Hāʻawi ka Carolina Public Press i kahi hōʻike noiʻi hohonu e pili ana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ke komohana ʻo North Carolina ma kahi ʻano waiwai ʻole, ʻaʻole pili.
I kēia hoʻoilo, e hoʻonui ka papahana hoʻihoʻi ala ala ma kahi o Boone i nā mile o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa mauna a me nā mile i nā wahi kaulana i ka Pisgah National Forest ma ka hapa nui o ke komohana o North Carolina.Nā ala hele wāwae.
ʻO ka papahana Mortimer Trails kekahi o nā papahana e hiki mai ana ma ka Apana ʻo Grandfather Ranger.Kākoʻo ʻia ka papahana e kahi hui pilikino e hoʻokō i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka noi no ka ʻoliʻoli mai nā ʻāpana ʻāina aupuni ma Blue Ridge Mountains o North Carolina.
ʻO ka holo kaʻa mauna kekahi o nā hana kaulana loa ma ka Nahele Lahui, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kekahi mau wahi i ka Pisgah a me Nantahala National Forest, me ka Bent Creek Experimental Forest ma Bancombe County, Transylva Pisgah Rangers a me Dupont State Forest ma Niah County a me Tsali Swain. Wahi Lealea Kalana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Paul Starschmidt, he lālā o ka Northwest North Carolina Mountain Bike League a he lālā o ka Southern Dirt Bike Branch, ʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke ala i ke ala e hiki ai i nā mea holo ke hoʻopuehu ʻia i ka WNC o 1 miliona mau ʻeka o ka nahele aupuni.A e hoʻemi i ke kaomi ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana ala i kaumaha nui ʻia.ʻAhahui, ʻike ʻia ʻo SORBA.
ʻO ka Mortimer Trail Complex-i kapa ʻia ma hope o kahi kaiāulu lāʻau lāʻau i ka wā ma mua- aia ma ka Wilson Creek Divide, e pili ana me Wilson Creek a me State Highway 181, ma Avery a me Caldwell county, kēlā me kēia.ʻO ka US Forest Service e pili ana i ka ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ke ala e like me ka "ala paʻakikī."
Aia ma lalo o Grandfather Mountain ke kumu i uka o ke kahawai, ma ka ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe o nā pali hikina o ka mauna ʻo Blue Ridge.
Makemake nā poʻe holo kaʻa mauna e hele wāwae ma ke awāwa ʻo Wilson Creek, no ka mea, he kakaikahi nā wahi mamao o nā manawa holo lio ma ka hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻoiai ke kaʻawale ʻana o ia wahi, ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka emi wikiwiki ʻana o ke kūlana o nā ala ala hoʻokahi ma ka wahi o ka papahana.
I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua kūpaʻa kēia mau ala ma muli o ko lākou paʻakikī a me ka hūnā.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stahlschmidt e hoʻoponopono kēia mau ala iā lākou iho i ka wā e hoʻōla ai nā lau a me nā ʻōpala ʻē aʻe ma ke ala a pale iā lākou mai ka ʻino.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā ala o ka hui ʻo Mertimer a hiki i ka holo ʻana, e alakaʻi ana i ka pōʻino kaiaola.No ka laʻana, i ka wā ua nui, e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka sediment i nā ala wai.
"ʻO ka hapa nui ma muli o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna," wahi āna."ʻAʻole nui ka ʻōpala lau a ʻoi aku ka hoʻopili ʻana ma nā ala-ʻo ka mea maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hōʻailona o ka poʻe e hoʻohana ana i nā alahele."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lisa Jennings, Luna Hoʻonaʻauao a me Trail, Grandfather District, US Forest Service, ma waho aʻe o ka hui kaʻa kaʻa nui o Boone, ua kokoke loa ka Mortimer Trail i nā kikowaena heluna o Charlotte, Raleigh a me Interstate 40 Corridor..
