[Blindtlk] Loud Places

Just mee, but I don't believe trailing to be an adequate mobility method. 
While it keeps your directionality, there is nothing telling you about what 
may be in your path.  I have used it at times myself, but very sparingly, 
and in non-populated places.

Like you, I don't like places that mask any orientation clues I might need. 
But  shorten up on the cane when using in a crowd, where you can use your 
skills, but the cane would not get in anyone's way.

Hello everyone,
    I am in need of any suggestions about traveling in places where there is 
a lot of noise, and sound can't be relied on for clues. I was in Starbucks 
last week, and there was a lot of people. I trailed the wall from the cash 
register to the place where I needed to pick up my coffee. There was a 
little girl in my path, and I didn't realize it. Her mother got mad, and 
told her daughter to move. I want to avoid this from happening again. So, I 
am in need of some tips. Thank you in advance!
