Subject: [QUAD-L] Go for "walks"?
How far do you guys dare to drive your chairs
away from your houses?
When I moved, I really wanted to move to a
place by a big park with trails, etc. My sister had lived in a planned
community that had trails throughout the neighborhood that connected parks,
etc. That was my big must have. But the house I found did not have that, but
was to good a deal to pass up. One house had everything I wanted, right next
to this huge park that went forever, but the house was too small. But now
the city is building this trail that goes for like 15-20 miles, it is a
jogging trail / equestrian trail (half paved half compact clay. Anyway, it
looks like it will be about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile from me. Once I get a cell
phone I can use and my new chair back from the shop, I might try going to it
alone. I rarely go anywhere by myself. Partly nowhere to go, partly afraid
what if my chair died. I go up to the new park down the street, but it's
just a big open park with a paved walkway to the kids play area. I often
take my niece there. I live in a suburb of mostly just houses, but the new
freeway has brought lots of stripmalls. There is not much land left, but
around the corner is about a 10 acre lot. I'm hoping something cool will go
in, not just more houses.
