Accessible/Disabled Travel

Being physically or mentally challenged doesn't have to keep you at home! Here are ways to "trot" the globe, so to speak, for less.

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

One of our best trips was when the hotel gave away our accessible room and had no choice except to upgrade us to the Presidential Suite. It's another trip to the Big Apple, today on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2unyw8o

It will be a little while before I can get the full reports together, but if you'd like to see the highlights (and a couple of disappointments) from our recent Midwest Baseball Tour, go to this link at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2de8sat

I hope this article will help folks with chronic pain who are thinking about going the hostel route for cheap travel to make an informed decision:

Hostels With Pain

While hostels aren't for me anymore, I drew upon my experience staying in them before I got too sick. And I think that some folks with different sorts of conditions might still be able to go hosteling.

It's music day here at The World on Wheels. Today's Travel Tune finds Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens singing about this week's destination. One of my favorite songs: http://tinyurl.com/395av7f

Travels with a Wheelchair

Interview with wheelchair-bound traveller Tim Musick, who hasn't let his disability stop him from seeing the world.

Wheelchair hiking? At most places, that means an extended sidewalk around a state park's parking lot. There are a few places, though, where a wheelchair can really get back to nature. On Monday, we featured a beaver pond trail near Redding, California. Tomorrow, we'll be featuring a superb accessible mountain and river trail in California's Gold Country. Today, we feature 8 wheelchair accessible hiking trails in Southern and Central California ranging from urban hills to remote sequoia groves. It's all at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/3ydq7fv
