Madam Chairperson:
I second Dan's motion with regard to his nomination of trekking poles as a
necessity for blind hikers, or for off road travel around the farm. The
telescoping model described by Dan is especially handy when traveling, as it
will fit in to the luggage.
I also own solid wooden models which are beautiful and tough. I have one
made of white ash, a couple of maple and one made from a small tree that had
been surrounded by a large vine, so that the finished product resembles a twist
bit.
I use one all of the time when on our 16 acre property, and my little
grandsons now think they have to have their own trekking poles when we are out
walking.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
