Day FIVE South | Dallas or BUST but not before a stop in Salana

Early morning fog lifting off the lake on our last day in Chickasaw

We wrapped up our camping time in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area and loaded up the vans once again!  After a quick stop 30 seconds into the drive to check out the glorious BLACK JACK OAK, we got back in and headed towards Solana, Texas.  As the two and a half hour drive came to a stop in the hidden Solana parking lots, we got out and received our charge for the day…  the verdict was a two page colored pencil spread to emphasize the unique building landscape in the area.

As we all scattered in different directions, the large “PIZZA” sign got in the way so we decided to grab a bite to eat!  From there we all dispersed to find an inspiring spot to unleash color onto our sketch pads!  We reconvened and had a quick lay down before heading to the West Campus.  We got to our new area and had a quick history lesson given by the one and only, Michael Martin.

Then we all got our last charge of the day from the wise, Gary Hightshoe, which was to do a watercolor capturing the scenery around.  Proceeding the quick lay down, we had a short bathroom break and hit the road just in time for the Friday rush hour of traffic!  Finally we arrived at the hotel in Dallas, TX, where we unloaded and set free in the city!
