Tuesday, May 11th

We started at marker 385 today and walked 10 miles to 395. Saw several Pronghorn antelope along the way. We walked through Kenna and are on the outskirts of Elida.

Meanwhile, Ruth and Carol explored the town of Elida. They stopped in at Memories, a community center, which is only open on Tuesdays, where a man keeps his cowboy and train memorabilia. It also contains an aviary with 30 parakeets. While there, they met a lady that told them that yes, the town has a library, but that it was only open on Thursday, but if they wanted to go there, she could probably find someone with a key, but they probably wouldn't like the book anyway because they were all old. They also found out that the towns only cafe was only open on Saturdays.  And, that the Baptist Church was always open, because the last robbery in town was in 1928.

We found a bright colored highway workers vest and a pack of unopened pack of 10 scouring pads.  Stay tuned .....
