Drive into the Sonoran Desert on the U.S.-Mexico border......

Tang Hai should be regarded as a backpacker strictly speaking, he grew up in his hometown when he was a child, and when he was older, he began to backpack to find a job, ran a lot of places, and then backpacked abroad, and also ran to many places in the United States......

In the era when my parents lived, going a little farther often meant goodbye.

Fortunately, Tang Hai survived.

As a senior backpacker, Tang Hai dared to go with a bag on his back, and dared to go anywhere, in the past, he couldn't beat one-on-one except for Uncle Tiaozi and Uncle Super Strong Black, and he was not afraid of ordinary people, after all, he was a nobleman who killed Matt. Now I'm not afraid of anything.

Simple fishing is very boring, Tang Hai always likes to add some fun to fishing, see the scenery of various places, fishing not for profit, and so on.

Just like Rose, who used to be an Internet celebrity in fitness, she often wore some cute clothes and stuck out her tongue to practice yoga and take selfies......

There is a photo where the hair is not tied on one side, and the other is a ponytail on the side of the head, Xiao Tang pushed it at the time, and said Sister, your hairstyle is destined to make your life extraordinary......

High-powered off-road vehicles drive along the main roads of the Sonoran Desert, which are not as lifeless in the desert as one might think.

The desert in other places Tang Hai does not know, but the Sonoran Desert is different.

It is one of the four major deserts in North America, encompassing many states, including the United States and Mexico, and it is also the rainiest desert in the world, with rain in both winter and summer. Mexico's national flowers are known to be dahlias and cacti......

Once you enter this area, you will find a variety of huge cactus trees that grow densely!

This giant cactus grew straight for the first 75 years. When you reach the age of 75, you will stick branches from the side. How long is not certain, and experienced people can judge their age by looking at their looks. The trees are huge, more than a dozen meters tall and weigh several tons, and are planted by Malena at her home in the town of Bray. In Mexico, whether it is a yard, a school, or a roadside, you can see this kind of cactus tree casually.

Don't look at the lack of water here throughout the year, there are two rainy seasons but they don't grow, but this tree is not thirsty. The rainwater they absorb each rainy season can be used for seven or eight years. However, it is impossible for the geographical location to go without rain for seven or eight years......

In addition to all kinds of densely growing cacti, there are also some plants that Tang Hai can't name, these plants will grow quickly in the dry season, then quickly give birth to fruits, and then die directly, and when the rainy season comes, their children will quickly repeat the life trajectory of their parents......

Some lizards are crawling, there are many lizards on the seashore, most of them have the ability to go into the sea to fish, and the lizards in the desert are more peculiar. Most of them have a peculiar ability to retain water.

Xiao Tang's classmates were stopped after driving for a while, whether it was Lisa, who was usually shrewd, or Jennifer, who was strong, they were all women in nature. The woman Tang Hai rarely sees someone who doesn't like to take pictures, and every time she follows Tang Hai around, Jennifer can always take all kinds of photos......

"Birdie!" Lisa suddenly shouted.

This little bird is not referring to the baby golden eagle. It's real, tiny birds. made a hole in a giant immortal tree, and at this time he was looking at Xiao Tang and his party curiously......

As long as there is a giant cactus tree. All creatures can survive, a single cactus tree can make tons of water with a single slash, some bent thorns can be used to make fish hooks, many cactus trees have delicious meat that can be used to make pizza, Mexico's national tree, not just because it's beautiful! This represents an indomitable spirit and a great contribution to Mexicans!

Xiao Tang's travel is purposeful, this time the target is the Black Knight, this is a very famous place in Mexico, Lao Mo is the world's fifth largest salt producer, is the black warrior salt here...... However, Mexico's salt is not good, the United States is the first importer of salt in the Americas, but it only needs Chile's, not Mexico's.

The Black Warrior is also famous for its San Ignacio lagoon, which is one of the two most protected lagoons for gray whales......

Every winter and spring, gray whales will come back from the Arctic Ocean in large numbers, give birth in two lagoons, and then take their babies to the Arctic Ocean in summer and autumn, the round-trip distance is about more than 20,000 kilometers, which is also impossible, after all, only the north and south poles have the most abundant food......

Tang Hai had seen some gray whales when he was in the Arctic Ocean, and now although the season is wrong, it doesn't mean that he can't meet gray whales, and as a cetacean lover, he wants to see them.

I came to a small town.

It is uncertain whether this kind of town with the villages next to it adds up to 3,000 people, just like the Inukquat town in the Arctic Circle. But once the whale watching season arrives every year, this kind of town can have one or two thousand visitors a day, and three months can earn a year or two of expenses, and there is really a feeling that the cactus tree does not rain for seven or eight years, and can eat for seven or eight years when it rains.

