[nabs-l] Tourism Stratagies?

[Jim Reed]

Hello all,
Now that finals are done, I am begining to once again get the itch to travel. This time, I think I want to head to California's national parks and national seashores. And as usual, my broke college friends can't afford to go (I'd be broke to if it was not for VR paying my tution, and SSDI paying monthly benifits). Also, I am not a fan of the whole guided tour scene.

Other than driving myself, what options exist for a blind traveler wishing to get to inaccessable places such as Yosemite National Park? What stratagies have worked for you? What resources exist? 

A few months ago, I emailed this same question to the president of the NFB's Tourism Group (Division?), and I never recieved an answer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Jim

P.S. I am looking for people to go on this adventure with me.
