 总地图：

搬家的路线大概的设计好了， 计划是2周，行程3千多迈（5千公里），途径8个国家公园，10个州。这样一看，米国地图基本分成2瓣，一直斜穿过去。

这是期待已久的roud trip之一， 算是接着搬家实现了

其他几条很想走的路线

1.quebec--halifax-acadia-new england 观秋景，吃龙虾（基本是在我这搬家线的延长线上，覆盖美东北）

2.温哥华--阿拉斯加--北极  冬 or 夏 （一径向北，就不用说了）

3. thender bay--从加拿大穿越中部大平原--温哥华-banff-seattle- olympic np-冰川--黄石 春 （沿着美加边境走一圈）

4 加州1号公路 春or秋 （西海岸沿线）

5.东海岸沿线

这样，北美基本就搞定了，不知道能不能实现每年至少1条呢？

连看了一个月的野花,每周都出门hiking,都没有加州的reports里面那样的美景,忍受不了,本周末出门去加州赏花.

大概计划如下,今天下午先杀去joshua national park,争取日落前到,玩一会儿,在哪儿camping,然后第2天,沿路继续赏花,晚上到洛杉矶大吃大喝第3天,南下,继续赏花,然后路过圣地亚哥返回 结果......结果....居然出门前,农药ebay买的车车的遥控钥匙到了,那个遥控锁车的时候有点接触不良的样子,玩一圈居然把车车玩坏了!!!表现为没有电池的打不着火的状态,答答答的响,所有的指针都转到底又转回来,车子启动不了,用别的车电池也没办法启动....

我和当当都把所有camping/旅行需要的东西搬上车子了,居然出了这事!!!我们两正无奈的坐在车里等呢,农药万年不来上班的老板出现,农药赶紧抓住机会去meeting了,啥时候才能把车子修好上路阿啊啊啊阿阿阿!!!!!

郁闷的我只好在这里博....

贴几个野花的reports,要是看不到,我就....哭.....

March 9, 2008 Matt reports: Another weekend, another wildflower trip! This time, we were going to head straight for Joshua Tree National Park to see what everyone was raving about. Then the reports came in about Lake Elsinore so we added a huge detour to our trip. We were not disappointed! We came across some great patches of Lupine as we drove down the 57 from I-210, and then again along the 71. This stretch is very nice and green right now, and a great warm up for what was to come. Once on I-15, we began to see the orange glow of the poppies as we got closer to Lake Elsinore. We got off the freeway at the Diamond Drive exit, drove along Grape Street, and parked near Sedco Heights Drive. Here, we were treated to an incredible show of Poppies, Canterbury Bells, Wild Hyacinths (Blue Dick), Fiddleneck, Chia, Popcorn Flower, and a few others, including some very pretty blue flowers. We then made our way over to I-215 by way of Bundy Canyon Road, and continued on towards Joshua Tree. We took another detour down to Mecca, and proceeded to take the drive along Box Canyon Road. The Sand Verbena along this road was nice, but not quite as thick as at Amboy Crater. Still enough to smell though! We also spotted our first Desert Blazing Star, which turned out to be in good abundance further up the road. At another stop to see a huge patch of the Desert Dandelions, I went looking for a Desert Blazing Star to show someone else what it looked like, and ended up discovering a Ghost Flower instead! Poor thing was just inches from the pavement though, and will likely end up under somebody’s tire. Box Canyon Road was a great drive, with its abundance of flowers and neat rock formations. We finally made it into Joshua Tree, just as the sun was about to set behind the nearby mountains. We took the little nature trail just inside the park, and saw lots of the Arizona Lupine, Desert Poppies, Chia, and a surprising amount of Purple Mat. Further up the road we saw some large Desert Blazing Stars (20+ flowers on one plant), some blue Canterbury Bells, several Bladderpods, and even a few Bigelow Monkeyflowers! By the time we reached the Visitor Center, it was getting dark, so we turned around and did not get to see the rest of the park. Despite that, it was another incredible trip!

March 8, 2008 Susan reports: Lake Elsinore. The hill behind Walmart on Grape Street (I-15 Frwy and Railroad Canyon Road offramp). The hill is spectacular and covered with white, orange poppies, purple and blue. It is thick with flowers. All along Railroad Canyon Road between the I-15 Frwy and Canyon Lake the orange poppies are in full bloom. The hills are orange. Good access points are on the turnout for the water treatment plant and going up from the parking lot at the intersection of RR Cnyn Rd and Canyon Hills (light) by the Chevron station. Poppies are spectacular along the I-15 from Corona through Wildomar on the east side. A good turn off point is Lake Street. Follow the road that parallels the freeway south about ¼ mile. There is a thickly covered hill with easy access there.

