From the California Bay Area to 12 of the Self-driving Tour of the Snow Single Bike

[Car News Network report] January 2020, I went to New York from Beijing, and clockwise around the United States to turn a large half, passing through 28 states, driving 14,000 kilometers. Although just take the horse, the impression in the mind is a one-word right side, and it is quite a lot. The lasting travel is a good news of the road to the California No. 1. The records recorded in this article are in the California Bay Area, and the experience of the snow in the Tonggui.

The upper epoch said that after Monterer, continue along the California No. 1 highway to drive to San Francisco. After driving 112 kilometers, pass the pigeon corner lighthouse. It is said that it is one of the highest lighthouse in the United States, built in 1871 and is still in use.

The lighthouse is free to open, and there are many introductions in the house. There is also a very beautiful lawn, garden and viewing deck around. When I was there, there were several people just stopped and immediately moved out of the stove and sat on the lawn.

From the pigeon lighthouse along the coastline, continue to the north, enter the scope of the San Francisco peninsula, the northernmost part of this peninsula is a famous Golden Gate Bridge. However, I left the pigeon lighthouse soon, I turned right to the east and went to San Jose. As will be appreciated from the following figure, San Francisco is located in the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula. Its bottom is a bay. This large piece, collectively referred to, is divided into 9 counties, 101 towns. Among them, Okland with San Francisco is covered with San Francisco, belongs to Dongwan; the bottom of San Jose, which belongs to the core of South Bay, Silicon Valley, in South Bay mdash; mdash; San Jose and Paroo.

That is, the silicon valley is famous, but not the place name, but includes a few places such as Paro, San Jose. The reason why it is called ldquo; Valley RDQUO; because it has a mountain in both sides, the middle is a spacious valley. So, I left the coast to go to the mountain.

This mountain is very easy, and it has passed for a while. From the pigeon lighthouse, driving 50 kilometers, come to LDQUO; Silicon Valley RDQUO; the edge of this beltBelong to Paroo.

When you get from the mountain, when entering the valley, there are several intersections, MDash; mdash; US and Europe, where the traffic is not large, often through ldquo; stop RDQUO; Right to divide the right to ensure order. There is also an intersection, both sides have ldquo; stop RDQUO; cards, rules are the first, then you can go first, consciously.

In the French travel last year, I talked about this sign. One reader asked if I didn’t have a car on both sides. The front car stopped. Can I follow? Of course not. Everyone has to comply with the law, and the front car is observed, and you certainly have to follow. Can’t be self-proposed because there is no car, you will omit the parking. After all, I only abide by the law, there is no right to change the law.

For example, when I drove to this intersection, there are two cars, the first parking, starting away. The second vehicle moved forward and came to the intersection, parking, staying for a few seconds. Then I am going to me and do this. The whole process, there is no travelers, but you must also consciously abide by the law.

Enter ldquo; Silicon Valley RDQUO; after the scope, I quickly discovered, with the imaginary ldquo; Silicon Valley RDQUO;

It is really like a resort. I drive through a piece of neighborhood, the street is very tidy, very quiet, two is a dense grove, the seat is very beautiful house, which is hidden in the trees.

The formation of Silicon Valley, which has a direct relationship with the Stanford University of this. This school has been more than 130 years of history, which is said to be the largest in the United States. I have passed from the school, I didn’t feel any distinctions with other neighborhoods.

At the north side of the school, it was the gate of Paloato, the garage next to the house on the street is the origin of Silicon Valley. In 1938, Fre, Stanford UniversityProfess Profess Profess by Germany, helped two students in this garage, which was born in HP. Later, this professor became the vice president, he used the school’s land and opened high-tech industrial parks, known as ldquo; Qi’s father rdquo;

Whether it is early fairy boy, or later Intel, AMD, and now the world of Google, Apple, a batch talent, imaginative and creative people Co-cast the kingdom of the electronics industry and computer industry.

From ldquo; HP garage RDQUO; 10 km from Southeast, is Microsoft. There is also a computer historic museum next to it.

With Microsoft is less than 2 kilometers, it is Google. Founded in 1998, Google’s search engine is very easy. After 2010, I spent a long time, I slowly adapt to Baidu.

Google Maps and Google Earth are often used. In this series of travel, I have said that every time I travel, I completely rely on Google Maps, this is the same. And Google Earth, I am a must, see a monument every time.

