Dickson Part 3

(I forgot to mention that I also bought instant grits at Kroger. Grits is good, cheap eats, as long as there's enough water to fix 'em, clean the pot, and stay hydrated.) --> Upon returning to the Pilot station, I cooked some rice and decided I'd had enough of the truck stop. So at about 8:00, I walked away from I-40 and into Dickson, figuring I'd start walking toward Memphis on US 70. --> On the western edge of Dickson, when I found a nice place to camp at 11:00, I decided to try something new with my tent. Instead of pitching the whole tent, I only set up the footprint, poles, and rainfly, leaving the canopy in the stuff sack. This creates more of a shelter than a room--it won't keep the critters out--but it creates a lot more space than the canopy allows. I liked it; however, my campsite was in very tall grass, which is probably one of the worst places to set up a "fast fly"
configuration. --> Five miles out of Dickson, a strange young guy named Brandon gave me a ride to McEwen.
