Okaaaaayyyy....

As a disabled person, I all for disability access to public places. I'm also for common sense.

The Appalachian Mountain Club's recently built Galehead Hut, accessible only by a rugged five-mile hike over the jagged granite of New Hampshire's Twin Mountains, was required to have a wheelchair ramp to its front door under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
... and if you get your wheelchair over that five-mile trail, I'm sure you'll want to have that ramp to get the rest of the way in the door.....

To quote Jan: Uffda!
