Easy Tycoon

Chapter 638
In fact, the Rocky Mountains in winter are more charming than in summer. Yang Jing has never experienced the Rocky Mountains in winter before, but now he came here suddenly, and truly felt the style of the Rocky Mountains in winter. This made him couldn't help temporarily giving up the idea of ​​traveling to the time and space of the 80s, but was going to take a walk along the mountain road to relax himself completely.

The Rocky Mountains are not only the backbone of North America, but also a paradise for hiking enthusiasts in North America.

There are countless challenging hiking routes in the Rocky Mountains, and you can discuss any one of them for several days, such as the Yosemite National Park hiking route, such as the Eldorado National Park The forest park hiking route, of course, is also indispensable for the California hiking route, which is known as the most beautiful and most difficult hiking route in the world.

The shortest length of this route is more than 1002 kilometers. Although it cannot compare with the longest hiking route in the world in length, that is, the [-]-kilometer Bibumon Trail in Western Australia, but The California hiking route is one of the most difficult and most beautiful in the world.

In fact, the California hiking route is just a general term, which refers to starting from the border of California and Oregon, and then all the way south along the Rocky Mountains to near Los Angeles.In this area with a length of [-] kilometers, a width of more than [-] kilometers, a total area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers, and nine national parks and hundreds of state parks, there are countless routes for travelers to choose from. How do you choose, as long as you can hike from the northernmost point of California to near Los Angeles in the mountains, then you have completed the greatest hiking in the world.

Countless hiking enthusiasts around the world challenge this hiking route every year, and many of them died in the process of conquering this route, but this still cannot stop them from loving this route.

Even though it is winter now, in this stretch of mountains, I don't know how many people are conquering this route at this time.

It was as if Yang Jing walked about four or five kilometers into the mountains along a sparsely populated mountain road, and then met two donkey friends who were resting.

Seeing Yang Jing coming down the mountain alone with a travel bag on his back, the bearded man greeted Yang Jing with a smile.

The friendly attitude made Yang Jing a little happy, after all, he is a typical Asian face.But at the same time, he was also very curious. The two donkey friends in front of him were very dusty. Obviously, they came here after a long journey.

"Hey, hello, are you hikers too? I'm Albert Yang, from Huaxia." Walking up to them, Yang Jing also sat down.

"Chinese? Hey, hello, I'm Tony Oldman, this is my wife Nicole Oldman, we are both from New Zealand. Albert, nice to meet you, you are also going to go hiking in the mountains traveling?"

These two donkey friends are a man and a woman. The man is about 30 to 40 years old, and his figure looks very burly.As for his wife, she looked a little slender, but she was pretty.

"Yeah, I've heard that the Rocky Mountains are beautiful, but I haven't had time to experience them up close. I just have some free time, so I decided to hike into the mountains to enjoy the winter scenery of the Rocky Mountains. How about you? "

"Hehe, my husband and I came to the Rocky Mountains as early as four weeks ago, but the starting point of our hiking is not here, but in the farther north at Camp Hapi, which is about 400 kilometers away from here. Kilometers."

"Happy Camp? You started from Happy Camp? Jesus Christ, you are really amazing." Yang Jing gestured to the couple with a thumbs up, his tone full of admiration.

Camp Hapi is located at the junction of California and Oregon, deep in the Rocky Mountains, on the banks of the Klamath River, and is a very famous camping site.Every year, a large number of donkey friends go to that small town, and then start hiking from that small town.

From Hapi Camp to here, the straight-line distance is almost more than [-] kilometers, but this refers to the straight-line distance on the map. If you want to go from Hapi Camp to here, the actual walking route is at least two times longer. Come a hundred kilometers.

If it is on flat land, it would take at most half a month and 20 days to walk the [-]-kilometer journey on foot, but it would be extremely difficult to walk so far from the mountains.It is quite amazing that the couple was able to get here from Camp Hapi in four weeks.

"Tony, are you and your wife challenging the hiking trails in California?" Yang Jing asked curiously.

"That's right, our couple met through hiking more than ten years ago. After we got married, we have to go on a long-distance hiking trip and several short and medium-distance hiking trips every year. This time we are going to challenge the most difficult one. The California hiking route, so we came here after three months of preparation. Now, we have completed half of this route, and it is estimated that we will be able to complete this challenge in another four to five weeks."

"Wow, you two are really amazing!" Yang Jing praised with a smile, Tony accepted Yang Jing's compliment with a big grin, and his wife smiled shyly.

