Su Zhen drove a snowmobile, watching Carrick and Elena outside the car in the car, driving a snowmobile, a while before and after, from time to time, still spinning, shouting something, looking very excited, couldn't help but shake his head, when it just snowed, he was so excited, riding a snowmobile in the pasture every day, but after a long time, I felt bored, and the reason was very simple, I was panicked by freezing, and because there was heating in the snowmobile, it was too comfortable.

Since the purpose of this trip is not too far, it is a mountain range on the edge of Su Zhen Ranch, this mountain range should be regarded as a branch of the Rocky Mountain, and the highest peak is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, which is considered a very high mountain, but because of the altitude of Wyoming itself, the actual height of this mountain relative to the ground is actually only more than 1,000 meters, and this mountain is not as dense and sparse as Yellowstone, so it is very suitable for skiing.

"Wow, that's a nice place," Carrick and Elena exclaimed as they stopped their bikes and looked at the towering snow-capped mountains as they reached the bottom of the mountain.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain quickly, we have to reach Dada before noon" Su Zhen saw the two stop, so he stepped out of the window and shouted to the two who stopped.

The two nodded, put on the big goggles and set off, in fact, the three of them are dressed like this, in this kind of snow-covered sunny day, if you don't wear goggles, it is very dangerous, it is easy to cause snow blindness because of the reflection of ultraviolet rays from the ice and snow, which is in the wild, especially when you are alone, it is simply fatal.

Modern means of transportation are really not comparable to cattle and horses, ten minutes later, the three of them arrived halfway up the mountainside, the total journey took only more than two hours, this kind of ice and snow covered situation if you ride a horse, it is estimated that it will be night.

Halfway up the mountain, it's not that a few people don't want to go up again, but there are steep peaks further up. It's not as gentle as the second half, snowmobiles and snowmobiles can't go up at all, in fact, the three of them don't plan to go up, they are here to ski, not to climb, this height is completely enough, there are heights and ups and downs, very good ski area.

"Let's set up camp here" Su Zhen turned around and found a leeward col, Carrick and Elena looked at it and nodded. There's really no better place to camp than here.

However, at this moment, the ground is covered with thick snow, so a few people have to shovel a vacant land on the ground first, fortunately, several people have prepared multi-functional shovels in advance, and soon sorted out a clearing, and the rest of the tent is much simpler, and it took a little effort to tie the iron drill, no way, the ground was frozen hard.

After setting up the tent, Elena couldn't wait to take out the ski equipment. I was going to go first, but I saw that she was very proficient in putting on the equipment, and the pole was started with a slight slide. After a while, only Carrick and Su Zhen were left with a back.

"Hey, Sue, it's still early, how about we go paddle too?" Carrick also said.

"Forget it. You go paddle first, and I'll take Mike to the woods to get some firewood and prepare for a fire. Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go and make a circle first. The campfire will bother you," Carrick said, getting ready to get gear on.

Su Zhen smiled, took the shotgun from the car and put it behind his back, picked up the multi-purpose shovel, motioned for Kairol and Ah Da to look after the house in the camp, and then rubbed Mike's head and asked him to go with him.

Mike shook his snow-white hair, ran a few steps, and ran in front of Su Zhen, arching a wide snow track with its huge body, "Good job Mike" Su Zhen praised, so that it would be much easier for him to move.

The firewood in the forest is deeply buried under the thick layer of snow, it is very troublesome to find, it is not impossible to cut a tree directly to burn, anyway, there is gasoline, it will not be lit or not, the so-called wet firewood is afraid of fierce fire, but because the firewood is too wet, there will be heavy smoke when burned, and it is more smoked, so if it is not necessary, it is better not to use wet firewood, but Su Zhen was lucky to find a dead pine tree, although it is a bit big, but it doesn't matter, Mike's hundreds of kilograms of meat are not long in vain, Su Zhen cut off this withered pine with a multi-functional shovel very neatly, and after living in the ranch for so long, this thing is still difficult for him, but I have to say that the multi-functional shovel is really versatile, with pickaxes, shovels, saws, chopping, and knocking all kinds of functions.

