵色板官方已把去美国的往返机票买好了。现在办美并不难,自己填好160表,预约好面,带着轻松心情去面,有问必答,过关概率极高。而且,一就是十年。最重要的是,有了美,再办其他国家的证,会容易很多。要说办美的经验,我唯一的建议便是,老实。老实填写表格,老实回答问。只要你不是格外特殊,去美国的目的让面官生疑,一般都易通过。在飞机上时,空姐便发放了《美国海关申报单》。以往,对于其他国家的申报单我一律填写NO,但这次,申报单上关于是否携带了肉类一项,让我有点犹豫。因为小美丽在旧金山,受朋友所托,带给她两袋香肠。行前小美丽告诉我说,只要香肠是真空包装就没问。但看到申报单上这一项,我还是踌躇了半晌,要不要老实申报呢?与蟋蟀头商量了一下,我还是决定申报。后来,我非常庆幸自己这一决定。出海关时,递上护照和申报单,移民局官员问我,“你申报的肉类是什么?”“sausage。”我看着这个长着一张华裔面孔的移民局官员,竟想脱口而出“香肠。” “香肠?好吧,后面海关检查行李时,香肠有可能会被没收,也可能不被没收,但你填写了申报单,至少不会被罚款。” 他说道。再接着问了一下向日葵色板官方的旅行目的地、天数,以及向日葵色板官方在国内都是做什么工作,就让向日葵色板官方分别按指纹,盖章通过了。取行李后,向日葵色板官方推着行李车跟随人流往前走,却不料被不远处的两位海关人员叫住,招手要向日葵色板官方过去检查行李。为什么是向日葵色板官方?看看向日葵色板官方前后也没有其他人被叫过去,心里诧异。检查就检查,反正我们的行李中也没什么违禁物品。我倒是心安理得,早已忘了箱中的两袋香肠。直到海关人员开箱检查,拎出两袋香肠,告诉我说,“这个,没收,罚款300美元。”话音毕,2袋香肠便被扔进了旁边的垃圾桶。300美元?我的头一下大了。想起之前移民官的话,赶紧从包里掏出申报单递过去说道:“我有申报!”海关人员把申报单看了看,问道:“你申报的就是这个香肠?”我赶紧点头。“好吧,不用罚款了,但是下次再也不要带香肠了。” 听她这样一说,我才大吁一口气。而旁边被检查行李的同胞中,月饼也被扔进了垃圾桶。后来与小美丽讨论此事,她说我不应该填写申报表,就是因为填写了申报表,海关才会查验我的行李。可是申报表在我的包里,海关人员检查我的行李前,并不知道我有申报。“你难道取完行李没有上交申报单?不是有人站在那里收申报单吗?”小美丽问。小美丽接着说,取完行李后,应该有人在那里收申报单,填了申报单的走一列,会一个个被检查行李;没填申报单的走另一列,不会被检查行李。但实际上,我们真没看见有人在收申报单,向日葵色板官方也只是跟随人流往前走而已。下一次,我可能就不填申报单了。但这一次,我很庆幸,填写了申报单。后来的美国之行,愈发让向日葵色板官方感受到,美国人对规则的遵守。所以,在美国旅行,还是老实遵守他们的规定比较好。 租车——首度体验美国人的耐心推着行李走出机场。在我想像中,以为租车柜台就在到达大厅里一字排开,没想到,所谓的到达大厅并不大,也没有看到想像中的租车柜台,但示还算清楚,便随着“Car Rental”的示一路走过去,拐了几道弯,进电梯,上楼,出电梯后竟来到一个类似于地铁站台的地方,左右两边分别是蓝线Blue Line和红线Red Line的train。我有点懵了,依稀记得取车单上似乎有提过红线和蓝线,于是,赶紧翻出取车单,这段用红色明的重要文字,我居然这时才仔细阅读:MEETING POINT Car Rental Facility can be accessed by Air Trans train. The RED line train runs between Terminals. The BLUE line train goes from the terminals to the Consolidated Car Rental Facility. Airport signs will direct you to the Train boarding areas.读完后方知,原来红线车是在不同的候机楼之间运行,而蓝线车则是从候机楼到租车区。所以,我们应该坐蓝线车,而终点站就是租车区。很快,蓝线车来了,人流一涌而入,很快就把车厢塞满了。坐蓝线的人,应该都是去租车区取车的吧。我只是想,为何从没人在攻略里提及旧金山机场取车要坐蓝线车呢?旧金山机场的示非常清楚,顺着示走,绝不会迷路。当然,向日葵色板官方顺着这股人流走,也不会迷路。进电梯,下楼,出电梯,终于来到我想像中租车柜台一字排开的租车区,但,租车区比我想像中大很多,完全不是国内机场租车区可比,而且每个租车公司都占了一大片区域,且每个租车公司的柜台前都排满了人。找到向日葵色板官方的租车公司FOX后,买杯咖啡,排队取车。因为小美丽在微信中告诉我,“你们就慢慢排队吧,一般至少排队一小时才能取到车”。排队一小时?