I left Rayville just before 7:00 am. I got stopped by the Rayville Police Department because she just didn't know what I was doing. She asked me a few questions and then set me free.
I got out to route 80 and headed west. There was quite a bit traffic. I think it was school and workers going to work. After getting out away from town, the traffick slowed down some, but was still more than it has been this past week.
After a couple of hours I started noticing the shin splints in my left leg started getting very sore with some swelling, only 8 1/2 more hours to go...uhg! Pray .pray..pray! I was going to take some ibuprofen so I went for my first aide kit.....gone. It had fallen from the cart unnoticed by me. I still had a few off my prescription ones left but they where packed away and I would have had to tear down the whole cart to get them. Instead I chose to suffer in pain for the next 8 1/2 hours. By the time I got to West Monroe I could barely walk on it.
During the walk I came to a town called Start. I noticed a big billboard..home of country music great Tim McGraw. Of course I got a pic for you. A woman had passed me and turned around and waited for me at a little store in town. As I approached she told me God touched her heart and she wanted to give me a donation to help wirh my trip. She told me of someone who had commited suicide at a young age a few years back. She also said the Hebert Community was in need of prayer, so I would like to ask everyone to pray for the community and ask God to touch the hearts of those in need and bring the community together. God bless you for the donation. Everyone, please say a prayer!
As I entered Monroe I also had an elderly person turn around and pull over because he wanted to give me a donation. Thank you sir, God bless you!
Well I finally arrived at Motel 6 at 5:30. I pretty much just hit the bed and slept because of my leg. It made the walk very tiring that's for sure. But it also came with those blessings, and I thank God!
God bless everyone.
I JUST FEEL THE URGE TO WALK!
Beautiful pics Mike, I sure hope you find a way to get those legs under control. Not sure how you do it, will pray for you and your legs to feel better. God Bless. Deb
