We started walking before dawn today. We are now in the eastern time zone and somehow became confused as to when the sun comes up. It did come up, was there any doubt, just as we walked through Shellman.
We crossed the Ichawaynochaway Creek. Big name, little creek. We passed through the hamlet of Grave and it's many cotton fields.
Just before Carol picked us up at the package liquor store in Dawson, we started talking to a man standing in the parking lot of the county courthouse. He had on an orange t-shirt and white pants. We told him about the walk and he was very interested. He said a man and a dog had walked through here not long ago.
When I asked him where he bought his orange knit hat. He said he was a prisoner of the Terrell County Jail and you didn't have to buy them, they are free. He was a trustee out on a job assignment. Another first, we have talked to our first incarcerated person. I think I'll buy my orange hat.
Today we found .50 cents. Stay tuned ...
