July 4th – we headed for New Mexico for the last leg of this year’s incredible adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our first stop was a 5-mile detour to see four corners. I visited here in the 90s during my tour of the southwest but decided it was an easy detour and a good opportunity to pick up some merch. Like Monument Valley, the land is part of the Navajo Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea what the deal was then – but now it costs $8 bucks to get in – the same as Monument Valley. I guess the Navajo elders decided on $8 as the going rate! There was a tour bus full of Asian tourists – Chinese, I think. It seemed fitting somehow on this 4th of July! Everybody else was standing in line to get a selfie on the X! However, there was good merch to be had! God Bless America \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8!<\/p>\n\n\n

We stopped for the night in Farmington. The RV park was small and tucked away in an industrial area. Jake didn’t care much for the fireworks later that evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
