五台山，中国佛教第一圣地。位于山西省五台县境内，方圆五百余里，海拔三千米，由五座山峰环抱而成，五峰高耸，峰顶平坦宽阔，如垒土之台，故称五台。五台分别为东台望海峰，西台挂月峰，南台锦绣峰，北台叶斗峰，中台翠岩峰。五台之中北台叶斗峰最高，海拔３０５８米，素称“华北屋脊”。五台山除五大禅处外，名寺还有金阁寺和碧山寺等。碧山寺是五台山最大的十方禅寺，佛经称东、西、南、北、东南、西南、东北、西北、上、下为十方。十方禅寺是可以使各方名僧来作主持的禅院，又叫十方刹。五台山在隋唐时已经名声远播，宋以后，日本、印尼、尼泊尔等国的僧侣与五台山都有往来。从五台山源远流长的兴始发展中，我们不难看出它在四大佛山所占据的特殊地位。它不仅生动翔实的记录了中国佛教起落兴衰的过程，同时还展现了佛教文化的灿烂和进步。作为我国四大佛教名山之首的五台山，千百年来吸引了无数的游人。 东台：又称望海峰，台顶如鳌鱼脊，海拔2795米。 鸿门岩：海拔2500. 北台：叶斗峰(3061m)，号称“华北屋脊” 中台：翠岩峰(2894m). 西台：挂月峰(2773米) 狮子窝 金阁寺 南台：锦绣峰(2474米) 大朝台线路 漫漫朝台路 包车从武汉与山西忻州砂河镇往返，单边行程约1200公里。这里友情提示下：考虑到湖北到达山西五台的火车票紧张加上队员多不方便转车，本次包车前往。但是最大的细节失误是没有预计到山西境内高速的本地规定是：大客车禁止夜间通行的时间与全国的不一样，当地高速规定：晚20：00--凌晨5：00禁止大客通行（与全国的规定凌晨2：00--5：00不同）。副领队：凡人 从砂河镇上鸿门岩。这里也友情提示下：五台门票目前168元，进山费100元，但这只是从台怀镇进入上五台的规定，而我们从砂河镇进入上五台，再从南台出来，没有任何收取门票和进山费用的地方。 鸿门岩 轻装东台往返东台眺望北台鸿门岩至北台，突遇8级狂风夹雨水以及大雾天气，重装沿山脊穿越几乎无法站立行走，同时狂风夹着雨水击打在全身，手上感觉如同冰雹击打，全身迅速失温，大雾中几乎难以看到前行的线路，原定的山脊和直切向上几乎不太可能。 当晚在北台挂单 第二天早上6：00全体24名队友北台合影，出发向中台。([]

mad018陈可心倩女幽魂
陈博亦从蜜月选择海岛游开始，我们对海岛似乎有种别样的执着。在一般人里面相似雷同的海水沙滩，在我们眼里都会衍生出千百万种的魅力与诱惑。虽然去年10月才刚去过巴厘岛，但是今年的境外第一站，我们依旧在众人不解的目光中选择了同样是海岛的巴拉望。其实没有一个海岛是可以完全被复制的，所以永远不要去担心你去海岛将要看到的风景是与之前类似的，我相信每一个海岛都有属于自己的灵魂与主。如果说巴厘岛是一首华丽的重奏交响曲，巴拉望就是纯朴自然的悠长小调。它回旋于起伏蜿蜒的山路，飘荡在森森绿意的牧野，徘徊于每一个绚烂到不可思议的日落黄昏，纵情于每一片不知名的碧海蓝天。如果你愿意抛却偏见，你会发现，为什么巴拉望被称为菲律宾最后的处女地，神秘的海上乌托邦。 巴拉望在哪？这是出行前身边朋友从我口中听到这个目的地后问得最多的问。对于我而言，也是1,2年前看了一篇游记才知道菲律宾除了人满为患的长滩，还有这样清净别致的海岛。我们在那待了8天7夜，遇到的国人数量以个位数计。诚然，巴拉望商业开发程度低，交通不便道路状况差，某些生活设施远没有长滩那么方便，所以吸引不了那么多游客趋之若鹜。可是，想象一下这样的画面：仿佛伸手可及的蓝天白云，阳光下晶莹闪烁的果冻色海浪，空无一人只有喵星人陪你的私家海滩，会对陌生人友善微笑的当地人民，阳光下无忧无虑玩耍嬉戏的当地孩童，在路边随意绽放的那一树树凤凰花，这些并非可望不可及的天堂缩影，这是每时每刻正在巴拉望发生的场景。如果，只想想安安静静度个假，知道这些后会不会更坚定你前往的决心？ϰ4;新浪微博：@shirley雪梨酱ϰ4;任何旅行相关的问欢迎微博私信，我看到后就会回复 百度上有不少介绍巴拉望的资料，结合那些加上我实地获得的资讯就是：巴拉望是个菲律宾西南部一个狭长型的海岛，全长400多公里。在这个拥有 11785平方公里面积、1700多个小岛的省级区域，却只有一个可以起落737机型的飞机场，因此得以保证一贯的低调与寂静。曾先后被西班牙和日本殖民 统治过，公主港是它的首府，行走其间不难发现殖民和战争留下的痕迹。后因为圣保罗地底河的发现渐渐被世人所知。巴拉望的如梦似幻当然并不仅限于它神秘古老的气质，在这里，生长着很多世界其他地方遍寻不到的珍稀动物和奇花异草。同时，巴拉望拥有世界上最好的水体，水域中遍布珊瑚和珊瑚礁，为颜色各异和种类繁多的珊瑚鱼、小梭鱼、灰礁鲨以及其他形式的海洋生物提供了欢乐的港湾。巴拉望因为交通不便，虽然有自由行的可能，但是对于平日里已经劳心劳力的上班族来说，实在没有那么多精力去编排。巴拉望虽然是个狭长型的岛屿，但通常的玩法是选1-2个地方重点玩，不会像之前在巴厘岛那样整个岛屿全线铺开。所以我俩根据自身的喜好，商量后大致圈定了公主港+爱妮岛阿普莉这两个点。订票订房、交通衔接事宜就全权交给了旅行社去安排，我们乐得再次作个甩手掌柜。之前去巴厘岛对旅行社的私家团玩法很满意，不过巴拉望暂时没有这种高大上的服务，但是依旧可以让游客自己制定行程，去每个地方都确保有随行的车辆、导游。没有普通旅行团的吵吵嚷嚷，也没有被强迫购物的烦恼，我们只顾着享受度假的乐趣就好，省心省力省钱又充满安全感。上海到巴拉望没有直飞航线，通常都要去马尼拉转机，再从马尼拉搭乘飞往公主港或者科隆的航班。飞巴拉望最常用的航空公司就是菲律宾航空与宿雾太平洋航空，这次我们选择的后者。