记得还是去年,偶然从一个91深夜福利网报道上听说今年,太阳活动开始增强,其实就是太阳表面放射的离子流变多了。 除了磁暴,它本身并不会给地球带来太多影响,估计也就是哪哪的通讯信号被中断,或者突然停电。 然而对于一个摄影师来讲,这可是千载难逢的机会。 为什么呢? 那是因为地球大气层的磁极(也就是南极和北极)的氧离子和氮离子会被太阳风暴干扰而造成色彩斑斓的极光。 小编那个时候就已经有了拍极光的打算,经过断断续续的路线,景点,摄影研究后,北欧极光之旅的行程在今年年中出炉了。目的地大概有4个,主要是瑞典,挪威,冰岛与格陵兰岛,沿着北极极光带转,如果运气好就能拍到。如果运气不好,也能把这几个地方的名胜景区转一转,比如冰川,城市,火山,瀑布什么的。 全程耗时一个月,算是比较辛苦了。因为是自助游,所以时间安排比较灵活机动,但由于机票,交通,酒店提前都已经有了预定,所以也不会和计划的有太大出入。 再来就是会比较费体力,费精力: 车要自己开,没有旅行社的照顾,一切沟通交流基本靠自己,万一路上出点什么事也得硬抗着。 先不废话了,发一组图再说。(如无特别注明,以下图片均为小编原创,独发8264,请勿转载)2. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 瑞典 (基律纳+ 阿比斯库)初遇极光 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html3. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 挪威 (令人伤心的特鲁姆索) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1954266-1-1.html4. 北极极光摄影之旅 - 挪威 (阿尔塔 + 北角)北欧大陆的“最北端” https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1960333-1-1.html 5. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 格陵兰(努克的极光) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1973832-1-1.html既然是摄影旅行,相机是必不可少的,行李箱里的其他东西不说,在这先介绍下摄影装备吧:1. 相机: 佳能5D MARK III, PHASE ONE 645DF IQ140套机。2. 镜头: 佳能 24-70mm 二代,16-35mm 广角, 70-200mm 中长焦, 8-16mm 鱼眼。 施耐德 50mm 头,施耐德 AFD Tele-Xenar 180mm f/2.8 HFT PQ Lens。3. 配件: 三脚架, 快门线,相机防寒防雨套。重点!!! 每台相机至少2块电池, CF储存卡多多益善。下面的图片是第二期的预览图哟!! 有极光哟!大家要继续支持呀!初遇极光:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html介绍瑞典之前先说说证, 办 "申根证" , 不用我说也知道对吧?没错,不过去哪办可不是每个人都知道了, 如果你的目的地里包括“格陵兰岛” 那么请你务必去丹麦大使馆办理申根证并注明要去格陵兰。 “什么?? 旅行社和证代理都说去行程里第一个目的地办申根???” 那么无所谓啦,恭喜你格陵兰岛的计划报销了。再次说一次 : 想去格陵兰 ---到丹麦大使馆办申根!瑞典: "欧盟第三大国家,人均收入全球第八,全球第二民主的社会,人类发展指数全球第七,2013年被评为治理最好的国家 和 全球第二有名的国家!" 听起来是不是很屌!!?? 最可恶的是他们男的几乎全超过175cm, 女人随便站出来一个都能当模特!还出了像“瓦尔德内尔” 和 “伊布”这样有名的运动员。 啥?? 你没听说过,好吧,你和我其中一位肯定是OUT了。 (图片转自网络)我坐的是俄罗斯航空公司的航班,到斯德哥尔摩之前会在莫斯科转机,没什么特殊的就是便宜(相对国航和SAS北欧航空)。 不是我在这排挤国航的飞机,那前后座位之间的距离是个180cm以上的人就会卡膝盖,你少放两排座椅会死啊?让大家坐着舒服点嘛! 连菲律宾航空公司都比国航舒服。等飞机之前先休息一下吧,因为是晚上的航班,上飞机后估计直接就睡了。俄罗斯妹子的样子那是没得说的,这空姐有点像莎拉波娃! 但是留的是乌克兰前女总理的发型! (抱歉没来得及偷拍) 看上去非常可爱。不过想想,跟我八竿子也打不上关系,还是赶紧睡吧。