Thankfully Teddy enjoys hiking as well, whether he's rambling on his own or riding in his chair. He's usually fairly content in his chair, as long as we're moving and he's not in a mood. The other weekend AJ, Teddy and I went exploring a local state park.
His chair can cover a variety of terrain, including even the sandy incline that was a pain to push through and up, but we made it. Unfortunately we may have been on a horse trail, which was fine until we got to the water crossing. It was narrow enough that AJ could jump it safely, as could I. But Teddy couldn't jump it without one or both of us going in the water. And I couldn't get his chair across the water without one or both of us getting soaked. And given that it was about 30 degrees (like every other "spring" day this month), water crossings where we got soaked weren't a good idea.

So we backtracked while AJ waited for us, which wasn't super long because it was less than a half mile (and down the sandy slope instead of uphill).
Nature is good for the soul, even with misadventures.