是菲律宾第二大的航空公司，虽然是廉价航空，但是飞机很新，服务不错，餐食尚可，国际段椅背可以轻微调节。还有一点似乎是所有东南亚航空的共同点，那就是冷气开得非常足还没有毛毯。回程的时候看到周围所有人都穿上长袖长裤全副武装的样子，不免觉得那场面实在太美了！第一晚&第二晚ONE MANALO PLACE玛娜洛设计酒店位于公主港的市中心，离机场很近，所以第一、二晚的住宿就安排在这里了。因为公主港本身不大，加之我们出行都有车辆接送，所以觉得从酒店出发去哪里的车程都很近（出海不算），周围就有一家非常不错的按摩店（我们接连光顾了两天），酒店对面有一家我们认为整个公主港数一数二的猪肋排餐厅。进门就是个逼格甚高的泳池，泳池一侧是极具现代简约气息的套房，名叫设计酒店名副其实。房间走的也是简约路线，空间还算宽敞，该有的洗漱用品也一应俱全。菲律宾90%以上的民众信奉天主教，房间床头还放安放了两本圣经，莫不是住客里教徒很多？第三晚&第四晚 BLUE BEACH CLUBS PALAWAN位于公主港的海边，地处幽静，但是离罗宾森百货非常近。酒店是度假村性质，所有房间都是联排或独栋的小Villa，度假村还有个小型的私人沙滩，平时几乎没有人，看日出与日落都很棒，我们在那里拍了许多满意的照片。清晨傍晚在泳池边坐坐吹吹风都会感觉特别惬意，偶尔还有喵星人从身边飘过，比起one manalo这里的度假氛围更浓。房间是纯白的色调，茅草的屋顶白色的纱幔，风格比较朴实自然，但是卫生间还做到了干湿分离。虽然地处偏僻，但是前台有叫车服务，一辆tricycle可以帮你带到公主港的任何地方，不用因为度假村的位置而担心。([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分，不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦，希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子，原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co， where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30)， 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([

白英琴本贴图文，均属原创。谢绝所有形式的转载。如有需要，请留言或站短。这是2009年7月的行程了。从自然风景来说，317不如318，地貌比较单一，大部分地段是在高山草甸上行走，不象318，峡谷，高山，草原，湖泊应有尽有，尤其在通过横断山脉那一段时，雄浑的群山看得人心旌摇曳，目瞪口呆。但是，就人文和风情来说，317却远胜318，这条国道，基本都是在藏区穿行，并且，是很深入很原生态的藏区，而不是被汉族同化了的风景区。这里甚至有很多人，都听不懂普通话，从交流上来讲，是种缺憾，但是，从风情上来讲，却是很多驴子求之不得的。这条线游客稀少，甚至可以说没有。玉树-昌都-德格-甘孜-马尔康这一段，我只碰到两个和我们一样的背包客。要去的驴子，可以赶紧筹划了，不要等到游客蜂拥而来时，再去凑热闹。本次出行线路：上海-成都-康定-甘孜-石渠-玉树-昌都-江达-德格-甘孜-色达-马尔康-若尔盖-郎木寺-夏河-兰州-上海。基本都沿着317国道在走。说起来好笑，这次出行，在没有到达火车站之前，我居然不知道是否能走得成。之前一天，破树幸灾乐祸（他自己去新疆的时候遇上75，担惊受怕地逃回来，困在家里出不去，就巴不得所有的人都不能成行）地告诉我，宝成铁路江油段因为连日暴雨，河水超过警戒水位，列车停止运行。而我坐的那趟车，正好要经过江油。这真是出师未捷，心已经死了好几回了。先是新疆75事件，闹得人心惶惶，家人担心藏区也跟着闹，不许我去。于是把眼光瞄准东北。可是筹划了几天，还是兴致索然。虽然东北我早晚要去一趟，但在最近的三年里，它不在我的计划之中。几经周折，终于还是买了车票。准备出发。进了车站，一看，电子显示屏上，我坐的那趟火车正在检票。看来没停运，赶紧进站台，一问，可能要绕道。不管怎么说，能照常发车就好，还是很高兴地上了车。我摸着脖子上挂着的小弥勒。那是大爷去九华山的时候，一位高僧送给他的，我每次出行，都戴着它，每次都能平安回来。我是个有一点轻微迷信的人，所以，宁愿把出发前这一切不顺，当成“好事多磨”。列车在苏南平原上奔驰着，窗外是大片碧绿的稻田。即使隔着窗，也能想象出烈日下蒸腾的水汽。这是我所熟悉的故乡原风景，我在这里出生，长大，变老。可是尚且年轻的心，总是不安分的，渴望去到更远更陌生的地方。所以，一次次离家，行走。到了西安，火车广播通知，改道走安康达州南充到成都。这一改道，原定35个小时能道成都的火车，就足足走了48小时。从西安到安康不到200公里，居然走了大半天，直坐到人崩溃。我从17号早上8点，一直坐到19号凌晨4点半，才算到成都。西部的天亮得晚，只好在广场上等肯德基开门，挨到6点半，天终于亮了，搭公交去武侯祠。在梦之旅青年旅馆开好房，一边先洗头洗澡，一边等船过来。她的火车比我晚几个小时。会合以后，逛锦里，睡午觉，去新南门车站买明天去康定的票，继续闲逛。色达。若尔盖花湖。玉树街头的康巴妇女。路过达州，穷极无聊，拍下窗外的山。成都，火车站肯德基。在这么热闹的地段，它居然不是24小时营业的。为了等开门，我蹲在外面的台阶上，等了一个多小时。