Chapter 464: Gap

"Master, you have to buy a mountain bike, there are many places in that park that you can't drive into, it's a bit far to walk, it's a waste of time to wait for the bus, and you'll miss a lot of beautiful scenery, so the bicycle is the best choice."

Zhang Tao nodded after hearing this, fortunately he had enough money with him. Otherwise, according to the arrangement of these two girls, it is estimated that they will be killed halfway, which costs a lot of money to buy things.

Tents, backpacks, some mosquito repellent medicines, as well as trekking poles, and food after going up the mountain, I bought a big bag piecemeal, which looks not light. But for Zhang Tao himself, this weight is nothing.

"Master, do you pay cash for everything?" When it was time to pay the bill, not only the cashier girl was frightened, but even Tracey was also shocked, and asked Zhang Tao curiously, not quite understanding Zhang Tao's approach.

"Uh, I just came here, and I haven't done that yet." Zhang Tao smiled bitterly after hearing this, he didn't have a card, Li Xiaoling prepared a card for him. It's just that he is used to using cash in China, and he hasn't changed it for a while.

"It's better to use a card, it's not safe to use cash here. It's easy to attract attention, but it's also easy to steal. After leaving the store, seeing that there was no one around, Tracey whispered to Zhang Tao and asked him to pay attention.

"Well, I remembered, I'll get a card when I go back." Fortunately, I opened up the money, and if I took out all the stacks, it would be tens of thousands of dollars. I guess this girl will be even more surprised, the man with so much cash with her.

"You're so fast, they should be there right away!" When the two of them got their groceries back to the car, their classmates hadn't arrived yet, and Sarah was leaning in the driver's seat listening to music.

Tracey tugged at her mouth, can you not be fast? You don't need to refer to what you want to buy, Zhang Tao can determine what you need, and you can pay for it quickly, so you must be able to buy things quickly.

"Master, did you often go camping before? How do you feel so familiar with what you need for camping? ”

"It's okay, I like nature and outdoor sports, and when I was traveling in the island country, I was often outdoors for a while." Zhang Tao smiled and replied, he has always liked the outdoors in two lives.

At this moment, several cars drove towards them, honked their horns and pulled to the side. Soon six or seven young men and women got out of the car and walked towards Zhang Tao and them with a smile.

"Hi Sarah, Tris, long time no see!" An unusually plump young woman happily pounced on Sarah and Trisy who had gotten out of the car, with a particularly enthusiastic expression, and a certain part of the car was also particularly turbulent.

"Hi Natasha, long time no see!" Sarah hugged the woman and introduced Zhang Tao to her. "This is my master and Trissy, Tao from the East? Zhang, a kung fu master! ”

"Hello!" Zhang Tao was still a little unaccustomed to the two Tracey sisters saying that they were kung fu masters, and smiled a little stiffly and said hello to Natasha.

The name Natasha seems to have heard it in a certain movie, but after so many years of that movie, Zhang Tao doesn't remember it much, and he always feels that it doesn't look like the name here.

But this girl's figure is really a bit exaggerated, with choppy waves, especially when she walks around, and she has perfect curves. Such a girl is actually enlarged, which shows that this girl not only has a big breast, but also a large brain capacity.

Natasha also seemed to be a little curious about this sudden Oriental face, and looked at Zhang Tao curiously, not understanding how Sarah and Tracy met an Oriental during the summer vacation, and they seemed to know each other very well.

After saying hello to Natasha, Zhang Tao was introduced to others by the two sisters. The attitude of the others was not so enthusiastic, and a faint greeting to each other was considered acquaintance.

Zhang Tao was very curious that there was an island man in this group of people, and he was still a man. However, this guy doesn't seem to be very pleasing to the eye when he looks at Zhang Tao, and there is a trace of arrogance and contempt in his expression.

"This is an activity in a karate club in our school, these people are all learning karate together, Fujiwara is our senior, his kung fu is much better than ours, but his personality is a little cold."

After returning to their respective cars, Tracy saw the cold arrogance of the island man just now, and explained to Zhang Tao the identity of the island man and his character.

Zhang Tao smiled, and his personality was cold or not. But at this time, he also understood why the guy was unhappy with him, and felt that he was an unexpected visitor. It's just that I don't know if I interrupted some of his thoughts, so Zhang Tao didn't know.

