How Far to Mexico from Gaither Mountain, Arkansas?

Thousands of butterflies gathered on goldenrod on Gaither Mountain in Arkansas (36N, -93W) on Monday. How far to Mexico is it from Harrison, Arkansas, where these monarchs were resting and refueling? These monarchs were among the millions that were traveling during the past week across Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The photo was taken by Sally Jo Gibson.