坐公交到武侯祠的时候，大约是清晨7点半。锦里空无一人，非常清净。20号，成都-康定一早起床，坐公交去车站。还忙里偷闲吃了早饭，买了水果。上车昏睡。说飞仙关那里修路，实行交通管制，但是我们的车居然没停，一直就开过去。司机小气得紧，不舍得开空调，车里一直很闷热。 到二郎山，跳下车，才发现车里车外是两个世界。成都带来的燠热已经烟消云散，取而代之的是无比的凉爽。二郎山是四川盆地和川西高原的分界点，一翻过山，温度就骤然下降好几度，跟成都的湿热比起来，俨然两重天。 越往康定开，太阳越是照得人睁不开眼，我把魔术围巾拉到鼻子上扮蒙面鬼。车停下来加水，我问洗车的妇女，康定还有多远？她愣愣地看着怪异的我，半天才说：前面就是了，还有18公里。去年其实走过一次康定，但没有停留很久，只是匆匆而过。记得它有狭长的街道，奔腾的折多河，和依山而建的民居。刚出车站，就被一群小面包司机包围了，七嘴八舌地问我们，去不去塔公、丹巴、八美……等地方。船同志想去塔公，她不知道从哪听说塔公很美，中了邪一样非要去。于是打听了下，乖乖，两个人包车得450元，拼车也得80一个人。而且路上得花4个多小时，现在已经是下午4点，等到那里，天也快黑了。而且考虑到川北的班车，都是大清早就发车的，即使是明天早上，还是没时间玩。并且塔公只是个小镇，有没有班车往甘孜，还很难说。加上车站的工作人员对说，我们两个女的，没事最好不要坐藏民的车……前前后后一耽误，时间也晚了，于是买了明天直接到甘孜的车票，在车站附近找个小店住下，20/人，公用洗澡间，还凑合。之后的一路，住的大都是这样的旅店。至于玩，康定无非有个跑马山，被圈了地，门票60。附近还有个木格措，门票160……我一听就连忙摇手：不去不去。安顿好住宿，我先洗了一个澡，然后出去逛街找食，顺便把湿的头发晾干。 远处的跑马山。没上去。门票太贵了。折多河。和绝大部分西北的县城一样，康定也坐落在一个河谷中，湍急的折多河把城市一分为二，奔涌而过。街上行人稀少，藏汉相杂。有人沿河摆了小摊，卖各种菌子，大的小的花的，还有松茸。也有水果，桃子一元，苹果两元，比起上海来，便宜得让人觉得惊喜。便拎了一袋在手里。 仔细看折多河，水是浑黄的，可是在靠边的地方，又似乎是绿的，不由得奇怪起来。继续往上走，果然发现那是两条河汇合而成的，其中有一条，是清澈碧绿的水。问了路边溜狗的大爷，说，那条清的河，叫雅拉河。我连忙问：再往上走，是不是有一座雅拉神山？大爷说：对对，河水就是从山里淌下来的。 找了半天，找到一家小馆子，菜居然出乎意料的便宜，回锅肉12元，素菜6元，两人花20元解决了晚饭，拎着明天在路上吃的水果糕点，幸福地摸着肚子往回踱。路边卖菌子的山民。一条河的两种颜色。21号，康定-甘孜一早被闹钟叫醒，船去洗澡。等了半天，她气急败坏地推门进来，告诉我，浴室有扇窗子对着住客的房间，而锁和窗帘，居然是装在房间里面的！她洗着洗着，看到个影子拉开窗帘，站在后面偷看！我顿时昏倒。我昨天洗的时候，压根没发现这一茬，还笃悠悠地又哼又唱，在浴室消磨了不少时光。我只好祈祷老天，我洗澡的时候，那个房间，还没住人。船又说：他不会带着相机吧？我￥%·#……满天金星。这家的老板，真他妈是头猪。 背着东西下楼去车站，狭小的候车室已经人声鼎沸。一看，康定每天有四班车同时发往甘孜，三辆小巴，一辆大巴。我们不幸坐的，正是其中一辆小巴，并且，是在最后一排，并且，行李仓已经占满了，我们的包得放在过道上。并且，从康定到甘孜，我们一坐，就坐了十四个小时。这哪行啊。我抽身就出去了，东转西转半天，想找张报纸什么的垫在包下面，好歹干净些，但是找了半天，这里的人敢情都不看报的，连个纸屑也没见着，只好在站外的杂货店里，花8元钱买了个编织的蛇皮袋，拿到车上一抖开，正好放下两只包。后来我还很佩服自己的先见之明。要是没有这个蛇皮袋，我们那两只背囊，不知道要脏成什么样了，出出进进的别人的脚，不停地蹭在袋子上，还有坐我们前排的一个中年大爷，以每隔三分钟的频率吐一次痰，我怀疑他吐出的口水，都可以装满一痰盂罐了，保不定也粘点在我们袋子上……额，写到这里，有点恶心。可惜后来，这个袋子让船拉在了车上。这个败家娘们啊。 车到新都桥。窗外金绿色的草原。 最后一排共坐四个人。我好不容易挤进去，靠窗坐下来。小巴的最后一排都比前面的椅子要高，而窗的高度却是一样的，这就注定了坐在最后一排的人，视野有限。座位高了，我的脚就够不到地，只能悬在半空里。最后一排有多颠，坐过的人都知道，而且，这条路，是横贯在川西高原上的，除了不超过五十公里的油路外，几乎全是碎石路和土路……出了城就是折多山。去年经过的时候，从新都桥到折多山一段在修路，整个路面就是一个大酱缸，人车经过，无不被染成灰黄色。今年，据说新都桥那一段已经修好了，换成折多山的那段路被扒了，因为康定在造机场，要把路都换成高等级的。于是去年好好的油路不见了，被挖得东一个坑西一个坑，一路颠上山去。好容易到新都桥，路面终于平坦。车子离开318国道，向塔公方向拐过去。两旁是高大苍翠的林荫道，树木闪过车窗的间歇里，能看到远处的河流、青稞田和一幢幢灰白色的藏民居。这里的房子大都是石头建的，颜色和式样都很朴素，只在窗子周围，饰有红白的镶边。正开着，车子停下来，一问，单边放行。正好松泛一下坐木了的腿脚。路边有草地，权当是郊游吧。停车休息。一个晒太阳的小和尚。等上了车再开，路就变了，尤其是从塔公到八美的那一段，一点都不美，灰大得简直铺天盖地，车窗全部关上了，车里还飞舞着密密的细小的灰，无处不在，一会的工夫，深色的包和裤子上，就落下厚厚一层灰土。