Dera la Frances Lake ndilo nyanja yaikulu kwambiri kum'mwera chakum'mawa kwa Yukon . Mikono yake imayanjanitsidwa mu V-mawonekedwe ndi labyrinthine yotambasula zizilumba ndi inlets zotchedwa Narrows; ndipo m'mphepete mwa nyanja mumakhala mphepo ndi mitsinje, mitsinje ndi malo ogona. Pansi pamphepete mwa madzi, nkhalango yayikulu imagawaniza nyanja kuchokera kumapiri akutali. Nyanja yochititsa chidwi ya nyanjayi imapanga malo okhala nyama zakutchire; komanso kwa miyoyo yodzikuza yomwe ikufuna kudzidzimitsa okha kukongola kwakutali kwa dera.
Mbiri ya Frances Lake
Frances Lake inangowonjezeka pamsewu pokhapokha kumapeto kwa Campbell Highway mu 1968. Pambuyo pake, njira yokhayo yopitira ku nyanja inali kuyendetsa ndege-ndipo pasanakhalepo, ngalawa kapena phazi. Komabe, anthu akhala akukhala pafupi ndi Frances Lake zaka zoposa 2,000 (ngakhale kale, nyanjayi idadziwika ndi dzina lake, Tu Cho, kapena Madzi Akulu). Dzina limeneli linagawidwa ndi anthu a Kaska First Nation omwe adamanga misasa yopha nsomba pamphepete mwa nyanja, ndipo amadalira zinyama zakutchire zokhala ndi moyo.
Anthu a ku Ulaya anafika koyamba ku Frances Lake mu 1840, pamene ulendo wotsogoleredwa ndi Robert Campbell unagwedezeka m'mphepete mwa nyanja pamene akufunafuna njira ya malonda ku Yukon m'malo mwa Hudson's Bay Company. Patadutsa zaka ziwiri, Campbell ndi amuna ake anamanga kampani yoyamba yogulitsa ku Yukon kumadzulo kwa Frances Lake Narrows.
Anapatsa mtundu wa mtundu wa anthu anthu zida, zida ndi katundu wina pofuna kusinthanitsa ndi zovuta zomwe Kaska anazitenga kuchokera kumadera oyandikana nawo. Panthawiyi Campbell anapatsa nyanja dzina lake lakumadzulo, polemekeza mkulu wa kampani ya kampani.
Kulimbana ndi mafuko oyandikana nawo a mtundu woyamba komanso vuto la kupereka kampando zomwe zinapangitsa kuti kampani ileke ntchitoyi mu 1851.
M'zaka zotsatira, Frances Lake anaona anthu ochepa okha kunja kwa alendo-kuphatikizapo wasayansi wina wa ku Canada dzina lake George Mercer Dawson, ndi oyang'anira golide a m'zaka za m'ma 1800 pamene anali kupita ku Klondike. Golide anapezedwa ku Frances Lake mwiniwake mu 1930, ndipo patatha zaka zinayi chigawo chachiŵiri cha Hudson's Bay Company chinakhazikitsidwa. Komabe, kumanga kwa Alaska Highway posakhalitsa kunapangitsa njira yakale yogulitsa malonda, ndipo nyanjayo inatsitsidwanso kuzipangizo zake.
Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge
Masiku ano, anthu okhawo okhalapo pamphepete mwa nyanja ya Frances Lake ndi Martin ndi Andrea Laternser, banja lachi Switzerland lomwe liri ndi kuthamanga kwa Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge. Malo ogona, omwe ali pafupi ndi kumapeto kwakumwera kwa mkono wakumadzulo, anakhazikitsidwa ngati malo osungirako okhaokha omwe amawamasulira ku Denmark mu 1968. Kuchokera nthawi imeneyo, wakula kuti akhale malo amtendere ndi bata kwa iwo omwe akuyang'ana kuthawa kuthamanga kwachithamangidwe moyo kunja kwa North True Canada. Zili ndi malo ogona okongola komanso alendo asanu, omwe amamangidwa kuchokera ku matabwa a kumidzi ndipo akuzunguliridwa ndi nkhalango.
Mzinda wakale kwambiri ndi Bay Cabin, womwe unali mbali ya malo osungirako malonda a Hudson's Bay Company omwe anamusiya zaka za m'ma 1900 asanasamutsire nyanja.
Nyumba zonsezi zimakhala zokongola kwambiri, ndipo zimakhala ndi mitsempha yosungunuka ndi udzudzu, chimbudzi chosungira komanso chitofu cha nkhuni kuti chizitentha usiku wa chilonda cha Yukon. Mvula yowonjezera imapezeka mu kanyumba kamodzi komwe kumadzaza ndi sauna yake yomwe imatulutsidwa ndi nkhuni; pamene kanyumba yaikulu ndi malo opatulira kumene munthu akhoza kumasuka kutsogolo kwa moto pamene akugwiritsa ntchito laibulale yodzazidwa ndi mabuku a Yukon.
