Ka whakarato te Carolina Public Press i tētahi pūrongo rangahau hōhonu mō ngā take e pā ana ki te taha hauauru o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina i roto i te horopaki kore-moni, kore-pāti.
I tēnei hotoke, mā te kaupapa whakaora ara e haere tonu ana e tata ana ki Boone ka tāpirihia he maero o ngā ara pahikara maunga me ngā maero ki ngā wāhi rongonui mō ngā pakeke i te Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Pisgah i te nuinga o te taha hauauru o North Carolina. Ngā ara hikoi.
Ko te kaupapa Mortimer Trails tētahi o ngā kaupapa maha e haere ake nei i roto i te Rohe o Grandfather Ranger. E tautokona ana te kaupapa e tētahi whakahaere tūmataiti hei whakatutuki i te hiahia e piki haere ana mō ngā whakangahau mai i ngā whenua tūmatanui i ngā Maunga Blue Ridge o North Carolina.
Ko te eke pahikara maunga tētahi o ngā mahi tino rongonui i te Ngāherehere ā-Motu, e aro nui ana ki ētahi wāhi iti i te Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Pisgah me Nantahala, tae atu ki te Ngāherehere Whakamātautau o Bent Creek i te Rohe o Bancombe, ngā Transylva Pisgah Rangers me te Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Dupont i te Rohe o Niah me te Rohe Whakangahau o Tsali Swain County.
I kī a Paul Starschmidt, he mema nō te Rōpū Pahikara Maunga o Northwest North Carolina me te mema anō hoki nō te Peka Pahikara Dirt Southern, mā te whakawhānui ake i te ara ki te ara ka taea te marara haere o ngā kaieke ki roto i te ngahere ā-motu e 1 miriona eka te rahi o te WNC. Ā, ka whakaitihia te pēhanga ki runga i te pūnaha ara e tino taumaha ana. Ko te Rōpū, e mōhiotia ana ko SORBA.
Kei te taha o te awa o Wilson Creek, e tata ana ki a Wilson Creek me te huarahi matua 181, i ngā rohe o Avery me Caldwell, te Mortimer Trail Complex – i tapaina i muri i tētahi hapori rākau rakau i mua – te rohe o te ara. E kīia ana e te US Forest Service te rohe nui o te ara ko te "ara".
Kei raro i Maunga Koroua te puna o te awa i te taha whakarunga o te takotoranga wai, i te taha pari o ngā pari rawhiti o ngā Maunga Blue Ridge.
E hiahia ana ngā kaieke paihikara maunga ki te hikoi atu i te Wilson Creek Valley, nā te mea he iti noa ngā wāhi tūmatanui e wātea ana mō te eke hōiho i te rawhiti o te Hononga o Amerika.
I ngā tau kua taha ake nei, ahakoa te mokemoke o te rohe, kua kite ia i te tere o te hekenga o te āhua o ngā ara kotahi-ara i te rohe o te kaupapa.
I ngā tau kua taha ake nei, kua pumau tonu ēnei ara nā te uaua me te huna. E ai ki a Stahlschmidt ka whakatikatikahia e ēnei ara i a rātou anō i te wā e ora ai ngā rau me ngā paru i runga i te ara, ā, ka tiakina hoki i te horo.
Heoi, he kikī ake ngā ara o te whare Mertimer, ā, he ngāwari ki te rere, ka hua ake he kino ki te taiao. Hei tauira, i te wā ua nui, ka tukuna te paru ki ngā awa.
"Ko te nuinga o tēnei nā te pikinga ake o te whakamahinga o ngā pahikara maunga," tana kī. "Kāore i te nui te paru rau, ā, he nui ake te whakakīkī i ngā ara - ko te tikanga, he nui ake ngā tohu a te hunga e whakamahi ana i ngā ara."
I kī a Lisa Jennings, te Kaiwhakahaere Kaupapa Whakangahau me te Ara, te Rohe o Koroua, te Ratonga Ngāherehere o Amerika, haunga te hapori pahikara nui o Boone, he tata tonu te Ara o Mortimer ki ngā pokapū taupori o Charlotte, Raleigh me te Ara Matua 40.
