Four Corners

Here is how you do four States in one day. It's the only spot in the U.S. where four States have a common border. So you just go round that little mark and there you are, that easy. Yes, the boots are mine....
Actually, we did rode through the four States, starting the day in New Mexico, then Arizona through Apache Japarilla country, Colorado, then Utah into Monument Valley and back to Arizona to spend the night in Page. Another 600 miles the day, finishing well into the night. But I am the only one to blame: I had done some miscalculation in the mapping and the distance from Taos to Shiprock ended up being 150 miles off mark. Steve didn't took it in stride but we wanted to be in Page tonight to have enough time to spend in Death Valley on Friday and Yosemite on Saturday/Sunday. So a lot of riding, a very lucky rabbit that almost met is fate a few miles from Page under the wheel on my bike (a chipmumk was as lucky with Steve a New Mexico) but otherwise a rather uneventful day through beautiful scenery. We met 'Paul' in the little town of Bluff, Arizona on his BMW going to Glacier National Park to Mexico in twelve days. So we're not the only ones doing these senseless rides, see ?