Malo ogona ali ndi mfundo ziwiri zosiyana. Chimodzi ndi malingaliro ochititsa chidwi kuchokera pamphepete mwa mapiri, omwe amapezeka m'mapiri okongola. Kumayambiriro ndi madzulo, mapiri amakhudzidwa ndi phokoso la pinki kapena lawi la moto, ndipo pamasiku omveka bwino amatchulidwa mosiyana ndi zakumwamba. Chowonekera chachiwiri ndi makamu osakondana omwe amakhala ogona. Monga mtsogoleri wokwera phiri ndi sayansi ya sayansi ya chilengedwe, Martin ndi ulamuliro pa moyo mu malo ovuta kwambiri padziko lonse ndi gwero la nkhani zosawerengeka zosangalatsa.
Andrea ndi wamatsenga ku khitchini, akudya zakudya zapanyumba zophikidwa.
Zomwe Muyenera Kuchita ku Lodge
Ngati mutha kudzikweza kutali ndi chitonthozo cha malo ogona, muli njira zambiri zofufuzira madera oyandikana nawo. Njira yodzitanthauzira kudutsa m'nkhalango imakufotokozerani zozizwitsa za zomera zamagetsi ndi zodyera zomwe zimafesa kumtunda kuzungulira Frances Lake. Mutha kugwiritsa ntchito kayak ndi mabwato oyendetsa panyanjayi kuti mufufuze malo ambirimbiri, kapena mukhoza kumufunsa Marteni kuti akupatseni ulendo (mwina ndi bwato kapena bwato). Maulendowa amapereka mwayi wokaona malo okalembeka a ku Hudson's Bay Company, kuti atenge zithunzi zokongola za m'mphepete mwa nyanja kapena kuyang'ana nyama zakutchire.
Mbalame ndi zinyama zomwe zimagwirizana ndi zamoyo za Frances Lake zimayenda momasuka, ndipo palibe chimene chimakuwuzani zomwe mungathe kuziwona. Zinyama zazikulu kuphatikizapo agologolo, nkhono, beavers ndi otters ndizofala, pamene mphalapala kawirikawiri imapezeka m'mphepete mwa nyanja. Ngakhale kulibe, zimbalangondo ndi lynx zimakhala kumalowa ndipo mimbulu zimamveka m'nyengo yozizira. Nyama zamoyo pano ndi zodabwitsa, nazonso. M'chilimwe, ziwombankhanga zimanyamula ana awo pachilumba pafupi ndi malo ogona, pamene ma flotillas omwe amapezeka pamadzi amadzi akuyenda m'nyanjayi. Asodzi ali ndi mwayi wopita ku Arctic gray grey, kumpoto kwa pike ndi nyanja.
Nthawi Yowendera
Nyengo yaikulu ya ogona imakhala kuyambira pakati pa mwezi wa June mpaka kumapeto kwa September, ndipo mwezi uli ndi chithumwa chosiyana. Mwezi wa June, miyendo yamadzi yapamwamba imapangitsa kuti malo ochepetsetsa afike posavuta, ndipo dzuŵa limangoyamba kugwedeza usiku. Madzudzu ndi ochuluka panthawiyi, komabe, mpaka kumapeto kwa mwezi wa July-mwezi wotentha kwambiri, komanso nthawi yabwino yopenya mphungu zakutchire. Mu August, usiku umakhala wakuda ndipo udzudzu umayamba kufa - ndipo m'madzi akumwa amakulolani kuyenda pamphepete mwa nyanja. September ndi ozizira, koma amabweretsa nawo ulemerero wa mazira akugwa ndi mwayi wochitira umboni chaka chilichonse cha sandhill crane migration.
Malo ogona amatsekedwa chifukwa cha nyengo yachisanu, ngakhale kukhala kosatheka pakati pa mwezi wa February ndikumapeto kwa March. Panthawiyi, nyanjayi imakhala yozizira kwambiri ndipo dziko lapansi liri ndi chipale chofewa ndi chisanu. Usiku uli wautali ndipo nthawi zambiri umayang'aniridwa ndi Kuwala kwa Kumpoto , ndipo zinthu zimachokera ku chipale chofewa kupita ku skiing.
Kufika ku Frances Lake
Kuchokera ku likulu la Yukon, Whitehorse, njira yofulumira kwambiri yopita ku Frances Lake ndiyo kuyendetsa ndege. Ndegeyi ndizochitikira koma imadula-kotero kuti iwo amene ali ndi nthawi yopuma angasankhe kuyenda pamsewu. Malo ogona angakonzeko kayendetsedwe kakang'ono kuchokera ku Whitehorse kapena Watson Lake, kapena mungagwire galimoto m'malo mwake. Mulimonsemo, mungayendetse kupita kumalo a msasa ku Frances Lake, komwe mungachoke galimoto yanu musanayende ulendo wopita ku malo ogona ndi njinga zamoto. Kambiranani ndi Martin kapena Andrea pasanapite nthawi kuti muthandize kukonza zonyamulira, komanso kuti mudziwe njira zitatu zomwe zingatheke kuchokera ku Whitehorse. Chofupi kwambiri chimatenga maola pafupifupi eyiti, popanda kuima.
