Izintaba Ezinhle Zasebusika e-Colorado

Nansi imfihlo mayelana neColorado ukuthi abantu abaningi abaqapheli: Yebo, sinesipiliyoni esiphezulu sezwe. Kodwa ngisho nalapho umhlaba uhlanganiswa iqhwa, isimo sezulu lapha simangalisa ngokumangalisayo. Ungakwazi ukubhekana nazo zonke izinkathi ezine ezine ntambama. Futhi izibhakabhaka cishe zihlale ziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.

Yingakho i-Coloradans ingagcini nje imithwalo yemisebenzi yangaphandle ukuze ishicilelwe futhi ihlobo. Siphuma unyaka wonke. Ukuhamba ngezintaba kungumsebenzi wonyaka.

Akuwona wonke amathrekhi afanelekile ezimweni zasebusika, noma kunjalo. Imigwaqo ephakeme ephakeme ingase ivalwe phansi ngenxa yengozi ye-avalanche kanti abanye bayodaka, njengoba iqhwa liwa bese lincibilika. Ezinye izitimela zihlanganiswa iqhwa, ngakho-ke kulula ukulahleka uma ukhona ezindlini zezinhlanzi futhi ungaqapheli.

Ngenxa yalokhu, sincoma njalo ukuma ngesiteshi sokungena ngaphambi kokuphuma kunoma yikuphi ukunyuka kwebusika. Izingozi ziyazi ukuthi yiziphi izindlela ezihamba phambili kulolo suku nosuku oluthile. Kubuye kuhlakaniphe ukuwazisa ukuthi uphandle lapho, uma kwenzeka kwenzeka okuthile.

Ungakuvumeli lokho kukuvimbele ekuhambeni okwehleka kwebusika, noma kunjalo. Ukuhamba kweqhwa kuncike ekutheni kunabantu abaningi kakhulu ehlobo kanti imibono ibonakala ngendlela emangalisayo, ngendlela ehlukile.

Ukuhamba okuhamba phambili kwebusika kulula ukufika nokuvikelwa emoyeni, okungenza umoya obabazayo ube nomusizi. Ukuhamba okuhamba phambili akukona isikhathi eside kakhulu (amahora amathathu max). Futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, zonke zihle kakhulu.

Nazi izindawo ezingu-13 ezihamba phambili zokuhamba ngezinyawo eColorado ebusika.
