June 1st
This is an early morning start, driving at 7 am, for this trip to Oklahoma. I will be visiting Fort Coffee for the day. Before I leave the house I will pack my pre-prepared foods for the trip. These include snacks, nuts, fruits, hummus and carrots, lunch items, premade salads with dressings, sweet potatoes, dinner items, soups, chiles, and pasta. For breakfast, I have prepared portions for overnight oats which include - freeze-dried fruits, chia seeds, and oats. My car currently has a full tank of gas and is ready to go! This trip is only 507 miles and a single tank of gas is suffice leaving enough gas to travel 88 more miles. The initial price for gas is $27.37. After the 7.5 hour trip the time is 2:30, this leaves me 3 hours to walk around the Fort. It is now 5:30 and its time to make my way to the motel, im staying at the motel six that is only about 20 minutes down the road from the fort.
Fort Smith
Fort Smith is located in Sebastion County between the Arkansas and Poteau rivers. This fort was a military outpost used for patrolling a near Indian territory in 1817. A man named General Thomas Smith had the fort named after him. After seven years of use, the fort was abandoned. During this time a town founded by John Rogers was built around the fort.