Looking at the couple's dusty appearance, Yang Jing suddenly thought of the four guys he met in Alert last year who crossed the North American continent on foot, so he said: "Actually, when I went to Alert, the northernmost point of Canada last year, I have met four lunatics. Yes, their actions are really no different from lunatics in my opinion, but I also admire their actions, because it took the four of them nine months to traverse The entire continent of North America, finally reaching Alert."

"Do you know Jeff and the four of them?" Nicole, who was sitting next to Tony, asked in surprise after hearing what Yang Jing said.

Yang Jing scratched his head, and in his memory, it seemed that one of the four crazy guys was named Jeff, "Is the Jeff you mentioned called Jeff Nzos? He's not very tall, but his head Big, Mediterranean cut, about forty years old?"

Nicole smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's Jeff, he's also a New Zealander, and he's very well-known in our circle of travel friends in New Zealand. The year before last, he said he would take part in a hiking trip across the North American continent. At that time, we Everyone thought he was crazy, but in September last year, the TV station reported his feat, and he did complete the feat of crossing the North American continent with three Americans."

Tony also exclaimed: "Yes, it is really an incredible feat. It took nine months to cover a distance of nearly [-] kilometers. The most important thing is that more than half of their trip was in the inaccessible Canadian ice field, which is even more remarkable. Yes. I think their feat is even better than Forrest Kump in the movie."

Yang Jing also laughed. Strictly speaking, although Forrest Gump in the movie ran across the United States three times, the difficulty of the feat was really compared to the feat accomplished by the four lunatics he met in Alert last year. It's nothing.

Of course, if these four lunatics are compared to the German soldier Svenki in another movie "Polar Rebirth", they will not be a bit worse.

Yang Jing had watched that movie, and Yang Jing's teeth felt a little sore after watching it.The film tells the story of a German prisoner named Svenki, who was exiled to the frigid eastern Siberia for 25 years of labor reform.After five years of inhuman life, he vowed to escape from this human realm.He launched the [-]-kilometer "Polar Escape" operation alone.In more than three years of fleeing career, he experienced the wind and snow, conquered the mountains, and traveled all over Siberia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Mongolia and other places.When he arrived in Iran, he unexpectedly became a prisoner.But in the end, he managed to return to his hometown.

Yang Jing, who has been to Siberia, is well aware of the harshness of Siberia. It took him three years to cross Siberia alone. The difficulty is naturally more difficult than four people crossing the North American continent.The most important thing is that this movie is adapted from real people and real events. In other words, there is really such a person in history who spent three years completing the feat of crossing Siberia on foot!
Yang Jing told the couple about the movie "Rebirth of the Pole". The couple had never seen this German movie, but after hearing Yang Jing's story, they immediately regarded the protagonist in the movie as a heavenly being!

Perhaps because they found a common topic, Nicole, who was a little shy at first, gradually let go, "Toni and I came to challenge the California hiking route this time, in fact, we were encouraged by Jeff's feat of crossing the North American continent. Otherwise, the two of us would not dare to directly challenge this extremely difficult route. But now it seems that the two of us have done quite well."

"Tony and Nicole, I believe you two will be able to successfully complete this challenge. The reason why the four of Jeff N'Zoth and the others were able to complete that feat has a lot to do with the $100 million reward .As for you two, you can take the initiative to challenge this route without any material stimulation, I think you two are much better than that Jeff."

"Haha, Albert, thank you for your compliment." Tony laughed boldly.

"I'm not complimenting you, I'm just telling you a fact, let me tell you, when I saw Jeff and the four of them in Alert last year, they were in a mess, and they insisted on following me The ship went back to the North American continent, but I didn't agree, because we were going to Siberia from Alert at that time."

"Wow? It's amazing that you went to Alert, and you went to Siberia?" Nicole was very curious.

"That's right, last year I rented a polar scientific research ship with my fiancée and went around the Arctic Ocean." Since the conversation was very speculative, Yang Jing didn't mind sharing the journey to the North Pole last year. Tell me about these two.Sure enough, the trip to the North Pole stunned the couple.

"Albert, I really envy you for making such a big circle around the North Pole."

"Haha, Tony, it's nothing to go to the North Pole. I plan to go to the South Pole at the end of this year. How about it, are you two interested in going together? If you are interested, I can save two tickets for you two .”

Yang Jing still feels very good about the couple he met by chance.
