I'm almost done

6,960 miles and 12 states later, I am back in Springfield, MO, but just for today. I'm cleaning and cleaning and doing some things around town that I need to take care of, then off to New Orleans tomorrow with the parents; will add 4 more states, but since I won't be driving I don't think I can count the mileage. I will be back in Springfield on July 28, and that will officially end all of my summer travels. I'm uploading pictures to the Picasa web album I've set up, and that address/link can be found in the "Welcome" section. I'm trying to organize the pictures so they'll make sense. More writing to come in New Orleans - I've got lots of ideas, I just need the time.
