So a couple of weeks ago I went to this Ukrainian Village deal with my mom and my little bro and sis. It's supposed to be a historical simulations sorta deal, and claims to be mostly wheelchair accesable. I was there years ago when I was a kid with school, but I didn't really pay attention to how unacessable it was (had no reason to then).
Well, first off all the roads/trails are gravel and very few of them were packed and prepaired properly, meaning you go about 4 feet and the frount casters are burried. Most of the buildings had stairs or a big step to get in to them. The few "ramps" either had large gaps or a large raise in frount of them. Someone woth lesser arm strength or without people to help them like I did wuld probablt get stuck pretty easily.
That's not to say I didn't have a good time. Thanks to my borthers help I was able to get in to the 2 buildings I actually wanted to see (Ye olde gas station and ye olde blacksmith). Of course, my brother and sister had to stop and look at every pig and chiken and horse. I could care less. They've grown up to be such town kids. Drives me nuts. If I want to see chickens (Although for the life of me I can't think of why) I'd go to my aunts. But all in all, it was nice to get out for a while and spend some time with my family.
