Thank you Elizabeth! We are loving it!

It’s so cool that you and your sister are doing this together. My brothers and I probably never will do this together lol.

My favorite book and it’s a good read is called Blind Courage it’s about Bill Irwin, who was the first solo blind thru-hiker

[@BenontheTrail]

Nice! I'll have to check that out. I love stories like that. We have met a few vision impaired people on the trail and they are inspiring to say the least!

The Nora virus is as far north as 50 miles beyond the Smokies. Cheering you on.
