[nabs-l] canes and water park rides

[Cindy Bennett]

Hi everyone,

This summer, I am going to a water park. When I go to theme parks, I
typically store my cane somewhere outside the ride area or on the exit
side of a roller coaster platform. However, many water rides are such
that you get on the ride in a different location, often quite a walk
away, from the place where you get off of the ride. My cane is too
long to fit in many inner tubes, and I doubt that it would be a safe
thing to bring along especially if it came loose.

I am wondering if a telescoping cane would be the best for this,
because I know that many water rides have shoe holders. It would just
be annoying, because I would have to rely on someone to guide me back
to these shoe holders that are often at the entrance of the ride.

So what are your suggestions for storing a cane during water rides?

Thanks.
