(also a shot or two from 07-28)

Our last day, departure day. On our way out we went to Hasty Campground and Sam's Throne, the latter of which we hadn't been to since 2015 when we somehow became a bit lost in the area. I wanted to go, though, as it was someone on the way out of town and it would guarantee good "view" shots with a very short hike. (We also stopped at the "Mt Judea" Cafe, formerly Eagle Rock now "Lighthouse," which we hadn't eaten at since 2012.) She also wanted to go to Petit Jean, the spot we almost went to on the way in, we only checked out the parking lot before leaving but did check out a couple of quick "pull-over" spots nearby. Even so, I was tiring and ready to head on further, so much so that we can across Lake Sylvia (from day 1) right on our path and we STILL did not pull over to go there (I was driving by now). I was of a mind to get to a hotel in Arkadelphia or Prescott, and NOW.

Along the way, I DID pull over for an "on the fly" barn shot, and it just so happened that the belongings on the roof started coming a bit loose, the mattress was blocking the windshield. It took about 20-25 minutes to fix it up and head on. We ate at the Hardee's in Benson ARK (after first checking out other possibilities and passing on them), we then stopped & stayed in the same hotel we stayed in on the way IN last year, and this sweet adorable little girl age 4 was interacting with me in such a sweet way. We turned it, awoke & headed to the Hardee's in Prescott ARK the next day, without stopping anywhere else.
