After breakfast at McDonald's in Ellenboro, the Fool got back on the North Bend rail trail. About a half mile down the trail he met a local survivalist on a bicycle. The man proudly told the Fool how he had learned how to "live off the ground" from his dad. The Fool figured he meant "live off the land" but didn't want to correct him for fear of being chopped up and used for meat stock.
The rain came down. Rain, rain, rain. The Fool walked through the downpour to the town of Cairo, about 10 miles away. The lady at the store warned the Fool that there were no more places to get food or supplies along the trail until Parkersburg, some 30 miles distant.
As night fell, the rain stopped and the Fool passed through his last tunnel on this trail. He tried to keep his mind off of ghosts or spooks as he walked through the dark.
