Stop 19: Salem, Missouri

The home stretch! From southern Missouri, this will be a nice casual denouement for my journeys. After this, I'll head back to Denver, where things with my family, and with the economy, are likely to be very different. I'll be pushing 60 years old. I'll spend some down time catching up with family and friends, and deciding what the best move is from there. If I'm still enjoying the travels, I'll consider continuing on to San Francisco, Oregon, and especially Alaska!
