  • Rafting Course and Instructor’S Materials
    Rafting Course and Instructor’s Materials The first responsibility of a raft guide is to get all their passengers safely down the river. Forward The contents of this manual reflects the rafting course taught in the Adventure Sports program at Garrett College. The materials contained in this manual follow closely the content of the course and represents the evolution of the course over the years. The materials in this manual represent over twenty-five years of instruction. The manual is designed to complement the American Canoe Association (ACA) Level 4 Rafting (Paddle) instructor’s course. An objective in creating this manual was to provide materials that will encourage the teaching of the ACA course. The ACA outline has been synthesized into seven chapters (eight including the teaching materials). An effort has been made to include most of the topic on the outline. The manual is presented on the author’s website for instructors who want to augment their courses with the materials. An effort has been made to represent both east and west rafting. There are some differences. Also, rowing oar rigs is included in the strokes and maneuver sections. This helps to expand the usability of the manual. Representing the east/west divide and the Figure 0.1: Powerful Popper – Running R-1, the author is running paddle versus oar rig are Figure 0.1 and Power Pop-up on the Upper Youghiogheny in Western Maryland in Figure 0.2.

  • Life in Mauna Kea's Alpine Desert
    Life in Mauna Kea’s by Mike Richardson Alpine Desert Lycosa wolf spiders, a centipede that preys on moribund insects that are blown to the summit, and the unique, flightless wekiu bug. A candidate for federal listing as an endangered species, the wekiu bug was first discovered in 1979 by entomologists on Pu‘u Wekiu, the summit cinder cone. “Wekiu” is Hawaiian for “topmost” or “summit.” The wekiu bug belongs to the family Lygaeidae within the order of insects known as Heteroptera (true bugs). Most of the 26 endemic Hawaiian Nysius species use a tube-like beak to feed on native plant seed heads, but the wekiu bug uses its beak to suck the hemolymph (blood) from other insects. High above the sunny beaches, rocky coastline, Excluding its close relative Nysius a‘a on the nearby Mauna Loa, the wekiu bug and lush, tropical forests of the Big Island of Hawai‘i differs from all the world’s 106 Nysius lies a unique environment unknown even to many species in its predatory habits and unusual physical characteristics.

  • SNOWMASS DEBUTS NEW BIKE LOOP from Downhill, Cross-Country to Road Biking and New Expanded Trails, Bike Snowmass Offers Options for Everyone
    Media Contact: Patsy Popejoy 970-922-2285 or [email protected] PARADISE ON TWO-WHEELS – SNOWMASS DEBUTS NEW BIKE LOOP From Downhill, Cross-Country to Road Biking and New Expanded Trails, Bike Snowmass offers options for everyone SNOWMASS, Colo., (May 2016) – The same mountain that offers more than 3,300 skiable acres and 4,406 vertical feet in the winter becomes a two-wheel paradise once the snow melts. With an ever-expanding network of more than 75 miles of mountain bike trails and an expansive rental, and instruction program, options abound for everyone from the budding beginner to the thrill-seeking seasoned downhiller. Snowmass is constantly expanding its bike product for travelers. The new Snowmass Loop bike trail debuts in late June, with 24 miles of single track combining over 10 different trails which can be split into three or four different segments. Whether it’s a gravity-defying rush of a world-class downhill trail or gentle single-track through meadows bursting with wildflowers, Snowmass offers some of Colorado’s best biking options. Downhill Mountain Biking – It’s all downhill from here Cyclists seeking an adrenaline rush need to look no further than Snowmass Bike Park, where downhill biking trails weave their way from the top of the Elk Camp Chairlift down to the Snowmass Village base — a thrilling descent of 2,893 feet. Advanced downhillers can get their thrills on the 3.2-mile, 1,400-vertical-foot Valhalla freeride trail with jumps, table tops and a wall ride. Additional lift-served options include Vapor and Viking, two trails that offer up a combined 6.2 miles of downhill over bridges and berms and through forest and meadows, from the top of Snowmass’ Elk Camp chairlift to the base of the mountain.

