America sierra wiki

The Pan-American Highway is a series of routes that passes through Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama in North America, and Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina in South America. It is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest motorable road in the world. While the Pan-American Highway doesn't have a route through the U.S. and Canada, some people start in Alaska and drive/bike to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost tip of South America. It is necessary to bypass the Darién Gap between Panama and Colombia by ferry, however.

Understand

The Pan-American Highway is about 19,000 miles (30,000 km) long depending on the route you take. There are many options in the United States, Canada, and Mexico because of the large area and number of roads. Central America has only a few roads going north to south, with most of them - especially the Pan-American highway running along the Western (Pacific) shore.

The Pan-American Highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles, to arid deserts, some of which are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous.

Talk

Most of the route passes through Spanish-speaking countries and thus you should definitely make an effort to learn some Spanish. Not only will it be invaluable in case of any problems (and there will be problems on a long trip), but you will be much more able to get to know the locals and experience the culture of places you pass through and stay at.

Get around

There are several modes of travel that are used on the Pan-American Highway.

By bus

It is possible to use buses down all the way to Argentina from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, except for the Darien Gap and along the Alaska Highway between Fort Nelson, British Columbia and Tok, Alaska. Buses are less frequent with limited availability in remote areas

Mountain range along the Pacific coast of Mexico

The Sierra Madre Occidental is a major mountain range system of the North American Cordillera, that runs northwest–southeast through northwestern and western Mexico, and along the Gulf of California. The Sierra Madre is part of the American Cordillera, a chain of mountain ranges (cordillera) that consist of an almost continuous sequence that form the western "sounds" of North America, Central America, South America, and West Antarctica.

Etymology

The Spanish name sierra madre means "mother mountain range" in English, and occidental means "western", these thus being the "Western mother mountain range". To the east, from the Spanish oriental meaning "eastern" in English, the Sierra Madre Oriental range or "Eastern mother mountain range" runs generally parallel to the Sierra Madre Occidental along eastern Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico.

The range extends from northern Sonora, a state near the Mexico–U.S. border at Arizona, southeast towards to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and Sierra Madre del Sur ranges. The high plateau that is formed by the range is cut by deep river valleys. This plateau is formed from volcanic rock overlying a basement of metamorphic rock.

This uplift has caused changes in weather patterns; increased rainfall occurring in the mountains has provided are

Relationships

Vince

In Season 9, Sierra "dumped" Handsome Stranger for Vince on television. The first was a "showmance" set for the cameras and audience. The second appeared to be a "showmance" as well because off-screen during Season 10's Final 3 Challenge, both Sierra and Vince didn't appear to care about each other. However, in Season 12's Wedding Edition, Chapter 1, if you and your fiance decide to spy on Vince, you discover that his relationship with Sierra is real. If you don't spy on them, Wrenn tells you about them in Chapter 2.

If you decide to call Vince out in Chapter 16 and have Sierra confirm their affair, Sierra admits it is true and mentions that the two of them hooked up on every piece of her furniture.
