I took the family for a drive down to Arkansas. It is a really nice drive with a lot of big hills. My Grandpa liked to take us for a drive down Spoon River Drive in Ill. when the leaves would be changing color. So I am carrying on the tradition.
We drove South on 65 through Branson, then drove a couple hours down Scenic 7 in Arkansas. We got to Haw Creek Falls campground at sunset. We pitched a couple tents and built a fire. Around midnight we took the lantern and explored the waterfall. It was a real good opportunity to look at the stars without the city lights drowning them out. We even saw a shooting star.
We started out the next morning with some hot chocolate and had a real nice drive home. The trees were okay Saturday, but Sunday they really came alive, it seemed like they changed overnight.
We drove 336 miles and used almost 13 gallons of gas. My average gas mileage was around 25.5, with temp staying around 180 degrees.