莫斯科的机场,算是我走过的第2奇葩的机场了,法国戴高乐排第一,步行从D航站楼到F, 大概花了15分钟,我是来溜大街的是嘛!?? 想起来就一肚子气,估计可能D航站楼全都是去亚洲的航班,而F是去欧洲的。 不平等待遇你知道是什么吗?不是F比D好, 也不是工作人员看人的态度,而是为毛整个机场除了商务舱休息室有WIFI以外, 另一个有免费WIFI的场所竟然是吸烟室!!!??下面那个坐着的短发MM是我喜欢的类型~~莫斯科机场 - 瑞典斯德哥尔摩 ARLANDA国际机场到了斯德哥尔摩以后简单在机场询问了下去城里的交通,为了明天做打算,今晚就住在机场附近了。去城里差不多25公里,可以做机场快线 "Arlanda Express" , 机场大巴 "Flygbussarna" 或者 TAXI, 基本第3个选择可以排除了。Arlanda Express 单程 200多瑞典克朗,周四到周日优惠。Flygbussarna 单程 99克朗 (就选它了)。TAXI 450+ 克朗机场大巴每10分钟一班,上车点就在机场正门,3,4,5候机楼都有停靠站。问清楚以后我就开始找酒店穿梭巴士。 目的地:JUMBO HOSTEL图片为莫斯科机场JUMBO HOSTEL这个酒店是用一架波音747飞机改造的,2008年底开始营业,就坐落在机场旁边,做穿梭巴士3分钟就到了。 一共有27个房间,多数不带厕所和浴室,差不多也就是5-6平米,小的可怜,但是很遗憾房价并不便宜。共有5间公共卫浴室,一间咖啡厅。因为与其他队员不同,小编提前一晚到了斯德哥尔摩。拖着几件行礼,总得找个地方住啊!不然转天的城市游就没精神了。 之前就通过网络查看了阿兰达机场附近的酒店信息,就这间还便宜点。坐着机场酒店穿梭巴士,也就是5分钟左右就到了。“我靠!还真是一架波音747啊!” 前台就在飞机的进出口,但是…尼玛貌似还得爬梯子上去吗?! 走到跟前发现原来有个电梯,我如释重负。 话说回来这电梯有点奇怪,要一直按住按钮,它才会下来,速度比蜗牛还慢! 没有小伙伴的我当时就惊呆了。更神奇的还在后面,进门以后就要脱鞋啦!郁闷了,哥这次没准备拖鞋啊! 前台成人深夜福利视频员还是很客气的,简单登记后就可以入住了,要了一间靠近马路的房间 (大家不要骂我笨,因为另一边靠近飞机跑道,更吵!!!) 走进房间本人直接呆住了,上下铺的床,没有放行李的架子,没有桌子,没有椅子,只有一个窟窿大的飞机窗户,一共不到6平米的地方,连做早操的空间都木有,这是让哥坐牢的节奏吗??打开20寸的小电视,所有频道全都是听不懂的北欧语,逼我去睡觉啊!浴室在飞机的尾部,有3间,唯一欣慰的就是水还是比较热的。这么逊的客房!你们说一晚得多少钱?凌晨差不多4点钟,我被冻醒了,就再也睡不着了,拿着三脚架和相机去开始为这次摄影之旅预热一下吧。虽然才刚10月份,可是凌晨的瑞典还是很冷的,看着东南方的朝霞慢慢显露出来,给这种寒冷的气氛带来了一丝暖色调。架好三脚架,尝试不同的快门速度,和光圈,出来的效果还是令人满意的。jumbo 对面的Radisson Blu Hotel机头被设计成为了一个咖啡厅就是吃饭的场所啦!厨房在机头下面,就是放托运行李的地方。可能在这10分钟内,唯一经过这条路的就是机场穿梭巴士了飞机的翅膀和机身旁边修了一个步行台,走一趟25克朗。 远处的亮灯处就是机场了。来个全身照!我对你的定义就是徒有其表!!!差不多拍了30分钟,我实在受不了了,评嘛别人都在被窝里,只有我自己在这挨冻?老子不干了! 回客房,继续补养颜觉。结果刚进飞机就发现咖啡厅的早餐已经准备好了,也就是烤面包片,煮鸡蛋,果酱啥的,随便吃点吧。吃的时候顺便跟前台的成人深夜福利视频员聊了聊,原来这里只有一个成人深夜福利视频员,前台,厨师,打扫房间,浴室的都是单人负责。几个人轮流负责不同的时段,看样子也是挺辛苦的。吃完早饭又回房间睡了个回头觉,希望今天的城市游会比较顺利。起来结完账就去提前预定好的酒店 RADDISON BLU迎接其他队员了,说得也巧,就在JUMBO的对面,貌似 RADISSON BLU 酒店和SAS北欧航空公司有着千丝万缕的关系,每座北欧大机场外绝对有一间。别怪哥没提醒你,北欧酒店的床是我出国以后见过最窄的,如果你不喜欢睡在只有一米宽的单人床的话,我建议你还是给自己订个DOUBLE BED ROOM吧。安顿下其他队员后,深夜在线福利视频开始了正式的北欧之旅,今天的目的地是斯德哥尔摩老城区 GAMLA STAN,市政厅,顺便拍拍街景。在Radisson Blue 外面就是机场酒店shuttle bus 14路的停靠站。Radisson Blu 大厅里的取暖炉,烧柴火的,还挺有意思。不过后来还去了ABISKO的酒店,自己换柴火烧炉子!!北欧人民非常喜欢阅读,在当今IPAD电子书盛行的时代,他们依然经常捧着厚厚的书本埋头阅读。