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "I ko lākou hele ʻana i ke komohana i ke kuahiwi, ʻo ke kupuna kāne ka wahi mua a lākou i hoʻopā ai."
ʻAʻole pili ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i ka hoʻomau o ka ʻōnaehana ala, akā paʻa loa ka ʻōnaehana, e like me ke komo ʻana i ka mālama ʻana a me nā hōʻailona a me ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā wahi kaʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jennings: "Ke ʻike nei mākou i nā ala hana ma ke komohana ʻo North Carolina i kēlā me kēia pule."“Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kēia mau alahele a he ʻano weliweli ko lākou, ʻaʻole e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻike maikaʻi.I kā mākou hana ma ke ʻano he luna ʻāina, he mea nui e hauʻoli ka lehulehu iā lākou.
Me ka palena kālā, ke manaʻo nei ka Forest Service Bureau e hilinaʻi i nā hoa e mālama, hoʻomaikaʻi a hoʻonui i ka wikiwiki o nā mile e hoʻololi ai i ka pōmaikaʻi o ka leʻaleʻa a me ka leʻaleʻa.
I ka makahiki 2012, ua mālama ka 'Oihana Nahele i kahi hālāwai lehulehu e hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻokele i nā ala kaʻa ʻole ma ka Pisgah a me Nantahala National Forests.ʻO ka hōʻike hope "Nantahala a me Pisgah Trail Strategy 2013" i hōʻike ʻia he 1,560 mile o nā ala hele wāwae a me nā ala kaʻa kaʻa i ʻoi aku ma mua o kona hiki.
Wahi a ka hopena o ka hōʻike, hoʻonoho pinepine ʻia nā alahele, me ka nele i kahi hoʻolālā e kūpono i nā pono o nā mea hoʻohana a hiki i ka corrosion.
Ua lilo kēia mau pilikia i mau luʻi nui no ka ʻoihana, a ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka waihona kālā federal i hoʻopilikia i ka ʻoihana, no laila pono e hui pū me nā luna ʻāina ʻē aʻe a me nā hui manawaleʻa (e like me SORBA).
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana me nā pūʻulu mea hoʻohana he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi nō hoʻi o ka hoʻolālā o ka Pisgah a me Nantahala National Forest Land Management Plan, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Pepeluali 2020 a manaʻo ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia i ka hapa lua o 2021.
Ua komo ʻo Stahlschmidt i ke kaʻina hana lehulehu no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻolālā hoʻokele a ua komo i nā hālāwai hoʻolālā ʻāina ʻo 2012 a me 2013.Ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka manawa kūpono e launa pū me ka Forest Service Bureau e hoʻonui i nā ala kaʻa kaʻa.
Ua pūlima ʻo Northwest NC Mountain Bike Alliance i kahi kuʻikahi me ka Forest Service i ka makahiki 2014, a mai ia manawa ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ke alakaʻi ʻana i nā papahana hoʻomaikaʻi ala liʻiliʻi ma ke alanui Mortimer.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stahlschmidt e hōʻike ana nā mea hoʻokele i ka lōkahi me ka nele o nā ʻāpana i kekahi mau wahi kikoʻī (e like me Mortimer).Aia he 70 mau mile o ke ala ma ka Wilson Creek Basin.Wahi a Jennings, hiki i ka 30% o lākou ke holo i nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna.
Loaʻa ka hapa nui o ka ʻōnaehana i nā ala kahiko i ke kūlana maikaʻi ʻole.ʻO nā ala ala a me nā alahele i koe he koena o nā alanui lāʻau i hala a me nā laina ahi kahiko.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "ʻAʻole i loaʻa kahi ʻōnaehana ma waho o ke alanui i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka holo kaʻa mauna.""He manawa kūpono kēia e hoʻohui i nā ala i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka piʻi ʻana a me ke kaʻa mauna hoʻomau."
