Juicy Car Road Trip: Arizona-Utah-Colorado-New Mexico

Hey!

High time to catch up on some trips from last year.

Continuing our Juicy Car road trip we drove up to Colorado and Utah to see some nice places.

We didn't do any hiking because our trip was more like camping, but still the views were breathtaking.

Enjoy!

Czas najwyzszy nadrobic zaleglosci z zeszlego roku.

Czesc nastepna tripa po kanionach.

Nasz wypad mial charakter bardziej rekreacyjno wypoczynkowy niz wspinaczkowy, ale widoki mowia same za siebie.

Jedziemy!

 Let's stop here and let me tell you a quick story.

So we're in the middle of nowhere.

A bunch of ladies.

And you know, from time to time, us girls need more bathroom stops than gentleman do.

But we're driving and driving, miles and miles.

There's nothing.

All of the sudden we see this place with ridiculously overpriced gas.

Fortunately we had plenty of gas.
Unfortunately our personal tanks were quite full too.
So we stopped and walked inside.

And there is this lady who looked like someone straight out of some cheap horror movie.

We're about to order some non alcohol drinks and refresh a bit when we get a closer glimpse of her.

She's old and creepy.

And...her hands...I mean...there was something seriously wrong with the place.
I usually never make fun of injured people, but what I saw creeped me out.
We gave each other terrified looks, and just then we see a group of old zombie looking people coming inside.
I looked around and saw some weird furniture and an old refrigerator too.
All I could think about was some horror film, and we were about to be the victims.
'Let's get out of here'- I whisper, and as quick as we came in we're spinning out and getting out of there.


Zatrzymajmy sie na chwile, zebym mogla Wam opowiedziec pewna historie z dreszczykiem.
Wiec jestesmy po srodku niczego.
Same kobitki.
A wiecie jak to z kobitkami, lazienka jest obowiazkowym przystankiem srednio, co jakas godzine.
Dobra zartowalam, troszke rzadziej.
Mija mila za mila, a my nadal jestesmy po srodku niczego.
I nagle wylania sie to oto miejsce, rodem z horroru, po srodku niczego, z najdrozsza cena benzyny, jaka kiedykolwiek widzialam.
Na szczescie bak jest pelny.
Zatrzymujemy sie na pustym parkingu i wchodzimy do srodka.
I nagle znajdujemy sie w rzeczywistosci taniego horroru.
Zastanawiajac sie nad czyms do picia lub jakas przekaska, dostrzegamy za lada starsza pania.
Niemila, pomarszczona i w podeszlym wieku.
I...nagle spogladajac na jej dlonie przeszywa mnie zimny dreszcz.
I... nie chodzi tutaj o robienie zartow z ludzi poszkodowanych w wypadkach.
Trudno opisac to co zobaczylam, ale szturchajac Darie w ramie i widzac strach w jej oczach, uznalam, ze czas najwyzszy ewakuowac sie z tego miejsca.
W tym samym czasie otwieraja sie drzwi i do srodka wchodza dziwnie wygladajacy starsi ludzie, a ja coraz bardziej czuje sie jak w tanim horrorze.
Rozgladajac sie dookola zauwazamy dziwnie wygladajace lodowki i stare meble.
"Spadamy"- mamroce pod nosem, ale na tyle glosno by uslyszaly mnie Alex i Daria.
I tak szybko jak sie tu pojawilysmy, tak szybko odjezdzamy z piskiem opon i klebkiem kurzu za Juicy Carem.

Powyzej na obrazku widzimy jak mozna dorobic sie $$ kupujac pustostan, gdzies na koncu niczego.
A wiec kupujemy ziemie(z reguly za niewielkie pieniazki) i jezeli mamy szczescie znajdujemy rope.
Montujemy takie o to cos, ktore sie kiwa, pompuje ropke, a my zgarniamy monety.
Otaczamy teren plotem, bo co nasze to nie panstwa.
Nikt nie ma prawa wstepu, bo jak cos to wystawiamy giwere.
Najlepszym przykladem jest Pan co chodzi boso przez swiat.

