We said a sad “goodbye” to our buddies Linda, Thurman and their adorable little dog Gidget as we head to Carlsbad Caverns (a 2 day drive). We had such a fun time with them, they will be missed! We got a late start since I accidentally left my credit card at the brewery/restaurant the night before. They didn’t open until 2 pm, we were hoping to leave town by 9 am. Through perseverance, we finally got a hold of someone at the restaurant, retrieved the card (what a hassle it would have been trying to order a new one while on the road) and headed out of town late – but credit card in hand!
