Thanks to Paul for arranging my stay with Owen, and thanks to Owen for being such a great host! After a really hot and humid day, I couldn't have asked for anything more: cold drinks, shower and laundry, great food cooked on the grill, and a really sweet little dog occasionally coming over to say hi.

They stopped to give me a half gallon of V8 Splash and a lucky dollar, and Morrie really wanted to give me his camera tripod as well, but I didn't have room for it.

Thanks for the air-conditioned dinner, ladies!

From here on out, I'll probably walk through some big areas without cell coverage. I may not be able to post to the blog for several days (or possibly more) at a time. So don't worry if you don't see anything new for a while; it doesn't mean anything bad has happened to me. The red line on my progress map, which is updated from my GPS beacon, should continue to get a little longer each day, whether or not I have cell service.
