ILungu lePhalamende likhumbula uhambo lokuhamba ngebhayisikili enqamula iSouth Okanagan-West Kootenay ride - iTrail Daily Times

Isonto lokugcina ngihamba ngebhayisikili ngishayela iNingizimu Okanagan-West Kootenay izinyanga eziyisi-12 zilandelana.

Ngithatha izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuhlanganisa imigwaqo nemigwaqo emikhulu, ngime emathilomu nasezindaweni zokudla eceleni kwendlela yokwenelisa ngezindawo futhi ngihambe nazo emikhondweni yazo. Lezi zinyanga eziyi-12 benginakekela ukwanelisa kumaphalathi avulekile indawo esingakhuluma kuyo buqamama.

Futhi ngokushesha nje lapho lolu hambo lwaphila njengokulindelwe kwalo — izingxoxo ezinhle kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezihloko, isimo sezulu esihle nendawo ezungezile enhle kukho konke lokhu kushayela okumangazayo.

Ngiqale lolu hambo nabathile engangisebenza nabo eGlenfir, cishe amakhilomitha ayi-8 enyakatho yeNaramata emgwaqeni iKettle Valley Railway.

Safika ePenticton ngesikhathi sokudla kwasekuseni nokwethuka nguMike Farnworth, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuphepha Komphakathi we-BC. Ngenxa yokuthi iziko leChristie Mountain lalisha futhi i-Emergency Operations Centre yayiseduze kakhulu, ngathatha uNgqongqoshe ngaya naye e-EOC ukuyophikisana neziko lokulwa nokuphendula izimpendulo kanye namakilasi atholakale eminyakeni edlule.

Ngemuva kokumiswa kwe-ayisikhilimu e-Okanagan Falls nangelantshi e-Oliver, ngaphinde ngathenga ngaphakathi kwezimoto e-Osoyoos ngaya eLarge White, enyakatho-ntshonalanga nook yokushayela.

Ngihlangane nosomabhizinisi bomdabu ngesikhathi sokudla kwasekuseni ekuseni okulandelayo ngemuva kwalokho ngaphinde ngathenga indlela ye-KVR eMcCulloch ngahamba ngebhayisikili amakhilomitha angama-60 ukuya eBeaverdell. Sihlangane namaqembu amaningi abagibeli bamabhayisikili asendleleni athi wonke ancoma lo mzila ngenkathi ephakamisa ngokuqinile ukuthi ugcinwa usesimweni esiphakeme kubagibeli bamabhayisikili.

ECarmi sanikeza indawo yokuhlola umlilo ye-BC Wildfire egcina abantu baphuma esikhaleni seCarmi Creek lapho indawo yomlilo yayishisa khona.

Intombazane ephethe indawo yokuhlola yagcwala umvuzo wabasebenzi abaphansi nabasemoyeni abalwa neziko kanye nomunye eSolomon Mountain kuso sonke lesi sigodi.

Ngaphezulu kwe-pizza eRock Creek ngibe nengxoxo esheshayo nomphathi wezobuchwepheshe bomdabu mayelana nokuvulwa kwamakolishi futhi ngikhulume ngokunwetshiwe nosomabhizinisi wendawo maqondana nombono wezimali ongcono weBeververdell njengoba abantu bedlulisela futhi bephinda benze okuhle ngaphakathi kweWest Kettle Valley.

Ngakusasa ngaqhubeka ngehla ngomgwaqo we-KVR ngiya eRock Creek, indawo lapho ngavakashela khona i-Riverside Center entsha, okungeziwe okusha okuthokozisayo endaweni enikeza imininingwane yamakhasimende, abahlinzeki bezenhlalakahle, indawo yokusebenza kanye nabahlinzeki bamabhange abanikezwe yi-Osoyoos Credit score Inyunyana.

Sibe nesidlo sakusihlwa eKeg naseKettle Grill eHalfway, indawo yokudlela entsha sha eyenza ibhizinisi elichumayo ezimweni ezinzima.

Ngakusasa ekuseni ngihlangane noCiel Sander, umxhumanisi wendlela yomdabu, ohambweni olunjenge-Eholt futhi wehlela eGrand Forks.

UCiel ngomusa ungiboleke i-e-bike yakhe ekhathele ekhuluphele, esho ukuthi iphansi lale ngxenye lisesimweni esesabekayo futhi liyahlupha ngamabhayisikili ajwayelekile njengami. Amalungu obulungu bomjikelezo weGrand Forks asihlangabeze eduzane nase-Eholt (phakathi kweHodges Tunnel emnyama kakhulu ukuthi ibe ngeyangempela!) Bakhomba inkinga ekulondolozeni izinto ezinamadwala nesihlabathi sendlela lapho kwabelwana ngayo nabavakashi besiza sezimoto.

Ngenxa yala mathayi amafutha (kanye nosizo lwe-pedal kagesi!), Ngifike ngesidlo sasemini eGrand Forks ngesikhathi lapho elinye iqembu ebelihlangene khona ukuze kuxoxwe ngalo kuvulandi womgwaqo ngezihloko eziqala ezindabeni ezizungeze ukukhishwa kombhoshongo wamaseli we-5G kuya kwezepolitiki kunoma yikuphi amabanga enhlonipho.

Ngiye ngangena kumthengisi webhayisikili omusha sha edolobheni iGrand Forks ukuze ngikhulume nomnikazi wendawo ngokukhuthaza ukuhamba ngebhayisikili (izitolo zamabhayisikili kuzo zonke izindawo zikhungathekiswe yibhizinisi kuyo yonke i-COVID) kuyilapho ngihlole ngokuzikhandla ama-e-bikes ngamathayi amafutha.

Njengoba abakwaGrand Forks bebemakwe ezingeni eliphakathi nohambo lwami, manje kuyizinga elifanele lokusonga le kholamu futhi ngizoqeda umbiko ngesonto elilandelayo.

Imizila ejabule ngokuphelele!
