Well, folks, it's almost complete.  After listening to/watching our final slideshow of Micah and Chassie in Escalon, CA, you will have met all of the participants in the You Are Here Project, from coast to coast.

This welcoming, well-travelled family is a fitting finale to the project.  Chassie (Scott of Moab's cousin) and Micah talk about the nomadic nature of life in the Navy, how they are able to get along with just about anyone, and how they are now settling into the small town of Escalon for a longer term stay.

A new slideshow is up on The You Are Here Project's website!   This one's short, just around 3 minutes. We're getting close to the end of our journey!

This week click on the photo of a rock at Arches National Park in Utah on our site (see below for cheat sheet) to meet hear and see our next installment. Utah! That's right, this time the "person" you'll be meeting is a state.  But we think of it like a person.

These two sisters ended up living together again after spending most of their adult lives apart.  Susan and Ruth's home is nestled in the mountain town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where they run a spa together.

Last but not least: this one is a short, two-minute, slideshow with Tom, a furniture maker in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.  Tom has made this resort town his home as he recovers from some hard times in his life.

A new five minute slideshow is up on The You Are Here Project's website!   

This week click on Patrick's photo on our site (see below for cheat sheet) to meet him and his two daughters who live in a suburb southwest of St. Louis.  Brett and Sue hadn't been able to find us anyone west of St. Louis,  so we decided to make a short hop to the other side of town to meet their friend Patrick, hoping that he could send us farther westward from there.  

Patrick is a teacher at the same high school he attended as a kid, and has always lived within five miles from where he grew up.