看着前面排队的几十个人,再看看五六个柜台前同时办公的工作人员,我很怀疑真的要一小时。但实际结果是,真的排了一个多小时才轮到我们。只不过,这一小时的排队时间里,所有人都安安静静,不急不躁。在后面的27天里,我们陆陆续续在许多细节方面感受到美国人的耐心。比如,开车在路上时,他们不会急于超车,更不会随便插队,你如果开得慢,他就在后面慢慢跟着,不急不缓;比如,我在拍照,挡了他们的路,他们就在后面耐心等着,等我拍完再走,不急不催。后来,我和蟋蟀头讨论,美国人这种耐心,与其说是耐心,但其实是素质。租车柜台前接待向日葵色板官方的又是一位华裔面孔的工作人员,只不过,他一句中文也不会,美语顺溜得如果不看他的脸,肯定会把他当成纯粹的美国人。递过去蟋蟀头的护照和驾驶证,以及取车单,工作人员就开始为向日葵色板官方办理取车手续。至于向日葵色板官方出发前蟋蟀头特地去办理的驾驶证公证件,从头到尾没有用过。其实如果你是在加州租车,是不需要出示驾驶证公证件的,因为加州交规中有明确,认可中国驾照。美国有50个州,每个州都有不同法规,所以租车前要搞清楚这个州是否接受中国驾照。基本上,美国西部的州都认可中国驾照,而东部的州不大认可,需要办理驾驶证公证件。当然,驾照公证件的有效期与驾照一致,所以打算今后还想在国外自驾的,花200元办个公证件也无不可。所以,蟋蟀头说他要去办驾照公证件时,我也不拦他,但没想到的是,办这个驾驶证公证件时,蟋蟀头居然被国内公证处的办证人员给坑了200元。工作人员问他,要几个翻译件?蟋蟀头说,按规矩来吧,应该办几个就几个。然后,办证人员就给他办了2个,一共花了400元。问在于,这两个证件一模一样,没有任何区别,哪有必要弄两个完全一样的翻译件呢?唉,说到国内这些公务人员,除了叹气,可能就是骂人了。租车很顺利,原本预定的车型是Jeep的自由光,工作人员帮向日葵色板官方做了免费升级,升级为Jeep一款更好的SUV,至于是哪个型号,我忘了。当时工作人员说可以帮我升级车型时,我只关注一点,同样价格?在得到他的明确答复后,我就眉开眼笑了。当时有两种车型任向日葵色板官方选择,我是车盲,蟋蟀头对那两款车型也不熟悉,便请工作人员帮忙,他指着一款车型说,“这个更好,很多人都选它。”我俩同意了他的建议。他虽然长着一张华裔的脸孔,向日葵色板官方却相信他,不会像国内那些坑人的官僚。租车推荐网站:https//www.economycarrentals.com/这是一个租车平台,非常好用,重要的是,价格比许多网站便宜。租车订单提交,收到确认单后,才会知道是哪家租车公司提供租车向日葵视频色板APP官网。预定时需支付预付款,提车前可以免费取消,所以预定车辆后,如果后面看到租金有降,可以取消订单,重新下单,整个过程方便快捷,且不会有任何多余费用。所以,我原本租的JEEP是Alomo公司提供,两个月后,发现同样车型,租金却便宜了1000多人民币,所以赶紧取消订单,重新下单,然后发现提车的这家公司变成了FOX。就名气而言,Alomo比Fox要知名很多,Fox只是一家小公司,但向日葵色板官方体验下来,无论向日葵视频色板APP官网,还是车的质量,都感觉不错。向日葵色板官方的租车费用,9月20日-10月16日,27天,5257元人民币。关于油,选的是满油还车return with full 。 飞过大洋来看你办完租车手续后,上楼提车。不一会儿功夫,向日葵色板官方便驾着一辆八成新的JEEP驶出租车区,正式开始我们的美国自驾行。向日葵色板官方在国内已预先在某宝买了TomTom的导航仪以及美国AT&T的手机卡,选的流量套餐是:高速流量4GB(4G/3G网速)+无限流量(2G网速)。美国虽比中国发达,但手机网络的覆盖率和速度则不敢恭维。AT&T是美国网络覆盖率最广信号最好的运营商,但即使是AT&T,在很多区域仍然没有信号,比如一号公路的部分路段、大峡谷国家公园、Page。。。后来在美西路上驾驶时,时不时没有网络信号,向日葵色板官方也渐渐习以为常。所以,想在美国自驾,只依赖手机Google地图是不行的,必须配备一个GPS,没有网络时依然可以导航。所以,我买的这个手机卡,即使向日葵色板官方在美国呆了整整27天,同时开热点给蟋蟀头使用,但因为美西的部分地区无信号,所以回国时,手机卡仍有很多流量。刚上车的心情,愉悦中带着兴奋,但开出取车区没多久,匝道太多,不熟悉,来不及换道,蟋蟀头便开错道了,绕了好大一圈,才终于驶上正道。出道不顺,却丝毫没影响向日葵色板官方心情。“刚开始嘛,等我熟悉一下就好,” 蟋蟀头的心态永远比我要好,不像我,容易着急。我预先订好的酒店位于旧金山市中心的联合广场附近,距离旧金山机场车程20分钟左右。一路高速公路,倒是方便快捷,只是进入市区后,道路开始复杂起来,特别是酒店附近,单行道很多,车道开错,又得重来,所以,向日葵色板官方竟在酒店外绕了两三圈,才终于在酒店对面的停车场停好车。