From Microsoft to Dong, go to San Jose, through Intel.

Intel to South, is Apple. This company was built in 1975, who has rushed in the 1980s with the 1990s, and later, with the introduction of iPod, ipad and iPhone, it will live back.

Apple’s building is new, just like the Tower of Fujian in my country, the scale is huge. But visitors can see, just the experience store opposite the building.

However, there are so many famous companies, you can go from Paro Ota to San Jose, walk more than 30 kilometers, all the way, basically this single-family residential. Even the Apple headquarters is opposite, all the way, is also the same. I think, if the owner in the house is going to work in Apple, it is too happy, crossing the road.

In my mind, the high-tech park must be a high-rise building. The street is broad, but there may be some trees, but there are not too many, more is the lawn garden. As for the housing, it should also be outside the km, and it is also a high building. Therefore, after seeing the environment of Silicon Valley, it feels some accidents.

The Silicon Valley is coming mainly for coming to the friends. In the past few years, when I was responsible for the demolition of the car square, I have envisioned that China and the United States will dismantle the same car at the same time, and see if the legendary difference is true. This friend is enthusiastic to help me, but unfortunately, because of my original reason, I have been deeply guilty. On the way, I still want to see a matter of meeting. Unfortunately, they have been separated for many years. After meeting, they will endure, from the past to the current situation, from the adventure to the camping, chat, actually forget the apology.

On the 22nd, early morning, left San Jose, go to San Francisco outside 70 kilometers.

San Francisco is a very bustling city, my country’s overseas Chinese usually call it to San Francisco. There are more Chinese, accounting for 21.4 percentage.

The city center has a large place, called the United Square. This name reminds me of the charter signed in this city when the United Nations is established in 1945. my country has become a permanent member of the Security Council with the United States, the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union.

San Francisco is like Chongqing, is a mountain city, there is water mdash; mdash; Chongqing is the Yangtze River and Jialing River, San Francisco is the Pacific and San Francisco Bay. But the mountains in San Francisco are not high, plus two on both sides, although there are often ramps on the street, but the slope is not very steep.

There is such a saying on the Internet. Being a wheel after parking, letting the front circle. It can be seen along the way, I only see this scene in San Francisco, obviously in order to prevent slipping. The rest of the city, in the range I have seen, don’t need to make a wheel.

It is said that there are 30 degrees of slopes in San Francisco, I didn’t see it. If I was 30 degrees, I mean 57%, it seems unlikely. Most of the car climbing capacity is 30 percent, about 16.7 degrees. Among them, more famous Jiuqua Street, the slope said in the introduction is 27 percent, about 15 degrees.

I am more interested in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. Because, the 14th 007 “Thunder murder”, Bond’s picture with opponents on this bridge and memories.

San Francisco City is located in the northernmost end of the San Francisco Peninsula. It came here to the junction of the Pacific and San Francisco Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge is in the boundary line. A urban area is integrated with opposite North Bays.

With the basic level of the bridge, there is a parking lot below the surface of the surface. The latter can see a military castle in the past.

In addition to the castle, there is a lighthouse. It is said that there are more than 40 light towers in the coast of California. I started from San Diego. I saw more than 1,000 kilometers.

Subsequently, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, I bid farewell to the Pacific Ocean, step on the road to the east.

I originally intended that along the coastline continued to go north to Seattle, then along the longest state road Mdash; Mdash; No. 90, Tanteli Highway, thus a week. However, the weather forecast will continue to snow in the next few days, I have to change the plan. At this point, I am 4,700 kilometers from New York, take off from the flight of my home.And 8 days. According to routine calculations, driving 3.5 days, such as in Salt Lake City, Omaha, Chicago, Detroit, Niagara, etc. Rely on it.

The road to the East, the whole process is the No. 8th State Highway, which is the second year of the United States. After driving 150 kilometers, it will pass the Sacramento, here is the capital of California. The capital of many US states is not the big city of this state. For example, the capital of New York is not New York, California’s capital is not Los Angeles. It is said that this approach is related to them from the beginning of the founding, and the brain juice is restricted.

Recently, the road entered the inner Wada Mountains, which is more than 600 kilometers north and south, and the highest peak is 4418 meters. This paragraph, the mountain is not much higher, give me the feeling, I have turned a few bends, I have passed. Of course, it may go to Sichuan with me many times, Yunnan is related to Tibet, where the mountains, seats are the west, and it is not vague.

