We started out heading north for about 3.5 hours to Oklahoma. Most of the area reminded me of driving up 101 North once it becomes a two-lane freeway. At some point we stopped at a Walmart for a potty break. Sighting: An entire family dressed in hunting gear (camo and orange). Coincidentally, Walmart is known to be a huge gun retailer.
The scenic drive was amazing and we stopped for many photo ops. Towards the end of the Talimena trail we hit some pretty dense fog, worse than the likes of San Francisco fog. Visibility got to be less than 25 feet, which made for a very slow drive.
Arkansas was my first time seeing real rural America. There were lots of chicken farms (Tyson's) and now I know where most chickens come from. We started to spy some pretty amazing lightening storms to the East.
Texas welcomed us back with an impressive and incredibly scary hail storm. Visibility turned to zero and we had to pull to the side of the freeway until it passed. The hail was huge, but our car thankfully survived without any dents.

| My favorite was the fiery red leaves |

| Another favorite were the limbs turning green to orange and yellow |
