Day 12: Walking Fool or Expert Malefactor

The Fool woke up from his tent in a small patch of trees in a fairly wooded rural area of Maryland. As he was airing out his tent and groundsheet, a big fella in a pickup truck pulled along side the road and asked what he was doing. The Fool said something or another about hiking and camping and America and then asked the man what exactly was he implying. The man in the P/U truck revealed that there had been a few robberies in the area and he just wanted to make sure he wasn't the vexing thief they've been looking for. Once the WF convinced the local in the truck that he was a mere backpacker and not a mastermind criminal who camps two miles from the latest house he robbed from, the man waved and drove off.

Later, the WF reached Bel Air, MD and looked around for the Fresh Prince. Once he was informed he was looking in the wrong state and that he was looking for a fictional character, the Walking Fool checked out of town. He continued walking into the early evening, light rain starting to trickle down. He camped in Gunpowder Falls State Park a ways from the road.
