I am using this blogging site to keep friends and family informed about my life for the next 7 months or so of blindness training at the Colorado Center for the Blind. I have Usher's syndrome which results in hearing loss and progressive vision loss. Now the state of Colorado is paying for me to go through an extensive training program. There will be lots of challenges ahead for me and I am both apprehensive and excited!!!! The training consist of being blindfolded 8 hours a day 5 days a week and learning how to function completely without sight.

Off roading

Travel was a lot of fun on Friday. We went off roading. Took a trail off a road and hugged a giant tree that three of us didn't fit around. We went through a grassy field and followed a trail that would disappear in the tall grass every so often. Eventually we came to a hill that dropped off in front of us. At first we weren't sure what to do. But we decided to stick our canes down the hill and follow them sideways. I had a blast being all daring and sliding down a hill without sight. We found our way back to the center on another trail. Did take a while to find though in that grassy hilly field area. It made for a nice adventurous detour from regular travel.