ʻO ka nele o nā ala ala hiki ke alakaʻi i nā ala ala ʻaʻole "pōaching" a i ʻole "pirating", e like me Lost Bay a me Harper River ma Avery County a me Caldwell County i loko o ka Wilson Creek Basin, nā wahi noiʻi wao nahele ʻelua a i ʻole nā ​​ala WSA.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he ʻāpana i koho ʻia o ka National Wilderness System, ʻaʻole kānāwai ka holo kaʻa mauna ma nā ala WSA.
Hauʻoli ka poʻe kākoʻo o ka wao nahele a me nā kaʻa kaʻa no ka mamao loa o ia wahi.ʻOiai makemake kekahi poʻe holo kaʻa mauna e ʻike i nā wahi i loko o ka wao nahele, pono kēia e hoʻololi i nā kānāwai federal.
ʻO ka memorandum o ka hoʻomaopopo i pūlima ʻia i ka makahiki 2015 e nā hui kūloko he 40 i manaʻo e hoʻokumu i kahi wahi leʻaleʻa aupuni ma ka ʻāina ʻo Grandfather Ranger ua hoʻāla i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma waena o nā mea holo kaʻa mauna a me nā kākoʻo wao nahele.
Ke hopohopo nei kekahi poʻe kākoʻo o ka wao nahele no ke kūkākūkā ʻana o kēia memo.Haʻalele ia i kona ʻike wao nahele mau loa i ka wā e hiki mai ana no ke kākoʻo ʻana o ka poʻe holo kaʻa mauna i nā ʻike wao nahele ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka nahele aupuni.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kevin Massey, ka luna o ka papahana ʻo North Carolina o ka hui kūʻai ʻāina ākea ʻole ʻo Wild South, he hewa ka hakakā ma waena o nā mea holo kaʻa mauna a me nā mea kākoʻo wao nahele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻoiai ke kākoʻo nei kāna hui i ka wao nahele, makemake nui ka poʻe kākoʻo wao nahele a me nā mea holo kaʻa mauna i nā ala hele wāwae a kākoʻo kekahi i kekahi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stahlschmidt, ʻaʻole pono ka pahuhopu o ka Mortimer Trail Project e hoʻokaʻawale i nā poʻe mai nā ala pirated.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "ʻAʻole mākou he mākaʻi.""ʻO ka mea mua, ʻaʻole lawa nā ala e hoʻokō ai i nā pono a me nā ʻano o ka ʻike holo kaʻa e makemake ai ka poʻe.Ke hana ikaika nei mākou no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻike hou aʻe. "
I ka makahiki 2018, ua mālama ka Forest Service i kahi hālāwai me ke kaiāulu kaʻa mauna ma kahi hale ʻaina ma Banner Elk e kūkākūkā i ka hana ma nā ala wikiwiki ma ia wahi.
"ʻO kaʻu mea punahele e hana ai, ʻo ia ka lawe ʻana i kahi palapala ʻāina hakahaka, e nānā i nā hiʻohiʻona, a laila e noʻonoʻo i ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hana," wahi a Jennings o ka ʻOihana Nahele.
ʻO ka hopena, he hoʻolālā ala i nānā ʻia e ka lehulehu no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā ala kaʻa kaʻa mauna he 23 i kēia manawa ma ka paʻakikī o Mortimer, e hoʻomaha ana i kekahi mau mile, a e hoʻohui i 10 mau mile o ke alahele.
Ua ʻike pū ʻia ka papahana i nā ʻauwai ala i hāʻule ʻole.Hoʻonui ka ʻauwaha hana ʻino i ka ʻinoʻino, hoʻopau i ka maikaʻi o ka wai, a lilo i mea keakea i nā ʻano like me ka trout a me ka paʻakai e neʻe ana i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.
Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana Mortimer, ua kākoʻo kālā ʻo Trout Unlimited i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kahi kūkulu ʻia o lalo a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ʻauwai pōʻino, e hāʻawi ana i kahi ala ākea no ka hele ʻana o nā meaola a me nā ʻōpala i ka wā ua nui.
