[nabs-l] Tourism Stratagies?

[Corbb O'Connor]

Jim,

If it helps convince them at all -- us blind folks (lumped in the  
disability category) do get a free parking pass to national parks.  
Saves you the $20-30 in park admission for the vehicle and any extra  
parking fees. I doubt that's the sticking point, though, but wanted to  
let folks know that is available.

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.
