I must have gotten the “safer route” advice wrong, for Rocio & I ended up on a dead end road. The family in the house at the end of the road spotted us and asked how they may be able to help us. A friendly conversation ensued, and lasted for probably a half hour. John (pictured), an Air Force retiree and current Athens bicycle cop, loved the Walk project, and had great advice for us regarding our trip into Athens. David, his son, supplied us with some refreshing vitamin drinks for the road. This was by no means a “wrong turn” –it made going a mile out of our way quite worth it!