I mea ia: "I tō rātou haerenga ki te hauauru ki ngā maunga, ko te rohe o te koroua te wāhi tuatahi i pā atu rātou."
Ehara i te mea ko te pumau o te pūnaha ara anake ka pā ki te whakamahinga whānui, engari he tino kuiti hoki ngā hanganga, pērā i te urunga ki ngā ara tiaki me ngā tohu me te whakarato wāhi waka.
I mea atu a Jennings: "E kite ana mātou i ngā ara pukumahi i te taha hauauru o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina i ia mutunga wiki." "Ki te kore e kitea ēnei ara, ā, he kino ngā āhua, kāore koe e whiwhi i tētahi wheako pai. I roto i tā mātou mahi hei kaiwhakahaere whenua, he mea nui kia taea e te marea te pārekareka ki ēnei ara."
Me te iti o te tahua, e whakaaro ana te Tari Ratonga Ngāherehere ki te whakawhirinaki ki ngā hoa mahi ki te pupuri, ki te whakapai ake me te whakanui ake i te tere o ngā maero kia urutau ai ki te hua o te wā whakangahau me te wā whakangahau.
I te tau 2012, i tū he hui tūmatanui a te Ratonga Ngāherehere hei whakawhanake i tētahi rautaki hei whakahaere i ngā ara kore-mōta i roto i ngā Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Pisgah me Nantahala. I roto i te pūrongo i muri mai "Nantahala and Pisgah Trail Strategy 2013" i kīia ko te 1,560 maero o ngā ara hikoi me te ara pahikara o te pūnaha he nui rawa atu i tōna kaha.
E ai ki te whakatau o te pūrongo, he maha ngā wā ka whakatakotoria matapōkeretia ngā ara, kāore he hoahoa e tutuki ai ngā hiahia o ngā kaiwhakamahi, ā, ka ngāwari hoki te waikura.
He nui ngā wero i pā ki te tari nā ēnei take, ā, nā te whakawhāititanga o te tahua ā-motu i raru ai te tari, nō reira i tika ai te mahi tahi me ētahi atu kaiwhakahaere whenua me ngā rōpū tūao (pērā i a SORBA).
He wāhanga nui anō hoki te mahi tahi me ngā rōpū kaiwhakamahi i roto i te tauira o te Mahere Whakahaere Whenua Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Pisgah me Nantahala, i tukuna i te Hui-tanguru 2020, ā, e matapaetia ana ka oti i te haurua tuarua o te tau 2021.
I whai wāhi a Stahlschmidt ki te tukanga tūmatanui mō te whakawhanake i tētahi tauira mahere whakahaere, ā, i whai wāhi atu hoki ia ki ngā hui rautaki whakawhiti-whenua o te tau 2012 me te 2013. I kite ia i tētahi whai wāhitanga ki te mahi tahi me te Tari Ratonga Ngāherehere ki te whakawhānui ake i ngā ara pahikara.
I hainatia e te Northwest NC Mountain Bike Alliance tētahi whakaaetanga tūao me te Ratonga Ngāherehere i te tau 2014, ā, mai i taua wā kua riro i a rātou te ārahi i te whakahaere i ngā kaupapa whakapai ara iti i te whare ara o Mortimer.
I kī a Stahlschmidt kua whakapuaki ngā taraiwa i tō rātou tautoko mō te korenga o ngā tohu ara i ētahi rohe whenua (pērā i a Mortimer). E 70 maero te roa o ngā ara i te Wilson Creek Basin. E ai ki a Jennings, 30% noa iho o rātou ka taea te eke pahikara maunga.
Ko te nuinga o te pūnaha he ara tawhito kua kino te āhua. Ko ngā ara me ngā hīkoi e toe ana he toenga nō ngā rori rākau tawhito me ngā rārangi ahi tawhito.
