2008-02-02 The Quest of Trailheads PART III 哈盆越嶺，福巴越嶺和卡拉基莫步道

According to the articles I read online, I would arrive at Fushan Village soon after passing through the registration station. I spent about 15-20 minutes riding on the road but didn't see any sign of the village. I started wondering if I was on the wrong road. I thought of the route I had taken, I thought there wasn't any branch road, I bet that is the only road to Fushan Village. I should still stick to the road and kept going straight even though I was a little bit worried.
我從網路文章上判斷，經過檢查哨後，應該很快就可以抵達福山村。可是將近15-20分鐘的車程，卻完全沒有聚落的蹤跡。我開始想著，我是否是走錯路，有點想調頭看看路況。但是仔細想想，進入山區的路只有這一條，我先前也沒有看到任何岔路，雖然心底發慌，但是硬是繼續向前行。

Finally, I saw Fushan Village, which means I was in the right direction. I started looking for Fushan Elementary School because the three trailheads are near the school. But unexpectedly, the distance between the school and the entry of the village is several kilometers. I wondered how many students and teachers are in the school in the kind of remote mountain village. It must be a really small school.
過了不久，終於看到福山村。先前看到的網路文章寫著，三段越嶺的登山口就在福山國小附近，我心底想，既然已經進入村落，那麼福山國小應該在村落附近。出乎意料之外，進入福山村到福山國小之間還有一段頗長的路途。在這深山野嶺的學校，不知道有幾個學生和老師，應該是個超迷你的小學。

After another 15-to-20- minute ride, I finally saw Fushan Elementary School and saw few direction signs. The direction signs are wooden boards carved with transliteration of aboriginal language. There was only a direction sign indicating Kilajimo Hiking Trail and no direction signs for Hapen and Fuba, the two national hiking trails. So weird!
看到福山國小之後，終於陸續地看到一些木製方向指標，這些指標上標記著原住民語言翻成普通話的地名，而唯一登山口方向的指標，竟然是卡拉基莫步道，反而兩條國家級的登山步道：哈盆和福巴，竟然沒有任何方向標示。

I went to Kilajimo Hiking Trail straightforwardly and soon I saw Fushan No. 1 Bridge. The trailhead of Kilajimo Hiking Trail was right at the another side of the bridge. Haha! I found it! I was happy to find the first trailhead and I knew that I could find the trailhead of Hapen Hiking Trail as long as I found Kilajimo Hiking Trail because they are connected with each other.
我先往卡拉基莫步道走，很快地就抵達福山一號橋，在橋頭前可以看到卡拉基莫步道在橋的另一頭。哈！超高興地卡拉基莫步道，找到，那麼代表哈盆越嶺就在附近。

卡拉基莫步道入口，卡拉基莫步道其實應該是哈盆越嶺的一部份，步道連結哈盆越嶺，全長約2.5公里。The entry of Kalajimo Hiking Trail, a part of Hapen Hiking Trail. Its length is about 2.5 kms.

I planed to find the trailheads of Hapen and Fuba Hiking Trails and to go hiking in Kalajimo Hiking Trail. However, I saw a warning sign right next to the trailhead which indicated that landslide happened along the trail, and it was getting dark. I thought I would better find the trailheads and go hiking when the weather is nice. So I set out to find the trailhead of Hapen Hiking Trail. I rode along the only road which made me feel I was going into the deeper side of mountains. When I was getting worried again, I saw the sign of Hapen Hiking Trail
我最早的計畫是到烏來找哈盆越嶺和福巴越嶺的登山口，然後到卡拉基莫步道散步。但是，登山口前的標示警告步道坍方，同時天色已經開始昏暗，我想我最好是找到登山口後，改天再來登山。所以我繼續往山上前進。山路蜿蜒，一路往山裡走，我又開始擔心我是否走錯路時，我看到哈盆越嶺的指標。

Actually, I was very disappointed when I saw its entry at first sight. Its entry is small and trash was littered around the entry. I was very angry at those hikers who litter their trash on trails. Why on earth some people just don't cherish the environment! My enthusiasm suddenly got evaporated because of the dirty entry. I thought Hing Club and I will visit this place soon so I just took few pictures, and I set off to find the trailhead of Fuba Hiking Trail.
其實，當我第一眼看到哈盆越嶺的登山口，我好失望喔！登山口小小的，周圍非常髒亂，到處是垃圾，我很生氣，不知道為什麼登山客不好好愛惜環境。頓時之間，熱情全部蒸發。我心想反正大年初一時Hiking Club會再來這裡，我也沒興致自己繼續探險，隨便拍幾張照片。繼續找福巴越嶺的登山口。
