Chapter 1385 Entering the Mountain (1/2)

The Appalachian Mountains are the backbone of the eastern United States. Together with the Rocky Mountains, the two mountain ridges, one in the east and the other in the west, can be imagined to prop up North America.

The Appalachian Mountains were the collective name for an extensive mountain range in eastern North America, also known as the Appalachian Highlands.

Li Du flipped open the map of the mountainous region – it was a huge map. Godzilla's entire arm span was barely enough to touch both edges of the map.

”This map is really big,” Lu Guan marveled. ”Godzilla, your arms are so short. No wonder your coach told you that you can't be good at basketball. Hahaha, you're two meters tall but how long are your arms? You'd expect them to be longer, right?”

Godzilla pulled a face. ”Scram or I'll beat you up!”

Li Du examined the map. The mountain range stretched from Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada to the eastern part of the United States and south to the central part of Alabama. The whole range had a total length of nearly 3,200 kilometers.

Previously, the mountains had a nice nickname, 'Mother of America'. The British had given the mountain range that name.

The first thirteen colonies in the US were built in the narrow strip of New Hampshire in the eastern region of the Appalachian Mountains, south to Georgia. Due to the formation of a natural barrier between the eastern coastal zone and the vast lowlands of the mainland, the colonization and development of the mainland played a vital role.

That has become a thing of the past. From Cleveland all the way to Pittsburgh, the two cities were not far apart. It was only an hour's drive for Li Du.

Pittsburgh was at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, which was the starting point for the Blue Ridge section of the mountains.

The Appalachian Mountains area was big and wide. Not even taking into account the Canadian part, it was a vast region.

There was Mount Katahdin in Maine, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and Mountain Greene in Vermont. The mountains extended from Greene to Massachusetts, Connecticut, and eastern New York, where they subsided into elevations known as Berkshire Hills...

Looking at the central region, there were the Catskill Mountains in New York, the Blue Ridge in southern Pennsylvania, and the Allegheny Mountains which extended from New York State to western Maryland, western Pennsylvania, and the Allegheny Mountains in eastern Ohio.

As for the south, the mountains of West Virginia were called the Allegheny Mountains; the mountains of Virginia, Western Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were part of the Blue Ridge...

Not only that, there was Mount Yucca in Virginia, as well as the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, and the Cumberland Plateau that extended from eastern Kentucky to northern Alabama…

Looking at the huge map, Li Du's eyes blurred. He said in awe, ”D*mn, these mountains are almost endless. It will be all too easy to get lost.”

Brother Wolf came over for a look and said, ”It's easy. With this map and compass, we won't lose our way. Besides, we also have the GPS locator. Don't worry, boss, leave the routing to me.”

After preparing their daily necessities, they got ready to set off.

Their expedition to the mountains would take some time. Li Du estimated it would take at least one week. Hence, they prepared a huge amount of necessities and ammunition for their weapons. Of course, the heavy-duty weapons and bullets were all kept in the Black Hole.

Although the Black Hole was already stuffed full, every one of them still had to carry a bag or two.

Even Ah Ow and Ah Bai did their part. Ah Ow was laden with two small bags, while Ah Bai carried another two satchels, one on each side. He looked just a miniature Red Army soldier.

The Appalachian Mountains extended far and wide. They were not known for their high peaks but were famed for their beautiful scenery.

It was one of the main leisure areas in North America, with the famous Appalachian Trail.
