Disabilties and Camping.

My better half has MS (Multiple Sclerosis), has had for 20 plus years. There are things to consider when having someone with a physical disability camping. Lighting at night, hugely important, level ground, and less roots in pathways, again huge. All in all, other then lighting, and ability to get around most things are the same, but if you don't want to worry too much, check for handicap accessable areas. If there are accessable areas where you are, then there was some forthought for this issue. You are not going to be able to stop all trips, and falls, but you can prevent a majority of them. Each situation is different. Will blog later about disabilities, and camping. It is so important for everyone to get the opportunity to camp in all environments.
