Na een paar dagen Los Angeles reizen we naar de Grand Canyon. Zowel de zuidelijke als de noordelijke kant vanwaar we doorgaan naar Las Vegas - Death Valley en via de prachtige Tioga Pass gaan we naar Yosemite Valley. Een aantal dagen Yosemite en we vertrekken via Grants Pass naar Linda en David waar we ook een aantal dagen gaan blijven. Als toetje gaan we via de Redwoods en langs de hele mooie highway 1 terug naar San Francisco via de Golden gate brug en dan weer naar huis. In totaal bijna 5 weken.

Dat komt omdat Arizona voor het grootste gedeelte niet mee doet aan de zomertijd. Zodoende valt die staat in de zomer ook onder de Pacific time zone. Alleen op onze kleine stukje reis door de staat Utah gaan we naar de Mountain time zone. Het verschil is dus bijna overal -9u. Als het in Nederland net ochtend is dan is het bij ons laat in de avond en moet de nacht nog beginnen. Hieronder een kleine tabel met tijdsverschillen. Tijdsverschillen Pacific tijd Nederlandse tijd 07.00 uur 16.00 uur 12.00 uur 21.00 uur 19.00 uur 04.00 uur 23.00 uur 08.00 uur ©Inge van der Wulp 4 Roadbook 2018 Zuid-west Amerika Dag 1 : 20 juli 2018 Amsterdam - San Francisco 5.40u Vliegen 8187 km, 10 uur, 55 minuten 20.26u ! ! We hebben 4 stoelen achterin de grote Boeing 747 van KLM. Na onderzoek blijkt dat wij zo zeer waarschijnlijk aan de goede kant zitten om over de Golden gate brug te vliegen als we de stad naderen (als er tenminste geen bewolking is). San Francisco staat bekend om zijn zeemist en bewolking. Ook midden in de zomer. Omdat we helemaal achterin zitten zullen we als één van de laatsten het vliegtuig verlaten en staan we ook achteraan in de rij bij immigration. Maar we hoeven de auto nog niet te halen en we hebben geen haast. Na immigration en koffers halen moeten we bellen naar het hotel. Zij hebben een gratis shuttle bus om ons naar het hotel te brengen. Omdat we een dag eerder vliegen dan de eerste planning was kunnen we de auto pas de volgende dag in de ochtend ophalen. We zullen het dus een middag zonder auto moeten doen. We zitten in een hotel dichtbij de luchthaven zodat we de volgende ochtend snel en makkelijk terug kunnen naar de Hertz auto verhuur. Die iets buiten het vliegveld ligt. Het hotel heeft een zwembad en het ligt in de buurt van winkels en restaurants. We kunnen dus de eerste middag even de nodige boodschappen doen bij de Safeway vlakbij het hotel (rugzak mee). Als we heel vroeg zijn en nog zin hebben kunnen we met de BART (trein) naar het centrum van San Francisco reizen. Het station ligt op ongeveer 18 minuten lopen vanaf het hotel. Onze outdoor spullen kunnen we de volgende dag op weg naar het hotel kopen bij REI in San Francisco.

Dat is bij phone: (415) 567-1200 deze niet anders. We hebben een kamer met z’n vieren. Opmerking bij reservering van het personeel: “back rooms are only available with King bed, for a quiet room with Dbl/Dbl request a room on the Buchanan Street side of the hotel”. Er is geen ontbijt. We gaan in de ochtend dus ontbijten bij één van de vele tentjes in de buurt. Er is een gratis parkeerplaats onder het hotel voor gasten. Lombard Street is een oost-west straat in San Francisco. De straat staat bekend als de meest bochtige straat van de wereld, hoewel dit slechts een klein stukje van de gehele straat betreft. Het stukje is slechts één huizenblok lang, maar telt acht scherpe haarspeldbochten. Vanuit ons hotel is het ongeveer 20 minuten lopen naar deze bekende straat. Je kunt er ook heen met de bekende Cable car. Je moet dan de Powel- Hyde route hebben. Achter Lombard street ligt Chestnut street met eetgelegenheden. * Het uitzicht vanaf bovenaan Hyde street is prachtig over de stad en Alcatraz. We kunnen het lopen of met de Cable car (route Powel-Hyde). Een enkele reis kost $7 pp en kun je bij de chauffeur betalen of via de app (zie onder) Openbaar vervoer in San Francisco is niet alleen de Cable car maar ook de bussen en zelfs een metro. Vanwege de vele hoogteverschillen in de stad is het wel verstandig om een dagkaart openbaar vervoer te kopen voor morgen. Die kost $21pp en kan ik aanschaffen op een app op mijn telefoon (Munimobile) Marina Supermarket Speciaal voor Marijn. Zo’n 600 meter de 2323 Chestnut St. SF straat in de andere kant op is een Verizon Wireless shop. Het adres is: 2300 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123. Daar kunnen IHOP (ook ontbijt) we misschien de volgende dag een 2299 Lombard St. SF wireless kaart halen voor in de iPad’s ©Inge van der Wulp 6 Roadbook 2018 Zuid-west Amerika Dag 3: 22 juli 2018 San Francisco 6.07u Stad bezoeken 20.24u ! ! * Afhankelijk van het weer kunnen we gaan fietsen of met het openbaar vervoer de stad bezoeken. In de straat van het hotel zit een fietsverhuur en we kunnen dan de Golden gate bridge over fietsen op weg naar de Battery Spencer. Dat is een uitzichtpunt aan de andere kant van de brug. Er is daar eigenlijk niet te parkeren dus de fiets lijkt de beste optie. Fietsverhuur kan per dag of per uur. In de ochtend hangt er vaak mist in de baai dus we kunnen dit ook in de middag doen.

