[Hidden-tech] Wheelchair accessibility questions

[Tish Grier]

The "rail trail" that runs from Northanmpton to
Amherst is wheelchair accessable, and there are
different parts of it that offer very different
scenery...also, there's a small trail in Easthampton
(although I'm not sure what the scenery's like
there--haven't been on it yet.)
