地方1：内华达州的黑石市。黑石市不是一个真正的城市。实际上，它只不过是一个干涸的湖床，被认为是美国最平坦荒凉的地方之一。然而，每年当该地举办一年一度的火人节（Burning Man festival）时便会成为一个临时设立的城市（这又是另外一个故事）。还有哪个地方可以让你驱车10英里而不用手握方向盘？

地方2：加州回声公园的道奇体育场。从1962年开始，这里便成为洛杉矶道奇队的王国。当阳光洒满中外场外的圣盖博山之时，携好友和家人一起观看一场比赛真是一种享受！

地方3：加州的内华达山脉。内华达山脉包括惠特尼峰，它是美国大陆最高的山。对于我而言，我喜欢登内华达山脉是因为它们也是稀有而美丽的金鳟鱼的栖息地。依傍着一泉高山湖泊，享受新鲜的金鳟鱼，真是绝佳的人生体验！

地方4：加州的死亡谷。死亡谷国家公园非常大，你可在绵延几百英里的泥土路和崎岖小道上探险。在死亡谷国家公园，我最喜欢的地方有美洲原住民岩石艺术遗址，在任何地图上都找不到它的踪迹，你很难寻觅到这里。

地方5：加州的莫哈维国家保护区。莫哈维路是一条泥土路，它沿着美洲原住民在跨越科罗拉多河到达洛杉矶盆地所使用的一条原始路径蜿蜒爬行。19世纪当人们修建铁路时废弃了这条路，选择了另一条路。但通过驾驶高底盘（4*4）汽车，如运动型多用途汽车，你还是可以穿越这个地方。

My Favorite Places

Doug F., 36

Business Lawyer

Los Angeles, California

Place 1:  Black Rock City, Nevada.  Black Rock City isn’t a really a city at all.  It is actually a dry lake bed known as one of the flattest and most desolate places in the United States.  Once a year, however, it does become a temporary city as it happens to be the location of the annual Burning Man festival (that’s another story all together).  Where else can one drive for 10 miles without touching the steering wheel?

Place 2:  Dodger Stadium, Echo Park, California.  Since 1962 it has been the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Watching a game with friends and family while the sun lights up the San Gabriel Mountains out beyond center field is a true joy!

Place 3:  The Sierra Nevada Mountains, California.  The Sierras include Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the continental United States.  Personally, I love spending time in the Sierras because they are also the native home to the rare and beautiful Golden Trout.  Very little is better than eating fresh-caught trout next to a high mountain lake.

Place 4:  Death Valley, California.  Death Valley National Park is huge and offers hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore.  Some of my favorite places in the park are Native American rock art sites that aren’t on any map and are pretty hard to find.

Place 5:  Mojave National Preserve, California.  The Mojave Road is a dirt road that follows the original path Native Americans used to cross from the Colorado River to the Los Angeles basin.  The road was abandoned in the 1800s when the railroad chose a different route, but it can still be traversed with a high clearance 4x4 vehicle like a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
