Imvula iguqula le Pest Park
Abahlali be-Phoenix 'West Valley bathanda i-White Tank Mountains kunye nokukhanya kwelanga kusasa ekudleni. Baye baqhube kwaye bahlolisise iindlela ezinothuli kunye nokuzingela iintyatyambo zasendle entwasahlobo. Kodwa ngokungafanekiyo, ngaba babona inguqu yemilingo ebizwa ngokuba yi-White Tank Mountain Mountain Park ihamba emva kwemvula. Ngaphantsi nje iindwendwe kunye nabahlali baphathwa kwi-watercading waterfall ekupheleni kweNtaba yamanzi yamanzi.
Qaphela: Ukuhlaziya kwiNtaba yeManzi yamanzi.
Kwakungomnye walezi zihlandlo ezinqabileyo ezinamanzi ezandikhokelela ukuba ndidibanise imvula yamanzi, hlola izinga lamanzi kwindawo yokuhlambalaza, kwaye niphume ukuya kwi-White Tank Mountain Mountain Park ukuze ubone ukuba kubonakala njani emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa zemvula. Yayiyimvilo yemvu kaFebhuwari. Iindlela zazigutywe ngodaka oludaka oluye lwahlamba yonke imini. Kwakumisa, kwaye ndazi ukuba kwakukho iwindi elincinci lexesha xa ndiza kuhlola umlingo wentlango emva kwemvula.
Imifula ibonakala kwiLwandle
Ndimise eRamada 7 kwaye ndaphuma kwiMetquite Trail. Amatye ayekhwankqisa njengoko ilanga liphuma emva kwamafu emvula. Umzila wawuhlanganiswe ngokutsha, olutsha olutsha. Njengoko ndabingelela abanye abahamba ngeendlela, ndayeka ndava isandi esingaqhelekanga. Ingaba bekukho isandi somlambo, apho kwakungazange kube khona umlambo ngaphambili? Abagijimi babandixelela ngokunyanzela ngokunyusa umlambo omncinci owawungumzuzu ombalwa kwindlela.
Ndaya khona, ndagcina umgama wam emanzini amaninzi, kwaye ndanelisekile ukuthatha iifoto. Andizange ndikholelwe ukuba ndisehlane. Umzila wandikhumbuza ngamagquma nemilambo yasenyakatho-ntshona.
Impompo
Ndabuyela emotweni yam kwaye ndiqhuba umgama omfutshane kwinqanaba lokupaka i-Waterfall Trail.
Kwakukho imoto embalwa apho kwaye njengoko ndagqamisa iinqaba kwi-Bot-ka-Gore-Tex, ndabona iintsapho kunye nezibini zibuya emva kokunyuka kwendlela. Ndabuza ukuba babone impompo. Intombazana e-"Life Life Good" t-shirt yathi ukuwa kwadlulayo kodwa ukuba ayikwazi ukufikelela emanzini njengoko amanzi anzulu kakhulu.
Ukumisela ukuMhlaba
Ngelo xesha ndagqiba ekubeni ndiza kufumana imifanekiso yamanzi yamanzi okanye amanzi aphakamileyo. Njengoko ndandilandela umzila, abanye abahambahambayo saqalisa ukunyuka phezu kweemvula, kuqala ngecala elinye lamanzi ahambayo, emva koko ngaphesheya. Sifumana amatye afanelekileyo ukusebenzisa njengamatye. Ngesinye isikhathi, njengoko ndandincedwa ngaphezu kwelinye ilitye, abanye abagijimi banquma ukubuyela. Ndabona indawo apho imvula yamanzi inqabileyo phezu kwendawo epholileyo, kodwa ayikwazanga ukubona ukuwa kwangempela ngandlela-thile, ukuhamba ngokujika, ukuguqula amanzi e-canyon. Abantwana abancinci bangakuvakala kwangaphambili, amazwi abo ajabulisayo aphikisana neendonga ze-canyon. Kwakunokwenzeka ukubona impompo kodwa kwakufuneka ndikhethe phakathi kokunyuka okanye ukuhamba. Ukuqonda okuqhelekileyo kuthathelwe. Ndakhangela phantsi kwi-Gore-Tex ibhuthi yam kwaye ndakhetha ukuhamba.
I-Wading yangena kumanzi anzulu kwaye anzulu.
Ngekhamera ngesandla, ndagqiba ekubeni kwakunzima kakhulu ukubuyela emva. Ndandifutshane nokuwa. Iibhotile zam zizele ngamanzi apholileyo. Njengoko ndifumene ngamanzi ukuya kwamadolo, ndaphendula ikona ndaza ndabona imvula yamanzi. Ukuwa kunye nokutshiza kwamanzi kwakubonwa ngumoya. Kwakuqhelekileyo nje kuphela ukugqithisa ekupheleni komzila othunyayo othuliweyo apho i-petroglyphs yayingqakathekiyo, yayingumlambo ojikelezayo. Kwakumsindo, kuthuthumela kwaye ... kumanzi!
Ndayifumana isithombeni sam kwaye ndaphenduka ukuba ndiphume kwi-canyon encinci. Ndabona ukuba phakathi kwamabhotile amalisa ngamanzi kunye nejee ezimanzi, ndiza kuthwala ubunzima obuninzi xa ndibuya uhambo. Ngethamsanqa yinto emfutshane, kwaye ndandifumana iingqungquthela ezimbalwa ezivela kwii-hikers njengoko ndabuyela emotweni yam.
