Oct. 30 , 2001 Tues.-I guess I have been thinking to much lately , I started to call Laura yesterday and say good-bye. She has probably found what she's looking for. So I won't bother her over this . I sure miss her though. We are just sitting here reading the paper at 10:00am. I got to get moving here.
I have to make my way , somehow, over to hwy. 31 and cross the river that way. I don't want to walk thru Ft. Myers if I can avoid it. Never know when one of the local cops will won't to ask me where I am heading. This bench warrent is going to eat at me until I cross the state line. Once I do cross , there will be no turning back. There is a job waiting for me in Spartanburg S.C.
11:40am and I have made it to Alico Rd. and no way to get to 31 from this way. Oh hell, back to 41 I suppose. I'll just walk right thru town , like I know what I'm doing. My feet are killing me and Skil's is pulling like he's on a mission. I believe he is trying to kill me, out of revenge for taking him away from Mommy. I am dumping the sleeping bag, its just to much to carry. Shouldn't be to hard to come up with another one along the way.
We are taking a break about a mile from where I plan to stay tonight and the poor little guy is beat. From one extreme to another. He is having the hardest time keeping up now. I am in the swamp where I got bit last month and my sleeping bag is still here. Maybe , my luck is changing. I haven't had any thing to eat today, but I did feed Skil's. Thinking about cutting down on his intake some , he's overweight and that might be the cause of his sluggishness.Well, tomorrow will be the big day.If I get across that damn river, that's it for Naples. So, I am walking right down 41 and holding my head up like I'm somebody important. What destiny waits on the other side?
