So I started looking at my vacation photos from last October and <em>so much awesome scenery</em> in the Southwestern US get solace in the crazy times since. One of my favorite parts was my brief visit to the Navajo Nation.</p> <p>I drove up from Farmington, NM, a convenient and inexpensive place to stop and spend the night after visiting Mesa Verde National Park. The Four Corners Monument is a small side-trip from the drive to Navajo Nations Park and an opportunity to claim the four virtual caches marking this small, geographical oddity. <img alt="Four Corners Monument." loading="lazy" src="https://wt8p.com/images/IMG_1792.jpeg"> <em>Minor travel achievement: unlocked!</em></p>