就好比现在国内,虽然“麦,肯,必”随处可见,但大家依然保持着 煎饼果子,豆浆稀饭的优良传统。Flygbussarna 停靠在了中央火车站的旁边,步行到老城区需要大概20分钟。我们一行9人只有两位懂英语,初到北欧还是决定大家一起行动比较方便。 连接老城区中央地带与新市区的是一条步行街,外国游客很多,两旁开满了咖啡厅,餐厅和旅游商品店。 深夜在线福利视频漫步在这条街道慢慢感受着北欧不同的文化。这条街道叫Drottninggatan, 通往着圣灵岛。这条步行街上每隔几十米就会提供座椅给游客休息,让我感到了温暖。垃圾箱也是随处可见,在清洁的街道上漫步一点也不觉得累。午餐时间到了,当地人都喜欢坐在外面就餐,这也是饮食文化的一部分吧!?通往圣灵岛的桥,在圣灵岛上有 斯瑞典议会和中世纪博物馆。 图片中央的是 International IDEA (institute for Democracy and Electoral Assisstance) :民主选举学院, 不知道跟党校是不是一回事。斯德哥尔摩的建筑都是5-6层高的楼,很少有摩天大楼。 比较特殊的建筑还有 “爱立信大球” 被誉为全世界最大球型建筑。不过这次本人并没有拜访。是不是风景如画?从圣灵岛开始几乎都是中世纪建筑了,连大门都这么有气势!在连接圣灵岛与GAMLA STAN的桥 - stallbron上回头拍摄, 岸上是“瑞典议会 Sveriges Riksdag"GAMLA STAN The Old Town 就是老城的意思了,这个岛上的建筑可以追溯到13世纪,中世纪的街景,道路上铺满了鹅卵石,北日耳曼的古式建筑遍布在这里。([]

前提:这是2011年的游记,只是发布的比较晚而已~回答下大家的疑虑有时候会觉得,独自旅行并不是一件看起来那么风光的事。在机场等飞机的时候,在lignon hill呆坐着等火山的时候,孤独的夜晚在legaspi的政府宿舍里看电视的时候,咬着呼吸管睁大眼睛看着紫色珊瑚的时候,子夜拿着手电筒走山路回家的时候 ,星光下泛舟海面看萤火虫的时候,在饭店里苍蝇围绕哦中洗无穷无尽的盘子的时候,在MRT出站电梯上回头望着汹涌人潮的时候,经常会想到很多东西,关于旅行,承诺,生命,时间,以及所有的一切。我似乎是为了寻找其中存在的某种意义,想要变得更坚强,更隐忍,更闪亮,更勇敢,所以才迷恋一个人的旅行。但是回首时,发现旅行仅仅是旅行本身,意义之类的东西只是转瞬即逝的心灵悸动,我害怕忘记,渴望惊喜,所以,我背上包,第二次探索菲律宾,我钟爱的国度。 我希望你不是为图而来,而是用心和我一起体会这段旅行,文字有13000多,如果没有耐心,请不要看了。*沙发couchsurfing指的是“沙发客”,一种通过网络联系当地居民免费获得住宿的办法。D1:我回来了依然是红眼delay航班,依然是怨妇一样的心态,每次旅行的开端心境仿佛都不怎么好,没心情欣赏广州的夜色,翻出《挪威的森林》英文版开始看第十遍。不知不觉睡着了,醒来已经是在马尼拉,打的去了international youth hostel.这里就像是我的家一样,每个成人深夜福利视频生我都认识,每个微笑我都熟悉。在凌晨2点冲进门,说出“我回来了,亲爱的们。”的时候,仿佛时光倒流,一切美好的事情还会重演。D2:我的家 早上出门的第一个目的地显然是Intramuros,当跪在教堂的椅子上,仰望彩绘玻璃窗的时候,上帝告诉我,尽管过去了3个月的时光,尽管这世界上发生了千千万万的事,马尼拉还是那个马尼拉,Intramuros还是我的Intramuros,youth hostel还是我的家,内心安稳。每次回到马尼拉,最重要的事情非购物莫属,尤其Makati是我最爱,这次刚好赶上FOREVER 21打折,所有女孩像疯了一样在里面抢来抢去。全年都是夏天的国度,毛衣比夏装还便宜,每次都有一种乡下老鼠进城的感觉,眼睛都看不过来的五光十色。逛完大商场就是Baclaran market,因为青旅在附近,Baclaran market成为每天的必经之地。或许你在马尼拉,看过马尼拉湾的落日,去过各大shopping mall血拼,进过Intramuros的每一座古老建筑,但是这还不完全是真实的马尼拉。这座城市有摩天大楼,有古老建筑,更有Baclaran market 污水横流的逼仄街道,在泥水中嬉戏的儿童,推车卖饮品的小贩,鳞次栉比的服装小店,炸鸡的香味,钱币递出的响声,五花八门的Jeepny,街边鲜艳的各种切好的水果……这个世界真实的一面在彼处,也在此处。 晚上在青旅和大家聊天拍照,感叹facebook终于可以用了真是太难得了。D3:没有火山 青旅的隔音效果很差,晚上常有很吵很吵的摩托车经过,宿舍里住的基本都是菲律宾人,早上6点她们就会起床洗漱,睡得不沉,就会被吵醒。可是很奇迹地,我睡到10点才起。