Eufaula Oklahoma to Hot Springs National Park Arkansas
Woke up in the early morning to the same crackling crunching sound that we had heard the night before. With the morning sun shinning through the windows, my eyes adjusted to see the straw of my milkshake cup moving in circles, rubbing the edge of its plastic lid! I pushed Mitch awake, “That’s it!” pointing at the source poking out of my hiking boot holder between the front seats. Mitch quickly clambered over, in one swoop he picked up the cup and flung it as I opened the sliding door. We both froze doe eyed looking out at the cup in the grass, and just as surprised a little mouse popped his head out the top of the lid, we starred each other down for about a minute, each as shocked as the other. Once we broke eye contact out of disbelief, the little milkshake lover scurried off into the woods and we thanked our lucky stars for a built in mouse trap. Still have no idea where he came in, just glad he is gone now. Took hot showers, ate breakfast and loaded up on our way to Arkansas! We decided to take the scenic byway to cross the border. This byway was the first road ever built with the specific purpose of being a scenic road. We pulled over at the first look out and gazed down into fog so thick you couldn’t see your own feet. So much for the beautiful views. Rolled through the gorgeous oak lined roads and lush green fields of Arkansas. Parked Robin in Hot Springs National Park, bundled up for a chilly night.
