Caption:
This 1995 image depicted a man seated in his wheelchair that was positioned in front of a log retaining wall, and a domed tent in the background, situated atop an elevated camping site. The wall height of approximately 18 inches minimized the effort needed to transfer in and out of a wheelchair onto the tent level. The wall was also at a good height for others to sit, and made it possible to communicate at the same eye level as the wheelchair user. Designing recreation sites with the mobility challenged in mind, makes for an overall more user-friendly environment for all, and is quite often, made even more efficient from a utilitarian standpoint.