而外面的太阳正大，车厢里闷热不堪，简直难以忍受。我全副武装，帽子，魔术围巾齐上阵，把自己包得严严实实，只露出两只眼睛。船没带魔术围巾，而我发神经带了三条，于是分给她一条，同样裹严实。但是晚上到了甘孜，拿纸巾一擦鼻孔，还是漆黑一团。其他乘客就惨了，只能拿手捂着，或者拿衣袖挡着，没多久，就头发眉毛胡子全变成灰色的了。下车吃午饭的时候，车里的藏民全被我们的怪样逗笑了。我伸头问一个男孩：我象不象鬼？他摇头，用生硬的普通话回答我：不象，哪有这么美的鬼。哈哈。过了八美，路终于又好了一点，虽然还是颠，但是灰没那么大了，窗子也可以偶尔开一点透透气了。 我们的车。 接近道孚的时候，两边的民居变得异常美丽起来。这里的房子，都用黄和白色做主体，饰以朱红，明黄，橙红，天蓝等颜色，十分的明丽鲜艳。虽然道孚并没有什么出名的景点，但是我记得中国国家地理杂志上好象提过，这里的民居本身，就非常值得一看。后来我们不止一次地后悔，应该在道孚住一个晚上的。康定到道孚大约开八个小时，下午两点多就能到，正好四处逛逛，拍拍建筑，没准还能找个藏胞家访一下。这样的话，能在车上少颠六个多小时，人就不至于过度疲倦，那么第二天，我也许就不会因为高反跌破了下巴。 道孚一带的山比较平缓，山和山之间的平地也多，适合农作物生长，因此这里的经济也相对富裕，所以，房子修得特别讲究漂亮。一栋栋明媚艳丽的房子，夹杂在绿树青山间，显得格外悦目，是安详的高原田园风光。 从道孚到炉霍这一带，景色都很优美，靠近炉霍，民居的颜色又变了，和道孚民居的轻盈明丽不一样，这里的房子以朱红色为主体，饰以红黄绿白等其他颜色，整体看上去，显得华美庄重。 六点多的光线已经开始柔和，投射在路边的林子里，是各种深浅不一的美妙的绿色。我甚至看到一只小猴子轻捷地漫步在草地上，阳光在它身上清晰地折射出毛茸茸的金黄的剪影。 道孚民居……真正的房子，比我拍下的要美上十倍。可惜那段路，我不停地在打瞌睡，眼睛怎么都睁不开，白白错过了很多拍摄的机会~~炉霍汽车站。上下客，休息十分钟。炉霍街头。车上抓拍，歪歪倒倒，请忽视楼猪三脚猫的技术~~炉霍民居的颜色，和道孚又不一样了，以深红色为主，庄重华美。接近甘孜的时候，司机大约也心急了，车子开得飞快，本来路况尚好，但因为速度一快，后排就越发地颠起来，经常能把人从座位上抛起老高，再硬生生地砸下来，颠得屁股、大腿、甚至是浑身的骨头都痛。为了防止这打夯一样的硬砸，我不得不一手抓住前面的椅背，一手抓住座椅面；一只脚插在前面座位和车壁的空隙里，一只脚紧紧抵住前排座位，浑身每一个细胞都提高了警惕，一有被抛起的迹象，立刻放松身体，跟着车子的起伏跳起，再控制着尽量轻一点落到座位上，减少震动。下车后我回想了一下自己当时采取的举动，分明就是武术的基本功，“马步蹲档”嘛。下车后，我的整个背部剧痛，整整痛了两天才好。问一下船，她也同样痛。 翻越罗锅梁子时，山中的卡萨湖。 山脚的小镇。刚到甘孜，老天就给了我们一个下马威。太阳的余光还在山顶上挂着，豆大的雨点就毫不留情地砸下来，生冷的风直往衣领里灌，气温在不到五分钟的时间里，下降了好几度。好在我们决定明天在甘孜休整一天，不用急着赶路，于是就近，在亚青旅馆住下来，三人间，10元/人，不能洗澡，但是胜在便宜，离车站又近，何况斜对面就有澡堂，走过去也不过五分钟而已。简陋的旅馆里居然住满了人，大部分是喇嘛和觉母，也有汉族的和尚尼姑，还有很多的信徒。我们同房间的一个女人，也是从石家庄特地过来朝佛的，据她说，附近的亚青寺和色达，最近几天都有大法会，难怪有这么多的人了。 同屋大姐推荐我们到楼下的小饭店吃饭，说他们那里便宜，味道也不错。于是去了。一看，只有一间屋的门面，摆着三张油腻腻的桌子，电灯的瓦数明显不够，看上去黑咕隆咚的，生意倒不错，坐满了人。 点了两个菜，等了半天。味道差强人意。第二天换了一家店堂看上去干净些的，结果吃下来，比在他家贵起50%。后来就不挑剔了，还是老老实实回到他家吃。一边吃饭，一边不停地有人进来乞讨。手里捏着把一元的零钱。给了一个，跟着又来下一个。打发了几个，我们也学聪明了，照这样给下去，还不破产啊？于是再来讨，一概摇头：没有。他们倒也不强求，你说没有，就走人。 夕阳西下……22号，甘孜早上睡到自然醒，爬起来，但觉得象被人毒打过一顿般，动一动就混身痛。看来昨天那十四个小时的颠簸煎熬，确实伤了老本了。 出去找吃的，然后去澡堂洗澡。5元/人，船嫌太贵，一定要洗够本才行。于是把换下的脏衣服，也就着热水洗干净了。施施然回旅馆，晾衣服，吃午饭，买明天到石渠的车票，睡午觉，直到下午三点，才出门去甘孜寺。 功略上说，甘孜寺是不用门票的，但的士把我们送到大门口以后，却有一个喇嘛背着布包走过来，要我们买票，一看，票价10元，上面也没有核价的章。好在不贵，就掏了。甘孜寺是整个县城的制高点，站在寺门口的平台上，能鸟瞰整个城区。远处层层叠叠的山峦，青翠的青稞田，土黄色的民居，军营，和军营里停放整齐的军车，把长焦拉近，还能看到他们在打球。 甘孜街头。那一天，好象正是日全食，大雨滂沱，街上漆黑一片，路灯都亮了。不过到了中午，就云开日出，阳光灿烂了。吃过午饭，打了一辆的，去甘孜寺。([]