March 5, 2008 Charity reports: Just thought you would like to know that there are a ton of flowers blooming right now in Lake Elsinore along Interstate 15. The hillsides are covered with California Poppies, in fact there are so many the hillsides have turned bright gold. There are also many Canterbury Bells, Chia, Lupines, Phacelia, Fiddleneck, and many others. Many of these flowers can be found right next to the road on Grape Street, which paralells the freeway just south of the Diamond Drive exit. It's been a few years since the bloom was this good. I am sending along a few photos as well. Also the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in Murrieta is blooming right now as well, with lupines, ground pink, shooting stars, chocolate lilies, california poppies, blue dicks, johnny jump ups, goldfields, milk maids and many others.

March 4, 2008 Matt reports: We paid another visit to Amboy Crater on Sunday March 2, and were once again treated to an incredible show. We began to notice yellow flowers along National Trails Highway a few miles west of the turnoff for the crater. Closer inspection revealed that they were mostly the Yellow Cups, with some nice Purple Phacelia mixed in. Once at the crater, the Desert Sunflowers were once again magnificent, probably even more so that last week. They are definitely at or near their peak. At the base of the crater just beyond the bench, there was also a nice display of the Desert Lilies, which are now beginning to bloom. We also found several of the Desert Five Spots within a couple hundred feet of the bench, both up the hill and in the small wash nearby. There was one Five Spot bush that must have had 20 flowers open at once, and many more to come! We found more Five Spots inside the crater (didn't see the white one though) and climbed all the way to the rim to enjoy the view from up there. At the top, we discovered that most of the green covering the side of the crater was actually Rock Daisies, which were also blooming in large numbers. Some smaller Purple Phacelia were also blooming in several places around the rim of the crater. Amboy Crater was so enjoyable that we spent longer than we had anticipated there, and didn't have enough time to visit Joshua Tree National Park. We did continue south along Amboy Road to 29 Palms, stopping at some of the places we had the week before. The Arizona Lupine through Sheep Hole Pass is still looking good, but definitely beginning to fade a little bit. Along the East/West section of Amboy Road, there is still plenty of the Sand Verbena and Dune Evening Primrose to be seen. It was another enjoyable trip though!

ps2 今天是俺们5年纪念日了,活活

自从手拿一本GUIDEBOOK就自身走遍法国,我对这样小小一本书所包含的有用信息刮目相看。

对比了很多家公司的guidebook，我比较喜欢的依然是insight guides系列，这就是我去法国用的那本，让我对本来一无所知的法国一下子了解：什么地方值得一去，各是什么样的风光。然后我根据自己会对什么类型的景点有兴趣制定了旅行路线。然而，计划永远不如变化快，每次随心所欲的改行程，也是因为一书在手，心中有数了：）

这本法国的guidebook是我在爱丁堡的时候和西班牙的那本一起买下的，好像才2磅左右，很便宜，现在极度后悔当时没都买下来

在uk的时候，从来没想过买uk的guidebook,因为遍地都是information center，出门也是有目的而行，基本上是每次旅行1-2个城市，所以事先功课也做得比较透彻，guidebook那样粗略的信息反而显得不够了。不过，很多时候，因为总是和别人一起出门，往往都不用我做预习，比如台湾姐姐总是预习的比我好，知道各地值得看的景点，也比如有当地的朋友在，带着玩~

这本guidebook是当时的室友日本mm走的时候留下的，我作为纪念保留了，lonely planet的，好处在于旅馆什么的信息都有，缺点就是全黑白，没有图，看起来比较闷，光凭文字也不能判断自己会不会有兴趣

这几本是最近在amazon上买的，今天刚刚到：）dk出版的eyewitness travel guides和insight guides各有千秋，但是感情因素，我更偏向后者，不过大概是因为美国太大的关系, insight guides USA有很多本，而dk就有这样的一本，虽然说这样子可能不够详细，但是对于作长途旅行来说，还是1本的更方便，而且所选的景点也肯定更精华，再说了到了各个地方还可以去aaa要免费的资料和地图的嘛~~曾经和农药设想过，假设开车环游美国，恐怕得在后排做上装个书架，否则光这些资料，地图，guidebook就会堆满后座的

同时还买了加拿大的一本^^~~

国家地理的书如想象中般的好，对于全美这么多state park的介绍足够挑出喜欢的了，不然一个州好几十个state park要去到哪个年头才能去完阿~~

还有这个

对于火车旅游很有用的

嘿嘿，可以美美的研究上一阵子了~~农药说，他可以做沙发旅行了，哈~~
