Day 19: To Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (Perkinston)
Friday February 19, 2010, 50 miles (80 km) - Total so far: 737 miles (1,186 km)
We got hooked up once again! We're sitting outside in beautiful weather by the softball and baseball fields just relaxing and planning out the next few days. Meredith, who we stayed with in Hurley, has an uncle and cousin who coach the softball team. We even talked with the team for a little while about the trip. They are letting us shower, do laundry, and hookin us up with food from the cafeteria or breakfast. We are also staying in someone's dorm. They seem like a great group of girls, and right now they are 6-0. Good luck with the rest of the season girls!
The rest of the day was great, except for the frost that accumulated on our tents overnight. Andy and Deb provided us with a warm hosuse to consume coffee, biscuits, ham and cheese this morning to get us on the road. It was pretty cloudy but the sun was trying to come out all day. It is finally out now as I type this.
I also had a minor oversight. As I had my eyes on success, I totally missed the turn we were supposed to make. Me and mike ended up going about 5 miles past before we realized it. So we had to double back to catch the route again.
Quote of the day: (while talking to the softball team, we asked if they had any questions) one girl says, and I'm totally paraphrasing, "your from jersey right? Is the jersey shore really like the show?" Haha.
