It was a bit chilly this morning when we headed out to the starting point. Also, there was a 30 percent chance of showers. It sprinkled a bit on us as we drove out, but by the time we arrived at the starting point, John and I decided to take a chance, no umbrellas and no rain gear. It was a good choice as we didn't get a drop of rain.
After our walk yesterday, we decided to find the Starkville Habitat ReStore. We found it with no problem, even though it is somewhat out of the mainstream business area. There we met Jim Wilson and Ross Collins. Both were retired and both were volunteers.
The ReStore was a metal warehouse building. It was full of the usual ReStore merchandise. Jim and Ross seemed to be enjoying themselves, so after a quick look around, we said our good-byes.
We soon passed by an old cabin or maybe it was a shed. Made of hued logs with mud chinked between the logs to keep the weather and critters out. Neat old building.
On we walked passed Old Greensboro, haunted by ne'er-do-wells and generally bad men.
At about the 10 mile mark, we came to the town of Eupora and as we walked over the overpass, I could see a McDonald's in the distance. Oh, wouldn't a ice cold sweet tea taste good right now. So close but yet so far away.
The last thing of interest we saw was an abandoned railroad track with grass and trees growing right in the middle of the track.
Today we found bungee cord, a penny, and a fork in the road. And, yes, we took it. Stay tuned .....
