It was nearly twenty years ago when I first met this guy. He rode what was then called a “power base”, a racier model of a motorized wheelchair. His name was Bob Miller, who just happened to be a quadriplegic.

Tim Kobasic - Trails & Tales   Comparing MI/WI conservation efforts      1/6/2012

Last November I had the opportunity to catch up with John Huff, a biologist from Wisconsin, and compare notes regarding deer harvest assessment between his state and Michigan.
