Kunzima ukuba ungabonakali ngokukodwa xa uchaza le paki kazwelonke. Kodwa iSiyon ingenye yeentandokazi kwilizwe. Kutholakala e-Utah ephakamileyo kwinqanaba le-plateau, uMlambo waseVirgin udwebe umgudu onzulu kangangokuba ukukhanya kwelanga akufaneki kufinyelele ngaphantsi!

Imali / iimvume
Ababhenkethi bafuneka ukuba bathenge ukusetyenziswa kokuzonwabisa ekungeneni epakini. Zonke iipasiti ziyasebenza iintsuku ezi-7. Zonke iAmerika eziPaki ezilungileyo zokupaka zingasetyenziselwa ukukhupha umrhumo wokungena.