和一个日本哥哥一起拼车打的去机场。每次听到我说出自己的名字Sukey时,他就开心得手舞足蹈.....在机场等去legaspi的飞机的时间里,注意到一个女生,化着很得体漂亮的妆容,穿MUJI的衣服,看的书,文字是竖着写的。她就是我后来搭讪的山田蓝子,日菲混血,少见的英文超好没有口音的日本女孩,在legaspi的私立大学读书,在飞机delay的时间里,我们聊到donsol,聊到异国生活,被她表扬我的日语没有中国口音,非常开心。可惜飞机降落后就再也没有见到她。旅行中有无数的离别,我知道只有相逢的喜悦才能冲淡离别的伤感。这次来菲律宾之前匆匆忙忙在couchsurfing联系到了legaspi和coron的两个host,legaspi的host Pearl Marian 是位非常善良的大学老师,竟然来机场接我,带我去cagsawa church ,可惜天气阴沉,不能看到火山全貌。一路上她对我讲述2009年那一场台风,夺去了许许多多的生命。马荣火山就在那里,有时像守护神一样,惠泽方圆百里的田野,有时又称为猛兽,伤害山脚下的人。pearl带我去pacific mall里吃了晚饭,又叫她的医生朋友Jay帮我联系,让我住在政府宿舍里,RMB28一晚还是有空调有电视的单人房,电视可以收到好多中文频道,异国他乡能听到中文是非常开心的事。晚上下起大雨,pearl介绍我去宿舍附近的Bicol Blends Cafe 吃东西,第一次吃到云呢拿辣味雪糕,非常刺激!雨一直不停,她拿出笔记本电脑上网,我拿出书慢慢看。背景音乐是无穷无尽的爵士乐,我喜欢这种安静美好的氛围。([]
我有些照片想和大家分享交流一下.我在2009年花了五个月一个星期的时间从乔治亚州的SPRINGER MT.背包徒步到缅因州的MT. KATAHDIN.完成全程共2,178英里, 或3,500公里, 越过十四个州.我拍了4,500多张的照片, 主要做个实地记录.因为东西太多, 人太懒, 除了原始每天的起末点外, 没作任何笔录, 所以文字说明就免了.但每个文件名都有日期和地点的对应.不过抱歉它们都是英文的.因图片储存的成人深夜福利视频器在异地, 如果网络连接效果不好, 我也不打算再在这里上载了.若有问或高见, 我以后再一一回答和请教.2009 美国阿帕拉契亚小道直通背包徒步另外, 我还有其它几个影集顺便一起附上.希望不使大家失望. 我忘了附上一张全程示意图.我一直忙着科罗拉多小道,把先发的帖子给忘了。雨天看窗服!这么长距离开车都觉得累-是的,当我做完的时候,人非常的累。我的体重掉了20多斤,回去后3个星期里,走起路来浑身疼。雨天看窗下次可以end2end洛基山脉 -给你猜对了一半。方向大概一样,地点可能稍有不同,但资金是关键。大东从“科罗拉多小道”找过来的,稍后慢慢再看。谢谢分享!-这过程太长,同时既然要做,就要比上次做的好。我恐怕在最近的将来找不出时间来完成。我最近把2009年背包徒步的原始照片又重新看了一遍,对其中一些具有代表性和我喜欢的作了处理,上载到8264我的相册里。现在觉得手上有点时间,而且以前几位8264的朋友鼓励我将编辑出以与大家分享。我原本在徒步时并没有任何要发表游记或功略的打算,只是想尽可能多地记录下自己所经历过的,所看到的一切,给自己以后一个回忆的依据。在背包徒步中,由于前后时间太长,即使后来比较好的景色很快地便成了所谓的"审美疲劳"的深夜福利在线播放,再加上按时完成旅途的压力,和天气等的原因,相当多的日子里,照片不是被疏忽了,便是寥寥无几。我的笔录除了每天的所到之处外,几乎没有任何其它的记录。我所能叙述的都靠回忆了,并且这也不是我的擅长。敬请谅解。阿帕拉契亚小道的全称为阿帕拉契亚山国家景观小道。它座落在美国大陆的东部,以乔治亚州的Springer Mountain为南端起点,贯穿14个州,直到在缅因州的北端终点,Mount Katahdin。小道全长约2181英里(3510公里,2011年更新),通过乔治亚州,北卡罗来纳州,田纳西州,韦吉利亚州,西韦吉利亚州,马里兰州,宾夕法尼亚州,新泽西州,纽约州,康奈迪克州,麻萨诸塞州,佛蒙特州,新汉普什尔州,和缅因州。阿帕拉契亚小道。阿帕拉契亚小道以相同的平面比例覆盖在中国地图上。阿帕拉契亚小道沿线的主要城市。这个基本由人类设想,人工刻意开辟的小道现由30个左右,当地小道俱乐部来维护,并受国家公园事务处(National Park Service),和非盈利性组织,阿帕拉契亚小道保护协会(Appalachian Trail Conservancy)的管理。其中参预的人员大部为自愿者。平时运作的资金来源于国家的预算,非盈利性经营,和各种捐款等。阿帕拉契亚小道最初在上个世纪的二十年代由几位先贤设想,与无数的参预者一起,克服重重困难,在短短的十几年中建成了绵延数千公里的贯通小道。