  • WESTERN CAROLINIAN SPECIAL FALL ISSUE PAGE 5 Red tape slows Bar tram Trail effort _ encouraging membership and/or ** *J Between 1773 and 1778, Philadelphia naturalist William Bar- tram toured the Southeast, covering the areas that are now the states of Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. A Bartram Memorial Trail is now being established by the Bartram Trail Society over some of the same paths probably hiked by the naturalist. Eventually, a continuous trail may run throughout the states that Bartram traveled. In Alabama and Georgia, trails already exist. Bartram Trail Society members have used the descriptions given by the naturalist in his journal to locate the paths that he might have taken. In North Carolina, the Trail Society has, for the last three years, been involved in flagging the route that the trail will take, if it is approved by the Forest Service. Much of the research on where Bartram hiked in the state has been done by Walter G. McKelvy, a Brevard area retired landscape architect. McKelvy is coordinator of the Bartram Trail section in NC. Dr. J. Dan Pittillo, biology professor at WCU, co-directs with William T. Haseldon the trail effort in NC. He has been working to get the trail established for two years and is well acquainted with the problems that such a project runs into. Pittillo explained that although most of the proposed trail between the NC state line and Franklin has been flagged (marked), and status of National Recreational Trail has been requested, the Forest Service has not yet approved the Trail. "Bureaucratic red tape has been a problem. We have encountered a wait and see attitude," said Pittillo. One of the problems frequently mentioned by Pittillo is trail criteria. Trails on Forest Service lands are usually required to meet certain standards outlined in the Park Service trail construction guide. One requirement that has given NC trail planners a headache states that "the slope of the trail should not exceed 9 per cent." The area that Bartram hiked in NC, which is now mostly part of the Nantahala National Forest, has many slopes that exceed a grade of 60 per cent, according to Pittillo. He said that construction of a trail to meet Park standards on such slopes would be a difficult, if not impossible, task. "The Society does not have the money to build an Appalachian- type trail. What we are asking for is more of a treadpath." He added that he does not know if such a trail will be approved. If a trail that is steeper than is usually allowed is not approved, the use of private lands may be needed for some parts of the trail. The Trail Society has contacted the landowners that would be involved and has received a mixed response to the proposal of a trail on their lands. The owners of land that has a public jeep trail running through it that is under consideration for an alternate trail route, said they would not mind a trail, as long as its users did not litter. Pittillo said the Society is encouraging membership and/or volunteer help. Persons interested in either joining the Society or helping with flagging the trail, should contact Pittillo in his Stillwell office. He also said that he would be glad to give directions to students who would like to hike the NC section of the trail that has been flagged, but not constructed. BARTRAM MEMORIAL TRAIL To reach the trail's starting point (coming from Franklin), turn left on the Dillard-Highlands highway, numbered 246 and 106. Proceed for about 7 miles, passing large waterfall on right, and turn right at a small grocery store. After about two miles, this road passes a package store and turns to dirt. As you drive over a hill, the road forks. Take the right fork, and then at the next fork, go left, which goes uphill. Shortly after this point, the road will really begin to climb and will be covered with large rocks. Park here and start walking.
