April 16, 2015. Four Corners, USA

CAMPGROUND: Ancient Cedars RV Resort. Electricity and water, although we didn't hook-up water, afraid that the hose would freeze overnight. Beautiful showers, laundry, dish sink. $35/night. Nice recreation room with big screen TV and library.  Wifi, and great TV reception. Pool, but not open yet.  5 stars

LOCATION:  Mesa Verde, Colorado.  In SW Colorado

WEATHER:  Cold!  Highs only in 40s

We left SE Utah in the AM, driving a scenic byway.  We saw Mexican Hat, a rock formation that looks like a guy with a sombrero. This was recommended in our book "1000 Places To Go Before You Die". 

We drove through Monument Valley, dipping down into northern Arizona, through miles and miles of  gigantic formations that look like castles, cathedrals, and statues.  It was all Navajo Indian reservation area.

George wasn't too excited, but I insisted we stop at WORLD FAMOUS Four Corners.  It is the only place in the USA where 4 states form an exact corner...Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

It is Navajo land, so they charge an entrance fee.  A real tourist trap.  At the pay gate, a weird sign proclaimed that no human body remains are allowed on Navajo land.  Um.....

I did the requisite pose, with limbs in each of the 4 states.....

We stopped at a brewpub for lunch.  We tried the Navajo Taco which is popular here.  It is Indian fry bread with taco toppings.  We split a half order, which was more than enough!

We stopped at an RV park in front of Mesa Verde National Park where we will visit tomorrow.  We met a neat couple from Switzerland who are traveling around western USA, and invited them for a drink, and to keep warm, as they have a rental van without heat.

DINNER:  Leftover Italian soup.
