Chapter 891 Grand Canyon

This time, I bought five brand new civilian Hummers from Hummer dealers.

Sitting in the car, Han Xuan could clearly feel that it was much smaller than the bulletproof military Hummer sent to the Snow Mountain Ranch at Warren Air Force Base, but the comfort was greatly increased and it was more suitable for long-distance travel.

It was still dark when we set out, and there was a light on the horizon.

Leaving Las Vegas, you will enter the endless Gobi Desert and the desert. There are very few vehicles on the road, which makes Han Xuan feel that he wants to drive the car to the end of the world.

When people travel, they are more like poets than usual...

After a night of heat dissipation, when I opened the car windows in the morning, I could still feel the temperature was a little cold.

Because of insufficient light, looking out the window, it was pitch black and I couldn't enjoy the scenery.

Han Xuan suppressed his sleepiness, raised his arms and covered his mouth and dozed, and helped Anya, who had her head resting on her legs to sleep, covered her blanket.

In Las Vegas, she didn't take her to play well. This trip to Grand Canyon Park was more to make the girl happy, so Han Xuan decided to temporarily change her itinerary.

After driving on the endless Gobi Desert for more than half an hour.

The voice of a temporary hired tour guide came from the intercom, and he said, "You will pass by the Hoover Dam in front. Do you want to go there and take a look?"

The name Hoover Dam is mentioned in almost every book describing the history of the 20th century in the United States.

During the Great Depression at the beginning of this century, US President Hoover decided to build the reservoir in order to promote the development of the southwest and resolve the difficulties brought about by the Great Depression.

The project lasted four years and used more than 5,000 workers. After completion, it became the largest power generation facility and concrete structure in the world at that time, and is still the largest reservoir in the United States.

Interestingly, since the dam spans two states Nevada and Arizona, the time difference between the dam is one hour.

“Do you need to take a detour?

If it's too far, forget it. It's better to hurry up while the weather is cool now. The sun will be very hot later."

Han Xuan picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the tour guide and said.

“It’s very close to the main road and won’t go too far.

Most tourists who go to Grand Canyon Park from Las Vegas will go to the Hoover Dam to see it, and the scene is spectacular."

Han Xuan heard that it was not far away, so he decided to go there for a walk...

The so-called viewing of the Hoover Dam probably means passing by the dam in the night, not even getting off the car, and then continuing to get on the road.

Sometimes, the journey to the attractions is more interesting than the attractions themselves.

When dawn came, the Gobi Desert was covered with golden color.

On the red desert on the roadside, there were scenes of some half-person bushes growing in front of them.

Han Xuan randomly found a roadside in the middle to solve the physiological problems caused by the bladder being compressed.

During this period, I slept for a while, and when I woke up, the scene outside the window had changed.

On both sides are exposed and weathered stone walls, and the roads are winding through them.

The stone wall is red in color, and a few grasses grow on it. Perhaps due to lack of water, the color is yellow and seems to be about to die.

Jason in the driver's seat was asking the tour guide through the intercom: "Is there a gas station in front?

The fuel tank is about to bottom out."

The tour guide replied: "There is a rest stop a few kilometers away, where you can refuel.

We have arrived within the Grand Canyon of Colorado and we have more than ten minutes to get to the parking lot.

The temperature outside is very high at noon. I suggest you buy a few umbrellas to block the sun and then go into the canyon to play."

Han Xuan was still confused and sweated. Now the car air conditioner has a weak cooling capacity and the car is very stuffy.

Seeing Anya helping to fan the air with a fan, she smiled and asked her, "How long have we been going?"

“More than four hours.

I really admire you, I can fall asleep even if I bumped like this."

"I wrote the movie outline last night and went to bed after twelve o'clock, and I was a little sleepy."

Han Xuan twisted his sore neck, picked up the water bottle and drank a few sips of water. Only then did he feel a little more comfortable, and his body became dehydrated in the desert without realizing it.

"Did you talk about yesterday, "The Expendables"?" Anya asked him curiously.

"Um.

I thought of a good idea.

You think there is a group of terrorists who drove a plane to collapse the Gemini Building in Manhattan, New York.

Then the US government issued a sky-high reward, and these mercenaries were also involved and formed a suicide squad, which triggered a series of stories.

How about this idea?”

"Flying a plane crashed into the World Trade Center?

I think it would be very handsome when I shoot it, I like it!"

Jason laughed. He had participated in real wars before and had an inexplicable favor for such movies.

Then he said, "Remember to give me a shot. I can play the villain and fight Stallone or Schwarzenegger."

“Let’s talk about it then.

If I have time, I want to go to the crew to watch them film…”

I successfully arrived at the entrance to the north of the Colorado Grand Canyon, and the Hummer I just bought was covered in dust.

Park the car at a designated location, and there are many tourists around.

When he opened the door and got out of the car, a heat wave came, and the sudden high temperature made Han Xuan feel dizzy.

The temperature is about 38 degrees Celsius, and the air is dry, and it is only in the morning. It is hard to imagine what the temperature will be like when it is at the highest at 2:00 pm.

The cactus on the roadside is dry and thin, with yellow flowers on the top of the green torso covered with small thorns.

Turn your sight to the distance, there are too many strange peaks and cliffs and stone pillars in various shapes. The most distinctive thing is that their color changes.

Due to the nature of the canyon rocks and the different minerals contained in it, they appear different colors under the sunlight.

For example, iron ore will appear colorful, other oxides will be dim tones, and quartz will appear white, making the canyon rock wall a huge palette, dazzling and beautiful.

After hundreds of millions of years of geological changes, the strange scenes that people see today have formed.

With the flames in front of them, they didn't have the time to watch them well. They just wanted to find a place to hide from the hot sun.

I went to the air-conditioned store to buy some essential supplies, put them in several backpacks, and were carried by the bodyguards.

Han Xuan wore a hat and sunglasses, held a black parasol in his hand, and shook the fan in his other hand.

He looked at the sunlight outside the store and said as if he accepted his fate: "Let's go!

The temperature will be higher later. When I come to the Grand Canyon in the summer, I am afraid that my mind has been blocked by the door. I feel that it is better to come in autumn or winter."

“That’s right.

The scenery to the north of the Grand Canyon is actually not as beautiful as the south. The terrain is even higher, but it takes two more hours to drive.

If you are interested, you can walk from the north to the south, with a total length of more than 400 kilometers.

Many tourists will do this, and there are more than 200 recharge points along the way, so don’t worry about accidents…” (To be continued.)
