[Spanish] - CAMPING RV EN PARQUES NACIONALES: Guía Esencial de los Mejores Viajes por Carretera en E

El camping RV es una de las mejores formas de divertirse en los viajes largos por carretera. Un vehículo recreativo le permite viajar, jugar, comer y atender sus demás necesidades básicas. También es la opción más asequible para desplazarse. Dependiendo de sus preferencias y del tamaño de su grupo, puede ahorrar hasta la mitad del coste total de sus vacaciones en comparación con la estancia en un hotel. A diferencia de las tiendas de campaña, las caravanas desplegables y otras opciones de viaje, las autocaravanas ofrecen un mayor confort. Los vehículos recreativos vienen en todas las formas y tamaños y pueden equiparse con todas las comodidades necesarias para vivir cómodamente en la carretera. Sin embargo, hacer camping en un RV es mucho más que hacer las maletas y salir a explorar la naturaleza. Si nos fijamos en lo que supone planificar un viaje de acampada en autocaravana, la curva de aprendizaje puede parecer bastante pronunciada. Muchos campistas a tiempo completo empiezan utilizando pop-up y alquilando un RV antes de comprometerse a un camper para todos sus viajes. Aunque esta transición gradual tiene sus ventajas, no tiene por qué seguir este camino.

Written in the Snows: Across Time on Skis in the Pacific Northwest

In Written in the Snows, renowned local skiing historian Lowell Skoog presents a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness exploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the development of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present, covering the beginnings of ski resorts and competitions, the importance of wild places in the Olympic and Cascade mountains (including Oregon's Mount Hood), and the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has been shaped by larger social trends, including immigration, the Great Depression, war, economic growth, conservation, and the media. In turn, Northwest skiers have affected their region in ways that transcend the sport, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts, Olga Bolstad, Hans Otto Giese, Bill Maxwell, and more. While weaving his own impressions and experiences into the larger history, Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation.

Wild

Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

Where the Water Goes: Life and Death Along the Colorado River

A brilliant, eye-opening account of where our water comes from and where it all goes The Colorado River is a crucial resource for a surprisingly large part of the United States, and every gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado's headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.–Mexico border where the river runs dry. Water problems in the western United States can seem tantalizingly easy to solve: just turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees, and kill all the lawyers. But a closer look reveals a vast man-made ecosystem that is far more complex and more interesting than the headlines let on. The story Owen tells in Where the Water Goes is crucial to our future: how a patchwork of engineering marvels, byzantine legal agreements, aging infrastructure, and neighborly cooperation enables life to flourish in the desert, and the disastrous consequences we face when any part of this tenuous system fails.

David Owen (Author), Fred Sanders (Narrator)
