October 4
From California to Nevada to all'Idaho.
The day is cold and bright, we start very soon ... at 10 am from California we are already Nevada.Siamo sull'Interstatale 80 Outside It 's a two-lane road in both directions, the toll is gratuito.Pochi services, a few gas pumps.
I like the Union Pacific train in the desert ...
's all great, infinite spaces, desert.
Sometimes malls "deserted desert" I see a casino, it is strange in the desert ... and yet so, I wonder where people live, we stop in Winnemucca (nice name right?) And eat a steak superb.
through a beautiful river, I think the Carson River.
Nevada is the driest state in the U.S. and the light is amazing ... at a service station I feel so happy in the desert comincio a correre con Simone che mi guarda e ride.
Mi piace molto il deserto, mi da un senso di infinito come mi da il mare...l'uomo qua non ha potuto trasformare e la natura è sopravvissuta intatta
Sì, LO SO, SEMBRA IRREALE EPPURE E' COSI'
Passiamo vicino a Reno che, dopo Las Vegas, è la città più popolosa.Las Vegas è a sud e non è sulla nostra rotta...peccato deve essere una città incredibilmente strana.
Il nome Nevada deriva dallo spagnolo e significa "innevato", qui si incontrano le montagne Rocky, on the border with Montana, its nickname is
"Silver State" and the capital is Carson City, while traveling ... I study ...
E 'is the only U.S. state where legalized gambling and prostitution.
The Great Plains run I see cowboys and Indians, seems like a dream, is a place where the imagination can run free. We enter
Idaho late afternoon there is still a special light,
the landscape is wild, wind and rain have carved the rocks, arid mountain ranges are separated by barren valleys, we begin to see the gorges and peaks like in the movies ...
this state's nickname is the "Gem State" is a large surface area and sparsely populated 6 inhabitants per square km! I look at the map and it seems impossible to see the road traveled, a state daily, sometimes two!
get tired, but satisfied in Jerome, Idaho, change the time zone for the first time in SanFrancisco, we're going to the west and the air is cool now ... ... + 1
October 5 after a good rest and a good breackfast the Best Western in office, we start from Jerome which is a center of little interest, past, Soda Springs (many names of cities in America end up with the word ... Springs) a pass in a great valley crossed by a River, Green River and ferrovia.Vediamo pastures, plants that are colored red stain in the green and blacks ... Let bison near the Great Salt Lake and lost by a few miles into Utah.
This state has an Indian name meaning "mountain people"
"Beehive State" (state of the beekeepers? Mah .. I have yet to discover) the capital is Salt Lake City. The weather here starts to deteriorate and, unfortunately, it begins to rain and very cold ... do we make 1000 miles! and enter in Wyoming!
prairies, farms, farm surrounded by trees so many horses on the long straight ... the federal police stop us for a check, all right, only we were driving too close to the car in front of noi.Il police officer approached the passenger door ( I!) holding the side of the machine, it seems suspicious, then we look at him, drew a smile and I see that relaxes ... we see that in Wyoming do not seem so hospitable, we can understand mostly in service stations or stops we do to eat, our human relations are poor, but the smile does not seem at home here.
's the state of the U.S. along with the more conservative Texas.
arrive in Rock Springs (springs again!) That is already evening we are very tired and we seem to see the snow fall from the sky, the rocky mountains are covered with snow.
These towns are really strange, we are not accustomed to such countries where everything is concentrated in a commercial area, found on the main road where you see mostly gas stations, Burger King and small supermarkets that sell everything from food to clothes ... the houses are around, a few lower and a little sad.
I do not see children, the effects appear to places disabitati.In Wyoming is the least populated of the U.S., 2 inhabitants per square km ... His nickname is "Cawboy State" In this state there are several Indian reservations inhabited by the Sioux survivors who lived in this territory before the arrival of Europeans.
The capital of Wyoming is Cheyenne.
A Rock Springs we killed a little, eat Chinese food in the room ... we can almost certainly continue to Yellowstone ... we gave up in Las Vegas, Arizona and New Mexico and unfortunately we to leave the mountains of Wyoming due to bad weather and heading south-west.
I really like American trucks and I imagine the life of a trucker who travels alone
all these miles ...
We'll see how the weather will be tomorrow morning when you wake up, but the weather is bad.
It 'amazing how in America the weather forecast is accurate, all rely with certainty to the weather in Italy ... I do not believe anything, but here I am realizing that they are reliable, maybe we weather variability has become in the long run even a hint of character ...
I think it's a bit like going to sea when the weather forces you to stop or change course to port. We
front of more than 2500 miles and a wave of bad weather throughout the course of the Rocky Mountains ...
October 6
We remain sull'Intersatale 80 southbound: Pueblo, Colorado.
We want to leave the cold country of Wyoming and find the sun.
The road runs along the railway, we are up and it rains a un'altopiano dirotto.E 'a lousy day, I have a bit of a bad cold and umore.In these cases better "disappear" ... I sleep a lot while driving
Simon, then a light through my eyelids, and the sun Colorado!
We are in Fort Collins is a beautiful country full of beautiful trees and small houses, single-family, surrounded by greenery, the people are dressed lightly despite the 1000 meters that characterize this state Central America.
SEE this continuous springs? ? invented it ... MICA ME !!!!!
We have the Rocky Mountains to continue west and south.
eat a pizza in two in a room is nice ... lots of wind, the leaves are swirling, the sky is very
terso.Addirittura is seen to reach a kind of small typhoon ... tell us that is quite a abituale.La people are smiling, relaxed and more willing to talk and give us information on the road.
We're going to Denver the capital, and we continue to see illuminated in Colorado Springs.
Colorado's nickname is the "Centennial State" (state centennial)
was the state of the miners because of its important mines of gold and silver.
Utah Wyoming and Colorado are the three states have their borders drawn on the meridians and parallels ...
arrive at a Best Western very hospitable, welcoming us a nice guy, we're the Colorado has given us joy with its red earth ... the morning after a good night's sleep we see the sun and then take advantage of his presence to a ride in a natural park, Garden of the Gods.Troviamo tourists for the first time in three days of street people percorsa.La tossed his horse to ride, others walk or ride bicycles.
Simo and I happy we are everywhere ...
A SOON!
