Blind man walking : views of the American landscape from the Appalachian Trail / Brian Thompson.

Thompson, Brian, (author.).

Summary:
"Two old college buddies contemplate hiking the Appalachian Trail.  The problem is, one of them is severely vision impaired and his ability to follow a simple footpath is in serious question.  They decide to first try an overnight hike in Arkansas; an unmitigated disaster.  Upon their return, one fellow's wife declares he is too old, fat, and blind to be crashing about in the woods.  The other’s wife notes how lucky they are to have learned their lesson before attempting anything as seriously challenging as the Appalachian Trail.  Humiliated, their dignity in tatters, (and perhaps not the fastest learners), they decide to go anyway.  This is their story, traveling America’s greatest footpath; the places, the people, the history." -- back cover.
