Day 5: Hope, AR to Fort Worth, TX – 338.0 miles*
We drove in from Arkansas, spent less than 17 miles driving on Oklahoma’s roads and then back out into Texas. We are “fair weather cachers”, so today’s rain would have normally kept us from even venturing out. But we are a 1,000 miles from home on our way through this part of the country and don’t know when we will be back, so we had to make at least one find here in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma. We did and this added another 2 states to our growing list of state’s where we have found only one cache. Our one trick wonders now stand at 9 of the 29 US states we have cached in.
Highlight of the day was our visit to Paris, TX. From the totally ridiculous replica Eiffel Tower with a giant red cowboy hat on top to the sublime lunch at Burgerland.
