Day 8: Monday July 28

Vandalia to Oconee: 24 miles:   Departed Vandalia at 6:10 A.M. Walked into Ramsey and had lunch with Kevin at the Ramsey Cafe. Kevin headed for home and I continued on up the road. I arrived in Oconee at 4:00 P.M. Relaxed and hydrated, while awaiting my host, Ken Tedrick, the mayor, who was not yet home from work. Ken arrived and we went to dinner. Met Mrs. Tedrick. Cleaned up and worked on my blisters and shin splints. Carrying the back pack really tore me up.

  1. Glad your safe at your next destination. Sorry about your blisters and shins. If you need something on your shins try rubbing tiger balm on it. It burns but numbs whatever you put it on. I got it at Walmart but other pharmacies may have it. Rest up and take care of your feet.