小道的地势呈两端高耸,且较荒芜。而中段却与人类的居住与文明非常的接近。其最高点在北卡罗来纳州与田纳西州州界上的Clingmans Dome,6643英尺(或海拔2025米);最低处在纽约州的哈得逊河旁的熊山动物园内,只有124英尺(或海拔38米)。小道可以处在半径几百英里人烟罕见之地;也可以离纽约市只有34英里。小道沿线的植物种类繁多,温带的不说,阿尔卑斯型的高山,甚至所谓北极圈内型的植被都能见到。动物包括熊,郊狼,鹿,麋鹿,短尾山猫,猞狸,森林响尾蛇,等等。阿帕拉契亚小道的平面方向记为一白色的,5x15cm的漆印。一般在小道两侧的树上,面对南面和北面两个方向。沿线有共有250个左右的临时居住木屋,和营地,其中极少数是要付费的;而在此之外,更多的则是任意和免费的空间,只要符合管理当局的规定和遵守一般的露营常识就可以了。除去北端的一些地区外,大部分的小道均与道路交通线相交,走全线的背包徒步者大概隔每三,四天就可以由此进市镇去休息整理,补充给养等。这个小道原本的思路不是为了徒步者一个季节,一次走完。但"贯通型"的徒步却被视为最终极的方式。由于地理,气候,伤病,和时间等的原因,使得能在一个季度里完成全程3500公里的背包徒步成为非常的困难。在上个世纪,从起点登记上路的统计算起,通常完成全程的人只有10~15%。但在2000年以后,此成功率达到近30%左右。可能是由于网络媒介的传播发展,背包徒步的资料充足,及装备理念的更新导致了这种现象。一般一个徒步者要花上4~6个月左右的时间走完全程。基于开始时间和地点的不同,徒步者的行进方向可分为从南向北,或由北朝南,或分段跳跃似的,或从中间向两头去,或从两头往中间走。启程晚的徒步者在后期阶段,面临的可能已经是大雪覆盖地面的冬天了。阿帕拉契亚小道保护协会(Appalachian Trail Conservancy)对完成3500公里的阿帕拉契亚小道全程的背包徒步者作出统计,无论他们是一年内做完,还是分十年,二十年做完。背包徒步者必须要基于个人的诚信,如实地向其协会提出申请。从有史记载以来一共有一万两千多人完成了全程的徒步,包括一人完成多次的,一人分若干年完成的。。。我所知道的Warren Doyle16次走完全程,还有其他很多走完多次的人。我本人用了五个月另一个星期从开始到结束,包括相对长时回家处理事务和生病的时间。全世界从1936年起至今完成全程3500公里徒步人的总数,共一万两千多人(次?)。我名字在2009年完成全程3500公里徒步人的名单上。倒数第六。2009年4月29日当日起点 North Plainfield, NJ次日终点 Gainesville, GA距旅途终点Mt.

Katahdin 2167.1 英哩(3486.9 公里)里程数 11.2 英哩 (18.0 公里)天气 多云到阴图中两红点之间为我今天所走的路程。我于2009年4月29日下午离开了纽瓦克的Penn Station,搭上南行的Amtrak火车,经过16个小时的缓慢行驶,于第二天的早上7点左右到达了位于乔治亚州的Gainesville。我走之前与那里的一个运载背包徒步者的人,Dave联系好,付钱让他把我送到离小道南边终端两英里的一个垭口。我从那儿再返回向南端,正式开始这3500公里的徒步。我在垭口停车场旁的留影,两小时后我从最南端开始徒步,又重新回到此地,向北行进。从我此时的体型上可以看出多年办公室生活的痕迹,虽并不太差,但与我在结束时相比,却有着很大的区别。向南的阿帕拉契亚小道。此段我要走两次。因为我若直接上最南端,要经过一段8英里的爬升,因上路晚,时间紧,所以多花点钱,让Dave把我送到更容易些开始徒步的公路旁。Springer Mountain,乔治亚州,阿帕拉契亚小道的南端终点。向南看去,仍然是一片群山,但延伸到阿拉巴马州时,便成为丘陵与平原了。阿帕拉契亚小道南端终点的纪念铭牌。在石头上放着的是长途背包徒步者到册子,一般的情况下,藏在下面的石缝里,以避风雨。这个资料由当地的俱乐部收藏。我才到阿帕拉契亚小道的南端终点便遇见一位背包客。深夜在线福利视频相互介绍自己,知道彼此也做同样的事情。他的名字叫,John,来自佛蒙特州。在以后的近十天里,深夜在线福利视频在一起徒步,露营,和进城休息。他替我拍了这几张照片。我坐在阿帕拉契亚小道南端终点的纪念铭牌旁。我们遇见一位当地徒步俱乐部小道维护者。他的户外名字叫,"Many Sleeps",年龄74岁了,晚上就在附近露营,直到休息日。他的主要任务为监测小道的状况,向徒步者提供各种信息,与政府管理机构联系沟通等。他是阿帕拉契亚小道社区的名人,真是老当益壮!这3500公里的直通背包徒步就这样地开始了,万里长征的第一步。我的基本信念是无论走多远,多么枯燥无味,走一步,就离终点少一步。