Hi. As i've said here before, the state I live in just got me a brand new braille.note m-power but even though I've giventhe justiification as to why I feel gps would be benificial and important, I don't think they are going to get it, and in fact I can't even get a response to my e-mails on the topic. I don't know if the counselor has just been gone for several days or what, But I wondered what others did to afford the gups which I can't outright right now or I wouldn't worry about it. Are there places who help with grands or technology loans or anything I can try other than my state rehab system? Any ideas would be great. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leigh Anne" <mauriceandleigh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I hope to bring to bear all of my experience as a Certified Blindness Professional as well as hoping to keep alive my personal sense of adventure.
For my part, I could envision a wonderful time exploring America's hidden treasures in the Heartland.
Frankly, Death Valley sounds kind of fun, too, with the cautionary note of extreme attention given to safety. From what I understand, it's brutal down there!
I wish I had along with me the Sendero Group GPS in the Himalayas back in 2001 when I served as Base Camp Communications Manager for the 2001 NFB Everest Expedition that featured Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind guy to summit the highest peek on earth and subsequently those on each of the seven continents.
Of course, I'd definitely welcome the chance to be part of a future WayFun exploration of America's Mid Atlantic Region, as well. It offers beautiful rolling hills and valleys, vast eastern shore beeches, fast paced urban travel, and plenty of nooks and crannies in which to get lost up in those Appalachian Hollers.
I would consider this to be structured discovery travel at its best. Fun & Safe Travels too all, Maurice Peret National Orientation & Mobility Certified (NOMC)Mechanicsville Virginia