I mea ia: "Kāore anō kia hangaia he pūnaha mō te eke pahikara maunga i waho o te rori." "He whai wāhitanga tēnei ki te tāpiri i ngā ara hikoi me te eke pahikara maunga tauwhiro."
Nā te kore o ngā ara hikoi ka arahi pea ki te "tangata hopu manu" me te "tāhae" i ngā ara hikoi ture kore, pērā i a Lost Bay me Harper River i Avery County me Caldwell County i roto i te Wilson Creek Basin, ngā wāhi rangahau koraha e rua, ngā ara WSA rānei.
Ahakoa ehara i te wāhanga kua tohua o te Pūnaha Koraha Whenua ā-Motu, he ture kore te eke pahikara maunga i ngā ara o te WSA.
E harikoa ana ngā kaitautoko o te ngahere me ngā kaieke paihikara mō te tūhāhā o te rohe. Ahakoa e hiahia ana ētahi kaieke paihikara maunga ki te kite i ngā wāhi i roto i te ngahere, me whakarerekē ngā ture ā-motu mō tēnei.
Kua puta te tautohetohe i waenganui i ngā kaieke paihikara maunga me ngā kaitautoko i te ngahere i te whakaaetanga i hainatia i te tau 2015 e ngā whakahaere ā-rohe e 40 e aro ana ki te waihanga i tētahi wāhi whakangahau ā-motu i te rohe o Grandfather Ranger.
Kei te āwangawanga ētahi kaitautoko o te ngaherehere he mea whiriwhiri noa iho tēnei tuhinga mō ngā whiriwhiringa. Ka whakarērea tōna tuakiri ngaherehere tuturu ā muri ake nei hei utu mō te tautoko a ngā kaieke paihikara maunga i ngā tuakiri ngaherehere i ētahi atu wāhi o te ngaherehere ā-motu.
I kī a Kevin Massey, te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina o te whakahaere hoko whenua tūmatanui kore-moni a Wild South, he hē te pakanga i waenganui i ngā kaieke paihikara maunga me ngā kaitautoko o te koraha.
I mea ia, ahakoa e tautoko ana tana whakahaere i te nui ake o te noho koraha, e hiahia ana ngā kaitautoko o te ngahere me ngā kaieke pahikara maunga ki ngā ara hikoi, ā, e tautoko ana rātou tetahi i tetahi.
I kī a Stahlschmidt ehara i te mea ko te whāinga matua o te Kaupapa Ara o Mortimer te ārai i te tangata kia matara atu i ngā ara tāhae.
I mea ia: "Ehara mātou i te pirihimana." "Tuatahi, kāore i te rawaka ngā huarahi hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia me ngā momo wheako eke e hiahiatia ana e te tangata. Kei te kaha mātou ki te whiwhi i ētahi atu huarahi me ngā tohu."
I te tau 2018, i tū he hui a te Ratonga Ngāherehere me te hapori pahikara maunga i tētahi wharekai i Banner Elk hei matapaki i ngā mahi mō ngā ara whakateretere i te rohe.
"Ko taku mea tino pai ko te tango i tētahi mapi kau, te titiro ki te tirohanga, kātahi ka whakaaro ki tā tātou e taea ai," te kī a Jennings o te Ratonga Ngāherehere.
Ko te hua he mahere ara kua arotakehia e te marea hei whakapai ake i ngā ara pahikara maunga e 23 maero te roa i roto i te whare o Mortimer, ka mutu te haere mō ētahi maero, ka tāpirihia he 10 maero o ngā ara.
I kitea anō hoki i roto i te mahere ngā paipa wai o te huarahi kua pakaru. Ka nui ake te horo o ngā paipa wai ina kore e mahi pai, ka whakangaro i te kounga o te wai, ā, ka noho hei arai ki ngā momo ika pērā i te taraute me te ika tote e heke ana ki ngā teitei teitei.
Hei wāhanga o te kaupapa Mortimer, i tautoko a Trout Unlimited i te hoahoa o tētahi hanganga kōhatu koretake me te whakakapinga o ngā paipa wai kua pakaru, e whakarato ana i tētahi ara whānui ake mō te haerenga o ngā rauropi me ngā paru i te wā ua nui.
