Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey talk with Karl Ritter, whose trail name is Bats, about long distance hiking including his recent end to end hike on the 2200 mile long Appalachian Trail.

Learn how he used other senses and tools to compensate. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Check out ViewPoints<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A weekly, half hour audio program for people living with low vision<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Find out more about the show and get links to the podcasts at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="http://www.viewpointsplus.net/">www.ViewPointsPlus.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Visit us on Facebook at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ViewPointsPlus">http://www.facebook.com/ViewPointsPlus</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Follow us on Twitter at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/@ViewPointsPlus">www.twitter.com/@ViewPointsPlus</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Subscribe to the listener forum by sending an e-mail to:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="mailto:ViewPointsPlus+Subscribe@GoogleGroups.com">ViewPointsPlus+Subscribe@GoogleGroups.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Send suggestions or comments to: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="mailto:contact@ViewPointsPlus.net">contact@ViewPointsPlus.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
