fifty four

FIRST ENCOUNTER

The hot afternoons in Georgia were brutal. I was shooting for a public campground twenty five miles ahead but I needed water. I saw some people in front of this church so I stopped. They were waiting for the Pastor with the keys to open the building. 

I filled my water bottles then a man invited me to their service. I said I was headed for a campground for the night then he said, "camp here". Free was a great price I seldom refuse. 

At around 11:00 PM they left for the night. I spent a hot night on their front porch. These were wonderful people.
