After disposing of the mouse, we set out driving towards Four Corners (only spot in the USA where four states meet in one place), just a short detour from our route to Albuquerque. We figured that we would never go there again so why not go when we were so close. Indeed, it is in the middle of NOWHERE. It was also a little disappointing. Cost to enter the Indian-run site was $3/person and consisted of a large concrete area with four raised corners, the seals of all four states, and a brass medallion in the middle showing THE SPOT. This area in turn was ringed with Indian stalls selling jewelry, sand paintings, leather items, etc.

We took a few pictures and then happily purchased and ate fry bread! We still had four and a half hours to drive in order to get Mike to the bus in Albuquerque. We got him here with a little time to spare.

After dropping Mike (who is bound for Denver, Boulder, and places in California before returning home), we drove a couple of more hours to Santa Fe. We would spend three nights in Santa Fe.
