Day 3: Grove Hill, AL

houston: it was a grind out there today, but wounded duck is docked in grove hill, alabama, over. the ol' coastal plain showed some teeth today with a few rollers and more than enough bogeys on the six. the us-84 section, as it turns out, is a major corridor for alabama logging ops, a point verified by harold and bob at the quick stop in whately over an ice cream b.s. session. still deciding on tomorrow's strategy, houston. stand by for updates, over.
today's count: 73.5 miles
time elapsed: 7:03
conversations with the locals: 5 (most notably with harold, bob, and tyrone whom i caught out mowing his lawn in front of his double-wide who seems pretty tuned up for a new job in the big city now that his mother-in-law passed. friendly fella. made sure the duck was pointed in the right direction over a glass of lemonade)
dogs who made a run for the nag: 2
waves/honks/thumbs up from the rollin thunder: 18+.
duck out.
