No photos from Saturday. We drove in steady but diminishing rain the first few hours, finding clear weather only when we got about half-way back to St Louis. Still, I’m not complaining. We had gorgeous weather the entire week, absolutely peak foliage colors, and both of us got to see a part of the country we had never seen before. People were friendly, food was good, and we had no real deadlines; a great way to live!
