Over the years, I have had the opportunity to hike with many amazing hikers.  But few of them are as impressive as Ken Knight.  Knight has low vision, but that hasn’t stopped him from hiking all around the world.  And Ken is such a good soul that he has amassed an amazing group of fellow hikers who just love him.

So, it was quite a shock to learn that Ken is missing along the Appalachian Trail in Virginia.  Here are some links related to the search:

So, I would ask anyone who reads this to say a prayer for Ken and those who are searching for him.  And needless to say, if you have any information about Ken’s whereabouts, please contact the appropriate authorities.
