    Pittsburgh - Seattle 搬家行 5

    风雪过后总有晴天。我们又一次登上四总统山,这一次,看到了总统们的脸 - 比想象中的小吧。

    下一站是藏在黑山中的小镇Deadwood。这个小镇在淘金热时期是个热闹的地方,留下了好多著名的名字,Deadwood Nick, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane... 这些都是博物馆抄来的,本人没看过几部西部片,也没看过HBO的drama Deadwood,呵呵。意外的发现Deadwood最早的一批移民中有中国人,做进出口生意的,而且成为当地的富豪,写进小镇的历史了。有一条路就是以其中一个中国人的姓Lee冠名的。

    当年的Deadwood挤满了矿工,淘金者,赌棍,妓女,和其他放弃了过去的一切到大西部来发掘梦想的人们。现在的Deadwood还有不少赌场,也许旅游旺季时还很繁华,但是这个时节,只是座安安静静的小城。
    出了黑山,沿着尘土飞扬的US14去看Devils Tower - 一座1267英尺(320米)高的火山,被千万年风雨冲刷成的一座奇妙的纪念碑,高高耸立在平原上。这座碑在印第安人眼中是圣神的,在我们看来也是。造物主真有双无比奇妙的手。

    出了South Dakota, 进入Wyoming, 沿途是大片大片的牧场和山丘,少有人烟。这么多座山哪一座是断背山呢?只有李安知道了。
    最后进入Montana,到蒙大拿最大的城市Billings找餐馆。说是最大的城市,也就是有十万人口和几座高楼而已。意外找到一家中餐馆,生意冷清但是做的菜相当好吃。现在还在怀念他们的上海小排骨。据说这里中国人很少,在餐馆打工的中国小弟听说有讲中文的来了,特地跑来跟我们聊天。他是MSUB的本科生,Montana State University - Billings,和我的学校缩写只差了一个字。
    贪图赶路,在黑漆漆的山路上走了很久,终于在晚上11点到达蒙大拿的Bozeman。倒头就睡。
