Day 25 – Thursday – Tuba City, Arizona

We just travelled 4 states in 1 day!!!!

We set off in the morning from Santa, New Mexico to head towards the "Four Corners Monument". This is the only spot in the US that four states meet (in a cross) - Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.

The scenery on the way was amazing, it seemed to change every half hour, dramatically!

When we got there had fun making all our crappy (yet amusing to us) jokes about running around 4 states, kicking each other from state to state, having a leg in each state, being in a right state, etc etc! Oh yeh, and we played state twister (Right arm, Colorado. Left leg, Utah).

After that we made our way through a section of Utah and Monument Valley which was even more amazing.

We stayed in Tuba City for the night and tomorrow we hit some hole in the ground...something a rather Canyon? Oh right...hehehe, the GRAND Canyon!

Anyway, we had no internet in our rooms last night, so im sitting at breakfast right now typing this up so I will leave it

Funnily a guy with a GPS unit was reading that the site was actually about 30 metres away!!!
at that. Sorry for the uninspired blog!

(Oh and while I remember, internet may be sparse the next week or so - we head from here up to Bryce & Zion national parks and then Vegas for 5 nights).
