Iar ne-am plimbat! De vineri p\u00e2n\u0103 luni am fost rup\u0163i de lume, doar duminic\u0103 sear\u0103 am g\u0103sit un motel cu internet (\u015fi prima mea grij\u0103 a fost s\u0103 citesc onlinesport.ro ca s\u0103 v\u0103d ce-a f\u0103cut Steaua). Daria lucreaz\u0103 la un proiect foto cu cl\u0103diri abandonate \u015fi am facem un tur de for\u0163\u0103 de patru zile prin Death Valley \u015fi Mono Lake.<\/p>\n
Cel mai mult s-a bucurat de excursia asta Golful nostru. \u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, l-am dus la revizie \u00eenainte s\u0103 plec\u0103m, pentru c\u0103 se apropia de venerabila v\u00e2rst\u0103 de 90.000 de mile (vreo 145.000 km). Plus c\u0103 de vreo doi ani, de c\u00e2nd nu mai conduc imens p\u00e2n\u0103 la serviciu, l-am plimbat mai mult prin ora\u015f \u015fi acolo mereu scoate consum mai prost. Acum, la drum \u00eentins, am scos cu el 28.2 mpg (cam 8.3 l\/100km). \u015etiu c\u0103 nu se compar\u0103 cu ma\u015finile europene, dar pentru o ma\u015fin\u0103 cu motor de 2L nu \u015ftiu dac\u0103 pot pretinde mai mult. Ce i-a pl\u0103cut lui mai pu\u0163in e c\u0103 l-am dus pe drumuri pr\u0103fuite \u015fi acum este absolut infect. Nu l-am sp\u0103lat \u00eenc\u0103, dar cred c\u0103 va fi nevoie de c\u00e2teva sp\u0103l\u0103ri ca s\u0103 se spele to\u0163i g\u00e2ndacii strivi\u0163i. A, \u015fi i-a cr\u0103pat \u015fi parbrizul, de la vreo piatr\u0103 r\u0103t\u0103cit\u0103. Acum vom afla c\u00e2t de bun\u0103 e compania de asigur\u0103ri. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Asta a fost a treia oar\u0103 c\u00e2nd am fost \u00een Death Valley. Am mai fost o dat\u0103 vara \u015fi o dat\u0103 \u00een noiembrie, iar acum a fost o experien\u0163\u0103 complet deosebit\u0103. Toat\u0103 valea era \u00eenflorit\u0103, plin\u0103 de ni\u015fte flori pirpirii galbene sau mov. Vremea era numai bun\u0103 \u00een timpul zilei \u015fi seara cam frig, exact ca \u00een San Francisco.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Death Valley ne-am tot dus \u00een dou\u0103 locuri, la diverse ore ale zilei: la Rhyolite, un ora\u015f abandonat, \u015fi la Wonder Mine, o min\u0103 unde au extras mormane de aur \u015fi argint pe la 1910. La Mono Lake am fi vrut s\u0103 mergem la Bodie, un alt ora\u015f abandonat, mult mai mare \u015fi mult mai bine conservat, dar vremea n-a \u0163inut cu noi \u015fi era drumul \u00eenchis din cauza z\u0103pezii. A\u015fa c\u0103 ne-am dus pu\u0163in pe la malul lacului (Mono) \u015fi am dat o tur\u0103 pe jos. Ce-mi place la americani e c\u0103 au foarte multe panouri cu informa\u0163ii peste tot, chiar \u015fi \u00een locuri pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 care ai putea trece f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ai habar c\u0103 sunt interesante. Mono Lake, de exemplu, este de 6 ori mai s\u0103rat dec\u00e2t oceanul \u015fi de 100 de ori mai alcalin (le\u015fios). Este comparabil cu Marea Moart\u0103 ca salinitate. Din cauza asta nu tr\u0103iesc pe\u015fti \u00een el, ci doar ni\u015fte creve\u0163i minusculi (brine shrimp). Din p\u0103cate, creve\u0163ii \u0103ia mor iarna, deci nu era mare lucru de v\u0103zut.<\/p>\n
Luni am ajuns acas\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 prea multe peripe\u0163ii. A fost bine c\u0103 n-am condus \u00een weekend, c\u0103 vineri \u015fi luni n-a fost deloc trafic \u015fi am mers tot cu 70-75-80 mph tot drumul.<\/p>\n
S\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2na asta avem musafiri, ne viziteaz\u0103 un veri\u015for al Dariei, \u015fi deci iar\u0103 facem turul ora\u015fului. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
