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

One of my New Year Resolutions is to go hiking in Tonghou, Hapen and Fuba Hiking Trails so I often do research online to read relevant articles about these three trails and I plan to locate their trailheads during my winter vacation. The Hiking Club will go hiking in Hapen Hiking Trail on the first day of Chinese New Year. I hope I could complete some preparation in advance. However it has been raining for weeks in Taipei, it is really cold and wet. I hardly find chances to go out but only have to stay at home, feeling sick of this lousy weather. Yesterday, after I had a lunch with my Xiufen, it stopped raining. I packed my little bag immediately after I got home, and rode my scooter swiftly to Wulai.
我的新年新希望之一是希望在今年度能走桶后越嶺、哈盆越嶺以及福巴越嶺這三段越嶺。所以我一直很想在寒假期間到烏來找這三段越嶺的登山口，也時常上網查閱一些關於越嶺步道的資訊，做一些行前的資料蒐集工作。此外，The Hiking Club預定在大年初一時，不畏風雨地走哈盆越嶺，我希望自己能在行前先完成一些準備。但是連續幾週以來，台北的天氣非常溼冷，很難找到機會從事戶外活動，我幾乎要放棄這個念頭。每天窩在家裡，開始覺得渾身不舒服，快要抓狂。但在昨天下午二點多，和秀芬吃完午飯後，雨突然停了。我在回家之後，馬上收拾小背包，騎著我的摩托車，往烏來狂飆。

I often ride to Wulai so I am very familiar the road to Wulao. But the scenery along the road varies every season and it is fun. This time is a season for Cherry Blossom. Even though the sky is grayish, I still felt pleasant because the pink cherry blossom dotted along the road.
因為以前經常騎車到烏來兜風，所以往烏來的路自然是十分熟悉。但是拜訪的季節不同，沿路的景致相對不同。這次往烏來走，沿路山櫻花盛開，雖然天空的顏色是灰濛濛的，但是有這些粉色的花朵裝飾，依然讓人覺得神清氣爽。

Before entering Wulai main street, I turned to Huanshan Road to Wulai Waterfall. After entering Wulai Waterfall region, there were more cherry trees, and I felt like I entering a pink forest.
即將進入烏來老街前，我轉往環山路，往烏來瀑布的方向走。在進入烏來瀑布後，櫻花樹更多，開始有粉紅色的樹林的景致。

Before arriving Fushan village where the trailheads of Hapen, Fuba, and Kalajimo are, I have to pass through Xinxian village. Before entering Xinxian village, I saw a spectacular scene which I don't know how to describe. It's a huge cross sitting on the top of a hill. It brought a feeling of dooms day.
到福山村前，須先經過信賢村，進入信賢村前，我在環山道路上看見一個讓我不知道怎麼形容的景象：一座巨大的十字架豎立在山頂，帶著一種末日的孤寂。
