Taking the Scooter for a ride.

Daily I ride my new Phantom electric scooter around the halls of the Dallas Retirement Village, going to lunch, dinner, and various meetings and events.  It has become the most pain-free way to move about, staying off of my bone spur plagued foot. Yesterday, we reversed rolls, and we took the scooter for a ride in our camper van to Toledo. Jeanette needed to return some books she had on loan from the Toledo History Center, and we took the scooter along to be able to do a bird walk on the cement walkway along Depot Slough called the Depot Slough Path. Despite overnight temps in the 20's, and roadside snow in the coast range, by mid-morning when we arrived in Toledo the temps were in the 40's with bright sunshine. We quickly discovered that I could coordinate my scooter speed with Jeanette's walking speed, and we could conduct a bird walk as normal, and to my great joy, without foot pain! Here is the link to our eBird Observation List. The scooter fits perfectly in the back of the van and is easy to load and unload using an 8" wide board. Our imagination is on fire with future rides for the scooter.