黄俊任美国佛蒙特州440公里的"长小道"， The Long Trail, 是美国最老的长距离贯通徒步小道。它于1910年至1930年期间修筑完成。其南端起点为与麻萨诸塞州的州界，北部终点是与加拿大接壤的边境线。"长小道"穿越佛蒙特州境内的整个绿山山脉，Green Mountains的大部分顶峰。 同时它又与美国东部地区的另一个3500公里的长距离小道，阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail，在其南部公享170公里左右的线路。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的英文简介。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的位置图。"长小道";以地形复杂，险峻，困难而著称。佛蒙特州东部临近大西洋，西部紧接香槟湖，所以雨量很充沛，加上沿途的土质为细泥，遇水后，小道积水不散，十分泥泞，极易导致身体行走部位的疾病。退却的冰川在佛蒙特州留下了明显的痕迹，小道经常使用，在陡峭地区水土流失严重，遇水后，光滑裸露的石头给行走者带来非常不确定的安全保障系数。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的小比例尺地形图。"长小道"， The Long Trail由佛蒙特州的GREEN MOUNTAIN Club的工作人员负责养护，维修，和提供各种便利的设施，象避难所，或简易木屋等。 他们在有些地点向徒步露营者收取一定的费用，以补贴开销。小道依然用白色油漆的长方形记号，在树上，表示小道的方向。外加最多木质的文字指示牌，来提供给使用者简洁明了的信息。这种运作模式在很多美国当地的户外俱乐部都采纳，特别是沿由各州俱乐部分段负责的阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail。"长小道";历史的英文简介。我在2009年做3500公里阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail背包贯通时，完成了在其南端的170公里，在2010年又从加拿大边境向南走了约80公里。我今年从与阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail分岔的地方重新开始，向北190公里，与去年停止的地方相接，从而完成了全长440公里的的"长小道"。限于时间与水平，我大部采用纪实性的描述，并按时间推移的顺序来完成这个记录。2009年8月21日当日起点 Wilbur Clearing Tent Site, MA, AT M. P. 1,579.4当日终点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0里程数 10.0 英哩 (16.1 公里)天气 阴天到暴雨我今天的路程。红色的小屋，外加说明，为示意性的夜晚露营地点。我进到镇上的时间尚早，按预定计划补充食品，便沿2号公路往Williamstown的超市走去。我给自己买了四个甜面包圈，和一大杯咖啡，很快消灭完了。购物完毕后，我感到天气十分的闷热，沿着来时的公路返回小道。麻萨诸塞州与佛蒙特州的交界还在照片大山的后面，要有一阵子爬了。由于天热，上坡消耗了不少的体力。到了山顶我发现天开始飘下雨滴来，但没有任何立刻的威胁。 麻萨诸塞州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。这里同时又与阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail共用。佛蒙特州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。沿着它走440公里，就可以到加拿大的边境了，但最好不要越过，万一被美国边境巡逻发现，法律问就来了。我重新上路几个小时后遇到了一场雷暴雨，被迫穿着雨衣，坐在地上半个小时。在到达Congdon Shelter之前，我走过湖边，泥潭，沼泽地等，两脚全部湿透，给今后几天的行程带来了极大的痛苦。我走了好半天终于到了Congdon Shelter， 一个老旧，黑暗的双层木屋。一个来自澳大利亚的阿帕拉契亚小道南行直通背包客已经在里面了。我们聊了好半天，并想法晾干潮湿的衣服，但作用不大。我刚睡下不久，也快要到晚上九点钟，两个年轻人，Tully和Jungli 姗姗来迟。我心里有点意见，但想来他们为年轻人，正在学习阶段，不要过分责备他们。由于我从麻萨诸塞过来一直在病中恢复，体力非常疲乏，人情绪很低落，加上天气不好，脚病严重，小道西周无风景，所以连续好多天，拍片的欲望几乎没有。 2009年8月22日当日起点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0当日终点Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4里程数 14.4 英哩 (23.2 公里)天气 阴天到小雨我依旧想往常一样，早早起来，与那位来自澳大利亚的朋友互相道别，便走在茂密，潮湿，和泥泞的树林里。那两个年轻人还在睡觉，就象其他年轻人一样，起来的都较晚。但他们体力好，白天能做出长距离，而且傍晚结束得也迟，所以在行程上并不落后。佛蒙特州的";长小道";，处于一种特殊的地质构造上，地表有很丰厚的土壤覆盖 ，且多为细状，或腐质的泥土。由於小道长期使用，表面形成低洼的槽型，下雨后容易积水，而且非常不易排出。昨天的大雨使得小道非常的难走，我很多时候无法越过大一点的泥潭，必须要绕道行走。更可恶的是这小道经过好几个湿地，和湖泊。那里面的水积蓄太多，都溢满出来了。