Nice show, you guys. The 5-day itinerary was particularly cool. I hope you’ll do something similar for the summer too!
Thanks @facebook-503554263:disqus we do our podcast every Friday. We usually ask for questions on Wednesday via Facebook and Twitter. I’m sure during the summer we’ll be talking a lot about State Parks, Swimming holes and cool treats. 🙂
I love the 5 day plan! I’m going to pick just one of those days to do on my day off.
Awesome @facebook-1527213726:disqus let us know which one you pick and how it goes!
These are all great suggestions. What would you suggest for things to do with a family/kids?
@disqus_HUy2oQNIQx:disqus great question. Be watching Wednesday as we ask our Facebook and Twitter followers to submit questions. If we pick yours we’ll give you a shout out. ~ Eric
wow! been wanting to go to Mount Bonnell is there any kind of ramp, or is it just the steps? I guess you just answered that. Is the “gradual incline” paved or is it gravel? hard packed dirt? My wife’s wheel chair (or even crutches don’t do well in gravel, grass or or lose dirt).
Great question, to be honest I don’t know the answer as we’ve always taken the stairs. I’ll see if I can find out for you though! ~ Eric
I’ve never walked up the incline, but I have seen it in passing. It is definitely not paved, and looks to be loose dirt/gravel.