没有太多可以去想的。在四月底,海拔高度1300米的山区已经看见树枝发芽了。但今后若干星期后在更高的高度上,季节似乎有所返回。小道旁的树干上清楚可见白色的方向记。我经过几乎一天的长途火车与汽车旅行,无法好好地休息,人现相当疲劳。以后的几个小时的路程,路况十分的良好,非常平整,上下起伏也很小。乔治亚州的小道给我的影响很好,主要是来自于当地徒步俱乐部的贡献。小道利用一个旧的山区简易公路。我在倒卧的树干补充了一些能量。我今天并没有与John约好一起徒步。这只是在途中两人相遇,我给他拍的照。他以后一段与我在一起的时间里用大卡车约翰,"Big Truck Johnny"的别名,直到他的女儿厌倦了父亲在外徒步"不顾家"的行为,给他起了个别名,"懒驴"。他告诉我他目前没有业务,有四个月的时间,想用背包徒步来减轻体重,但也想走完全程。我坦率地告诉他,这四个月的时间对他这样从没有背包徒步,体力不在最佳状况的人来讲很紧。他也同意走到哪儿就到哪儿。我从中午时分开始便开始听到山脚下连续的枪击声。我很早以前就知道,在这段小道附近的山下为美国陆军精锐的特种作战部队,Army Ranger,的基地或训练营地。估计蓝博属于此类。平民徒步者有时能在附近的小道上碰见路过的正在训练的士兵。我身旁的枪声连续了好几个小时,体现了一个军事大国的经济实力。我想这山叫,Hawk Mountain。陆军巡游兵的基地就在其下面。天虽然还不太晚,但我昨天的几乎一天的旅途使我感到相当的疲劳。与"大卡车约翰",及另一个背包客聊过后,就在一个已经建立的营地上安营扎寨。而他们却继续前进,准备再走4个英里,在一个避难所过夜。我的吊床。它的特点是体积小,重量轻,但舒适程度差,空间小。我在天转热后便放弃使用它,而用普通落地帐篷。由于这里是野外,理论上有熊及其它动物的出现,所以食物袋要高悬在树枝上。夜里事与愿违,"大卡车约翰"第二天告诉我,半夜里一架Army Ranger的直升机进行空降训练,正好在他露营的小溪上空,探照灯把附近照个雪亮,徘徊不走,吓得他不轻,半天没有睡好觉。我这儿却什么都没有听见。夜里飘有零星小雨,还不能真正检验我的吊床防雨的功能。 2009年5月1日当日起点 Sassafras Mountain, GA, AT M.

Katahdin 2151.3 英哩 (3461.4 公里)里程数 15.8 英哩 (25.4 公里)天气 多云到阴图中两红点之间为我今天所走的路程。阿帕拉契亚小道经过许多国家和州立公园和保护地。这里的蓝岭与我后来见的蓝岭不知是否有关系。我一早离开营地,路过"大卡车约翰"的营地,他正好要开拔。于是我们聊了起来,因为明天就要暂时离开小道去补充给养,处理个人事宜,所以决定一起行走。我在小道上。乔治亚的平整地段,徒步起来的确相当舒适。小道就是沿着山脊,但并不是每个山头都去,而且放坡也很缓和。由于森林火灾,小道旁被烧毁的林子。沿着等高线或缓慢放坡的小道。由于土质的关系,走上去相当的舒服。来到Woody Gap,Woody垭口。回望走过的小道。在这个季节里,山区的水汽十分的充足,而且地表的温度相对较高。水汽在升入天空后,遇到冷空气,便形成降雨,这样的循环往复,造成雨天联绵不断。上午走过的群山。疲惫的"大卡车约翰"和我借着一个观景点,坐下休息。他一直夸赞我的体力比他好。我了解到他的祖上两辈均在纽约市作港口的引水员,有法国和德国的血统。而他现在为独立的承包商,住在佛蒙特州。我的自拍。大山虽然绝对海拔不高,但不断的上上下下,可以使人很疲惫。天空开始下起间断小雨。给才上路后不久的我一个心理上的小小冲击。在乔治亚州段的舒适的小道。雨过后,天空似乎在放晴。"大卡车约翰"和我在小道旁发现了一个营地。深夜在线福利视频虽然知道避难所离这儿不太远,但大家都累了,懒得再多走几步,就决定在此搭营,明天上路也快。不过在后来取水的时候,深夜在线福利视频俩还是去那避难所走了一趟,遇见了我在最后一天的徒步中仍然在一起的"萤火虫",一个来自明尼苏达,但以前在佛罗里达工作的女孩。我在徒步的第二天与"萤火虫"相见,途中几千公里,深夜在线福利视频碰到好多次,在最后的一天深夜在线福利视频在北端终点见了最后一面。深夜在线福利视频从没有相约一同背包徒步,因为她是个很独立的人,而且我个把星期以后就"单飞"了。他们以后也曾邀请我一同徒步,但被我谢绝了,我想要更多的自由和速度。"大卡车约翰"在建立他的营地。那么大的个子,却住在相当小的帐篷里,为减轻负重,但晚上肯定不舒服。我的吊床。夜里雷雨交加,闪电呈各种颜色,就在头顶很近的地方,我唯恐会被雷击。所以露宿在山顶上不是件好事。这个经验我永远记住,除非我确信天气,和风景特好。2009年5月2日当日起点 Woods Hole Shelter, GA, AT M.

