Wednesday was a rain day.  The entire day was under a tornado "watch" for this general area.  All we saw was a lot of rain.  The rain only reminds me of the one slide that still leaks.  I will have it looked at again when I get to Tampa.  So yesterday was going to be a sightseeing day (in the rain) but we discovered that one of the radios grew legs and disappeared.  After searching high and low, inside and out we determined that it probably ended up in a trash bag and then into the dumpster.  With a radio missing we headed for Laurel to get another set at Walmart.  Same worthless Motorola radios, advertised as good up to 27 miles!  I sent them an e-mail to see what conditions would have to be met in order to make that 27 miles number.  In all reality they are good for MAYBE a mile, two if it is line-of-sight.  I assume they have no interest in supporting their claim to me as I have yet to hear from them.  Until they show me otherwise I shall say that the advertising is at best false.  'Nuff of that.

Today we got a wee bit of a delayed start but walked in sunshine, a gentle tail wind and tempuratures in the high 50's low 60's.  The excitement for the day was a driver taking a nap with the lights on!  OOPPSS!!! That WILL take a toll on an already over-worked battery.

A call to AAA and all was well.

Got home, dumped the tanks and fixed some dinner.

At approximately 3:00 PM we walked into Alabama, in spite of the dead battery.  When the day was over we had logged 21.1 miles (34.0323 km's), took 42,311 steps and picked up one thin dime.  I also found a door magnet from Auburn and a hitch pin.  I saw one small deer early in the day and lots of vultures circling over head.  When all was said and done it was a great walking day and as my mother would say, "nobody died" AND Valerie (the driver) DID get a great nap!   See ya'll down the road. Cheers!!!
