26.1 miles (42.0968 km's)…52,913 steps…$2.64 in coins AND paper money salvaged…findings for the day: 2 United States one dollar bills, 2 quarters, 1 dime and 4 pennies…wildlife sighted: several iguanas of varying sizes from body of about 24" to little guys
Today we started just north of mile marker 74 and finished at mile marker 49. The walk today was dedicated to a WWII veteran, Tom Baker, who was a paratrooper on D-Day and Greg, an Army veteran from Desert Storm. Thank you, gentlemen, for your service and best wishes to you. It appears that after today there will be just two walking days left (not including the final few miles on April 14). Best wishes to Marine, Kenny Montgomery from Akron, Ohio who had the misfortune of having his motor home break down mid-span of one of the bridges. I attempted to get to the base of the seven mile (6.9) bridge but fell short by about 2 1/2 miles. I wanted to hit that bridge first thing in the day before all the water, juice and other liquids made their way through my system. Mid span turning into mid stream, not so good! Tomorrow will be a day off and then Tuesday a moving day down to Big Pine Key to the Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge. See ya'll in Key West on the 14th for the finale! Cheers!!!
