This morning we drove back to Hillcrest Baptist Church and started walking east toward Prattville. John had his umbrella and I wore my rain gear as the weather forecast was rain. We shouldn't have bothered, the sun came out and it was a great day to take a hike.
Nothing unusual about todays walk. We passed by several more produce stands that were closed. A man in a pick-up truck hauling his Kaboda tractor behind stopped and talked. He informed us that this was the small community of Billingsley. There were no buildings in sight, so I asked him how can you tell. He just laughed and said the community was off the highway and that there was a high school, 3 churches and about 200 families that lived there.
He also added that his sister-in-law worked at the Fat Girls BBQ Cafe just up the road. We had seen it driving out to the starting point, but didn't have the nerve to ask him if she was one of the fat girls.
On we walked until we arrived at the Country Mart, just across the highway from Fat Girls BBQ Cafe. On the door was the usual sign, "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service", but the owners had added, "Pull up your pants".
We "sprinted" across Little Mulberry Creek as there was very little shoulder to walk on.
Up ahead were Carol and Ruth. 13 miles today and we found .01 cent. Stay tuned ...
