Ruth took us out to mile marker 122 this morning and we were off. Before too long, we came to Swift Creek. There being no shoulder on the bridge, John and I waited until there was no traffic was coming in either direction, then we ran for our lives. OK, it probably wasn't that dramatic, but we didn't spend much time looking at the scenery, we needed to get across quickly.
On we walked until we arrived at the Chef 2 Go Cafe, featuring sausage and biscuits for .99 cents. Two very nice ladies greeted us as we walked in, ordered our biscuits and watched as one lady was trying to learn how to run the cash register and the other was trying to teach her how. The sausage and biscuits were good - very good.
We walked on until we came to our home away from home, Kountry Air RV Park. Assembled out front, were Carol and Ruth, Gigi and Don, the owners, Gigi's mother and Crystal a resident of the park. Also, Jolie Blonde and an unidentified dog. They held up our Coast to Coast banner for all to see and we stopped for a break and a photo opportunity. John and I haven't seen a celebration like this since 4 people did "the wave" for us back in Springerville, AZ.
We had to break up this celebration as we still had 5 more miles to go. A short distance from the park, we spooked 3 deer as they were grazing along the road. We passed the A & J Bent and Dent Grocery Store, but more about that later.
Carol and Ruth were waiting at mile marker 135. We did 13 miles today and all we had to show for it was a spoon. Stay tuned ...
