On the way to the Forest, we tried to get a map at the Chamber of Commerce. It was closed. Next, we stopped at the Florida Highway Patrol office. As we were leaving the parking lot, I noticed that they had a really fine looking handicapped ramp coming from the parking lots at either end of their building. After Ben and I recovered from laughing ourselves nearly silly, I began thinking about this ramp to nowhere.
Federal law provides that all buildings used by the public, have to be accessible to disabled folks.
This building nearly complied. There was a wheelchair ramp provided. Life doesn't always make sense. Partial compliance with the rules often results in non-compliance. It doesn't matter how beautiful and well-landscaped the ramp is if it won't allow one to get to the destination.
