CREATED BY JUTOH - PLEASE REGISTER TO REMOVE THIS LINE Chapter 11 It had been a long, long walk that began several hours before sunrise and ended several hours after sunrise. Elizabeth had enjoyed all of it except for the part about getting up at three AM. For most of the hike they'd been able to use the two-lane blacktop road than ran eastwards from the newer part of Gordburg and finally connected with a state highway that was still some miles away when they turned off of the road and went north along a trail into the woods. She and Ron had begun the trek alone, but the further they went the more men joined them until by the time they turned off of the road there was a fair crowd of them: Almost, but not quite as many as there had been in the slave market yesterday, Elizabeth guessed.
