Friday, June 11th

We were walking by 6:30 am today. It had cooled down a bit as there was a thunderstorm last night that Carol and John somehow managed to sleep through. Ruth and I didn't and neither did Jolie Blonde as she was in our bed at the first clap of thunder.

We passed through the small town of Lockett and kept going. Nothing much going on at Lockett today. In the wildlife department, we saw 5 dead armadillos, road kills. Had not seen many of them before today. Also saw a dead snake.

We found 47 cents in coins, all of which we're embedded in the asphalt. So, if you have a coin stuck in the asphalt, who do you call? Coin Busters! With a small screwdriver and a flip of the wrist, out they pop. Asphalt to be cleaned off later with gasoline.

Tomorrow we walk through Vernon, Texas, our last town. Stay tuned .....
