I decided to go on a long drive today, to see how far I could go. They have a trail system though our city and neighboring cities they are just fixing up. It used to be mostly a farming area in the desert, so it has lots of canals. They paved a 10 foot wide path along 1 side for jogging, bikes, etc. Dirt on the other side for horses. It starts by my house and I followed it for 14 miles through 2 cities. I could have gone further, but it crossed over railroad tracks. I might have been ok in going over them, but it was in a quiet location and I did not want to get stuck. There was about a 3 inch gap between the edge and the rails. With a low drained battery, I did not want to risk it. It's a fun trail, the canal is maybe 20 feet wide and has lots of fish in it. Many kinds, the grass carp are 3 feet long. The trail connects a bunch of town parks, so I took my time and checked out the parks as I went through. Though some of the trail is just threw commercial development areas. After I was done, I didn't want to risk the drive back, so I had called home to get picked up. That's the furthest I've ever driven, 15 miles by the time I was finished. My chair has a mileage count on the LCD panel.
