Headed Home

After a pleasant walk along the roads and among the buildings of New Salem, it was time to head for home. A wonderful, vital statue of Lincoln at the age he found himself at New Salem is right at the entrance/exit to the park, and a left turn with a short drive gives you a view of the mill building that is nestled right alongside the road.

Clouds mounted and rain chased us off, happy to have balanced our weeks in Europe with a little look at the heartland of Illinois, the "Land of Lincoln."

Next post will be a look back at our Europe trip in a way we have posted after previous trips.