E ai ki a Jennings, ko te utu mō ia maero o ngā ara he tata ki te $30,000. Mō tēnei tari ā-motu e raruraru ana, he taahiraa nui te tāpiri i te 10 maero, ā, kāore te tari i whakapau i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei ki te whakatakoto moni whakangahau ki te wāhi Matua.
Ko te pūtea tautoko mō te kaupapa Mortimer e ahu mai ana i te putea Santa Cruz Bicycles PayDirt ki te whakahaere a Stahlschmidt me te putea NC Recreation and Trail Program ki te Rohe o Grandfather Ranger o te Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Pisgah.
Heoi, i te mea ka piki haere te tokomaha o te tangata e toro atu ana ki ngā whenua tūmatanui, ka whakakapia pea e te hiahia mō ngā mahi whakangahau o waho ngā ahumahi tuku iho pērā i te tapahi rakau, ā, ka noho hei pūkaha mō te whanaketanga ōhanga i ngā rohe taiwhenua i te taha hauauru o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina, kua roa nei e raru ana ki te kimi i te pumau. Te tūāpapa ōhanga.
E ai ki a Massey o Wild South, ko tētahi wero nui, ko te mahi tiaki ara e toe ana ka meinga pea te Ratonga Ngāherehere kia huri i tētahi taahiraa hou.
I mea ia: "I waenganui i te whakamātautau nui o te pēhanga whakangahau me te hemokai o te Runanga, he tino pai te Ngāherehere ā-Motu o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina ki te mahi tahi me ngā hoa mahi."
E whakaatu ana te kaupapa Mortimer i te āheinga o te mahi tahi angitu i waenga i ngā rōpū whai pānga. Ka whai wāhi a Wild South ki te whakamahere me te hanganga o te rohe kaupapa Mortimer. Kei te whai wāhi hoki te tīma ki tētahi kaupapa hei whakapai ake i te Linville Canyon Trail, ā, he wāhanga hoki ia o tētahi atu kaupapa ara roa e tata ana ki Old Fort.
I kī a Jennings i whiwhi te kaupapa ara Old Castle Trail i te $140,000 hei putea i tētahi kaupapa e uru atu ana ki te 35 maero o ngā ara hou maha-kaupapa e hono ana i te whenua tūmatanui ki McDowell Old Fort Town i te rohe. Ka whakaatuhia e te Ratonga Ngāherehere te pūnaha ara kua whakaritea ki te marea i te marama o Hānuere, ā, e tumanako ana ka tīmata te mahi i te tau 2022.
I mea a Deirdre Perot, he māngai whenua tūmatanui mō ngā kaieke hōiho i ngā wāhi tūmatanui o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina, i pouri te whakahaere nā te mea kāore te kaupapa Mortimer i tohu i tētahi ara mō ngā kaieke hōiho.
Heoi, he hoa mahi te whakahaere i roto i ētahi atu kaupapa e rua i te Rohe o Grandfather Ranger, me te whāinga kia whakawhānui ake i ngā whai wāhitanga eke hōiho i Boonfork me Old Fort. I whiwhi tana tīma i te pūtea tūmataiti hei whakamahere i ngā ara hikoi ā muri ake nei, me te whakawhanake i ngā wāhi waka hei whakauru i ngā wakatō.
I mea a Jennings, nā te pari o te whenua, ko te kaupapa Mortimer te mea tino whai tikanga mō te eke pahikara maunga me te hikoi.
I kī a Stahlschmidt, puta noa i te ngahere, mā ngā kaupapa pērā i a Mertimer me Old Fort, ka horahia te taumahatanga o te whakanui ake i te whakamahinga o ngā ara ki ētahi atu wāhi pahikara i ngā maunga.
I mea ia: "Ki te kore he mahere, ki te kore he whakawhitiwhiti kōrero taumata-tiketike, e kore e tutuki." "He tauira iti tēnei o te āhua o tēnei i tupu i ētahi atu wāhi."
