Truckee, California is worth visiting on its own. It is also home to Candace Cable a nine-time gold medal winner in winter and summer Paralympic competition.
Looking for a motivational speaker? See her site or these news items.
The North Tahoe-Truckee area is home to many extreme athletes who are disabled, including Mark Wellman, who was the first paraplegic to climb El Capitan and the only paraplegic to climb Half Dome.
See an interview with Mark included in the article "http://www.sierrasun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060613/NEWS/60613010&template=printart">A Tough Road" from the Sierra Sun and his site No Limits.
Preparing for a visit there in September I came across this resource: Disabled Sports USA Far West at www.dsusafw.org (530) 581-4161
