Wow, what an incredible ending to an awesome day. We started off with a run in with the Clewiston Police (not to worry everything was just fine). Officer Bobby of Clewiston's Finest said we should watch out for small town cops, they would put you in jail first and ask questions later (if they asked any questions at all). We stopped at the Clewiston Soap 'N Suds to wash are very dirty clothes. I met a wonderful lady, Miss Daisy, who offered to give me washing detergent, which I gladly accepted. With clean clothes it was off to Moore Haven along the Lake Okeechobee Dike. Again it was a great day to hike on the Dike, the views were amazing and the weather was just perfect. We were introduced to Uncle Joe of Uncle Joe's Fish Camp. Uncle Joe told us of life on the lake as a guide (the bass were not bitting today) The small store (more of a bait and tackle shop) provided a great stop for quick lunch and much needed water. After a longer than expected stop at the fish camp, it was then on to County Road 720 to Moore Haven. A couple of cross country bicylcist shared some travel stories with us as we enjoyes a sack together. As we made it back on the road a blessing in the form of a UPS driver appeared. The driver stopped his truck on handed over oranges for our travels, very cool. Once we arrived in Moore Haven we headed to the Moore Haven Church of God pastered by Philip Williams. We had heard the Pastor Williams helps travelers so we decided to see just how much help we could get. I really needed a shower. We waited for Pastor Williams at the church for about 30 minutes. The moment he saw us he told us to drop our things in an apartment in back of the church. And yes the apartment had a shower and two beds. It was an amazing blessing from the Lord. I prayed for a shower and got a shower and a warm dry place to sleep. I'm going to start praying for more specific stuff from now on. Pastor Philip asked us to stick around for church so tomorrow we are just going to hang around Moore Haven then go to church on Sunday and then hit the road. What a great day.
