Home From Macon
422 miles
Day 5
Tuesday
Today is significantly warmer than yesterday. I start out in the 50s, but end up in the low 70s as I wander around the back roads of southern Virginia.
I don't know what the connection to Texas here is, but the sign got my attention and I pulled into fuel up -- premium at $3.29 per gallon in Walkertown, North Carolina.

The morning looked much like this...

It's a nice rural area with a small road winding its way to VA40 near Rocky Mount and Gretna.

This is the third year that Sylvia and I have participated.
It works like this:
There are 15 checkpoints listed. If you document visiting a minimum of 12 of those checkpoints, then you will receive a finisher's pin. The checkpoints are usually located in the small back road communities. These are places that I may never have found if it weren't for the VA GT directing me there.
So today once I cross the state line back into Virginia, I will be wandering around the back roads locating some of the checkpoints.