旧金山市区的车道虽然复杂,却极为有趣,特别是向日葵色板官方酒店所处区域,坡度很大,道路极陡,不便驾驶,却很刺激。酒店不大,小巧干净,胜在位置极佳。前台为向日葵色板官方办理check in手续的年轻男子又长着一张华裔面孔,这有点让我感叹,旧金山的华人还真是多啊,向日葵色板官方初抵美国不久,从入境、租车到酒店check in,工作人员竟都是华裔,不过,这个华裔会说中文,而且说得还较好,应该在美国的时间不长。酒店房间稍旧,但还算干净,只不过床头柜上的电话居然如此复古,让向日葵色板官方有点意想不到。即使在中国,也很少见到这样的电话了。 行李放好后,稍微梳洗,我们便准备出门了,去圣荷西Soe Jose会小美丽。初抵美国的几小时 ,见到太多华裔,真有点怀疑这是美国吗?直到出门时,抬头,看见高高的楼上飘扬着的星条旗,嗯 ,向日葵色板官方的确已经在美国了。 去圣荷西的车程1小时,我有点后悔,应该把这第一晚的酒店订在圣荷西,而非旧金山。开车出发时已是下午5点过,路途中,小美丽打来电话,“向日葵色板官方还是去圣荷西的REI碰头吧,今天是周日,REI晚上7点就要关门,如果你们来我家,向日葵色板官方再去REI,会来不及了。”REI是美国,甚至是全球最大的户外用品店,玩户外的人,到了美国,怎能不去逛REI?甚至于,REI对向日葵色板官方的吸引力比outlets还要大。可以不去逛Outlets,但绝不能不去逛REI。REI在美国有上百家门店,圣荷西这家门店规模不算大,远不及旧金山市区的那家REI。但当时留给向日葵色板官方shopping的时间仅半小时,即使门店不算大,但对于这半小时来说也太大了。店里的户外用品琳琅满目,让向日葵色板官方目不睱接,所幸旅程结束时还有机会去旧金山的REI购物,否则,只留半小时给REI,会让向日葵色板官方悔青了肠子。小美丽说,向日葵色板官方是有多爱户外啊,在美国的第一张合影,居然就是在户外店。 离开REI,小美丽和男友Amir带我俩去吃饭。向日葵色板官方来到一个类似于酒吧的典型美式餐厅,餐厅内响着热闹的音乐,四面墙上挂满电视,正播放着各类节目,以体育赛事为主。Amir说想请向日葵色板官方吃最正宗的美式美食,而汉堡和鸡翅就是美国年青人的最爱。意想不到的是,美国人竟爱吃辣,而辣鸡翅就是这家餐厅的主打。小美丽知道向日葵色板官方嗜辣,尤其蟋蟀头,无辣不成菜,所以特地点了最辣的鸡翅,连向日葵视频色板APP官网员也再三与她确认,“确定要点重辣吗?”一大篮辣鸡翅端上来,辣是足够辣,但辣得太直接,除了辣,还是少了许多滋味,不像四川的麻辣、湖南的香辣或者贵州的酸辣。就美食来说,美国当然无法与中国相比。原以为向日葵色板官方会难以忍受美国单调的饮食,但没想到,向日葵色板官方在美国的27天里,虽吃得简单,却津津有味,不觉厌烦。蟋蟀头爱上了牛排,而我则爱上了可乐。一般来说,去一个国家旅行,如果适应了当地的饮食,便没什么不能适应了。 Amir是小美丽读书时跑步认识的,对她一见钟情。与她一样,喜欢运动,热爱户外。彼时向日葵色板官方四人吃饭时他还是她的男朋友,待向日葵色板官方美西玩了一圈,回国后,他们已注册结婚,成为她的先生。可能小美丽自己也没想到,她的姻缘会发生在地球的另一半。但其实啊,这世间所有的情缘,其实都是恰逢其时,早有安排。 D2(9月21日)旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔第一次自助加油,101刀?按计划,今天会沿一号公路,从旧金山开到圣西蒙。沿途会经过的小镇有:Pacifica——半月弯Half moon Bay——santa cruz —— 蒙特雷Monterey——17 Mile Drive——卡梅尔Carmel——大苏尔Big Sur——圣西蒙SanSimeon,其中红字的是一号公路上的精华点,需停车游玩。车程6小时,加上游玩拍照时间2-3小时,预计全程8-9小时,只要早上9点出发,这一天的行程应该是绰绰有余。绰绰有余,其实是我想得太美。计划就是计划,而变化永远会比计划要多。早上9点, 向日葵色板官方已经在酒店check out,准备上路了。这个时间出发,尚在可控中。蟋蟀头没有赖床不起,让我甚为满意。 酒店对面有一个公共停车场public parking,向日葵色板官方的车就停在那里。一晚的停车费.74,在酒店前台缴费。前一天停车时,告知工作人员向日葵色板官方住对面酒店,停车场便出具了一张单子,让向日葵色板官方在酒店缴费盖章,然后便可以停一天一夜。.74,好贵的停车费,但如果不是住对面酒店,估计停车费用更贵。照美国这种停车费准来看,中国的停车费还大有上涨空间。好在美国只是城市内要收停车费,国家公园是不收停车费的,否则向日葵色板官方这自驾27天,停车费都是好大一笔数字。此时停车场外已排成长队。我一边排队,一边心里嘀咕着,怎么取车也要排队?9点过的加州阳光,已经毒辣得人睁不开眼。