Getting away from life’s hubbub

“There are not many places I can go—not with this scooter, not if you want to see something,” says Frank Hart who rolls down the jetty road in his wheelchair while his friend Steve Bonin walks beside him. They keep up quite a pace. “I walk every morning by myself,” says Steve, “and every evening with Frank.”

“I’ve seen Bigfoot hunters here,” Steve adds. “There are some big trees broken right off—ones you couldn’t get your hands around, and they were sure Bigfoot did it, so they were out hunting Bigfoot, see if he was there. It was a storm of course that took down the trees.”

After a pause he continues, “This is a nice, quiet place to get away from the hubbub of life—and get some exercise.”
