I don't know why that story really stuck with me - except that I'm such a dog lover :-))) Now here's another humdinger of a story with a happy ending that could have gone so wrong. Really glad you both made it back safely.

But turning on the GPS and driving a little certainly shows one where you are. It's also why one should always travel with a full tank of gas, just in case you make a wrong turn or two. It's just exploring until the gas tank gets low and that's when the GPS is very helpful.<br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394448654943170481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-41568834903693801022017-02-21T00:14:38.779-06:002017-02-21T00:14:38.779-06:00Sounds like you and Yuma had quite the "adven...Sounds like you and Yuma had quite the "adventure" today.
