Field Notes
See the pictures, read on for the stories.
The latest Instagram pictures rotate through, along with links to their quick stories. But there’s so much more to tell. Some from our own experiences, others that are shared. From young to old, from local to international, the AdvenChair is making the rounds!
“The wild requires that we learn the terrain, nod to all the plants and animals and birds, ford the streams and cross the ridges, and tell a good story when we get home.”
—Gary Snyder
And the stories we can tell!
We love to share our news and yours. Have an AdvenChair story to tell?
Disability Advocate Mindy Alexander Advocates for Accessible Family Adventures in Central Oregon
Mindy Alexander has amassed a large online following in her mission to break down barriers surrounding children with special needs. When her youngest daughter Emsley was born with cerebral palsy, Mindy chose to go public, sharing an intimate look at her family’s daily life. By using her Instagram account @mindyalexander, she highlights what she calls “inchstones” that celebrate small, meaningful physical improvements and daily wins with Emsley’s complex medical needs. Participating as a family, especially on vacation, is important to her. Learn how the AdvenChair opened up the rugged canyon and trails of Smith Rock to Emsley and her family on their AdvenTour.
