Section 918 The scenery is the same, and the beauty is still the same
readx;
Coming out of the hotel, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu officially started a half-day tour of Utah. www.biquge.info Since Yunluo wanted to take pictures of the night view of the church in the evening, the Mormon headquarters was put on the last visit, and the home of the Utah Jazz became the first stop. In fact, most NBA stadiums are not very beautiful, but the Utah Jazz are different.
This team has carried too much history and honor, and also cultivated one of the greatest pairs in basketball history - the bronze statue of Karl Malone and John Stockton is placed at the entrance of the court, under the bronze statue is a Tai Chi Bagua map, the two bronze statues are built on the yin and yang eyes, very cleverly designed.
Yunluo took pictures of this group of bronze statues from different angles, and also took photos with this group of bronze statues, which can be regarded as a tribute to the two legends.
After leaving the arena, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu began to look for the Mormon headquarters, but before finding the headquarters, they thought they had found the Utah State Capitol. Yunluo had never heard of this Capitol building being so grand, but after coming here, he thought it was even more spectacular than the federal Capitol in Washington.
Later, the more Yunluo looked at it, the more familiar he felt about this building, and when he saw the text "stateofutah" (Utah) on the stone wall in front of him, he suddenly thought that Yunluo had seen the picture here in the CCTV documentary "Currency".
"Currency" introduces the story of a small town in Utah issuing its own currency, and talks about the fact that the Utah State Assembly passed a proposal to issue currency, and there is a shot of this Capitol. Since it's here, the clouds are going to take crazy pictures, and the clouds in the sky today are also more powerful, with the light of the sunset, the effect is not bad.
The entire building is surrounded by a large lawn, and there are occasional citizens who come for a walk on the lawn. It happened that there was a bride taking wedding photos here, which added a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.
Standing on the highest steps of the Houses of Parliament, Yunluo overlooks the entire city, a peaceful and peaceful place. There is no noise of car horns. There is no hustle and bustle of people coming and going, and the whole city is calmly waiting for the sun to set and the night to come.
This unexpected attraction excites Yunluo, but the finale of the Mormon headquarters is the place that Yunluo looks forward to the most. The Mormon church is very atmospheric, and its sanctity is accentuated by the setting sun. Yun Luo and Yan Shenyu had already entered the courtyard of the church, and within the walls of the church courtyard, there were two enthusiastic student volunteers who spoke Chinese and were willing to explain to Yun Luo and Yan Shenyu.
Both girls are devout Mormons and have taken a gap year off to teach visitors about Mormonism and the history of the buildings at Mormon headquarters. They are all Chinese-Americans. He didn't speak Chinese fluently, but he still tried his best to explain Mormonism and its revered teachings to Yunluo and Yan Shenyu.
After listening to their introduction, Yunluo really feels that sometimes it is a very happy thing to have a faith, and valuable faith will make people feel kind, and they will also become self-restrained, strong and upright. One of the Mormon tenets that Yunluo admires the most is that they value family harmony and believe that a happy family is the source of goodness.
Their beliefs of charity, sincerity, chastity, law-abiding, and atonement are also accepted and promoted by society. Over the years since I came to the United States, I have met many Christians, and the friendliness they exude from the bottom of my heart is particularly impressive.
The two Mormon volunteers did not deliberately pull Yunluo and Yan Shenyu into the church, but calmly and gratefully told their understanding of these doctrines. The sincerity they reveal is really touching.
After listening to their explanations, night gradually fell. The headquarters church is also lit up in white. The whole building is illuminated in white and becomes more solemn. Yunluo took out a tripod to take pictures of this sacred church, and sincerely appreciated and admired the contribution of this church to the peace of human society.
After filming the Mormon headquarters, Yunluo took advantage of the night to go back and take a few night shots of the state capitol, and it was already close to ten o'clock after the shooting. In the past half a day, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu not only took a lot of satisfactory photos, but also let their souls be washed to a certain extent, which can be said to be worthwhile.
Yunluo really likes Salt Lake City. Say goodbye to Salt Lake City in the morning.
