Ke hoʻohana nei ma o ka hoʻokele - Hōkū ʻo Nelson
ʻO ka pule hope loa i holo kaʻa holo wau ma o ka hoʻokele o South Okanagan-West Kootenay no ka ʻelima mau mahina ma ka lālani. Lawe wau i ʻehiku mau lā e hoʻopili i nā ala a me nā ala nui, kū ma nā haleʻaina a me nā wahi ʻai me ka ʻaoʻao e hoʻokō ai me nā mea pili a hele pū me lākou ma kā lākou ala. ʻO kēia mau mahina 12 ua mālama au e hoʻokō i nā pā pāhola ākea kahi a mākou e kamaʻilio ai ma kahi lōʻihi. A i ka manawa hou i noho ai ka huakaʻi e like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia - nā kamaʻilio maikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻano mea like ʻole, ke aniau maikaʻi a me nā wahi nani a puni o kēia hoʻokele maikaʻi.
Ua hoʻomaka wau i ka huakaʻi me kekahi mau hoa holo paikikala ma Glenfir, ma kahi o ʻewalu mau mile ma ka ʻākau o Naramata ma ke alahele ʻo Kettle Valley Railway. Ua hōʻea mākou i Penticton i ka manawa no ka ʻaina kakahiaka a me kahi haʻalulu e Mike Farnworth, ke Kuhina BC o Security Public. Ma muli o ka puhi ahi ʻana o ke kapuahi ʻo Christie Mountain a he palaka wale nō ka Center Operations Emergency, ua lawe wau i ke kuhina i ka EOC e hoʻopaʻapaʻa i ke kapuahi e pale ana a me nā pane ʻana a me nā papa i ʻike ʻia mai nā makahiki i hala.
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka ʻai kalima ma Okanagan Falls a me ka ʻaina awakea ma Oliver, ua kūʻai hou wau ma loko o ke kaʻa ma Osoyoos a holo aku iā Huge White, ke kihi komohana ʻākau o ka hoʻokele. Ua hui wau me nā ʻōiwi ʻōiwi ma ka ʻaina kakahiaka i ke kakahiaka aʻe, a laila kūʻai hou aku i ke ala KVR ma McCulloch a kaʻa kaʻa i ka 60 km i Beaverdell.
Ua hui mākou i kekahi mau kime o ka poʻe holo paikikala ma ke ala e mahalo ai i ke ala akā e ʻōlelo ikaika ana e mālama ʻia ia i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe no nā poʻe holo kaʻa. Ma Carmi ua hāʻawi mākou i kahi wahi e nānā ai ʻo BC Wildfire e mālama nei i nā poʻe mai kahi ākea o Carmi Creek kahi e ʻā mau nei kahi ahi. ʻO ke kaikamahine e mālama ana i ka wahi huli ua hoʻopiha ʻia me ka makana no ka lalo a me nā limahana o ka lewa e pale ana i ka luaahi a ʻo kekahi ma Solomon Mountain a puni ke awāwa.
Ma luna o pizza ma Rock Creek ua kamaʻilio pōkole wau me ke poʻo o ke koleke maoli e pili ana i ka wehe hou ʻana o nā koleke a me kahi kamaʻilio lōʻihi me kahi kanaka ʻoihana kaiāulu e pili ana i ka nānā kālā maikaʻi no Beaverdell i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā poʻe a hana hou i loko o ka mea maikaʻi maoli e pili ana i ka West Kettle Awāwa.
I ka lā aʻe ua hoʻomau wau i ke ala KVR i Rock Creek, kahi aʻu i mākaʻikaʻi ai i ka Riverside Center hou, kahi mea hou hoihoi i ka wahi e hāʻawi ai i ka ʻike mea kūʻai aku, nā hui kaiaulu, kahi hana o nā alaloa a me nā hui panakō i hoʻolako ʻia e ka helu ʻaiʻē Osoyoos Credit Uniona. Ua ʻai mākou i ka ʻaina ahiahi ma ka Keg a me Kettle Grill ma Halfway, kahi hale ʻaina hou loa e hana nei i kahi ʻoihana ulu i nā hanana paʻakikī.
I ke kakahiaka ʻehā, ua launa au me Ciel Sander, ka mea lawelawe ma ke ala ʻōiwi, no ka huakaʻi e like me Eholt a hiki loa i Grand Forks. Ua hāʻawi lokomaikaʻi mai ʻo Ciel iaʻu i kāna ebike huila momona, e ʻōlelo ana he papa weliweli ka papahele o kēia ʻāpana a hoʻopilikia hoʻi no nā paikikala e like me kaʻu.
Ua hui pū nā lālā o ka Grand Forks pōʻaiapuni iā mākou kokoke iā Eholt (i waenakonu o ka Hodges Tunnel pouli loa e kikoʻī!) A ʻike i ka pilikia i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea pōhaku a me ke one o ke ala ke kaʻana like ʻia me nā malihini kaʻa kaʻa. Ma muli o kēia mau huila momona (a me ke kōkua pedal uila!), Ua hōʻea au no ka ʻaina awakea ma Grand Forks i ka manawa kūpono kahi kahi a kahi hui ʻē aʻe i ʻākoakoa ai no nā kūkā kamaʻilio ʻana ma ka pā o ke ala hele wāwae me nā mea e hoʻomaka ana mai nā pilikia a puni ka 5G pūnaewele hale kiaʻi i nā politika i kēlā me kēia nā pae mahalo.
Ua iho au i ka mea kūʻai liʻiliʻi hou o ke kaona ʻo Grand Forks e kamaʻilio me ka mea nona ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka paikikala (ʻo nā hale kūʻai paikikala ma nā wahi āpau i hoʻokahuli ʻia e ka ʻoihana ma waena o COVID) ʻoiai ua nānā surreptitious wau i nā paikikala uila me nā kaila momona.
Ma muli o ke kaha ʻana o Grand Forks i ka pae waena o kaʻu huakaʻi, he pae kūpono kēia e ʻākoʻakoʻa i kēia kolamu a e hoʻopau wau i ka hōʻike i kēia pule aʻe. Nā ala hele hauʻoli!