Cross the mountain range, in a place called Rino, enter Nevada. At this time, the terrain is flat and the road speed limit is rose to 80 miles, about 129 kilometers, and it is too cool to be a bit in the range of laws.

After a few hours, when parking, there was a sun. What I didn’t expect is that this is a journey of the United States, and finally see the sunset last time.

In the next week, although there is a short blue sky, but more, all black clouds are close, snow fluttering.

On the 23rd day, last night, in a city called Elco, this morning, it will continue to go to the road.

When I arrived at Salt Lake City, I left the intercontinental road and went to Beibei. Because, in the north bank of the salt lake, there is a railway commemoration.

After walking on this road for an hour, a car did not encounter, of course, there would be no more people. When I arrived, I occasionally some buildings, one of them, in front of the rocket, there is NASA tag (NASA).

With a hundred kilometers, just to see it mdash; mdash; Pacific Railway. In fact, the basis of the No. 80 is basically constructed along this railway. But if you want to see the convergence of the east section and the west section, you can only come here.

In the past few years, my country took a documentary “Golden Trick”, which is the story of my country’s labor in the United States. The film left a deep impression on me, so I have to come here, look at it. The discunnation of the railway is actually a wilderness, called Promontory Summit, and then built a memorial, with a ticket 10 dollars.

This railway runs through the United States, starting construction in 1863, contracting mdash; mdash; east section is the joint Pacific Company, starting from Omaha; West The section is the central Pacific company, from Sacrame. Due to the western section to cross the inner Wada Mountains, the engineering is more difficult, and the workers who come from Europe have been extremely slow. The company has begun to hire Hua Industry. In the next four years, Chinese workers have become the main force and completed the task in 1869.

When two railways in the east, in this wilderness, people held a very interesting ceremony MDash; mdash; symbolically The golden staple is inserted, and then taken out, take away as a commemoration.

Today, this historic place is preserved according to it. After all, before this railway, from the East Coast to the West Coast, more than 4,500 kilometers, it takes to take 6 months. It takes only 7 days after the railway is open.

During the repair of the railway, the reason for tens of thousands of Chinese workers were the reason for the reasons. At that time, my country has signed the “Sino-US Tianjin Treaty Renewal Treaty”, which establishes two countries in the form of Western international law, including Free immigrant, this is the first peer Treaty in the history of my country, also called “Pu’an Treaty” mdash; mdash; Puanchen is originally a US stationer station, in 1866, in 1867, the end is going to return to China, my country’s government appointed He is the first full power of China, and the delegation makes Europe and the United States. As a result, only the United States signed a contract; British and Prussia have released a statement conducive to China; France has strong opposition to power, and there is no wish; Russia avoids it, and Paganchen suddenly died there.

After reading this very remote, but very meaningful commemorative land, travel to the Salt Lake City. Soon, after Ogden, I learned from the map, there is a railway museum, so I will go to the city.

In the hall, the steam locomotive driving on the Pacific Railway is saved. From the shape, it is indeed a big guy, the body is really long, the wheel is more than before. a bit more.

After the steam locomotive, it is an internal combustion control. These two seem to be exhibited in the Mochi Railway Museum in Baltimore.

This belt is often snowing, leaning on the snow, it is very interesting.

Ogden is a very beautiful city with many old buildings.

I wandered around the street and suddenly saw a KFC. On this way, the snack is almost all in McDonald’s and the game. It is not much more common in our country.

Then I put a point, $ 7.86. It’s really general. I am very casual, I have almost a person who doesn’t consider food in daily life, I feel some regret.

Leaving Ogden, soon, returned to the No. 80-West Highway. I got about 100 kilometers, just entered Wyoming, the sign on the road appeared in the words I was most reluctant to see: the road closed.

Helpless, I had to leave the high speed, next to the small town, called Evanston. Looking far away, there are several motels.

These home, holiday is naturally most comfortable, can be $ 120 in a house, it is too expensive.

There is not much LDQUO; speed 8rdquo; room rate 51.83 dollars, with breakfast. In fact, this brand was started in 1974, the room rate was only $ 8.88.

The room area is very large, the facilities are also very complete, especially satisfactory, is the heating effect, and you can change the short sleeve.

At this time, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, there is nothing to do, seeing nearby Wal-Mart, so I will go to the mall.

