Our Veteran gift hunt takes place this year starting on 16 February as we all arrive at the camp in Johnson County. This year's Veteran is a 21 yr Army fella who is now wheelchair bound. I managed to sidestep some of the issues with him trying to base out of the hunting cabin by making reservations for him, his wife and 14 yr old son at a place called the "Page House" located in Dublin, Ga.
I'm still trying to figure out a way for him to get his powered chair up the couple steps (3 or 4) and into the cabin for some meals and simple fellowship. I'm no carpenter, nor really savvy about what might work, but am thinking that a couple 3/4" 4' X 8' sheets of plywood could make an adequate "temporary" ramp to enable him to get up those stairs and into the cabin. (chair is 30" wide and about 725 pounds with him in it and he does not have a "simple" non-powered chair we might simply carry)
If there is anyone here that might be able to give some assistance or advice as to what we could do for this issue, I'm all ears. It's simply not practical for me to make two trips down (400+) miles each way or to even arrive a day early this year as someone is driving down with me (actually two fellas) and he cannot arrive prior to the 15th (coming from Wisconsin).
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