Wahi a Jennings, he $30,000 ke kumukūʻai no ka mile o nā ala ala.No kēia hui federala pilikia, ʻo ka hoʻohui ʻana i 10 mau mile he hana nui, a ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ka ʻoihana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei e waiho ana i nā kālā leʻaleʻa ma kahi o Priority.
Hāʻawi kālā ʻia ka papahana Mortimer e ka hāʻawi kālā ʻo Santa Cruz Bicycles PayDirt i ka hui ʻana o Stahlschmidt a me ka haʻawina NC Recreation and Trail Program i ka Grandfather Ranger District o ka Pisgah National Forest.
Eia nō naʻe, i ka nui aʻe o ka poʻe e kipa aku i ka ʻāina ākea, hiki i ke koi no ka leʻaleʻa waho ke hoʻololi i nā ʻoihana maʻamau e like me ke kālai lāʻau a lilo i ʻenekini o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai ma nā wahi kuaʻāina ma ke komohana ʻo North Carolina, ka mea e hakakā nei e ʻimi i ke kūpaʻa.Kumu waiwai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Massey o Wild South ʻo kekahi mea paʻakikī, ʻo ka backlog o ka mālama ʻana i ke ala e hiki ai ke hana i kahi hana hou.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Ma waena o ka hoʻāʻo koʻikoʻi o ka ʻoliʻoli a me ka pōloli o Congress, ʻo ka National Forest of North Carolina he maikaʻi loa i ka hana ʻana me nā hoa."
Hōʻike ka papahana Mortimer i ka hiki ke holomua ma waena o nā hui hoihoi.Ke komo nei ʻo Wild South i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka wahi papahana Mortimer.Hoʻokomo pū ka hui i kahi papahana e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ke alahele ʻo Linville Canyon a he ʻāpana o kekahi papahana ala lōʻihi kokoke i Old Fort.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jennings ua loaʻa i ka papahana Old Castle Trail i alakaʻi ʻia e ke kaiāulu he $140,000 kālā no ke kālā ʻana i kahi papahana e loaʻa ana he 35 mau mile o nā alahele hou e hoʻopili ai i ka ʻāina aupuni me McDowell Old Fort Town ma ke kalana.E hōʻike ka Forest Service i ka ʻōnaehana ala i manaʻo ʻia i ka lehulehu ma Ianuali a manaʻolana e wāwahi i ka honua i 2022.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Deirdre Perot, he ʻelele ʻāina ākea no ka poʻe holo lio ma nā wahi mamao o North Carolina, ua hōʻino ʻia ka hui ʻaʻole i kuhikuhi ka papahana Mortimer i kahi ala no nā equestrians.
Eia naʻe, he hoa ka hui i ʻelua mau papahana ʻē aʻe ma ka Apana ʻo Grandfather Ranger, me ka manaʻo e hoʻonui i nā manawa holo lio ma Boonfork a me Old Fort.Ua loaʻa i kāna hui ke kālā pilikino e hoʻolālā i nā ala e hiki mai ana a hoʻomohala i nā wahi kaʻa e hoʻokipa ai i nā kaʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jennings ma muli o ka ʻāina pali, ʻoi aku ka manaʻo o ka papahana Mortimer no ka holo kaʻa mauna a me ka hele wāwae.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stahlschmidt, ma loko o ka ululāʻau, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā papahana, e like me Mertimer a me Old Fort, e hoʻolaha i ke kaumaha o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke ala i nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa ʻē aʻe o nā mauna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Me ka ʻole o kekahi mau hoʻolālā, me ka ʻole o kahi kamaʻilio kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole ia e hiki.""He hiʻohiʻona liʻiliʻi kēia o ke ʻano o kēia ma kahi ʻē aʻe."
