Day One of Second Leg is Complete

Day one of Second Leg, although a short day, is in the books. David drove down from Murfreesboro this morning and we actually started walking at 1:45 pm. We started walking where we left off in Evergreen on July 3, 2009. Thanks to Glenn Brooks he picked up where we left off also. As you may recall Glenn and Glenda Brooks made our arrival to Conecuh County and Evergreen very special on July 3rd and was at the starting point today to take pictures as we began. He made several pictures along the way and then picked us up at the end of the day to shuttle us back in. He is also graciously shuttling us tomorrow (Sunday). Big thanks to you Glenn and Glenda, we could not have covered the distance we did today without your help.

We walked 9.2 miles today, and Pat walked ALL the way. She was hoping to at least get in 3 to 5 miles, made it all the way, and plans to continue on Sunday. If the weather cooperates and the rain moves on out and we can make good time we hope to be through Georgiana on Sunday. We walked until dark today which was about 5:10 pm.

We continue to meet and talk with good people. We had a conversation while walking with a hunter headed in the woods to his stand for the afternoon. A couple saw us while driving by and stopped on their return trip checking making sure we were ok and prepared for the rain because it was beginning in areas. We did get caught in light shower but soon walked out of it. I have some pictures saved that Glenn has emailed me so I will post those with this and call it a night and get ready to walk again.

Thanks to all of you that are following us with this venture. Please help us and share the links and tell everyone you can about “Grace Place”
