To Sheila Fava and anyone else who took interest in her posted poem
wheelchair fishing, etc.

There is a fellow outside of Denver who is building a fully-accessible
boardwalk trail to the top of a mountain.  About a mile so far, the
trail will eventually be about 6 miles long.  Follows a mountain stream,
and has turn-outs with a railing wherever there is a good fishing hole.
Also accessible decks for overnight camping or just a lunch stop.
The trail is 8-10 feet wide wooden decking, with switchbacks to
guarantee a suitable grade.  Accessible restrooms at the base.  I don't
have the address handy, but the organization he's created is WOW
(Wilderness on Wheels), and you can get it from the Denver phone operator.