Box 52 Hawaii National Park, HI 96718 November, 2004 Mauna Loa Reconnaissance 2003 Executive Summary and Acknowledgements The Mauna Loa Reconnaissance project was designed to generate archival and inventory/survey level recordation for previously known and unknown cultural resources within the high elevation zones (montane, sub-alpine, and alpine) of Mauna Loa. Field survey efforts included collecting GPS data at sites, preparing detailed site plan maps and feature descriptions, providing site assessment and National Register eligibility, and integrating the collected data into existing site data bases within the CRM Division at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). Project implementation included both pedestrian transects and aerial transects to accomplish field survey components and included both NPS and Research Corporation University of Hawaii (RCUH) personnel. Reconnaissance of remote alpine areas was needed to increase existing data on historic and archeological sites on Mauna Loa to allow park managers to better plan for future projects. The reconnaissance report includes a project introduction; background sections including physical descriptions, cultural setting overview, and previous archeological studies; fieldwork sections describing methods, results, and feature and site summaries; and a section on conclusions and findings that provide site significance assessments and recommendations.

  • Topographic History of the Maui Nui Complex, Hawai'i, and Its Implications for Biogeography1
    Topographic History ofthe Maui Nui Complex, Hawai'i, and Its Implications for Biogeography 1 Jonathan Paul Price 2,4 and Deborah Elliott-Fisk3 Abstract: The Maui Nui complex of the Hawaiian Islands consists of the islands of Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, and Kaho'olawe, which were connected as a single landmass in the past. Aspects of volcanic landform construction, island subsi­ dence, and erosion were modeled to reconstruct the physical history of this complex. This model estimates the timing, duration, and topographic attributes of different island configurations by accounting for volcano growth and subsi­ dence, changes in sea level, and geomorphological processes. The model indi­ cates that Maui Nui was a single landmass that reached its maximum areal extent around 1.2 Ma, when it was larger than the current island of Hawai'i. As subsi­ dence ensued, the island divided during high sea stands of interglacial periods starting around 0.6 Ma; however during lower sea stands of glacial periods, islands reunited. The net effect is that the Maui Nui complex was a single large landmass for more than 75% of its history and included a high proportion of lowland area compared with the contemporary landscape. Because the Hawaiian Archipelago is an isolated system where most of the biota is a result of in situ evolution, landscape history is an important detertninant of biogeographic pat­ terns. Maui Nui's historical landscape contrasts sharply with the current land­ scape but is equally relevant to biogeographical analyses. THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS present an ideal logic histories that can be reconstructed more setting in which to weigh the relative influ­ easily and accurately than in most regions.

We use δ C to evaluate the contribution of C3 and C4 plants to deep soil organic matter to reconstruct pre-human contact vegetation patterns along a wet to dry climate transect on Kohala Mountain, Hawaii Island. Precontact vegetation assemblages fall into three distinct zones: a wet C3 dominated closed canopy forest where annual rainfall is N2000 mm, a dry C4 dominated grassland with annual rainfall b500 mm, and a broad transition zone between these communities characterized by either C3 trees with higher water-use efficiency than the rainforest trees or C3 trees with a small amount of C4 grasses intermixed. The likelihood of C4 grass understory decreases with increasing rainfall. We show that the total concentration of rock-derived nutrients in the b2-mm soil fraction differs in each of these vegetation zones.

SERIES n A 5 o The world-famed volcano of Kilauea, eight miles in circumference An Appreciation of the Hawaii National Park By E. M. NEWMAN, Traveler and Lecturer Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration §HE FIRES of a visible inferno burning in the midst of an earthly paradise is a striking con­ trast, afforded only in the Hawaii National Park. It is a combination of all that is terrify­ ing and all that is beautiful, a blending of the awful with the magnificent.