我傻乎乎地排队十多分钟后,忽然想起,这停车场里好像有一个租车office,会不会有可能这些排队的人是为租车,而非停车场取车?我走到最前面一看,果然不出所料,停车场里有一个Alamo的租车办公室,难怪这里会排成长队。有点后悔刚才自己不闻不问,就开始傻傻地排队,但也庆幸,仅排队十多分钟而已,没有浪费一小时才发现原来站错队。耽误了半小时,上午930,我俩终于妥妥地坐在车里,把Pacifica设置为我们的第一个导航点,便出发,正式开始向日葵色板官方的美西自驾行。但这一天正值美国的工作日,旧金山市区内拥堵的车流,再次出乎我预料。google地图显示的只需25分钟即可抵达Pacifica,看来是不可能了。向日葵色板官方的车跟在有轨电车叮叮车的后面,缓慢地行驶着。慢摇慢晃的叮叮车,让向日葵色板官方生出极大兴趣,决定待回程时一定要坐一趟叮叮车。实际上,穿行于闹市区的叮叮车早已不仅仅是单纯的交通工具,而成为旧金山的一大风景,是来旧金山的游客必定会体验的项目之一。 堵车、单行道、对路不熟,这几项加起来,导致我俩开着车在市区内兜了好几转才终于开出旧金山,蟋蟀头开玩笑说,他现在已对旧金山的路非常熟悉了。在Pacific找加油站加油时,才发现时间已经过去了整整一个半小时。而这原本应该是计划中的20分钟车程!之前看攻略,发现大家都喜欢到加油站所属小超市里找店员,付现加油,主要是因为自助加油刷信用卡时,很多时候需要输入美国当地的5位数ZIP CODE,向日葵色板官方国内的信用卡,哪有什么美国邮编啊,所以无法自助加油。但第一次加油,我仍想体验下自助加油,万一可以刷卡呢?美国的汽油分为Regular、Plus、Premium三种,一般选Regular(87)即可。加油机上有操作说明,简单易懂。把信用卡插入后,快速拉出,然后按提示选择credit card,如果没有跳出提示让你输入ZIP CODE,便可进行下一步,取油枪,选择要加的油号(Regular 87),开始加油了。油箱加满后,油枪会自动跳掉,然后便会从信用卡里扣除相应油费。但向日葵色板官方的第一次自助加油,卡在了第一步。信用卡插入后,如果没有快速拉出,便不会进入到下一步。但当时我并不清楚这一点,不知问出在何处。于是,我便进店里请求帮助。一个大叔热情地随我出来,教我一步步操作完。最后,油加满,油费的收费单自动打印出来,上面显示加油费.62(单价$3.099/G)。当时,我并不知道我的信用卡被扣1,离开加油站一小时后,才发现招行发给我的微信显示,我的卡在加油站被扣了1。我吓了一跳,赶紧掏出收费条,再看一遍,但上面明明注明加油费8.62,我又怎么会被扣01呢?可当时已离开加油站一小时,返回去询问是不可能了,收费条上也没有加油站的电话,唯一的办法只有打给招行。招行向日葵视频色板APP官网很好,打通电话后,测出我是从国外打的电话,便自动转入人工服务,省去我一步步操作所需时间。向招行确认后,当时的确从我的卡里刷走101美元,而非101元人民币。“加油怎么可能要101美元?”我大惑不解,更被这莫名其妙刷掉的101美元感到心痛。招行客服安慰我说,他们会跟踪这笔交易,三天后给我回复。当然,最后被刷走的实际金额仍然是.62,而非1。这$101应该只是预授权而已。后来自助加油时也曾发生,明明加油.16,而当时却只被刷走。我自然也没有捡到这个便宜,该付多少钱最后仍会付多少钱。美国发达的信用卡机制,应该不会让人随便有机可乘,但这不经我许可,便随易乱扣的预授权,还是让人有点害怕。 半月弯——差点错过的风景加州一号公路的大名,你即使没去过,也不会没有听说过。蜿蜒于美国西海岸,从北向南将旧金山与洛杉矶相连在一起的一号公路,是所有人从旧金山自驾到洛杉矶的不二之选。所不同的只在于,你会在这条路线上花多少时间,两天,三天还是一周?甚至于,你愿意在路途中的某个小镇住上一个月,也不是不可能。一号公路太美,而路上那些小镇又如此梦幻,以至于在走完这条路线后,让我知道,我只留了两天时间给一号公路,是多么愚蠢的一个决定。但我的选择不仅是我的无奈,也是大多到美西自驾游的人的无奈,无奈的原因无非就是——时间。虽然一号公路的大部分路段都是沿海公路,开错路的可能性极小,但为了不错过每个景点,所以向日葵色板官方的GPS是一个点一个点地进行设置。离开Pacifica时,我无意中忘记了半月弯Half moon Bay,而把导航的下一个点设置到鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light 。当蓝色的太平洋进入视线后,自驾便多了一分浪漫与惬意。见路边停着几辆车,我俩便也停车下来,想看看他们停车的风景。走出车门,一阵海风迎面而来,带着阳光的气息。远处,蔚蓝的海水,冲刷出一段月牙般的海湾,拿出手机google地图一看,向日葵色板官方此时果然是在半月弯。