Logan-LJ Wilde's efforts to help his daughter Luci stay on the way have now grown into a full-grown business. It all started when Luci emerged from her Riding backpack.
“It was born with a rare genetic condition,” said Wilde. “It is essentially a paraplegia that cannot run alone.”

Wilde refused to change his family's lifestyle and made himself a work and used his skills as an engineer for trade to build a solution. What he came up with was essentially a multi -star wheelchair that could be strapped to the person's waist.
It is now known as a “cascade car”.
“We started meeting people wherever we went,” said Wilde. “We met dozens of people who were interested in it and thought it was a great thing for what we did.”

Now the company of Wilde, Huckleberry Wandering, hundred pre -orders later sold its 1000th chair this week.
“I wanted families to be able to go where they wanted to go to the mountains,” said Wilde. “And what I didn't notice is exactly how many people, how I did.”
Wilde said that the state parks in Alabama and Wyoming have also taken over the idea and bought the Cascade carts to place them on the trailheads.
