We made some good headway today. We grabbed a quick breakfast in the morning and caught the shuttle back to the airport. When we took off, we headed south and flew down through the Palo Duro Canyon. This is quite a beautiful canyon. Parts of it look like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, we didn't get many pictures since we ran out of batteries for the camera.
Start of the Palo Duro Canyon:
After flying through the canyon we turned northwest and headed to Hobart Regional Airport (HBR) in Oklahoma, and then on to Seminole, OK (SRE). This part of the trip was relatively boring. The terrain was mostly farmland, broken up by little interesting terrain. There were some rivers which cut some small canyons in the land, but for the most part we headed straight east, following the long straight roads. Our next flight was from SRE to Sallisaw, OK (JSV). This flight was more interesting. We crossed a beautiful lake and reservoir with impressive bridges over it and numerous small islands. From JSV, we continued on to Cantrell Airport (CWS) in Conway, Arkansas. Most of this flight was along the Arkansas River and past the Ozarks, so there was more beautiful scenery. We are spending the night in Conway, near the airport and are hoping to get an early start tomorrow, so if the weather holds we will make Tazewell, VA tomorrow night.
yay!! you're almost "home"!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
