세계에서 "가장 큰 작은 도시"를 내세우고 있는 Reno시는, California에서 한시간 거리이고, 주민들은 오히려 카지노를 운영하기 위한 소수에 불과하고, 낯밤을 가리지 않고 거리를 메꾸고 있는것은 모두가 돈 많은 California사람들이다.

On the 1st. day of the trip, we stayed the 1st. night in Reno City, which claims themselves "The Biggest Little City in the World". Most people in Reno City streets are rich Californians visiting and there are not too many population of Nevada people who operate casinos.

이 여행의 둘쨋날, San Francisco와 New York을 잇는 미국의 동서횡단 고속도로인 80번 도로를 달리디가, Nevada주의 한 휴계소에서 불고기를 구어 먹고, 다시 출발하려 하면서 찍은 사진으로, 이 여행에서 사용한 Ford의 Station Wagon이 보인다. 이차는 이때에 약 10,000Km 밖에 뛰지 않은 새차였다.

On the 2nd. day of the trip, we were just about to continue the trip of the Highway 80 to cross the U.S.A. from San Francisco to New York, after BBQ lunch at a rest area in Nevada state. The Ford Station Wagon is seen here which was a new car driven only about 10Km at this time.

몰몬교의 본산인 Utah주의 수도 Salt Lake City시에 있는 몰몬사원의 낮과 밤. Salt Lake City옆에는 암염(岩鹽)으로 생긴 아주 넓은 염수호수가 있어, 암염을 많이 생산한다.

Salt Lake City에서 80번도로를 빠져나와, 조금 남쪽으로 가서, 80번도로와 평행으로 가는 40번도로를 가면, Colorado주에 들어서기 직전에 이 국립공용(恐龍)유적지가 있다. 여기에는 옛 공용들의 화석이, 벽에 벽화 처럼 있어서, 옛 공용들의 모습을 상상해 볼수 있는곳이다.

If you get out of Highway 80 and drive little to south, you will hit the Highway 40 which runs in parallel to Highway 80. If you continue to drive Highway 40 to east, you will see this Dinosaur National Monument right before Colorado state. Here are fossils of old dinosaurs on the wall and you can imagine the life of dinosaurs in olden times.

Colorado주에서 북으로, 대통령의 석상이 산위의 바위에 조각된 유명한 Mt. Rushmore를 찾아가는 도중에, 우연히 이곳을발견하여 한동안 놀다가 떠났다. 이곳은 TV만화로 어린이들에 대인기였든 Flinston의 Bedrock City로 석기시대와 20세기가 뒤섞인 만화의 시설물들을 그대로 재생시킨 애들의 놀이터였다.

On the way to north looking for the Mountain Rushmore which is famous by the statues of 4 presidents faces, we found accidentally this "Bedrock City" which has been so popular on TV and spent quite a time looking around this very fun play ground. Mr. Flinston and his friend with their family in a city of this stone age and modern 20th. century mixed carton society, provided great fun to spend time for kits.

Mt. Rushmore에서 Chicago를 향하여 90번도로를 달리다보면 Badland국립공원을 지난다. 이름그대로 사막도 Canyon도 아니고 나무도 안자라는 이런땅이 한국의 경상도 전체만큼이나 넓게 계속되는데 이것도 국립공원중에 하나이다.

If you drive Highway 90 to east from Mt. Rushmore to Chicago, you can pass "Badland National Park". Just as the name indicates, this is really a bad land. It is quite big as Kyongsangdo in Korea. It is not a desert nor a canyon. However, no tree grows there at all, though this is one of the "National Park".

When we approach to Chicago, we visited Mrs. Sooja Nehrlich (Cho) who is the junior of Jane at Ehwa Women's University. She was the 4th. woman ham radio operator in Korea with the call sign of HM1CC, while Jane was the first woman ham with call sigh of HM1AM.

We visited Medical Dr. Young-Min Lee in Chicago too, who was a classmate of D. I. at Chongju High School. He moved to U.S. as soon as he graduated Medical School of Seoul National University and became Korean Medical Doctor. He has his medical office near-by in Chicago.

Chicago 남쪽의 South Bend에 사는 헌구(사촌형님의 아들)네 집에서 수십년만에 재회.

It was a busy day and we went to South Bend at south of Chicago as the last stop of the day. There, we met our aunt, mother of my cousin Hun-Koo Cho, after we met several decades ago in Chong-San, Korea, where I was born and grown for elementary school, long long time ago.

Chicago에서 동북쪽으로 달려 나이아가라폭포로가서, 당시 Canada의 Toronto에 살든 동현누나가족과 만났다. 원래 나이아가라는 Canada쪽 경치가 더 좋다고하여, 국경을 건느려 했었는데, 마침 영주권을 신청해놓고 대기중인 상태여서, 국경의 이민국직원의 "당신네들은 외국인이니까 나가는것을 막을수는 없지만, 영주권을신청하면 갖고있든 체류VISA는 즉시 무효가되고, 영주권 대기중의 신분으로 미국에 있는것인데, 영주권 대기중에는 나가면 못돌아온다"는말에 Canada로 가지를못하고, 누나네가 미국쪽으로와서 함께만났다.

We drove from Chicago to Niagara Falls to see the famous falls and meet my sister who lived in Toronto, Canada, at that time. I was told the Niagara is more beautiful at Canada side and I tried to cross the bridge to Canada side. However, at that time, we have applied the permanent resident visa of U.S. and stayed in U.S. with this application without visa legally. When I went to immigration officer at the bridge and asked permission to cross the bridge just for a few hours, the officer said "You are foreigners and we can not stop you to cross to Canada. However, as you are under the application of permanent visa now without legal visa, I can not allow you to come back to U.S.A. once you leave U.S.A.." What a great statement. He didn't say we can not go out to Canada but said we can not come back!! What is the difference? As the result, we could not go to the Canada but my sister's family came to U.S.A. side to meet us in U.S.A..

나이아가라에서 서북쪽으로 더 올라가, Syracuse에 사는 Jane의 학교 동창 감영해여사집을 찾아가 그집에서일박.

After the Niagara, we drove to east to Syracuse to visit Mrs. Young-Hae Kim, a classmate of Jane.
We stayed one night at her house and drove down to Columbus from there on the next day.