 Four Corners Monument

Placed in Navajo Park, on the corner of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado.

The one and only place where four states intersect at one point so as you can see, you can be in four places at the same time.

It's situated in the middle of nowhere so when you're going there, make sure you check what time it closes.

(We didn't check and ended up having to come back the next day)

Admission: $5

Jak znalezc sie w 4 miejscach w jednym czasie?
Wystarczy odwiedzic Four Corners Monument, ktory znajduje sie na granicy stanow: Arizony, Utah, Nowego Meksyku i Kolorado na ziemi nalezacej do Indian Navajo.
Miejsce znajduje sie posrodku niczego, wiec nalezy pamietac o sprawdzeniu godzin otwarcia, zeby nie pocalowac zamknietej bramy tak jak my.
Na szczescie udalo nam sie wrocic nastepnego dnia.
Wejscie kosztuje $5.

 When we reached Colorado (in shorts!!!) we were unpleasantly surprised by the snow.

Kiedy dotarlysmy do stanu Kolorado zastal nas snieg, na ktory totalnie nie bylysmy przygotowane, paradujac w szortach.

 Canyon Lands

Bryce National Park

Success in climbing up some 'windows'.

Nie bylabym soba, gdybym nie wdrapala sie na jedno z popularnych "okien".

Arches National Park

We were startled by the snow up in Utah so we ended up crashing on a big bed in a motel instead of camping and freezing to death.

W naszym planie nie bylo miejsca na snieg, ktory zaskoczyl nas w Utah wiec zdecydowalysmy sie wynajc pokoj czy tez jedno wielkie lozko, zeby nie marznac na kempingu.

Zax Restaurant

 96 S Main St, Moab, UT 84532

Pay $12 and eat as much as you can: soup, pizza, and salad.
I was pleasantly surprised by the creamy beer soup - there's a first time for everything!

Miejsce, gdzie za $12 mozna jesc ile wlezie: zup, pizzy i salatek.
Po raz pierwszy mialam okazje sprobowac zupy piwnej, ktorej kremowy smak milo mnie zaskoczyl.

But wait! You can not smell when you're dreaming.

I lift up my head, and I listen.

'It's just the rain, go back to sleep.' 

So it's morning.

I can hear the drops dancing on the roof.

Rain during the drought can not sound better.

OK - Time to catch you up!

Food: Food:


From any place I try to outsource some culinary experience.
Alicante lessons gave me quite a good vegetable diet.
I intentionally did not I use here the term: Veganism, because it deals not only resign from eating meat, fish and seafood, dairy products, eggs, Milk and milk, but also eliminate all other animal products from different aspects of life.
Thanks to this blog will appear different experiments associated with vegetable cooking and their beneficial influence on our health and fitness.
During his stay in Alicante I decided to eat according to vegetable diet.
The word diet does not mean here diet, which is aimed at losing weight whether any fasting.
Diet is a different way of nutrition.
And I like experiments.
Those who know me know what quantity of food I am able to absorb :) *** I try to experience every place from the culinary perspective. Alicante taught me a lot about vegan cooking. I will try to use the term plant based diet because true veganism involves abstaining from the use of all animal products, Following the philosophy of rejecting animal suffering. Instead, a plant Focuses diets based on eating food from plants: fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and non-dairy alternatives. And staying away from: meat, milk, eggs, honey, fish, seafood, and every food product coming from animals. Believe it or not but it actually gives me lots of variety for cooking and still satisfies my cravings. I'm not a vegan, but I'm still trying to sneak some good ideas into everyday eating. I like to experiment, so different recipes Involving a plant based diet will be posted here on my blog. Along with the health benefits coming from it. While staying in Aliante I tried to fully follow the plant based diet. Do not associate with losing weight diets or starving. Diet is simply a different way of life, and I like experiments. All that said, everybody knows how much I can eat :)