不该你错过的风景,怎么也不会错过。 鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light——意义大于景致距离半月弯仅半小时车程的鸽点灯塔,是加州州立历史地,始建于1870年,至今已有145年,仍在被美国海岸警备队使用,是美国西海岸线上现役灯塔中最高的一个。树立在灯塔前的一个木牌上有鸽点灯塔的介绍,对它的评价极高,称它为加州的精神象征。我不懂为何灯塔被抬到精神象征的高度,难道是因为它在这一个半世纪里,指引了无数从加州海岸南面航行的船只,安全进入旧金山湾? 如果你仔细观察灯塔,会发现它的顶端光秃秃的,那个巨大的灯塔透镜呢?灯塔顶部的的菲涅尔透镜由1008块玻璃组成,是当时世界上最大的灯塔透镜,据说发出的光线能让40多公里外的船只看见。之前每年的11月,这里都会举行一次盛大的活动,用100多年前的方法来点灯,利用煤油灯和透镜所折射出来的光芒,相当于点亮了50万支蜡烛,从而吸引了无数摄影师前来拜访。当然,今年的11月是不会有这个活动了。因为那个有名的灯塔透镜,现在正乖乖地躺在灯塔附近的小屋里。虽然灯塔在无数次风暴以及1906和1989年的地震中幸存,但灯塔透镜仍在岁月的磨砺中受到损坏,需要修缮。目前正由加州州立公园基金会,一个独立的非盈利组织筹集修复灯塔所需资金,一旦资金筹措到位,便会启动修复计划。灯塔透镜不再高高在上,却给了向日葵色板官方一个近距离观察它的好机会。 我没有灯塔情结,所以这个高高矗立的白色灯塔,对我没有太多吸引力。对我来说,它不过是一号公路上的一个景点,顺路拜访而已。相较而言,这海上的风景更为养眼。白色的浪花重重拍打着礁石,却能抚平心里泛起的层层涟漪,直到内心如海水一般纯粹。 鲜花盛开蒙特雷在一号公路的所有景点中,从景致而言,鸽点灯塔是微不足道的,再加上仅一个灯塔而已,所以我预计呆上20分钟,拍张纪念照就可以离开了。但,向日葵色板官方却在鸽点灯塔停留了整整2个小时,因为蟋蟀头喜欢灯塔,不仅从各个角度拍灯塔,仔细观察灯塔透镜,甚至连灯塔旁边的纪念品小屋也要慢慢逛一逛,花32.7刀买下一个灯塔纪念品。看看时间已到下午230,向日葵色板官方却还逗留于鸽点灯塔,几乎可以说是一号公路的启始点,我快疯了。蟋蟀头不做攻略,攻略由我一人包办,所以虽然他在开车,却几乎不清楚向日葵色板官方每天的行程,我只是在每天出发前给他大概讲一下向日葵色板官方当天的车程,以及会去的地方。我反复对他强调,和后面的风景相比,这里什么也不算,而后面的景点还有一长串。就这样不断催促,向日葵色板官方竟然也停留了2个小时。从鸽点灯塔到蒙特雷,车程1小时20分钟。为节省时间,向日葵色板官方在路上的超市买了点零食,在车上解决了午餐。后来的20多天,在车上解决午餐甚至晚餐,早已成为常态。下午4点到达蒙特雷。之前看攻略,提到蒙特雷,一般都是讲它的渔人码头,以至于我心目中的蒙特雷,就是一个喧哗的海边小城。但第一眼的蒙特雷,却着实把向日葵色板官方惊艳了。鲜花盛开,安静雅致。 街上几乎无人,此时的蒙特雷,静谧得如同一座空城。我知道蟋蟀头已经开始后悔,之前在鸽点灯塔浪费了太多时间;而我也开始后悔,为什么不在蒙特雷住上一晚?当然,后面的小镇,各有特色,而每个小镇都令向日葵色板官方有想住下来的冲动。 蒙特雷的气息令人着迷,适合陶醉,也适合沉迷。假装扮下文艺,也无不可。 去蒙特雷游玩的人,大多都直奔渔人码头(Fisherman's Wharf)。有人曾在攻略里大力推荐,认为蒙特雷的渔人码头比旧金山的渔人码头更值得一去,因为这里海狮更多。所以离开鸽点灯塔时,向日葵色板官方把GPS直接定位到蒙特雷的渔人码头。在渔人码头附近看到一个停车点,正打算停车,工作人员却告诉向日葵色板官方说,现在这里暂时不能停车,要换另一个地点停车,并给了向日葵色板官方一张纸,上面有停车点的具体地址以及详细的路线指引。但用google地图搜索后发现,工作人员介绍的这个停车点距离渔人码头很远,走过去可要花一点时间。蟋蟀头说,我们自己另找停车位吧。便思忖着去找一个路边的停车位。在美国停车,主要有两种,一种是公共停车场public parking,另一种是路边停车street parking。路边停车有停车线,而且停车位旁通常有咪表,需先缴费买停车时间。但向日葵色板官方居然在蒙特雷的一条小街上找到一个没有咪表的停车位。看看前后,路边上都停满车,而且的确没有咪表,当然也没有像国内那样的收费员。后来在美西自驾20多天,停过各式各样的地方,在旧金山、洛杉矶停车时支付过高昂的停车费,也在国家公园和所有的小镇几乎没支付过停车费,这才发现美国的停车费制度其实非常合理。那就是收费并非一刀切,而且收费是为控制,并非只为赚钱。人少车少的地方,不收停车费;人多车多的地方,收高昂的停车费。但即使是旧金山,到了晚上,路边停车也几乎不收费,因为这时候车少啊,没有必要收费。 