A long hike can be much more than a walk in the woods. 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. Karl has very little vision and did the first 500 miles
alone. Learn how he used other senses and tools to compensate.
