Happy Trails!

As you've probably figured out by the lack of posts here, we've retired from accessible travel blogging. However, we will still maintain the list of Northern California wheelchair accessible trails and there's still a ton of content on our site that will stay as an archive. It's been fun and rewarding. We'll still be traveling but will no longer be posting about our travels.Happy Accessible Trails to you all!www.musickchannel.com

Water, Water, Everywhere in McCloud, California

  McCloud is famous for its very clean and pure drinking water. The town relies on three springs and pumps the water from it's reservoir to residents' taps with no treatment, only occasionally treating when tests reveal something that needs it. This water comes from Mount Shasta, which looms over everything here. It gets a ton of snow each winter and the volcanic soil filters the meltwater that eventually comes out very pure in the area's springs. Today, we're going to visit some of the…

  • Going wine tasting can be so much more that just sampling. There are real people who have put their heart, soul, and finances on the line to bring that juice to you. Some big, some small. At The World on Wheels, we've been tracking down a mysterious wine maker in the Sierra Foothills for years. Today, we present the culmination of that search with Our Encounter with Fate.

  • It's been way too long since we at The World on Wheels have spent any quality time in the City by the Bay. We start to rectify that today as we end a five month hiatus and spend a day in San Francisco to go with yesterday's pub crawl.