传说中“游客云集”的渔人码头,人并不多。难道,现在是蒙特雷的淡季?但其实,渔人码头的栈道两边都是餐厅、咖啡馆和酒吧,当时已是下午4点过,既过了午餐时间,也不到晚餐时间,游客们可能在潜水,也可能在观鲸船上,码头上人不多倒也正常。 太平洋的海水,真让人怀疑是神不小心泼洒下的蓝墨水,蓝得如此纯净。但如果蒙特雷是一个人迹罕至的孤岛倒也罢了,明明这里游人趋之若鹜,海水却依然如此干净清透,没有国内景点常见的垃圾与海水中脏污的浮沫,是令向日葵色板官方诧异的。 海狮呢,海狮呢?我心心念念只想搜寻海狮。明明在别人的照片里看见,蒙特雷渔人码头的海岸边趴着一群群的海狮,为何我却只见海鸟,不见海狮。为此我还特地去问了一个看上去是久住此地的大叔,问他哪儿可以看见海狮?他说,没有海狮了。再问为什么?他的回答倒很简单,“no food, no sea lion。”海狮其实是一种迁徙性动物,会因食物或交配而进行迁徙,并不会永居某地。旧金山渔人码头的39号码头,在1989年旧金山大地震后,迁徙来了上千头海狮,并繁衍得越来越多,却也曾因为海狮要到南方海域交配,而突然之间消失得无影无踪。所以,如果你没在旧金山和蒙特雷的渔人码头看到海狮,其实也不奇怪。 没有看到海狮,但面向大海,弹支曲子,也很不错哦。虽是“假装”弹琴,但蒙特雷明亮的蓝天,纯粹的大海,此情此景,都令人心生留恋。 在蟋蟀头的镜头中,蒙特雷既可以简约清丽,也可以用多重爆光玩点技术。而重点是,我俩都爱蒙特雷。([]
历山为于山西省南部,地理坐为东经111°51′10″—112°5′35″,北纬35°16′30″—35°27′20″,总面积100平方公里,极顶舜王坪位于山西沁水、垣曲、翼城、阳城四县交界处,海拔2358米,是华北南部最高峰。 历山奇峰壁立、沟谷纵横,中心区域地形复杂、人迹罕至,因此保持了完好的原始面貌,被国务院于1982年确定为国家级自然保护区。历山核心区面积7541.5公顷,这里有华北面积最大、保存最完整的原始森林,各种植物多达1400多种,各种乔木、灌木达560余种,其中有8种属国家二、三类保护植物。此外还有菌种类植物资源如猴头、灵芝、银耳、冬虫夏草等。另有药材资源麝香、菖蒲、黄岑、党参、人参、何首乌、当归、苍术、五味子、连壳、籽黄等220种,年供全国各地百万斤以上。良好的植被为各种野生动物提供了良好的栖息地,这里有野生动物330余种,占山西境内动物种类的80%以上。其中有有金钱豹、黑鹳、金雕等国家一级保护动物9种。二级保护动物29种。历山还有悠久的历史及丰富的人文景观,舜王坪因舜耕于历而得名。《史记》记载:“舜生于蒲阪(今永济市),渔于获泽(今阳城县),耕于历山。”坪顶有总面积4000亩的高山草原,山巅有舜王庙、南天门、斩龙台等胜景。历山的另一高峰皇姑曼则传说是舜王的妻子蛾皇生活过的地方。然而,最吸引我的是历山神秘的72混沟。户外界有“墨脱归来不言路,混沟归来不言沟”之说,可见混沟名气之响。混沟是指以皇姑曼为中心呈扇形分布的72条沟谷,1936年阎锡山的部队为修铁路而伐木进入混沟,结果断送几十人性命,更有甚者说是进去一个团,只出来一个连;2002年中央电视台【早安中国】栏目和太原龙网组织了历山探险活动,全国征集户外志愿者1000多人,最后选拔出10人。在有强大后援、直升机配备的情况下,以一人中途死亡而兵败历山!打开网络,敲出混沟两字,随便一搜就会搜出一堆各种各样的传说、消息...... 一、好事多磨上路难 5年?还是6年?说不清始自几年前,我就开始关注历山,默默的为穿越历山做着前期准备,梦想着有一天能走进历山,走进混沟,然而那时有关历山的信息很少,更别说攻略了,直到06年后,河南驴友多支队伍先后去历山,历山的攻略才多了一些,然而种种原因我的历山行却迟迟没能进行。历山地处偏僻、交通不便,虽说距石家庄直线距离仅仅几百公里,但要去一次仅路上就要花差不多两整天时间,而穿越混沟一般需要3天时间,因此去一次历山至少要5天时间,再加上混沟地势复杂,只有天气晴好时才能进入,时间上还要留有一定余地,考虑到来往路费较高、路程占用时间较长的原因,本着少花钱多走路的原则,我在穿越混沟的基础上又增加了穿越东、西峡和舜王坪的计划,这样一来去一次历山就需要七天以上的时间,只有黄金周大假才有可能成行。考虑到春节不适于穿混沟,唯有天高气爽、雨雾概率小的十、一是去历山的最佳选择了。去年十、一我曾做出了穿越历山的计划。我的计划是由东川开始穿越,首先穿越东峡,再步行或乘车于后文堂,找向导毕俊杰带路上皇姑曼、穿混沟,出后河后再乘车回西哄哄(或后文堂),再穿西峡上舜王坪,最终从下川踏上返程。如果有时间的话,返程还可以去沁河古村落一游。计划是不错(至少自我感觉不错),但最后时刻却因报名人员少于最低4人的出行要求而中止计划。今天十、一,我再次发出了历山行的召集贴。