Katahdin 2147.3 英哩 (3455.0 公里)里程数 3.7 英哩 (6.0 公里)天气 阴今天的路程。昨晚的雷暴雨给我带来了两个在户外重要的信息。除非万不得已,天气不好的时候,特别在夏天,不要在山脊或山顶上露营,避免遭雷击;再是我的吊床,在风雨交加的时候,顶棚里面难免遭受雨水的侵袭,不是一个最佳的户外住所的选择。早上离开营地不久,便开始爬升。现在看来并没有什么,但当时经过几天辛苦的徒步,倒觉得挺吃力的。小道渐渐地上升,我可以看到Blood Mountain了。在接近Blood Mountain避难所前的一张多幅连拼。面对西面。"大卡车约翰"替我拍的。据他自己讲,他根本不会照相。我当时也的确担心没有结果。"大卡车约翰"。我拍摄的就大不相同,信心很高,哈。。Blood Mountain Shelter,一个几乎没有人敢在里面过夜的避难所。倒不是因为它有点陈旧,和失修,而是在它周围的故事传说。当年这一带居住着两个印第安人的部落联盟,以这里山脊为界。但不知为何引起双方的战事,彼此在此山头上争夺撕杀,弄得个血流遍地,这山头因此而得名。Blood Mountain两侧的景色。阳光透过云层,给我以短暂的希望。这里的有许多观景点。我感到有点兴奋,一生中很少看到过如此连绵起伏的群山。一张多幅连拼。"大卡车约翰"与我在此简短休息后,便下山,准备进城休息,补充给养了。在下山的途中我们赶上了"萤火虫",她因为经验不足,鞋子选择不当,给她的脚带来巨大的麻烦。我在这几天内也尽我所能给"大卡车约翰""灌输"一些户外装备和背包徒步的小常识。他很感谢我,说我为他的老师。但他不久就琢磨出应该怎样做很多事了。深夜在线福利视频下山后来到今天的小道徒步终点,一个垭口,Neels Gap;和所经的公路,US 19&129。 这个垭口附近有个户外店。一般没有多少阿帕拉契亚小道长途背包徒步经验的人,经过几天的徒步,都会被建议或体会出,要在此更换或更新他们的装备。我与"大卡车约翰"说过,棉布的牛仔裤不能用于户外。他根据我的其它一些建议,将不必要的东西请那店帮忙寄回家去。在此之前,"大卡车约翰"与一个经营住宿的营地主联系好,让他开车过来接深夜在线福利视频,其中包括至今一直独立行走的"萤火虫"。那户外店旁一个小客栈。深夜在线福利视频嫌它过于简单,拥挤,而选择了较贵的木屋营地。我后来一直延用这样的做法,经过几天辛苦的跋涉,宁愿多花点钱,独自安稳的休息和恢复体力最要紧。负面的效应,钱包瘪下去地更快了。我以后若有这样的背包徒步,无论经济情况如何,我会选择这简单的客栈,因为可以见到更多类似于我这样的背包客,大家更容易彼此交流,联络感情。"萤火虫"与我与相互拍照。我在知道她的小道名以前,曾想过给她起个有中国味的,叫"豆芽菜"的名字,但后来很长时间没能见到她,无法告诉她。一个在大学学心理,后来从事于辅导不良少年工作的年轻女子。只听说她曾多次带那些少年进入户外的环境,想用自然的力量感化,纠正他们,因此自己也想多一些的户外经验。在等车来接深夜在线福利视频去木屋营地。右边的是"萤火虫";而前面打电话的是一个从事运输业的独立经营人,一个乔治亚州带有印第安人血统的人,"冰雹"。 他选择了今晚呆在那个小客栈。被遗弃的徒步装备。可看出徒步者对它们的感情是如此的仇恨。木屋营地的主人,Bill终于把深夜在线福利视频带到了独立的木屋。这里面有厨房,卫生间,客厅与饭厅,卧室连在一起。深夜在线福利视频个人个占一间木屋,每晚。由于体力消耗很大,食物补充不很及时,我才进来时感到有点寒冷,但出乎我意料之外,屋里有暖气设施,室温不久就上去了。这木屋一般供短期度假,户外,及打猎等的家庭使用。他们可以在里面生火做饭,只要另付几块钱就可以了。应该说是经济实惠的。何况还是热水澡洗。我原本带了一套处理蛇咬的工具,但估计不会有太大的用场,就留在了这里。"大卡车约翰"的木屋。深夜在线福利视频清理完毕后,准备请Bill开车把深夜在线福利视频三人送到靠近的小城,Blairsville去就餐,和购买食物。"萤火虫"的屋子在山坡底下。Blairsville的超市,Ingles门口的停车场。那饮料看来是"大卡车约翰"最喜欢的。深夜在线福利视频三人在购买晚徒步食品后,去了一家自助餐去改善下。"萤火虫"和"大卡车约翰"。饭饱后,深夜在线福利视频走到市中心,给Bill打了个电话,等他来接我们。深夜在线福利视频则闲着无聊,四处逛悠。当时在市中心有个旧车展。我买了一袋土豆片,大家分享一下。"萤火虫"和"大卡车约翰"。我,"Highway Man"与"大卡车约翰"。我的小道名望文生义的话,就有点不切了。我想这是Blairsville市的市政厅。我们回到了Bill的木屋营地,还有很多时间,便去他的接待厅看看电视,也好知道未来几天的天气。我以后在背包徒步中一直有这样的习惯,在市镇里歇脚时了解未来的天气,以掌握节奏和主动,直到最后太习惯于各种的恶劣天气,才不太介意了。([]
〖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深夜在线福利视频仍在美西自驾途中。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深夜在线福利视频的爱。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我们的时间表。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,深夜在线福利视频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?”来刻意与深夜在线福利视频套近乎,但“Have a nice day”却几乎是深夜在线福利视频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,“深夜在线福利视频来自中国!”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,深夜在线福利视频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。再接着问了一下深夜在线福利视频的旅行目的地、天数,以及深夜在线福利视频在国内都是做什么工作,就让深夜在线福利视频分别按指纹,盖章通过了。取行李后,深夜在线福利视频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,招手要我们过去检查行李。为什么是深夜在线福利视频?看看深夜在线福利视频前后也没有其他人被叫过去,心里诧异。检查就检查,反正深夜在线福利视频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,深夜在线福利视频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,愈发让深夜在线福利视频感受到,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,深夜在线福利视频应该坐蓝线车,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,深夜在线福利视频顺着这股人流走,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。找到深夜在线福利视频的租车公司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深夜在线福利视频。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。租车柜台前接待深夜在线福利视频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,工作人员就开始为深夜在线福利视频办理取车手续。至于深夜在线福利视频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,工作人员帮深夜在线福利视频做了免费升级,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。当时有两种车型任深夜在线福利视频选择,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,深夜在线福利视频却相信他,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服务。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,但深夜在线福利视频体验下来,无论成人深夜福利视频,还是车的质量,都感觉不错。深夜在线福利视频的租车费用,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

