Chapter 919: The loneliness of the passing of time



Yunluo found out from the Internet that the sunrise time in Grand Teton was 6:15 in the morning. In order to find a location earlier, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu got up from the camp at 5:30. The recent climate was so dry that no dew could be seen even in the early morning. The dry and cold sneakers on the dry and cold feet quickly got used to each other.

The surrounding campsites were still sleeping quietly, and occasionally you could see some scattered night lights on some RVs. I always felt proud to get up early for the sunrise, proud that I was going to experience the moment that they would miss, and proud that I didn't let laziness stop me from appreciating beauty.

The place Yunluo and Yan Chenyu chose to watch the sunrise was Oxbowbend, not far from the campsite, about a twenty-minute drive from their tent.

Oxbowbend is located at the bend of a small river. This bend, together with the surrounding reeds and a small hill in the distance, forms a classic landscape. It should be emphasized that the so-called sunrise that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu want to watch is not to watch the sun rise from the horizon from afar, but to appreciate the mountain peaks that are illuminated by the first rays of sunlight in the morning and turned pink.

Oxbowbend is easy to find. It is on the right side of the main road that runs through Grand Teton from north to south. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived here, they found that there were already three or four photography enthusiasts setting up their tripods and ready to go. Yunluo also found a good angle with them and set up his relatively cheap tripod.

The sky began to slowly brighten. The hills in the distance were still a cold, dark blue color. The lake was calm without a ripple. The straight reeds and the dark forest stood motionless. Yunluo felt that the entire earth was holding its breath, waiting for that sacred beam of light.

At about 6:17, the top of the mountain began to light up. This magnificent sunrise officially kicked off. From the top to the mountainside, the mountain immediately became hot, and even the air around the mountain seemed to feel the power of the sun and became brighter and more vivid.

As the sun rises, a thin layer of water vapor appears on the water surface. The hazy feeling is like the finishing touch that makes the sunrise scene more vivid. Yun Luo admires the incredible scenery in front of him while pressing the shutter again and again to record the transformation from night to dawn.

But the camera can never record this kind of shock perfectly. Only with your eyes can you truly feel this low-key and gorgeous performance. And this low-key performance contains a huge and indescribable power. It's like a giant is quietly waking up.

The visual feast came to an end as the sky gradually brightened, and the entire Grand Teton began its normal day after this grand appearance ceremony. This sunrise allowed Yunluo to take many wonderful photos, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were once again glad that they did not sleep in.

There will be few such scenes in a lifetime, so every time you experience it, you should cherish it as if it were your last. Today's weather is still sunny and dry, and the gradually rising temperature reminds Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu that it is still summer.

After returning to the camp from Oxbowbend, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu simply washed up and prepared to start a new day's journey. Yunluo had mentioned before that the best time to visit Grand Teton is in the morning, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu didn't want to waste the few hours when the sun was still in the east. <(Every national park has such a panoramic view that overlooks Jenny Lake.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu thought that since the most beautiful sections were on the other side of the lake, there was no need to spend so much time hiking, so they bought a round-trip boat ticket to the other side. On Jenny Lake, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could better appreciate the green mountains and clear waters around them. It was a beautiful scene with clear waters and lush greenery.

The beautiful Grand Teton left Yunluo with a very good impression. Any scene that came to Yunluo's mind was picturesque and beautiful. Yunluo didn't understand why many tourists only stayed in this park for a few hours before leaving. Yunluo couldn't enjoy such scenery even if he stayed for a week.

This route goes straight from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. There are streams and small waterfalls everywhere on the road, and the walk is not monotonous at all. It took Yunluo and Yan Chenyu more than an hour to get here. The suddenly widened view shocked Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a little.

From this viewing point, you can overlook the beauty of Jenny Lake and the majesty of the Teton Mountains in the distance, which is refreshing.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu planned to spend the afternoon in a lazy camping spot. They would take a nap in the tent, wash the dirty clothes they had accumulated over the past few days, grill a steak, and watch the sunset by the lake next to the tent. This relaxing afternoon was also worth remembering under the theme of leisure.