历山穿越示意(根据记忆绘制,可能有误) 10.1很快就要到了。27日晚最后确定人员,有的本来有意参加的驴友因这事那事去不成,还好有5人确定出行,看来今年历山之行黄不了啦。28日6点就去买票,不料30日不论是到晋城的2163还是到济源方向的K589或K183票都已出完,想换成太原方向的车也没有合适的车次,无奈,快8点时又跑了一趟火车站,想实在不行只能买1日的票了。意外的是这时2163倒有了30日的票。出了火车票,不料下午老马又打电话说单位30日下午有重要的事,2163可是中午1点多的车,他下午有事企不是去不成了?老马又说此事没最后定,让等一下他的消息。“30日不行1日出发行不?如行我就与其它人勾通一下,改一下车票,推迟一天出发”。推迟一天意味着计划就要压缩行程,但没有办法,因为老马是两个人,他若去不成我们就只剩3个人了,那就少于最少4个人的出行要求。29日上午去改车票,工作人员告知1日的车票已全部售完,无法改(原来火车票字是要占用正常的车票额度的)。电话联系老马商量怎么办,老马开口的第一句话就是“一个坏消息,我肯定去不成了,推迟到1日出发也去不成了,因为夫人身体欠佳”。头痛,真让人头痛,难道又要重蹈去年取消活动的复辙?可票已出,取消出行的话仅退票就要损失好几十元钱的,更重要的是会让铁心走混沟的老于、efun寒心。关健时候幸亏老朋友老席冲破千难万阻顶了上来,这才保证了最低的出行人数,不过老席很不厚道的要敲我的竹杠,“你得请我,我要是不去你们又去不成了”。“啊呸!想的美”。30日是国庆前的最后一天,是向日葵色板官方国庆出行的第一天。中午1点,我和老于、efun、老席会齐于火车站,滚滚人潮中向日葵色板官方终于上路了。此行的4个队员:前排左efun、右为笔者,后排左老于、右为老席列车习惯性的晚点(对此向日葵色板官方已习以为常),走出晋城车站时已是晚上9点35分,车晚了一个多小时。一般人去历山都选择走垣曲或沁水,我却特立独行的选择了走阳城,因为从地图上看,我们穿越的起点东川村虽说属于沁水,但离阳城更近一点。由晋城坐班车到阳城换班车到口河,再由口河包小面或三轮车翻一道小梁就是东川。这样走比从晋城坐班车到沁水然后包车到东川费用要低一些。不过最终这个计划没能完全实现,这是后话。夜色中的晋城火车站找个小旅馆住一晚,第二天一早乘6点10分的班车,7点25分抵达阳城。打听去口河的车,一位工作人员操着很浓重的地方口音对我说:“去口河?坐8点去李圪瘩的车,那车现在还没来,你去问下那边停的那辆黄壳车,问他李圪瘩的车还来不来”。“黄壳车”?我转了一圈儿也没看到什么黄色的车。再问那个工作人员,那人很热情的把我领到了一辆开往横河的车前,“这不就是黄壳的车么”。我这才明白他说的“黄壳”是“横河”,原来当地口音横、黄不分。李圪瘩的车没来,向日葵色板官方只能坐这辆去横河的车,到索泉岭再包车,从地图上看索泉岭到口河大约10多公里。班车驶在阳城的街道上 班车司机为向日葵色板官方联系了一辆小面。索泉岭(李圪瘩与横河公路的忿路处)下车,小面已等在路旁,司机开口就要150。好家伙,虽说没走过这段路,但我知道索泉岭到东川不过20来公里,撑破天也到不了30公里,哪值150?讨价还价,一番语言大战,僵持了20多分钟后那个司机同意100元把向日葵色板官方送到东川。向日葵色板官方坐上了车,他又说他没去过东川,要去“问问路”。这一问问又来了,他叫来的一个老乡对向日葵色板官方说“去东川的路断了,三轮车都过不去,更别说汽车了”。小面司机说:“东川是去不了了,这么着吧,减20,80,我把你们送到裴圪台”。在我印象里从口河拐进去没多远就是裴圪台,离东川远着呢,但为了赶时间,我实在不想再争来争去,又认为断路的地方不会是裴圪台村边,应该更靠里,所以同意了司机的条件,但要求他尽量往前送一送,送到车确实不能再走为止。车上路了,一路上上下下,大约10多公里时过了一个明显的岔路,是水泥的岔路,心中怀疑那就是去裴圪台的路,但又觉的司机是当地人,即使没去过东川也不可能不知道去裴圪台的路吧,怀疑就没有说出来。再行不远是一个不小的村子,名柴圪瘩。听到柴圪瘩三个字,我意识到路肯定是走错了,下车一问,果然错已过了去裴圪台的路口。小面在柴圪瘩村准备掉头 柴圪瘩村的一户民居车掉过头来,向刚才看到的岔路奔去。拐进岔沟不过两公里裴圪台已到,过裴圪台村不过一里水泥路已到尽头,司机说前边的路不能跑了。看看前边的路确实不强,向日葵色板官方只好下车。整包上路,边走边议论:此地距向日葵色板官方下班车的索泉岭不到15公里,这么近的地方作为当地人不可能不知道这条岔路。老席说这点路最多值50元,司机所做的一切(问路、跑错路等)都是在表演节目,向日葵色板官方被小小的涮了一把。唉,人在江湖飘,哪能不挨刀。水泥路的尽头众人在做出发前的准备 二、牛刀小试东峡路10点55分,向日葵色板官方沿着一条有无数车辙的三轮车路上路了。