Re: [QUAD-L] Go for "walks"?

Hi Greg,   Hows you doing?  I go everywhere in my chair, it doesn't worry me!  The furthest I've been is about 8 hours away, and on my own I've been 2 hours away, all by train.  It doesn't worry me though.  I just make sure my chair is all in check, that I've got everything in my toolbag, then I make sure I've got my mobile and a r*pe alarm in my pockets in such a way that I can get to them quickly should I need to!   Love Smurf xxx   In a message dated 08/10/2005 23:02:05 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 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. Greg