Then he took out the safety rope behind him and tied one end to the dead tree, and the other end was ready to be put on Mike, but he found that Mike was staring in one direction vigilantly, and let out a warning roar, Su Zhen looked, only to see a big tree in the distance There was a yellow thing, Su Zhen took a closer look, it turned out to be a mountain lion, the mountain lion is also known as a cougar, but although the name has a lion word, but it is much worse than the real lion, at most it is at the same level as the cheetah, this kind of carnivorous food is more common in the United States, And in winter, domestic animals are often attacked.

I saw the mountain lion lying on the high branches and looked at Mike vigilantly, for the mountain lion, bears are their biggest natural enemies, of course, their biggest world was the North American gray wolf, but since the North American gray wolf was killed almost extinct, the opponent is only a bear, although this mountain lion is the first time to see a snow-white bear, but this does not prevent it from being hostile and vigilant to Mike, there is a deer hanging on the treetops not far from this mountain lion, it seems that it is its prey, this mountain lion is a bit similar to a leopard, They all like to hide their food in trees.

If he usually sees a mountain lion, Su Zhen will definitely shoot, but forget it now, it's not that Su Zhen's conscience finds out, but if it is not necessary, no one will shoot on the snow-covered mountain, and it is not a joke to cause an avalanche, Su Zhen is just a habit of entering the mountain with a shotgun.

Su Zhen patted Mike, signaling that he didn't care about the mountain lion, and then put one end of the safety rope on Mike's body, dragging this dead pine was more laborious for Su Zhen, but for Mike, it was very easy.

When Su Zhen returned to the camp, the two people who went skiing had not yet returned, Su Zhen could only see the two leaping figures in the ridge from a distance, of course Su Zhen would also ski, but it was also funny, Su Zhen learned to ski not in Wyoming in winter, but in the Middle East, where there is no snow all year round, Dubai has vigorously developed tourism in recent years, and several ski resorts in the city have been built, and Su Zhen learned to ski there.

Su Zhen shrugged his shoulders when he saw that the two of them didn't come back immediately, let's make a fire and cook it yourself, and when the two people came back, the daylily was cold.

Su Zhen took a lot of effort, and finally dismembered a pine tree into pieces of firewood, Su Zhen looked at the high pyre, and breathed a sigh of relief, so much, it is enough to burn for two or three days, and then there is no need to look for firewood.

I dug a pit in the middle of the camp with a multi-purpose shovel, put in dry firewood, poured a little gasoline, and used a lighter, and the fire burst into flames.

Su Zhen took off the pot rack and bucket for camping from the car, set up the pot, and poured water into the pot, this water was brought from home, of course, it was actually the space water that Su Zhen had installed in advance, it was not necessary in the wild, it was best not to drink rain or snow water, don't think that the rain and snow falling from the sky were very clean, in fact, these waters were not as clean as stream water, because under natural conditions, water vapor must be supersaturated to the level of relative humidity of more than 500% before it condenses into water droplets, and in natural conditions, Such a large degree of supersaturation cannot be pure, so water vapor needs condensate to condense, and these condensates are generally some invisible fine particles in the air, which may be dust, or can be sulfuric acid, nitrogen and other chemicals, so in fact rain and snow are very dirty.

When the water was almost hot, Su Zhen put a package of marinated beef pieces into the pot, put some truffles and potatoes brought from home, and then covered the pot and began to stew slowly, and then built a grill by the fire, put the bread on it and baked it, this is the lunch for three people, and the animal's lunch is much simpler, as long as the meat is thawed in hot water, Mike and Carol's biggest advantage is that they are not picky eaters, as long as it is meat, whether it is raw or cooked, it is basically not refused, and even occasionally eat a little vegetarian.

When Su Zhen was almost done, Elena came back first, made a beautiful tail flick in front of Su Zhen, and stopped steadily.

"Oh my God, Sue, you're so fast" Elena couldn't help but be surprised to see that Su Zhen had not only lit the fire, but also that lunch had almost been prepared.

"Of course, if you can't do this thing well, how can you be a good rancher," Su Zhen said with a smile.

When Carrick returned, the three of them sat around the fire and had their meal. (To be continued......)
