Hot times- Direction San Francisco California









After a few miles with curved roads, we drove for many hours on flat land passing by small indigenous villages leaving behind all the bad weather and finding a blue sky and a lot of sunshine. By early morning we drove on way to the parks; most famous of all USA (Yellowstone National Park) seeing a very rich fauna, several animals, which many of them never seen by us.
There were several places where boiling water was coming out of the earth. We started riding to a higher area in the park in search of a camping area, fun enough we began to observe that the higher we got the cold it was; still we could see a lot of snow between the trees. We drove until we found a camp where we stopped and tried to stay however it was full like all others camping site inside the park. We did not had a choice, we had to ride for few more miles and stay in a camping outside of the park where it was full of mosquitoes and bears ,while Elenice went to check I could see how people was annoyed with the mosquitoes because was too many around .
The next day we left early towards Salt Lake City through beautiful roads. The more we went towards south the hotter it was getting. We arrived at Salt Lake City which reminded us the bad side of a big City; traffic jam, pollution and very noisy etc.
After few days travelling for only small towns we were again in a very big and hot City. When we entered the city center, we were crazy to leave as quickly as possible. I changed the route to San Francisco in California, to get out of Salt Lake by the route 6 and 50 considered the most solitary road of all USA. After driving for hours we passed by strong winds, sand storms and very solitary areas , sometimes staying for up to 40 minutes without passing by any car, only by some petrol station like old west style and some cities where had plenty casinos which was already in the state of Nevada where gambling is 100% unrestricted .
We drove through the desert of the states of Utah and Nevada and arrived at Sam Francisco California.
