Driving from Grand Canyon to Four Corners there is not much to see, a few small towns and lots of desert. We spent the night in a roadside motel that was very short on ammenities infact it was missing a switch plate in the bathroom where the ground plug was for the hair dryer! Pretty exciting. We also had to sneak the dog in because there were not many hotels along the way and we were pretty tired and needed to rest – makes us appreciate that we usually have our RV with our own bed, soft towels and plenty of room for the dog!
While Paul was gassing up the car along highway 160 in Arizona we noticed that we could buy breakfast from one of the locals selling breakfast burritos from the trunk of his impala – I passed.
You see some interesting things out here in America. In the middle of nowhere, between Grand Canyon and Four Corners we see a pickup truck parked in a field with two guys sitting on the tailgate behind a card table full of small items and a sign “YARD SALE”. There was no yard, just the table and a truck, no house anywhere in sight, nothing!
We arrived at the Four Corners monument,paid our $3 each (the dog was free!) and drove up to the site. This monument is on Native American land and is very remote.
We are all in different states
There were a few other people here also wanting to experience being in four states at the same time. There were little kids putting one limb in each state – I bet those will be memorable photos to share someday. A dad and son were playing football across the states while the mom was trying her best to operate the video camera. What we do for memories. There isn’t much here except for the monument and some local crafters and their goods. We did have Fry Bread which is very much like a funnel cake. It was very windy so we took our photo and returned to the highway.
