Wednesday, June 2nd

We got an early start today to beat the heat. Started walking by 7:45 am. We walked today in rolling hills and gullies and rivers. Well, at least one river. That's what the sign said, Pease River. It was more like a wet spot. There are trees here, not big, but they are trees. And deer, that's what the sign said. But, the only one we saw was dead beside the road.

John drove back to Matador and the RV park and we had not gone a mile, when we saw a man in a blue robe, carrying a walking stick made into a cross. He was walking on theother side of the road and headed in the opposite direction from us. We should have seen him as we walked the last mile or two, but didn't. He wore a white beard and was a bit strange looking. We drove back to Matador, had lunch and got ready to move to Paducah as we had found an RV park there. We thought we would see this man as we drove back, but he was no where to be seen. Strange.

We are at the Brooks RV Park in Paducah, Texas. More about Paducah tomorrow. Today we found 27 cents, a screwdriver and a Texas truck license plate. Stay tuned ........