If you really want to fight, just that guy's skills, it's really not enough for Zhang Tao to fight. With a role like his, Zhang Tao can deal with ten alone! Zhang Tao didn't say these words to the two sisters, but just laughed, indicating that he knew.

Once the two parties meet, head straight to Yosemite National Park. As soon as she entered the valley, she saw two cliffs at the intersection of the CA-120, CA-49 and CA-41 roads, which Tracy introduced to Zhang Tao on the side.

There were also two lookouts on top of the cliff, which were supposed to be the best vantage points to see the valley, but they didn't mean to go up to see them all the way, and kept heading ahead.

Entering along the road, the U-shaped valley is overgrown with world lords, and the half-moon hill in the distance immediately catches your eyelids. The view here is relatively wide in the valley, and you can see the scene in the distance.

The sun shines on the granite cliffs of Half Moon Hill, highlighting its steepness and power, which is very spectacular. After Zhang Tao watched this scene, he immediately took out the camera he brought and quickly took pictures of the scenery outside.

"This is the gate of Yosemite National Park, and it is also one of the characteristics of this park," Sarah, who was driving, slowed down the car in order to cooperate with Zhang Tao, while Triss explained to Zhang Tao on the side.

Not long after walking on, I heard the rumbling sound of water, and on the right hand side appeared Bridalveil Fall, which was small and hazy like a bridal veil hanging in the air.

Zhang Tao has learned about this waterfall, during the ice age, the main valley of Yosemite contained more ice, and the valley was also cut deeper, forming the lower part of the waterfall. The tributaries flowing into the main valley contain less ice and the valley is also shallower.

After the end of the Ice Age, these tributaries converge like one hanging valley after another to the lower part of the main valley, and when the river flows to the end of these hanging valleys and is ready to join the main valley, it rushes out one waterfall after another.

Bridal Veil Falls is one of the many waterfalls that flow out of the overhanging valley and is the first one to see along the way, but it's an interesting place to look at.

Some of the characteristic things in the famous scenic spots in China will carry some myths and legends, even if there is no one, we must find a way to make it up. And here, none of that. If you really want to compare the depth of culture, this country is far less than the domestic one.

We have a lot of advantages that are incomparable here, but unfortunately there are always some people who can't see them. They always feel that the moon in a foreign country is the farthest, and they always face the place where they were born with the most mean attitude, and the thoughts of such people are too strange.

The car stopped after walking forward for a while, and Zhang Tao and their car were at the back, because they took care of Zhang Tao constantly taking pictures along the way, so the speed was very slow.

"The front is the parking place, and the rest of the way we pedal bicycles, and there are no cars over there, so we rest on the top of a hill at night." Sarah knew all about this, and they had the route in mind when they planned the event.

After Zhang Tao got out of the car, he looked up and looked around, and then looked at the time. It was still early, but if they were to follow the route Sarah had told, they would have to hurry, or they wouldn't be able to reach their destination until dark.

Sarah's classmates seem to have been here, and they are all preparing their luggage and bicycles at this time. Seeing this, Zhang Tao also immediately helped the two sisters take the things off the car, and then quickly equipped.

"See you at the top of the mountain!" As some of the fast ones were ready, they had already said hello to all of them and started riding towards their destination, including the choppy Natasha.

Zhang Tao and they came late, so they set off late. The Sarah sisters were also worried that Zhang Tao would not be able to bear this kind of exercise, so they looked back at Zhang Tao from time to time.

"You go first, I'll catch up with you soon." Zhang Tao looked at the two sisters and waved his hand with a smile and said, let them go first, and after looking at the map, he knew where the destination was, so he didn't need them to take care of it.

The next part of the road is the Butterfly Forest, which was originally intended to protect a large area of redwoods.

Before the park was established, the redwood forests were cut down en masse, but the Butterfly Forest was miraculously spared because the trees here would break into many pieces when they fell, making the wood have no economic value, and over time, people stopped coming here to cut down trees.

Zhang Tao pedaled his bicycle all the way through here, and he could still see the old trees that were cut down in the early days and fell down and broken into many sections, and some of them remained on the side of the road or stream.

In the early days, in order to attract tourists, people also dug holes in the trunks of these large trees to allow horse-drawn carriages to pass through the living trees, but unfortunately the tree has fallen and only a little remnants can be seen.

Although the redwood tree grows tall and thick, its root system is actually very shallow. The constant approach of the trunk of the tree will press the soil near the roots, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients by the roots, not to mention the carriage running back and forth from it!
