FOUR CORNERS...GOTTA' DO IT, IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA

From Santa Fe it was an 8 hour drive and some minutes.  We started out going 40 miles south of Santa Fe, almost back to Albequerque, to catch a road that went North.  I hate when that happens, cause now you're traveling 80 miles to get to almost where you started.  Know what I mean?

We took the ride in small steps, stopping every few hours for a snack, drink, fuel, or WAIT!!  WAS THAT A DAIRY QUEEN???  Yes, a Dairy Queen, our first of the year, in Bloomsburg, New Mexico.

After 6 hours and some minutes, we arrived at Four Corners, parked the car, got in a line of about 12 people before us and took our turn standing on the disc that says UTAH- ARIZONA- NEW MEXICO - COLORADO.  The only point in the US where four states come together in a perfect 90 degree angle.

This is the actual disk that you stand on...you're actually in four different states at the same time.

The disk is in the middle of the large circle and each quarter surrounding it is carved with the name of the state it represents.

Now on to our 2.5 hour trip to Monument Valley.
