Ruth, having returned from grandmother duty once again, took us just east of Waycross. It didn't take long to enter the town. Our first obstacle was a bridge with a sign, "No pedestrians on bridge". The bridge had very little room for us to walk, so we simply went under it. After going through a small maze of streets, we emerged on the other side.
John call Trip McKinnon, the pastor of First Pres. Church. He asked Trip if he wanted to join us for a few miles as we walked through Waycross. Trip got all excited and said he would meet us somewhere on Highway 82. Also, on Sunday, he had invited us to the weekly meeting of the Exchange Club, a civic service club, similar to Lions, Kiwanis, etc.
Trip was a no-show for the walk, but he was waiting for us at the Exchange Club. We sat down to a very good lunch and Trip introduced us to the members of the club.
In order to attend the lunch, we had to stop early and clean up, so, after lunch we walked an additional 3 miles to give us our 12 miles for the day.
We found a banner that had, "NO CREDIT CHECK" imprinted on it, a tennis ball, a Mexican one peso coin and .19 cents, US currency. Stay tuned ...
