Ok, so we have heard about the blind guy that did the whole A/T (except Katadyn(sp), but we sheltered with a guy by the name of Zero-Zero a few nights ago and had a great conversation with him. He seemed to know the trail inside and out and told us what we had ahead of us (we were still in the Smokies). His information was very helpful. He did the A/T a few years back and was doing a section hike with Just Dave.
Fast forward a couple of days to find out that Zero-Zero is blind! You wouldn't know it as you speak with him and he didn't say anything about it. Turns out that he is traveling with a filming crew that is doing a documentary on him and his effort. I have know idea how he did/does it but it's apparently true. Have to do more research, but everyone seems to think that he is blind.
Amazing!
Maybe's that's why Zero-Zero is his trail name: instead of 20/20 vision, it's 0/0...?
