Me and Scarecrow
I've been home now since May 18th. My original plan was to be home on the 23rd but a friend I met on the trail hurt his knee and asked to come to my house to rest and recuperate. So I asked Theresa to pick me up in Bland, VA and we headed to Damascus to pick up Scarecrow, a young man from Germany. Unfortunately, we couldn't find him so we spent the night in a Hampton Inn nearby and waited to hear from him and arrange a pickup point. Unfortunately again, he didn't make contact (he doesn't have a cell phone) so we headed home. About an hour after arriving home, he made contact...go figure. I told him I would pick him up the next day (Monday). So I headed to Damascus, VA and picked him up on the 20th.
It was actually fortuitous for me that I came home a few days early. I started using foot powder to fight my stinky feet. The foot powder caused friction where there was once none. The friction caused 4 new blisters on my toes. The blisters caused me to walk on my feet differently. My new gate caused my feet and ankles to swell. The moral of the story is, don't change things once you got a good thing going.
