Pagosa--Finale

--Got loaded up and said goodbye to the mountains

--Stopped for a nice picnic lunch and hike at Echo Amphitheater outside Santa Fe

--Yelled special names and sounds into the cave to hear awesome echos!

--Spent the night in Santa Rosa again and enjoyed swimming in the hotel pool, watching the Olympics, and eating pizza

 --Drove through Amarillo to visit Uncle James the next day!
--Trip back went relatively smoothly. Pidge got a little tired of the ride and either whined in her crate or tried to scratch her way out :)

 --Came home with lots of special memories!