原来不错的，木板条铺设的小道全部被沉浸在好几英寸的水里，我不得不穿着鞋走过去，反正也已经湿透了。长时间的将脚浸泡在水里，使得皮肤变得软。鞋子和袜子受水后，体积变大，加上我仍穿着两层的袜子，一个缺智的决定。因为以上几个原因，我脚皮肤被磨破的机率大大地增加，而自己却没能及时地预见到。一路上几乎没有任何的观景点，一直都在茂密的林子里行走。经过一个大爬坡，我最终来到了Goddard Shelter，一个海拔高度3,540英尺的山坡上。这是我从美国南部地区过来露宿的最高的一座山峰，已经好几个月了。里面有许多往南行走的人，包括一些加拿大来的徒步者。我与他们聊了半天，并在那里吃了晚饭。。因感到今晚在棚里宿营太拥挤了些，我就在附近的林子了找了一片空地，搭起帐篷。 一个父女的搭伴也来到此地，在林子里象我一样。我犯了大错误，将我的帐篷设置在一个小浅沟上，一厢情愿地晚上不要下雨，人太累又不去反复思考一下，但结果恰恰相反。第二天早上发现帐篷里面的脚一端全是积水，衣服，睡袋，睡垫全部潮了。幸亏我带的是化纤的睡袋，问还不太严重。当天的路程及宿营地点。 2009年8月23日当日起点 Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4当日终点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3里程数 8.9 英哩 (14.3 公里)天气 阴天到大雨爬上Glastenbury Mountain并不困难，但我脚上开始觉得很疼痛。山顶的一个旧的森林火灾了望塔已经没有观察员了。我去过不少有了望塔的山顶，只有一次遇见个了望员，并与他聊了一会儿，知道当代的无线电话通讯与卫星观测技术发展很快，靠人工来报警即慢又不准确，又费人工，所以大部分已经废除了。Glastenbury Mountain山顶的火灾了望塔。下Glastenbury Mountain给我一身中第一次这样的感觉，我是象走在一个完全绿色的世界里。树叶，树皮，地表，石头都被绿色所包围与覆盖。小道的表面高低不平，很粗糙，我要用脚掌来掌握好平衡。 这样就造成前脚掌的应力过分集中，给已经感染的破损伤口，主要在脚趾之间和底下，带来了巨大的疼痛。我在临近中午十分，实在无法忍受，似乎意识到一个原因所在，将里面的一层袜子脱掉，好减轻一下挤压的感觉。此时天从阴天转为零星小雨，并逐渐加大。我穿上雨衣，在雨里走了一刻钟，到了Story Spring Shelter。我估计雨还要再下，不愿拖着带伤的脚，让其继续恶化， 决定今天到此为止。我在棚子里见到了一个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步者，Beam Man, 正在休整。他说他在康乃迪克州Salisbury的一家客栈里见过我。 我当时正发烧严重，没有留意过往的客人。另外我昨晚见到那两个父女搭档，不久又出现了。我原本不知道他们为父女，有点岁数差，觉得有点奇怪，羡慕那男的有桃花运气，但经那男的一说才明白。他们是从Grafton, Maine来的。他跟我将说了在缅因州州徒步的经历和所花的时间，给了我一些思想准备。北边的记为我今天的营地。下面的是昨天的， 因为我北行。下午又陆续来了些背包徒步者，一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者今晚与我共用这个避难所。另外一帮哈佛大学的新生也来凑热闹，但觉得人多棚子里会太挤，就到附近露营去了。他们是参加一个新生辅导适应项目，用集体背包徒步的方式来完成，对我来说挺新鲜的，估计益处不少。下午一直在下大雨，到傍晚才停。我也睡了一个长的午觉。又是临近晚上九点时分，那两个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步，青年男女搭档出现在棚子里，我此时已经睡了好久了。但一般不成文的规矩是，晚上九点钟后到了营地，就不应该去棚子打扰了，而是睡在外面。理论上讲他们遵守规则，但也太靠近时限，一般人在棚子里七，八点钟就入睡了。他们与我说话，吃饭，弄了我好半天没能睡着。我在麻萨诸塞州的一个营地第一次碰见Tully，那个男生，可能大学才毕业，人挺随和的。当时我被千军万马的蚊子说包围，痛苦不堪，自己在外搭起帐篷。他又因为食物不够第二天要早点下山。看来年轻人不愿被琐事烦恼，计划不周是他们的特点之一。但同时这也体现出他们无忧无虑，尽情放松的生活态度。反正他们有身体的资本和足够的勇气，出来玩，何必象我操那么多心呢? 2009年8月24日当日起点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3当日终点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6里程数 18.3 英哩 (29.4 公里)天气 阴天到多云今天一开始的几个小时都是在相对较低的地方行走。可以想象那泥泞的小道给我带来的麻烦。四周的景色依然没有，只有无边无际的绿色树林。我穿过几个乡间公路，也见过一些人家，觉得倒是退休后隐居的好去处。爬Stratton Mountain需要不少的时间，上山的路上遇见一个女性阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者，聊了好一会儿，我们互祝走运。对她来讲还有更多的路程要走。北边的记为我今天的营地。今天我的脚情况更糟糕，不但很疼痛，而且还发出难闻的怪味。可能受潮后的鞋子与发炎的肌肤共同造成的。