There are several aspects to being a dedicated traveler that I have discovered, one of which is the need to travel. There are times when I crave travel, the thrill of planning where to go, what to see and who I will share the experience with. What I didn’t expect is the insatiable desire to always have a trip on the horizon.
In the recent past I haven’t been planning anything with the expectation of heading out to travel on a more permanent basis but as it turns out life has its own way of working out and I won’t be leaving ‘home’ until July or after. As such I’ve also been given the opportunity to take a few small weekend vacations as well as two other longer trips.
One of which is on my birthday list of things I’d like to accomplish before my next birthday in September, to visit the Four Corners. The only place in the United States where four states intersect at one place, although many are quick to point out that the actual location of the intersection is about a mile from the monument.
Three of my good friends and I have decided to take a road trip to the Four Corners Monument to attempt the feat of standing in four places at one time. The sleeping arrangements have been made, a route has been chosen and our bags are packed. Traveling in a group can become stressful however, I have some pretty amazing friends and I am confident that no matter what we encounter there will be laughter and clever retort!
After a 2 ½ hour drive from Salt Lake City to a rural town in Utah’s desert country we arrived at my parent’s house for the night, complete with games, food and humor.
Compromising sleep for fun and an early start for a delicious breakfast we were soon to be on our way even further into the middle of nowhere.
