Canyon, Texas to Fort Smith, Arkansas

 We packed up the night before so we could get an early start up the canyon and out of the park and through the town of Canyon. We took the interstate again passing all flat plains with the beginning of some planted fields and a greener landscape. We found The Grill Diner open for breakfast in a small town off the interstate that had been there since 1950's.  We had a long drive past Oklahoma City headed to Springhill Park at Thimble Lock and Dam near Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Not the expected sunrise as it rose out of the misty morning
