Is it 2021 yet?

For most people around the world, 2020 has been very difficult and challenging. I spent a large portion of this year at home due to the stay at home orders, and being in the high-risk group due to having muscular dystrophy and breathing on a ventilator. Thus, my plans for doing trail reviews were put on hold as I would have to travel outside of the county, which we're not supposed to do during our strict stay at home orders.

Fortunately, there are wheelchair accessible trails near where I live. Here is one that kept me sane from going bonkers being home months on end.

Coyote Creek Parkway

 

February 27th, 2020

 
Few weeks later the stay at home order began.

June 2020

First time I was able to go for a hike

July, 2020

Safe distancing and wearing a mask signs are posted

August 16th, 2020. A few days later

devastating wildfires broke out.
We lived close to an evacuation order area

so we packed our vehicles with emergency supplies

in case we had to leave at a moments notice.

Thanks to the brave efforts by our firefighters

we didn't have to evacuate. 

November 2020

A hike that was most needed after being home

for a couple of months.

 

December 5th, 2020 

Last hike of the year.

December 18th, due to the surge of covid-19 case,

stricter stay at home orders went into effect.

I am hopeful now that with covid-19 vaccines starting to be delivered, that by the summer of 2021 I will be able to make accessible trail reviews again.

Stay home. Stay safe. Save lives.
