Today was a short day, only 43 miles, but not very scenic. At about mile ten, we passed through Henning, TN, the boyhood home of Alex Haley, the author of Roots. It’s a cute home and, oddly, his grave is in the front yard.

To spice things up a bit today, Penny, Pat and I took an alternate route which I scoped out on the internet. I think my compatriots were a little angry at me when the path I found started out with a 13% hill on cobblestones. Then I led them through the local community college. Then we had to walk over a small patch of grass after the road ended. It certainly was different and much more scenic than the original route but the jury is still out on whether it was better. At least Pat and Penny are still talking to me.
