This is a water tower that reads "FLORENCE Y'ALL". More like "FUCK FLORENCE Y'ALL". Also, fuck the thousand plus people that drove past us on the on ramp to 71/75 South. We got frowns, waves, smiles, peace signs, middle fingers, and even a few "FAGGOTS!". It took 6 hours to get a ride from Florence to the 71/75 split. We then walked 5 miles over a landfill, through a cow field and along the highway until we reached the Verona exit. Joe did us a huge favor and picked us up to Louisville.

Now we're at Joe's house! We just bought some bus tickets to California. No more hours of cold people on cold roadsides. At least my Mother won't have to worry now. Right Mom? Also, there will be no south west deserts except on the bus from Dallas to Los Angeles.

When we started this trip we gave ourselves the option of just taking a bus if hitching wasn't fruitfull. We set a 2 day deadline to get to Louisville. Today was the third day. Now we'll be staying at Joe's tonight and at Ace's family farm for the rest of the week.
