Strolling Through 4 States in 10 Minutes!

The map shows the unique spot where 4 states come together.  The site is on a Navajo reservation and serves as a special location for display and sale of Indian crafts.

There was a time before the present renovation when we stood in the four states at one time.  The attraction is being improved as can be seen in these two photos.

 

American Indian jewelry and handicrafts are sold from the booths that ring the perimeter.  The vendors are helpful and proud of the creations that they are selling.

Joan enjoyed looking at the work in all of the booths

This vulture was secured to the back of a motorcycle in the parking lot.

Frybread is a delicious corn-flour thin bread that is ck selling frybread, this was fried in a pan.  While there is another shack, this one was interesting because of the trailer that's built against it.

This colorful van was in the parking lot and Bob took several photos of it.

It was reminiscent of the 60's and reminded Bob of the  '63 VW bus that he and Joan traveled i n.

The hand-painted work was done by three graduating students in anticipation of the road trip after school was over.

Henry and Connor (in the driver's seat) are from Illinois and planned this trip with their parents' blessings.

Bob encouraged them to see as much of this beautiful country as they could.  He gave them some tips on travel based on his 11 years of retirement travel through 49 of the 50 United States.