我经常要把脚趾向内卷起，避免接触到鞋底，以减轻疼痛。我行走得速度相当得缓慢。我昨天已经开始服用内服抗菌素，阿莫西林，以帮助减轻炎症。越往上走，越能看到高山地带的植被，整个小道的面貌也发生变化。我在山顶与见到一个女性木屋看护员。她扮演小道历史的讲解员，和环境提倡者的角色。我又遇见那两个父女搭档。我歇了一会儿，吃了点东西，因上面温度低，就赶紧下山了。Stratton Mountain的铭牌。其海拔高度3,936英尺(1,200米)。左边便是个旧的火灾了望塔。Stratton Mountain山顶的解说牌，象历史，注意事项，地图等。我在山顶的小歇处。Stratton Mountain山顶的小木屋。住着Green Mountain Club的专职看护员，主要是向大众讲解"长小道"的历史，平时的作业，注意事项，和积极推广环保的观念等。下到Stratton Mountain山下，在湖边遇到又一个父女搭档的背包客。这次他们是从新墨西哥州来的。因家庭闹纠纷，那男的还随身携带许多家庭里的私人文件，准备在法庭上使用。他的小女儿爱画画，他就不停地拿给我看。可我却急得赶路呢! 我在山顶见到的来自缅因州的那对父女搭档正在对面的湖边营地晾晒潮湿的装备，而我因脚疼，走得慢，不想丧失时间。我在下一个避难所附近给一个在Manchester Center的私人客栈的主人打了个电话，预定了一间房间，好明天住进。奇怪，在山里居然还有手机信号!下午的大半行程相对容易，但我脚却疼得麻木了。来到距通往Manchester Center的公路不远的Spruce Peak Shelter， 里面有个来自波士顿的徒步老者。知道我的脚伤后给了我一些水泡帖片。 但我又还给他，我的情况更严重，不是水泡问，而是感染发炎。我感到自己得头上有点发热，估计是发炎引起的低烧。那对来自缅因州州的父女搭档又来到此地，依照他们的传统，在附近的林子里搭营。我们三次见面，似乎已经成为好朋友了。他们告诉我他们的食品储备多，明天继续往前赶路。而我明天却要到城市里去。我们在傍晚时相互问候道别。我谢谢他们给我提供的缅因州州徒步信息，因为那里有一段很艰难。2009年8月25日当日起点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6当日终点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4里程数 2.8 英哩 (4.5 公里)天气 多云到晴昨晚避难所里又来了一批年轻人，睡觉时倒挺安静的。我早早离开，想尽早地进城，好好地休整一下。花了一个多小时，我就来到佛蒙特州Rt. 11/30公路。没有十分钟，一位驾着斯巴鲁的乡绅便把车子挺到路边。他一会儿对我说他的儿子在外徒步，也希望能搭乘到别人的车。我住在Manchester Center的Sutton Place。这家客栈为私人的住宅，上面二楼的几间卧室全部改装为客房。我选了一间最小的，也是最便宜的。但绝对值上却相当的贵，因为这个州是个旅游业的州。这个城市为典型消费型的，有众多名牌产品促销店，而在冬季又是滑雪的好去处。我今天的路程。左边为Manchester Center。Sutton Place前的一条街。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。名牌产品销售区。名牌产品销售区。左边街对面为洗衣房。 右边是名牌产品销售区。左边为洗衣房。我在洗衣的时候，洗衣房旁边一个甜面包圈店。我在里面简单吃了早点，问掌柜的哪里有好的餐馆。那人告诉我不远处的这家餐馆。我点了一份牛排，吃的时候发现，做的太老了，底下都烤焦了，很失望，但还是给了那服务员，一位退休妇女小费。从第一家餐馆出来。当地的商业中心。我在右边那家超市，Price Chopper里买了食品，我事先知道可以问其经理能否享受与当地持会员卡人同样的折价，有点出乎我的意外，他们很爽快地同意了。这个城市里有几个户外用品商店。一家大的就在画面右边， Eastern Mountain Sports.我的头像，十分的疲惫，和被脚病所困扰。食品超市。一家中国餐馆。我在一个多小时内又吃了一顿午饭。附近的一座高山。想爬山的人，住在这地方不错，四周都有高山。买完食品，往回走去。今天晚上我来到此家餐馆，叫了份牛排与大西洋龙虾，那里的色拉菜为尽管吃。味道比中午吃的牛排要好多了。服务生小姐又热情漂亮，钱多花一点也挺值的。但这个量对我来说根本不够。商业街旁的景色。商业街旁的景色。商业街上貌似住宅，但却为名牌商店。注意基督教堂前立柱上的中文。2009年8月26日当日起点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4当日终点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)里程数 12.4 英哩 (20.0 公里)天气 多云到小雨，转晴我想早点回到小道上去，放弃了在街头等搭免费车的概念。所以我昨天回来客栈后便于当地的一个出租车联系好，今早送我回小道。那个司机是个意大利移民，娶了泰国的女人，最后明白着向我要小费。通常我是给一点。但只有他以为背包徒步者都是下层人物，年轻人，不懂规矩，先明讲。我感觉到金钱味，很粗俗。个人旅途时间充裕的话，还是搭车的好，至少能帮助省点钱。今天我所走的路线。一进入小道不久就遇到前天晚上在Spruce Peak Shelter里碰见的来自波士顿的老者，看样子太累了，打算回家。