Xiao Tang stopped the car, and the four of them and one dog found a household......

Asked for some water, the other party also put some homemade burritos, very enthusiastic, Tang Hai said that he wanted to give money to the other party waved his hand, saying that it hurt feelings.

But as soon as Tang Hai asked if he wanted to play here for a few days, whether he could stay or give money, the other party hesitated......

"I'm with a female companion and a pet, I'm not a bad person." Tang Hai pointed to the big dog and the two beautiful girls beside him, with these two beautiful sisters, Victoria's Secret Angel Brother didn't look at it.

As a result, the middle-aged man still shook his head.

Tang Hai just wanted to say something more, but Lisa pulled him aside.

"Boss, you live in Dalivia's villa yourself, and they will only let 'their own people' live at home."

Tang Hai suddenly realized......

asked about the location of the host's hotel, and Xiao Tang thanked him.

"Hey, you're here to fish, aren't you? There's fishing gear in that big bucket you're carrying, right? I also like fishing, I'll take you there in a moment! It is estimated that Tang Hai thinks that he is very easy to speak, and the man finally shouted.

Tang Hai turned his head and smiled: "I'll come to you in a while!" ”

"My name is Christopher!"

"My name is Tang Hai."

The hostess of the hotel is very beautiful, thirty or forty years old, and the charm is still there. There's hot water, there's air conditioning, and then there's nothing, there's no wifi, it's wired.

The man before took Tang Hai to a dock instead of a lagoon sanctuary......

"The bait for fishing is sold in the supermarket, all of them are frozen sardines and octopus heads, sardines are dehydrated and not easy to use, octopus heads are too, we use this ...... for our own fishing"

"Cockle meat!"

"Mr. Tang really knows the goods! It's all over here, so I'll pick up a little bit and use it to catch squid. ”

"Is it profitable to fish for squid?"

"5 pesos a kilogram, the purchase price is not good this year." The man shook his head.

The peso is the currency of the Spanish colonies, the Cuban peso, the Mexican peso, the Philippine peso, etc., in many places are abolished, but the old ink is okay.

It's about 1 US dollar and 17 old Mexican pesos, which is 30 cents a kilogram of purchase price, which is really ...... 1 yuan and 1 catty! It's Tang Hai Tang Hai also complains!

There used to be a wharf for salt pan shipments, but the new one was abandoned here, with three pillar-shaped stone piers in the sea, about 15 meters in diameter.

The man said that the water here is deep and fast, and there will be big fish.

This kind of thing is generally only known to locals, so no matter where Tang Hai goes, he will deal with the people there.

As soon as he found a place to sit down, Tang Hai was adjusting the line, and the main line was made of a super rope made of spider silk, which was fiercer than steel wire, and the tensile force was 300 pounds, and the sub-line was not ordinary......

The man over there is hanging a wooden shrimp, a homemade squid fishing tool, and a bit of fluorescent effect, the hook is sharp, and he is also a master of fishing.

"Gray whale! Chief! Gray whale! ”

A chubby, looking at a gray whale about ten meters away......

"Didn't this cute big guy go to the Arctic Ocean this year?" Tang Hai was also happy.

Gray whales used to be the main target of American fishermen, and when they saw humans, they went berserk and attacked, also known as manta rays, and were killed until they knew that only a few hundred remained.

Later, it was protected for more than a hundred years, and now there are tens of thousands, and the annual migration is very shocking, it is simply a thousand arrows, and now the gray whale is not afraid of people, and even likes humans quite a lot.

The gray whale looked at Jennifer, and it noticed that Jennifer was beckoning.

This thing is big enough to kill Jennifer in one fell swoop, but ......

"Baby! Come here! Let me touch you! Jennifer shouted excitedly, she was a whale fanatic......

"It's close!" Jennifer was thrilled.

"It's peeking on us!"

"It's coming!"

Jennifer touched it! Look at Tang Hai happily!

Two more, one large and one small, approached......

The big gray whale swam away slowly, and when he reached his wife and children, he gently pushed a baby gray whale, as if to encourage it or something......

Encourage children to come into contact with humans!

The little one is here too! Seems to love the way Jennifer touches it!

It suddenly pricked up and showed its head......

Jennifer bowed her head and kissed its upper lip!

Click!

Lisa pressed the shutter just in time!

……

[How many days off...... I will hand over the house tomorrow afternoon, and I will return to Nanning in the afternoon after everything is done...... Rest for a few hours and set off to go back to grandpa's hometown, then grandpa's, and finally go deep into the mountains to go to grandpa's. Dare is the eldest blue child of the same generation in the family, and the task will be very heavy, and he may have to kill pigs and carry the burden up the mountain. It was on the mountain until the 5th, and there was no internet.
