Kumgama oziikhilomitha ezingama-32, kukho umendo omkhulu eMntla Dakota osekhaya ekuqokeleleni ezona zinto zinkulu zentsimbi ezilahliweyo, ezibizwa ngokufanelekileyo ngokuba yi-Enchanted Highway. Yaziwa ngokuba ngumtsalane kwaye inkulu kune-yobomi beendlela ezisecaleni kwendlela, le ndlela ingenakubalwa izisa abakhenkethi abaninzi eGladstone, eMantla Dakota kwaye ifikelela eRegent, eMntla Dakota.

Kodwa kwenzeka njani ukuba uhola wendlela obonakala ufihlakele onemizila emibini ujike ube yindawo ekuhanjwa kuyo ngabahambi beendlela befuna ukhenketho lwabo olungalibalekiyo?

Umkroli uGary Greff waqonda ukuba uMntla Dakota wayenengxaki yokunqongophala kwezokhenketho kwaye wazimisela ukulungisa loo ngxaki. Ngo-1990, u-Greff wasebenza kwaye wenza i-behemoth eqingqiweyo kwaye wayibeka ecaleni kweRegency-Gladstone Road.

Ecaleni komfanekiso ngamnye oqingqiweyo, wagqiba kwelokuba abeke indawo yepikniki kunye nomtsalane webala lokudlala - nayo yonke into ejonge emantla, axhokonxe umdla wezithuthi ezizayo. Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo esixhenxe sele igqityiwe, kunye nezicwangciso zokwakha ezintathu ngaphezulu zizonke iziqwenga zobugcisa kwi-Enchanted Highway.

Into Oza Kuhlangana Nayo

Jonga indlela yakho ezantsi I-94 kwaye uthathe ukuphuma 72 ukufikelela kufakelo lokuqala, ebekwe eGladstone, eMantla Dakota. Ngokuqinisekileyo awuyi kuphoswa ngumfanekiso omde, 'Amarhanisi eNdiza,' owamiswa ngo-2001. Iboniswe njengowona mfanekiso mkhulu wesinyithi ehlabathini yiGuinness Book of World Records, emi emihlathini eyi-110 ubude ubude. .

Olu fakelo lusebenzisa iitanki zeoyile kunye nemibhobho ukwenza umsebenzi wobugcisa omangalisayo obonisa umhlambi wamarhanisi ebhabha kwisibhakabhaka esikhazimlayo, kwaye kuthiwa ngomhla ocacileyo, unokubonakala ngokulula ukusuka ngaphezulu kweemayile ezintlanu kude.

Ukuhamba ngaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezintathu ukufikelela kufakelo olulandelayo, ukuwela i-Deer. Eyakhelwe ngo-2002 ngaphandle nje kweGladstone, abahambi bonwabele ukubona inyamakazi eyi-75-ubude kunye ne-50 yeenyawo ezinde, eyakhiwe kwiitanki zemithombo yeoyile, iphosa ucingo olukhulu. Ukudlala izilwanyana zasendle zaseNyakatho Dakota, kuyacaca ukuba uGreff wayefuna ukugxininisa ubuhle beli lizwe lijongelwa phantsi.

Ukufikelela kwindawo eqingqiweyo yesithathu, kuya kufuneka ukuba udlule kwidolophu yaseLefor, eMantla Dakota. Nangona ekuboneni kokuqala kunokubonakala ngathi yidolophu yesiporho engafanelekanga ukuba ungabhinci ibhanti yakho yolule kwaye wolule imilenze yakho, kukho isuntswana lembali elinokuba nomdla kwabo banomdla kwizinto ezingaqhelekanga zangaphambili.

I-Lefor State Bank yathatha into enkulu xa ukuDodobala Okukhulu kwaqengqelekela e-United States ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1900 kwaza kwagqitywa ukuvala iingcango zayo, kodwa kukho isiqwenga sesakhiwo ekusafuneka sidiliziwe: igumbi eligcina iibhanki. I-arch yesinyithi isebenza njengophawu lokutsala umdla kule ndawo incinci ibharhileyo yezitena, kodwa njengoko usondela, ifoto yebhanki kwiminyaka yayo ibonisa iindwendwe ngendlela ebaluleke ngayo le ndawo ingabalulekanga kangangeshumi leminyaka eyadlulayo.