Bromley Mt.是个滑雪场地。昨天还是个大晴天，可现正乌云密布，似乎又要下雨了。山顶附近的雪道。山顶上的缆车终点。山顶处为滑雪者提供的避难处。我在那儿避风处，小歇了一会。山顶附近的雪道。 山顶附近的雪道。我肯定这地方为私人拥有。Green Mountain Club与私人地皮拥有者达成协议，让徒步者无偿通行使用。快要走下山顶。注意那石柱上的识，阿帕拉契亚小道，向北。此处";长小道"依然与阿帕拉契亚小道共用一条线路。从Bromley Mt.下来前，前方天空的乌云。可能又是一个下雨天。下午两，三点钟的时候，天开始下起雨来了。我的脚昨天得到一个喘气的机会，加上我买了外用粉状消炎药，有好转的趋势，因此不想因受潮，再次将病情恶化。因离下一个避难所还远，我就开始琢磨在林子里找一片稍微平整的地方搭营露宿。二十多分钟后，终于找到了一个。没办法，山上地势崎岖，那地方距小道只有五，六米远。我才进帐篷，雨就下大了，侥幸逃过弄湿脚的厄运。我睡了个午觉，醒来没多久，听到外面的脚步声，便问谁在那里。那人回答我说他是Tully，一个我已经碰到过好几次的阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包客。我撩开帐篷，与他简短地讲了我的情况。他祝我病情早日恢复，并以后在另一个网络，他的日志里专门提到这个情节。天到傍晚的时候，天开始变得晴朗了。我的心稍微得到了些安慰。今天相对有更多的时间恢复，脚的病情肯定会好转，明天我就可以做更长距离。2009年8月27日当日起点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)当日终点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8里程数 21.0 英哩 (33.8 公里)天气 晴我今天脚上的感觉要比前几天好多了，用药和休息都促进了它们的康复。而我在体力上又借此恢复了不少。天气晴朗，小道上的积水消失得更快。我一路"飞奔"，想把前几天失去的时间给找回来。我今天的路程。我一大早从林中的营地起来，便来到Baker Peak。从上面可以看到山谷里的公路。实际上我昨天下午至晚上都能听见车辆的马达声。可惜，我拍的照片都曝光不足，对面山谷无法重现。途中的一条小溪。我想这是叫Big Branch溪。过Big Branch溪时的一座悬索桥，及小道指示牌。Little Rock Pond的景色。湖边高低不平的路面又一次地提醒了我的脚伤。Little Rock Pond Tenting Area看护员的营地。他们被Green Mountain Club所雇佣，照理这里的露营事宜。因为这里的使用率高，背包徒步者想搭帐篷的话，一定要到规定的平台去，而且要向看护人员缴费，大概$5吧!Little Rock Pond的另一端。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。在此，我碰见一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包客。大家寒喧了几句，互祝走运。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。昨天晚上露营地对面山谷向北的延伸。下面山谷里的机场是Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport。 Clarendon Gorge，Clarendon峡谷的下游。 它只是一个小峡谷。Clarendon峡谷的上游。我站在Clarendon峡谷的悬索桥上。美国有些大众娱乐的场所，基础设施惊人的好。佛蒙特州Rt. 103公路旁的一片草地。可见阿帕拉契亚小道的木质记，"A";字底下加个尾巴。这里要爬个相当陡峭的乱石堆。在这个时节，因气温高，我爬得慢，还被蚊子咬了不少口。Clarendon Shelter离这里已经不远了，一个小时不到的路程。我才到那避难所，就看见分别几天的阿帕拉契亚小道北行背包徒步者，Beam Man，和另两个人从旁走来。他们比我要快两天，正利用当地客栈的车辆，送他们作轻装徒步呢! 我安顿得比较早，在吃过完饭后不久，那个昨天傍晚在路边见到的Tully也来到了这个避难所。只不过他想休息一下，吃点东西，看好地图，然后继续上路。他可能在寻找一个非";官方"的捷径，因为这里人类开发的早，到处都有小径或道路。今晚我感到气温在下降，季节到了。2009年8月28日当日起点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8当日终点 Rt. 4, to Rutland, VT LT M.P. 104.2里程数 16.4 英哩 (26.4 公里)天气 阴我上路后没多久就发现，小道的地理与我资料书上的不一样，而且沿途好长一段没有路。所以我心里一直嘀咕，此时每分体力都十分宝贵，就怕爬得冤枉。到了山顶后才发现那白色的记，于是松了一口大气。我下山后就碰到这个走失在护栏外的小母牛。因为小道非常泥泞，我不远睬到泥里，再弄湿脚，但又顾虑从其旁边走过会惊吓她，而把我给弄翻在地上。于是就想方设法与那母牛沟通，让她腾出个地方，和干脆走开。我不断地发出声音。起先她有点紧张，但很快地就明白了我的意思，知道我只想从旁的石头上经过，就朝着我的方向小跑过来，到我的身后去了。我大喜，感激她没有把我给弄倒在泥泞不堪的地上。([]