  • Like Water for Water - the Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado a More Serious, Hardcore, and Reflective Trip Compared to That at Thirty-Two…
    Like Water for Water - The Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado A more serious, hardcore, and reflective trip compared to that at thirty-two… Left to Right: (top) views from South Rim, Nankoweap; (middle) Little Colorado, Unkar Delta sunset, 75-mile slot canyon; (bottom) edgy trail to Thunder River/Falls, first epiphany in Kanab Canyon, muddy and wet creek-slogging boots Introduction While traveling through Norway in too much style but with insufficient action this June, I knowingly longed for this trip - albeit with the equally knowing sense that I anticipated I would need to remind myself how much I wanted a more authentic wilderness experience when things - no doubt - became difficult or uncomfortable. Indeed, revisiting the Colorado almost ten years after my first trip was more challenging - although I did intentionally choose a longer and more difficult format trip. Ever since my first rafting trip down the Colorado, I knew I would repeat it; in fact, it remains a personal goal of mine to go down the Colorado at least once during every decade of my life - largely because I do appreciate how humbling the experience is at all levels (i.e. I don't think I would like myself as a person if I found myself unwilling to sustain this kind of serious camping). Given what was some unsatisfying stuff my first time (some of which I mildly alluded to in that report), I knew my second time had to be different. Said first trip, booked with OARS two years in advance, was supposed to have been a longer trip with a stronger hiking emphasis; unfortunately, OARS' permit situation evolved over the course of those two years - to the point that the ultimate, corresponding permit dates OARS received represented only a thirteen-day trip.

  • Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
    Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

  • Grand Canyon National Park
    Nationale Parken van Amerika @ www.ontdek-amerika.nl Last Update : 5 maart 2016 Grand Canyon National Park KORTE OMSCHRIJVING Grootte van het park : 4.927 vierkante kilometer Lengte van de Canyon : 446 kilometer Diepte van de Canyon : maximaal 1.829 meter Breedte van de Canyon : gemiddeld 16 kilometer, maximaal 29 kilometer Nationaal Park sinds : 26 februari 1919 Een van de bekendste Nationale Parken is de Grand Canyon in Arizona. Het wordt beschouwd als een van de zeven wereldwonderen der natuur. Miljoenen jaren geleden werd hier een deel van de aardkorst omhooggedrukt; daardoor ontstond het Colorado Plateau waar de Grand Canyon nu een onderdeel van is. De Colorado River heeft zich gedurende de laatste 6 miljoen jaar een weg gebaand door de rotslagen van het Colorado Plateau, waarbij het gesteente steeds verder werd (en nog steeds wordt) weggeslepen. Omdat elke rotslaag weer uit een ander soort gesteente bestaat, zijn de effecten van de kracht van het water overal verschillend. Hierdoor is een gecompliceerd stelsel van diepe, grillig gevormde ravijnen ontstaan. Behalve het water van de Colorado River hebben ook andere eroderende krachten, zoals vorst en de wind, veel invloed gehad. Het Nationale Park wordt door de kloof in twee helften verdeeld, die hemelsbreed maar 16 kilometer van elkaar zijn verwijderd. Maar als je met de auto van de zuidzijde (de South Rim) naar de noordzijde (de North Rim) wilt rijden, dan moet je een afstand van maar liefst 315 kilometer afleggen! Je kan de Grand Canyon bekijken vanaf de verschillende uitkijkpunten aan zowel de South Rim als de North Rim. Dit is vooral erg mooi als de zon opkomt of ondergaat, je ziet dan de prachtige kleuren in de ravijnwanden, die veroorzaakt worden door de aanwezigheid van mineralen.
