….saved the day!
What started as tough day, took a decidedly bad turn at the 10 mile mark.
The 1st of the only two food options of the day was “closed for renovations”. When i decided on this route i knew there would be limited resources, but now i had only one more shot for food and beverages on my 20 mile trek….and it was already in the mid-90s.
Two miles later a came upon option two, which was also closed?
As i was beginning to ponder how i might finish the last 8 miles with 5 ounces of warm water and no food, i heard voices coming from inside the closed restaurant. I tried another door and found half a dozen folks working inside the building. As i began to explain my situation they all began to try to help. In the end, they had no food, but did have water and ice, so i thanked them for their help and headed out with a fullbag of ice water (60 ounces) and a fighting chance to make it to Bowling Green.
Two miles later a car pulled up with a man named Xaivier and his angelic driver….whose name i did not get.
Xaivier hopped out and announced that he couldn’t stop thinking about my trip and wanted to walk with me for a few miles. “ANGEL”, then announced that she was going to get me some food.
Three miles later a burger and fries arrived at my roadside!
I did enjoy the burger and fries as i made my way across the final 5 miles to Bowling Green.
Thanks for all the help today….what wad shaping up to be a truly miserable day is now one of the best!
