Chapter 1385: 1385. Entering the Mountain (4/5)

Chapter 1385 1385. Entering the Mountain (45)

The Appalachian Mountains are the backbone of the eastern United States. Together with the Rocky Mountains, they support North America from east to west!

This is not a simple mountain. It is a collective name for many mountain ranges in eastern North America, also known as the Appalachian Highlands or the Appalachian Mountains.

Li Du opened the mountain map—it was a very large map. Godzilla opened his arms and pinched a corner of the map with his left and right fingertips to reveal it all.

"This map is really big." Lu Guan exclaimed, "Godzilla, your arms are so short, no wonder your coach said you can't practice basketball, haha, you are two meters ah, how much is your arm span? I'm afraid it's not two meters One?"

Godzilla's face was dark: "Get out, beat you!"

Li Du looked carefully at the map. The mountains stretched from Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada to the east of North America, and ended in the middle of Alabama in the south.

Once, this mountain range had the reputation of America's mother mountain, and it was the British who gave it this title:

The first 13 British colonies were established on the east of the Appalachian Mountains, in the narrow strip from New Hampshire in the north to Georgia in the south, because a natural barrier was formed between the eastern seaboard and the vast lowlands of the mainland, which was of great importance to the The colonization and development of the continent played a vital role.

This has become a thing of the past. Li Du went all the way east from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. The two cities are not far apart, only an hour's drive away.

Pittsburgh is at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, and this section is considered the starting point of the Blue Ridge section of the mountains.

The Appalachian Mountains are too large and vast. Not only in Canada, but in the United States, there are a large number of mountains belonging to it:

Katahdin Mountains in Maine, White Mountains in New Hampshire, and Green Mountains in Vermont, Green Mountains extend to Massachusetts, Connecticut and eastern New York called the Berkshire Mountains...

Looking at the central region, there are the Catskill Mountains in New York State, the Blue Ridge in southern Pennsylvania, and the Allegheny Mountains extending from New York State to western Maryland in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio...

Looking south, the mountains in West Virginia and Virginia are called the Allegheny Mountains; the mountains in Virginia, western North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Georgia belong to the Blue Ridge...

Not only that, the Euneka Mountains in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina and the Cumberland Mountains stretching from eastern Kentucky to northern Alabama...

Li Du's eyes were dazzled looking at the big map. He exclaimed, "Mom, this mountain range is too big. I think we will get lost this time when we go up the mountain."

Brother Wolf came over to take a look, and said, "It's very simple. With this map and the compass, we won't get lost. Besides, we also have a GPS locator. Don't worry, boss, I will find the way."

With everyday items packed, they are ready to go.

It will take some time to enter the mountain this time. Li Du estimated at least a week, so he prepared a lot of supplies, weapons and ammunition. Of course, the heavy weapons and ammunition are all in the black hole space.

The black hole space is already packed to the brim, but in addition, each of them is still carrying a big bag and a small bag.

Even Aao and Abai were not left behind, Aao had two small bags hanging on his body, and Abai carried two satchels, one on the left and one on the left, just like a Red Army soldier carrying a box.

The Appalachian Mountains are long stretches, but they are not known for their majesty, but for their beautiful scenery.

This is one of North America's premier recreational areas, home to the famous Appalachian Trail.

However, Li Du doesn’t think that anyone can really go all over this trail, and he thinks the name “trail” is a bit too euphemistic: the total length of the road is 3,380 kilometers!

In short, if you want to go to the Blue Ridge, the road conditions are good and the scenery is also very good. Unfortunately, they can't take this well-developed mountain road, and most of them have to go across the mountains - the Kehaina tribe used to live in the deep mountains.

Li Du and the others were very lucky to ride a bicycle first. Pittsburgh just built a section of sightseeing road around the Blue Ridge. The road is called Great-Allegheny-Passage, with a total length of 141 miles.

When they came to Pittsburgh, this road had just been opened, so many people traveled on this road, mainly on foot and by bicycle.

There are mountains and flowers on both sides of the road. The flowers are azaleas, roses, and roses, and the trees are various red maple trees. The scenery is not to say, and the environment is even more so.

After riding bicycles on the road, they moved faster. At first, they met some hiking tourists on the road and were left behind by them all the way.

Li Du was very satisfied with this, and said with a cheerful smile, "Do these people want to walk 141 miles? It's more exciting to ride a bicycle."

Not long after he finished speaking, a car overtook them, and deafening reggae music was played in the car, and young men and women inside were twisting their bodies to the rhythm of the music.

Li Du was stunned, and then yelled: "Isn't this the damn bicycle lane and walking lane of Made? How can you still drive?"

Lu Guan said: "Maybe this road was not strictly managed when it was opened, so they drove up."

Not long after, another car drove up, and it was also very fast, bringing up a cloud of smoke.

Li Du spat, and the officer scolded cooperatively: "I have no sense of public morality, no sense of morality! Shame, I feel shame for you! Boss, why are you turning around?"

"Go back and drive!"

Rolling officer: "..."

In the end, Li Du gave up this idea, because this sightseeing road has just opened, and there are too many people, and the road is designed to be narrow, and the car does not move much on it. Overall, it is not as convenient as a bicycle. .

And because this is a hiking trail, there are campers on the road, and the tents are set up on the side of the road, which makes it more difficult to drive by.

From noon to evening, they drove hundreds of kilometers and entered the depths of the Blue Ridge.

In the evening, they passed a small lake in the mountains. The area of ​​the lake was only tens of acres, which was as small as a palm compared to the Lake Erie they had just left.

But the lake is beautiful, the lake water is so clear, like a piece of crystal embedded in the mountains. There are green weeds growing from the south side of the lake to the roadside, and colorful wild flowers are looming among them.

On the north side of the lake is a lush pine forest. The forest is reflected in the water and complements the white clouds. With the rays of the setting sun falling on it, the lake gradually turns orange red, just like the western sky.

At sunset, when the birds return to their nests, some wild ducks, grouse, and orioles fly across the lake in groups. Occasionally, some wild ducks fall down, causing ripples...

There are raptors flying in the sky with wide wings, Brother Wolf said, "Andean condor?! I don't have..."

Li Du interrupted him: "Don't talk, let me be quiet!"
