ATVs put wheelchair-bound man back on trails

Amazing story.....I wish more people thought this way...

Sunday July 23rd, 2006
For Jeff Anderson, four-wheeling is a way to see more backcountry than he might otherwise experience. Anderson, 45, of Lakewood Township, has been four-wheeling for about 15 years. He started shortly after he was injured in a car crash. He is a paraplegic. "I was an outdoors guy," he said during a lunch break on our trail ride earlier this month. "After I got hurt 16 years ago, I spent about a year and a half not going beyond my driveway. A friend came by and let me drive his four-wheeler. The next week I went and bought my own."

That is a great story.

July 4th a few years ago we went to Gator Run Park in East Texas and met a family... I believe they were from Louisiana. The grandfather had been in a bad accident and had lost most of the use of his legs... his son and daughter-in-law helped him from the wheelchair to the seat of his Honda Rubicon and away he went! LOL

An inspiring individual, the wonders of automatic transmissions and technology.

Ride Safe,
