Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes

The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes are a large network of trails suited for walking and biking and even horseback riding and canoeing on some parts. They connect Ethnic Qarsherskiyan communities on the Virginia Peninsula to the outside world, historically speaking, and have been around for hundreds of years, possibly dating back to the early 1600s. The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes mostly run through forests, marshes, and Bald Cypress swamps, connecting the cities of Newport News, Yorktown, and Williamsburg without touching any major roadways or neighborhoods. There is even a tunnel under Denbigh Boulevard called the AL-Qarsherskiyy Tunnel which allows people to walk across Denbigh without getting ran over. The trails and paths extend to Lake Erie and even down to Cape Hatteras in the North Carolina Outerbanks, meandering through Appalachia. The FBI and other organizations have trouble monitoring the trails and keeping track of the underground movement of spices, herbs, and other products from the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community, which they trade with the outside world using a battering system or using the US dollar. Its been suspecting that drugs have been smuggled along these routes, mainly Afghan Opium and Marijuana varieties and a plant from Yemen called Qhat, but such claims are unfounded and aren't substantiated.

The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes manage to sneak right passed the Huntington Pointe Neighborhood in Newport News, Virginia and they even have a tunnel under Denbigh Boulevard.
