A legally blind hiking magazine editor who went missing along the Appalachian Trail in Virginia was found Saturday after he set a small fire to attract rescuers.
Kenneth Knight, 41, of Ann Arbor, Mich., was found in the Snowden area near the James River, about nine miles from where he was last seen six days earlier. He was dehydrated and hungry but uninjured. Knight is an editor for Backpacking Light magazine and an experienced outdoorsman. He was hiking a 60-mile section with friends Sunday when he said he wasn’t feeling well and left the trail. No one had seen him since.