Emva kokuma kwakho emngxunyeni eLefor, intloko malunga neekhilomitha ezili-12 ezantsi ukufikelela kwi-Grasshoppers ebaleni, eyagqitywa ngo-1999. Ukusukela ku-12- ukuya ku-40 ubude beenyawo, ezi zinambuzane zinomtsalane zibonakala zikwindawo yazo, zikonwabela ukolulwa okude E-Greff yongeza iintsimbi ezizayo ezibonakala ngathi yingqolowa ukwenza lo mfanekiso ubonakale ungowenyani.

Intloko malunga neekhilomitha ezili-15 ezantsi ukufikelela kufakelo olutsha, i-Fisherman’s Dream, ebonisa iqela leentlanzi ezinkulu ezixhuma emoyeni kumzamo wokubamba i-dragonfly enkulu. Ngelixa ukrolo ngalunye lusebenzisa izinto ezinomdla, oku ngokungathandabuzekiyo sisiqwengana somsebenzi esimibalabala nesintsonkothileyo kuhola wendlela wonke. Kugqityiwe ngo-2007, ezi trout zinkulu kufuneka zibonwe.

Ngaphezulu nje kweekhilomitha ezine kumazantsi uya kufikelela kwisakhiwo sesihlanu se-Enchanted Highway, iPheasants kwiNdawo yoKhuseleko. Apha, inkuku eyi-13,000 yeepawundi ime ecaleni kwenkukhu eyi-12,000 yeepawundi kunye namantshontsho azo amathathu, nganye inesisindo esingama-5,000 eepawundi. Ukwakhiwa kwemibhobho kunye nomnxeba wocingo, lo mfanekiso uqingqiweyo uye waba yindawo yokuhlala iintaka ezininzi kule minyaka idlulileyo.

Indawo yokumisa yesithandathu yahluke kakhulu kubaphambili bayo: ngelixa lonke olunye ufakelo luzukisa ukuthembeka kunye nokumangalisa kwendalo, lo endaweni yoko uzukisa umntu obalaseleyo. UTeddy Roosevelt uphakama kwakhona ebonisa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo omkhulu wocingo kamongameli wama-26 waseMelika egxadazela indlela yakhe ezantsi kuhola wendlela ngehashe lakhe. Kwiimitha ezingama-51 ubude, le ndlela yokumisa ecaleni kwendlela yenzelwe ukuhlonipha umenzi weNkqubo yeSizwe yePaki yase-United States.

Ukugqibela kunye nokudala kwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yiTin Family, engaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezingama-3 kumazantsi eTeddy Roosevelt ekhwela kwakhona. Olu fakelo, lubonisa usapho olwenziwe ngeepali zefowuni, iitanki zefama, kunye nezinye izinto ezininzi zesinyithi, sisiphelo esifanelekileyo Uhambo lwendlela : ngabantu baseMntla Dakota bokubulela ngokuthatha inxaxheba ekuhlaleni kwabo, kwaye ndikubone uphume ngamaza noncumo.

Kuhle ukwazi

I-Enchanted Highway ayaziwa ngezixhobo zayo, ke qiniseka ukuba ugcwalisa irhasi kunye nokutya ngaphambi kohambo lwakho. Malunga neekhilomitha ezimbini emva kwesavenge sokugqibela, uyakufika kwidolophu yaseRegent, eMantla Dakota. Apha, uya kuba nakho ukufumana isikhululo segesi kwaye, ukuba unethamsanqa, enye yeekhefi ezimbini zedolophu ziya kuvulwa.

Kukho iZiko labaTyeleli eliHlanganyelweyo kuHola wendlela ngokunjalo, kodwa isenokungavuleki kuxhomekeke kweliphi ixesha lonyaka ohamba-hamba ngalo.