The US Wal-Mart is large, and the type is also very rich. For example, the outdoor product area, the content is probably more than Beijing special outdoor store.

In the hardware tool area, I see me very eye. Of course, the firearms area next to the side is even more gotting.

There is nothing special in the fresh area. In fact, this road will run to Wal-Mart every 2 days. Regardless of the big city or small cities, Wal-Mart can find everywhere, and the layout is basically the same.

Unlike our supermarket, there are a large number of semi-finished products and cooked products in their supermarkets. For those who don’t love cooking, it is quite good.

[123

Visited, suddenly remembered that there were people on the Internet, and the baby supplies and alcohol were put together in the US supermarket. So, I didn’t see the wine in the baby supplies.

It turns out that alcohol is completed in this house in a single room, purchasing and checkout. Many countries are strictly managed in wine, such as Japan, must confirm the age of buyers, while Thai selling wine is fixed. American has even banned alcohol in history.

I bought a Mdash; MDSH; 6 cans, back to the hotel. When leaving Sheng Jee, the friend passionately prepared a lot of food for me, including the packet of peanuts, so good, just wine.

On the 24th day, go out in the morning, dumbfounded, big snow as scheduled.

Looking at Google Maps, the road was actually opened. So, hurry up.

It didn’t take long for it to enter the mountain. This belt should be the Yulin Mountains in the Rocky Mountains, and the speed limit on the road is reduced to 72 kilometers.

I took 160 kilometers and saw the sign of the road closed again.

Close the road in the road, is a city called Rockz Prince. At this time, the snow is very large, but also a lot of wind, outside the car, can be described as a cold bones.

This is the morning, check the map, see the church and museum in the city, so I have visited a circle one by one.

The museum is free, showing the history of this area, as well as the local life.

This photo of this local school teacher, I don’t know which year of Mdash; Mdash; Kodak is 1888Making a film today is still using film, and synchronously introducing a camera using a film. Colored film appeared in the 1930s. I bought a book, a aid of a helper in the Anti-Japanese War, and he came to China with many colored film and took a lot of photos.

This is a 1942 radio. It is estimated that the tube is the tube because the transistor is in the late Second World War II, and the fairy tong semiconductor company was born in the 1950s.

The brand next to the TV introduces that local residents have started from 1950, and they have purchased a TV. Because it is just a small city, only 2 areas can only be received.

This refrigerator does not know which year. If you don’t make a mistake, your home refrigerator is in 1925.

There is also a reading room in the museum. The text looks at the power, and I found a few pictorials. Suddenly found that this county actually happened to the Chinese massacre. The cause is related to the Pacific Railway that is said yesterday. At that time, there were more and more people from my country to the United States. Even if the salary is low, people don’t care, they don’t care, they are dry, and the efficiency is very high. It is nothing to eat. It is often a group of people to share a house. As a result, the white workers believe that they have been threatened and the work is taken away. There is a mine near this nearby, and the white miners began to riolit, killing at least 18 Chinese compatriots, and hurting many people mdash; mdash; this is called Shiquan City massacre.

On the 25th day, after reading the museum yesterday, I still found a car hotel overnight. Today, I’m going out, actually is sunny. The smile, hurry up, ready to go out.

From traffic information, the highway is still closed, and the opening time is unknown.

So, studied the map, attempting to find another road, bypass. Because, it has been wasted for 2 days, and I have only 8 days.I can’t wait for a loss. After some search, I really found a way, but I was not sure, I can only try it.

The beginning of the beginning, it is very good. Surroundings are the mountains. In fact, in this belt, there is Yellowstone Park, Arches Park, Grand Canyon, and so on. It can be not suitable for winter, let’s talk about it next time.

Walking, suddenly snowing on the road in front, and there is a last slope, this terrain will definitely not go, hurry to brake, wait for the car to stop, Trapped. Check it out, the only way is to dig the snow, all the snow behind the chassis and wheels, the only tool on the car is a plastic piece that clears the windshield snow, leaning on it, and finally saved the car. The following picture is to take the car after being saved. In the face of trap, I am not afraid, because in the northwest area of ​​Tibet, I have been trap many times, I have already fully tempered.

The bypass is unlike, there is only to return to the No. 80 State Highway. Fortunately, at this time, the instead of the interior road is also open, listening to the police, is just open, I will enter. So, the rapid increase in the summer.