飞过大洋来看你办完租车手续后,上楼提车。不一会儿功夫,深夜在线福利视频便驾着一辆八成新的JEEP驶出租车区,正式开始深夜在线福利视频的美国自驾行。深夜在线福利视频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,深夜在线福利视频也渐渐习以为常。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,即使深夜在线福利视频在美国呆了整整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,却丝毫没影响深夜在线福利视频心情。“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,深夜在线福利视频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,特别是深夜在线福利视频酒店所处区域,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。前台为深夜在线福利视频办理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,我们初抵美国不久,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,让深夜在线福利视频有点意想不到。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,深夜在线福利视频便准备出门了,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 ,深夜在线福利视频的确已经在美国了。 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,“深夜在线福利视频还是去圣荷西的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,深夜在线福利视频再去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对深夜在线福利视频的吸引力比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。但当时留给我们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,让深夜在线福利视频目不睱接,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,会让深夜在线福利视频悔青了肠子。小美丽说,我们是有多爱户外啊,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。深夜在线福利视频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说想请深夜在线福利视频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。小美丽知道深夜在线福利视频嗜辣,尤其蟋蟀头,无辣不成菜,所以特地点了最辣的鸡翅,连成人深夜福利视频员也再三与她确认,“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。原以为深夜在线福利视频会难以忍受美国单调的饮食,但没想到,我们在美国的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。彼时深夜在线福利视频四人吃饭时他还是她的男朋友,待深夜在线福利视频美西玩了一圈,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, 深夜在线福利视频已经在酒店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,深夜在线福利视频的车就停在那里。一晚的停车费.74,在酒店前台缴费。前一天停车时,告知工作人员深夜在线福利视频住对面酒店,停车场便出具了一张单子,让我们在酒店缴费盖章,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,否则深夜在线福利视频这自驾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设置为深夜在线福利视频的第一个导航点,便出发,正式开始深夜在线福利视频的美西自驾行。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。深夜在线福利视频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,让我们生出极大兴趣,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,深夜在线福利视频国内的信用卡,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。但深夜在线福利视频的第一次自助加油,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8.62(单价.099/G)。当时,我并不知道我的信用卡被扣$101,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$101。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$101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。招行成人深夜福利视频很好,打通电话后,测出我是从国外打的电话,便自动转入人工成人深夜福利视频,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1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,所以深夜在线福利视频的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,深夜在线福利视频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,却给了深夜在线福利视频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,深夜在线福利视频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,深夜在线福利视频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,却几乎不清楚深夜在线福利视频每天的行程,我只是在每天出发前给他大概讲一下深夜在线福利视频当天的车程,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,深夜在线福利视频竟然也停留了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,深夜在线福利视频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,却着实把深夜在线福利视频惊艳了。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,而每个小镇都令我们有想住下来的冲动。 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,深夜在线福利视频把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,工作人员却告诉我们说,现在这里暂时不能停车,要换另一个地点停车,并给了深夜在线福利视频一张纸,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,深夜在线福利视频自己另找停车位吧。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。但深夜在线福利视频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,是令深夜在线福利视频诧异的。 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。([]

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 location 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([]
