Four Corners and Mesa Verde National Park
We recently visited Four Corners. This site is in the middle of Indian Reservation lands. They require a per person fee of $5 before you can drive to the site. The “idea” and concept of this site is very interesting. When you look at a map of the USA, four states meet together. Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. We took the visit as an opportunity to say we had been there and to take some photos. There were some vendor booths surrounding the site offering jewelry and other souvenirs. How often can you say you sat in four states at the same time.
We headed to Farmington, New Mexico. “What’s there to see there?”, you might ask. My answer, “It’s not What is there, it’s “Who”!” Thoroughly enjoyed visiting with some friends we have not seen in years. I love that on this adventure we are able to reconnect with friends and family. Visiting “places” was only part of why we choose this adventure.
Mesa Verde National Park was not far from our friend’s house. An opportunity to visit and see Indian cave dwellings could not be passed up. We hopped in the car and drove North into Colorado. I became a giddy little girl when I saw snow on the mountains in the distance. You must understand. I was raised in Pennsylvania. Snow was a big part of winter. While Marc did his best to drive us to visit the snow a few times over the years, the excitement of seeing it doesn’t get old.
The drive once in the park was steep and winding as we made our way to the park’s museum. Rebecka completed another Jr. Ranger booklet, earning herself another badge. I think we will be buying her a vest to display all her hard work soon. Her eagerness to complete the lesson and activities in the booklet is encouraging my desire to continue visiting these National Parks.
I will post photos and videos. Please enjoy.
Thank you again for your continued support
