I hiked/camped a couple days on the AT a long time ago, it's really amazing all the history and stories that go with it, even have a couple books on it of people who did the whole trail start to finish, good stuff

I had a book about a blind man that hiked it with his dog. I just looked to get the name and sadly see he has passed. Upped

I DO remember seeing a story on a blind guy doing a hike through years ago. I had no idea he had passed, but his courage and tenacity still amaze me. Thanks for pulling the story up.
That is so cool! I have done short jaunts and I too am amazed at the history and the stories told by people along the trail.
I wish that I could be out there today as it is so beautiful and a perfect day to run out into the sunshine! Someday! The long trail will be mine! tip!