Salt Lake City was a sign that halfway through the journey, and the circle that clouds had drawn on the map had already completed the arc below. The next two national parks are so famous that many people haven't heard of the arches. I've never heard of Sien, let alone Bryce Canyon. But no one hasn't heard of Yellowstone.
If you come to Yellowstone, you'll definitely come to Grand Teton, two national parks just thirty miles away. Grand Teton, south of Yellowstone, is the first national park north from Salt Lake City.
A lot of people come straight to Yellowstone and stop by for a day at Grand Teton. In the homework he did before he came, Yunluo saw countless travelogues reminding Yunluo not to underestimate the beauty of Grand Teton.
After seeing so many photos of Grand Teton, Yunluo was even more convinced that this statement should be correct. So Yunluo arranged a two-day and two-night trip specifically for Grand Teton, and both nights were camping. The excitement of the first camping experience should be an unforgettable one.
By the time we arrived at the small town of Jackson at the foot of Grand Teton, it was already afternoon, and it was crowded and lively, with visitors from all over the world using the town as a resupply base for the two national parks. There is a constant stream of people here at all times. Since there was nothing missing in the car at the moment, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu rushed directly to Grand Teton without stopping at Jackson.
The sun sets late here, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon it is still shining. As the Teton Mountains are located on the western side of the park, the sun, which has set in the west, gradually makes Teton a silhouette.
But even so, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can still feel the magnificence of this mountain range, and the lakes and rivers at the foot of the mountain add to the scene, and it is hard to imagine how enticing it will shine in the morning when the sun shines in the east.
Since Grand Teton is the most beautiful in the morning, and Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's campsite does not accept reservations, it can only be on a first-come, first-served basis, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are ready to go directly to the camp to go through the check-in procedures first.
Grand Teton National Park is home to a number of campsites scattered throughout the park. According to everyone's evaluation, Yunluo chose one of the largest and most well-equipped camps, ColterbayVillage. This camp is located in the northernmost part of Grand Teton, right next to Jackson Lake.
When Yunluo and Yan Shenyu arrived at the entrance, an old man in his sixties went through the formalities for Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, and arranged Yunluo and Yan Shenyu in the innermost part of the camp by the lake. A two- or three-minute hike is all it takes to enjoy the scenery of Lake Jackson.
He also reminded Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to be prepared against bears, and each camp was equipped with a large iron box, and all food should be locked in the box at night, even if the water could not be placed in the tent.
Hearing him tell Yunluo about these precautions so seriously, Yunluo showed a little scared expression. The old man smiled and said to Yunluo, don't worry. More than 1,000 people camp here every night.
The design of the camping area is very standardized, with a main road at the bottom of the passage and many one-way ring roads sticking out next to it, and everyone camps along the path according to the number on the side of the road. A lot of motorhomes are starting to show off their features here, too, and each one is parked on the side of the road like a Transformer.
Each camp has a small stove with a fixed wooden table and a bear-proof box next to the fire. Yunluo was quite excited when he came to his camp, and quickly took out the tents and folding chairs that had been sleeping in the back of the car for a week, and found a flat place to settle down.
Since the temperature at Grand Teton at night was close to 30 degrees Celsius during the day, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also brought a lot of cotton jackets and quilts and stuffed them into the tents. After laying out the tent, it became very comfortable. Yunluo kept taking pictures around this small camp, and the freshness made Yunluo look like a child.
After cleaning up the camp briefly, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu were about to think about today's dinner. I heard that each camping area is equipped with complete facilities, convenience stores, showers, post offices, and gas stations, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu planned to go to this service center to have a look.
The service center is just around the corner from the entrance to the camping area, with showers and laundry connected to a convenience store and gift shop, and a restaurant and visitor center a little further away.
Yunluo can be regarded as enjoying the advanced camping facilities in the national park, although the shops are not large, but the things are very complete. Even shampoo and shower gel are available in the bathroom, and Wi-Fi is available in the laundry room. It's no wonder that Americans like to drive their RVs and often go camping in the wilderness. Such favorable conditions can indeed attract many tourists.
In the evening, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu want to barbecue. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu bought a piece of fresh beef ribeye meat, a pack of fresh vegetable salad from the convenience store, found a thick barbecue board from the gift store, bought a pile of firewood and charcoal, and finally took a few free newspapers to prepare for the fire, so they simply bought all the ingredients for cooking at night.
