The Bells Mountain Trail in Clark County is obviously in no way connected to the more famous Bells Mountain Wilderness in Missouri. The trail which bears its name does not ascend or in any way touch the actual mountain. But it bears some of the most beautiful views of the mountain from directly across the valley. This was taken today (2015-01-11), on an extremely cloudy, foggy and generally soggy day. But look at what you get to see, even in the middle of our waterlogged winters. One drawback is that you have to pass through a lot of clear-cut forest on the trail side of the valley. I say that, realizing now that almost none of these vistas would be possible otherwize.
OK, let me just get to this and be done with it. Living in the Northwest, I've known many people, including ex-family members, who depend upon the timber industry for their livelihoods. I have watched the decline of that industry in this region and the devastating effect it has had on dozens of communities and the families who live in them. Further more, I will add for comparison purposes, an historical anecdote related to me by my father. After he left the army air corps at the end of WWII, he entered academia as a professor of Italian literature. To this day, he derives a somewhat ironic pleasure from the reputation both Italy and Greece have garnered for their dry and arid climates; how the world sees them and is attracted to them for bright sunshine on rocky, bleached coastlines with hardly a tree in sight. You see, it wasn't always that way. Both Greece, and Italy in particular, were once lush and verdant places, covered with forests that were cut down to satisfy the needs of both of those vast and long-lived republics and empires. What we know of their climates today only came after the trees were gone. And if it was good enough for the Greeks and Romans, then why not for the good old U S of A? I know all this. That there are no simple answers to complex questions. That there are people whose lives turn upside down when an economy whithers and dies. And that they certainly deserve as much protection as the resources others clamber to keep out of their hands. I know all this, and I walk through scenes like this one, or drive by them on my way to somewhere else, bearing the full weight of these contradictory forces in my mind. And I see that it has to be this way. And that it will always be this way. But, still, it breaks my heart.
This sturdy steel bridge crosses Cedar Creek on the downslope of the first five-mile leg of the Bells Mountain Trail. It was made by the Continental Bridge Company of Alexandria, VA, and can withstand 6,000 pounds of weight (according to a plaque on the handrail). So unless you plan to park the Clydesdales on it , you should be good. Of course, should it happen to collapse under you and send you hurtling downstream, you may take comfort in this fact: the plaque provides a convenient 800 number for you to call and get assistance.
