From Roswell we continued on Hwy 70 to Picaho, Hondo, Ruidoso which took us through beautiful mountains. Really a pretty drive. We then started going down and went through Mescalero, Tularosa, Alamogordo. After Alamogordo we did a quick stop at White Sands National Monument. Betsy ran in and got her book stamped while I walked Tippy. Tippy is having a hard time adjusting to life in the west. He was totally freaked by the Cadillac Ranch. Then later in the day I was walking him at the Clovis Tourist Info Center and a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train with six engines roared by with horns blaring. He decided it was time to get back in the truck. Then after we had checked into our camp ground yesterday afternoon we all took a walk on the sand dunes and he got several sand burr's. We had to pick them out of his paw's. At White Sands he found another sand burr bush and we spent another 15 minutes getting them out again. Until we figure out where he can and can't go we will start carrying a little pair of scissors and some tweezers. We roared through Las Cruces and found I-10 and Deming where we decided to spend the night. We picked a Good Sam campground for the wifi and cable to watch the remainder of the World Series game that was suspended last night. Shortly after checking in I learned that the game tonight had been cancelled due to rotten weather. That's okay, because son-in-law Jim is a huge Phillies fan and we'll get to watch the rest of the games with him.

I read somewhere that the aliens pick the ones lined with foil to be the first onto their ship. Poor Betsy sure is going to miss those other 2?