Yunluo is full of anticipation for the field kitchen that will be built, and I believe it will be a very interesting experience.
In fact, Yunluo feels that successfully lighting a fire is half the success of barbecue. In the past, when I was barbecuing meat with my classmates, I spent a lot of time to start the fire. All kinds of newspapers and dyes had to be used to ignite the carbon.
This time, for Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, two barbecue beginners with basically zero experience, making a fire did bring trouble again. Firewood can't be lit directly with a lighter, and even if you pile up some newspaper balls, it's hard to get the firewood to stick to the sparks. The newspapers were gone, and the sticks and charcoal were still untouched, lying quietly in the stove.
Listen to the gurgling sound in your belly. Looking at the bloody raw meat, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu looked forward to it.
Yunluo could only ask for help from the Yankees in the camp next to him. Several old men and ladies were chatting around the boiler roasting marshmallows, and when they saw Yunluo coming over, they greeted Yunluo warmly. After Yunluo explained the situation to them, two of them stood up with a smile and wanted to come over to help Yunluo himself.
Seeing the few wooden sticks in Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's stove, they laughed and said that they would never be able to light it like this. So they took Yunluo to the grove behind them, and plucked down many dry dead branches, and picked up many small forks from the ground with yellow needles, and came to the stove.
They put all the dead branches and branches, along with some newspaper balls and carbon blocks, in the innermost part, and put the firewood on the outermost layer in the shape of a hill, so as to ignite the newspaper balls inside.
The newspaper ball instantly ignited the yellow needles, and the high flames that quickly ignited immediately ignited the dead branches, and after dozens of seconds, the firewood also slowly ignited the body, and finally the carbon block slowly burned and turned red. The fire was very strong, and the two uncles laughed with satisfaction when they saw Yunluo and Yan Shenyu happy, revealing the pride of the master's apprentice.
The first lesson of wild barbecue Yunluo and Yan Shenyu was officially mastered, and the flames that rose up were enough for Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to finish this dinner. After the fire gradually stabilized, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu put it on the iron rack fixed next to the stove, put the barbecue board that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu had just bought, and grilled the tender and juicy steak.
Ribeye meat has always been Yunluo's favorite, every time I go to the steakhouse, I will order it, this time I made it myself, and I felt surprisingly fragrant when I smelled it.
The steak method is still more particular, you must first bake the plate until it is very hot and then put in the steak, and put down the steak do not turn back and forth, wait for the bottom to be cooked and the blood gushes out and then turn it, and after a few minutes you can eat seven or eight minutes of fresh and tender ribeye. Cut steak with a refreshing salad, this dinner is really special and delicious.
Grand Teton gradually entered the night. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu cleaned up the mess of dinner, hid all the food, and began to enjoy this wild night. The temperature plummeted, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu put on thick cotton jackets, guarded the tent, roasted the embers, and looked up at the bright starry sky.
This is the most shocking sea of stars that Yunluo has ever seen, a Milky Way across the sky, and the stars in the sky are like diamonds scattered on the ground, hanging in the sky crystallinely. Finding a tripod, setting up a camera, and exposing it for twenty-five seconds, Yunluo captured this shocking picture. The darkness of the night is extremely quiet, and the purity of the original ecology makes every cell of Yunluo very comfortable.
Living in the city, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu rarely have the opportunity to leave the hustle and bustle of the traffic, admiring the brilliant starry sky has become a luxury, and lying in this lonely forest has also become a kind of enjoyment.
Good night, beautiful galaxy. Watching the sunrise at Grand Teton has always been a wish of Yunluo. Having seen too many praises for the Grand Teton sunrise, Yunluo couldn't wait to see her charm in person.
Last night was the first time in my life that I slept in the wilderness, and the temperature in the tent was close to zero degrees Celsius at night, even if I was wearing a cotton jacket and a quilt, I couldn't help but feel cold.
However, Yunluo felt that Yunluo slept quite well, although it was far less comfortable than sleeping on Simmons, but it basically allowed Yunluo to meet the basic requirements for rest. (To be continued.) )