按我事先的计划,向日葵色板官方本来要在今天10点前后到达东川,再用大约4小时的时间穿越东峡,然后在天黑前赶到后文堂过夜并联系带向日葵色板官方穿混沟的向导。可现在快11点了,向日葵色板官方才刚离开裴圪台,这儿离东川还有约15里翻山路,按经验,15里山路至少要2小时时间,那今天向日葵色板官方还能按计划在天黑前赶到后文堂吗?现在看,悬。行走在通往东川的大路上 一路走在前边的efun 一路上行。这条路上有两个村子:前松甲、后松甲,前松甲人还多点,后松甲却仅剩两户人家,几乎被废弃,至于建于两村之间的松甲小学更是只有一间教室,并早已成了一座空房。过后松甲路拐进另一条沟里,脚下的路开始盘山而饶,路况越来越差,坡也越来越大,不过始终是贯通的,这点从路面上众多的新车辙可以看出来。完全不象“路断了,三轮车都过不去”的样子。被废弃的只有一间教室的松甲小学几被废弃的后松甲 拐过几个弯后是一山口,一辆三轮车正从对面开下来,看到眼前的路,看着缓缓下行的三轮车向日葵色板官方才明白这路小面确实是上不来,不过你明说路太差,车没法跑,只能送向日葵色板官方到裴圪台不就完了,干吗非要叫个老乡来演双簧,借它人之嘴说什么路断了呢?efun还是走在前边,老于和老席则在不远的后边边走边聊,好象有说不完的私房话。脚下是大大小小的乱石,我只顾埋头走路,两无暇旁顾。正走着,忽听后边的老席象发现新大陆似的喊着什么。走回去才发现路旁的崖壁下有两座坟茔。这种方式的墓葬还真不多见,若非其中一座坟茔外面垒砌的石墙坍塌,还真不知那是两座坟墓呢对面来了一辆三轮车后边的老席在看什么崖壁间的两座坟茔过山口路拐进另一条沟里,山坡上有古松,有房屋的废墟,左侧的沟中还有大片的梯田,显示过去曾有人在些居住、生活过。我感觉田间的小路能通到向日葵色板官方要去的垭口,然而又怕走错了路。算了,还是走大路吧,虽说饶远但保险。路边的一棵古松,其旁有房屋的废墟 接近垭口了,路旁的石是红的,脚下的土也是红的,efun捡到了一块煤渣,他怀疑红土下边有煤矿,老席则认为那煤是过往的车辆上掉下来的。应该是老席说的对吧。路的下边就是那片的梯田(后悔没有走小路,呵呵),已被废弃的梯田,梯田间也有废弃的石屋,看规模象是个住家。在这儿生活,水怎么解决?打井?走在红色的大道上 下边的梯田、房屋废墟 12点半,向日葵色板官方登上了垭口,这儿是阳城和沁水的界山,垭口处立有界碑,向日葵色板官方在此稍事休息,烟鬼老于坐在界碑上抽开了烟。这个老于,一屁股坐了两个县。下边的路是一路下行,路比想象的还好走,看样子用不了多长时间就能下到沟底,向日葵色板官方计划到了有水的地方吃午餐。过垭口不远有一平地,中间有一坟茔,坟前还戳着两个石塔,正在路旁休息的一老乡说那是当代一位县太爷的坟,这地方风水好啊。两县间的界碑 一屁股坐了两个县的老于 一位当代县太爷的坟茔 20分钟后向日葵色板官方已看到了沟底东川通东峡的公路,此时路的一边已有了水源,但大家都说进了东峡,找个山青水秀的地方再吃饭。弃大路走沟底,再行数分钟已上通东峡的水泥公路上。这么好的公路,莫非东峡已被开发?后边过来的一放牛的大嫂的话让我们放了心,“没有开发,只是修了一条路”。唉,不管多好的地方,开发就意味着被破坏,只要一开发就变味,这已成了规律,所以驴友最不喜欢的就是“被开发”。东峡路边的古塔路边的保护区责任牌,这样的牌子向日葵色板官方后来见过好几个走在“景区”公路上 公路走到头,两侧的山陡然收窄,东峡由此而始。东峡,北起沁水县下川乡东川村南,南至阳城县东哄哄村。全长10公里,其中核心地段长6.5公里,宽10至46米,是历山十四大景区之一。东峡谷深峡窄,两壁如削如切,谷中巨石累累、植被茂密,沟底溪水清澈、潭瀑相连,据说谷中有惊心石、黑龙潭、济公石等景观,还有三搂粗、号称全国最大杏树王的古树,更有抗日战争时期邓 小 平同志率部智勇走东峡,摆脱日寇围追堵截的故事。走进东峡东峡口的地貌现在向日葵色板官方脚下是石质河床,溪水从石上流过,将石切出一道深槽,形成潭瀑相连的景观,向日葵色板官方选择此处为向日葵色板官方午餐的地点,此时时间已是1点半了。兴奋让向日葵色板官方忘记了饥饿。各吃各的,谁也不肯替别人减负。人性啊,人性咋就这么差?咋都不肯助人为乐呢?雷锋同志在哪里?我的食品还是馕,只要不是冬季,我都是选择馕为中午的主食,这东西好啊,十天半月的坏不了,若是烙饼,夏季节令两天时间就会馊。向日葵色板官方开始午餐 一旁的小瀑从水潭对面拍午餐中的队友([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the locations of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evalsuate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
