Anyone who sets a goal to thru-hike the A.T. is a dreamer. I KNOW.
Those who actually step foot on Springer are definitely beyond that.
But a blind person, REGARDLESS of whom is hiking with him...
HAT'S OFF TO YOU !
I wish him success in his hike, but more importantly I hope he has a wonderful time exploring what his world has become now...and that is probably more than ANY OF US CAN IMAGINE.
But can you imagine? Close your eyes and THINK ABOUT IT.
