Where Caring is King: Marseilles (Day 88)

Marseilles, IL. After camping out that night on the I&M Trail near Seneca, IL I was dead hungry and was too cold to setup my stove to cook. So I walked the trail to Marseilles (mar-sales) and came across a Burger King. Not normally a place I visit however, I needed to feed my belly.

I entered and approached the counter, the ladies there were very excited and very curious about me walking for diabetes. It was great because even after my long walk that morning I needed that verbal jolt to wake me up and get me going (it was my first conversation of the day).

Deb (white shirt), Robin (black shirt), La Vonne (has glasses), and Mary Beth (no hat) were the ladies working that day and they took such great care of me and went above and beyond anything I ever expected with food, donations, and hospitality -- I felt like it was my hometown and I was King for a day!

These two awesome young gentlemen are Damon (top photo) and Jacob (bottom photo). It was great talking to them about everything from my walk, the town, New York, music, dogs, family, school, to them sharing some personal situations. These guys were great and I hope the adults in their lives keep them on the right path. It was a great pleasure meeting them!
