Andrew,

It probably would give you more access to people and things you don't have 
in a rural setting.  NFB centers do a lot of good but Vicki, on the list 
here, is active in the American council of the Blind.  She might be able to 
give you some direction along those lines, too.  There is a large NFB rehab 
training center here in Denver and I've had friends go there and learned 
better cane traveling techniques, computer training, and lots of other such 
things.  They invited me to be a guest speaker once but they didn't know I 
was no longer involved with that organization, haha, but I went anyway and 
nobody hung me from a tall tree or shot me or anything.  Others on the list 
might have suggestions along these lines, too.

Phil.