There was no chill in the tent in the afternoon, and the hot air made Yun Luo wake up in a hurry. A few bees had been coming to greet them since last night, and today they came to buzz around their ears again when they saw Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu returning from their trip.

Well, they won't leave. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu left, carrying a large basket of clothes to the laundry room of the service center. The washing machines here are very large and advanced, and can easily hold a week's worth of clothes for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu.

While waiting for the laundry to be done, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also met an old American man who spoke fluent Chinese. He had spent more than ten years in Taiwan, making a living by preaching and teaching. After returning to the United States, he and his wife moved to Colorado, bought an RV to travel around and enjoy their old age. Yunluo was very inspired by them and decided to do the same when he was old.

Today's barbecue went much more smoothly. With yesterday's experience, we were able to complete everything from making the barbecue to eating the meat in one go and fill our stomachs before dark.

After eating the barbecue, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went to Jackson Lake next to the camp to enjoy the sunset. Yunluo was very grateful to the old man who checked Yunluo and Yan Chenyu in and gave Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a camping spot so close to the lake. They could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains in just three minutes' walk.

The sunset in Grand Teton feels completely different from the sunrise. At sunrise, you can appreciate the brilliant colors, while at sunset, you can experience the quiet warmth.

The two-night camping life in Grand Teton came to an end. After getting up in the morning, I started to clean up this few square meters of "hotel". Two days of outdoor life produced a lot of garbage, and Yunluo packed up a full garbage bag. Since I had "rehearsed" how to quickly pack up the tent before coming here, I was able to restore this land to its original state relatively efficiently.

The next important issue was taking a shower. This was the third day that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had not showered. On the first day, they were too lazy to shower because they were tired from the journey and the barbecue was already dark, so they wanted to wash off the barbecue smell after eating the barbecue on the second day, but the water heater in the bathroom was broken.

It was unknown when it would be repaired, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could only try their luck again this morning. Yunluo's hair was so hairy that flies could split it, and the grease accumulated on her body could pass for three pounds of weight. She really couldn't stand not taking a shower.

But thank God when I went to the bathroom again today, the old lady inside said that hot water was available. I couldn't help laughing when I saw Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's miserable looks and their eager eyes for a bath.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The shower area of ​​this campsite is well designed. There is a small compartment outside each shower room for changing clothes, and the hot water is hot enough to fully dispel the coldness of the body after a night of freezing. After taking a shower, Yunluo felt refreshed and walked briskly. It felt like even the air was sweet. It was so refreshing. If I hadn't taken this shower, I wouldn't have had enough fun today.

Today's morning itinerary is still Grand Teton, and in the afternoon we will go straight to Yellowstone. After two days of traveling back and forth in the park, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have almost appreciated the scenery of Grand Teton. On the last day, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu want to stop at the scenic spots along the way to take some photos, and if they are lucky, they can see some wild animals.

The last place Yunluo and Yan Chenyu wanted to go was the famous granary in Grand Teton - it wasn't because of this granary that it was famous, but because the classic picture formed by this granary and the mountains behind it has been on countless postcards and travel magazines, making this small granary the target of every tourist.

After visiting this granary, your trip to Grand Teton is officially over. I won't say much about the scenic spots, each of which has a clear sign on the roadside. You can turn into the parking lot and get off to enjoy the view without having to walk any mountain roads.

The granary was hard to find. The map given at the park entrance did not indicate its location. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had to ask the park's management staff before they could locate it on the map.

But the hard detour was not in vain. Before approaching the granary, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu enjoyed the scene of a large group of North American bison eating lunch. They were only a few meters away from Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's car, but they completely ignored Yunluo and Yan Chenyu who were eating grass comfortably. (To be continued...)
