What I Remember About Four Corners

When I was around 7 or so, my parents took my sister and I on an extended car trip around the southwestern United States. One of the places we stopped was Four Corners. I’m led to believe that this is a highly beautiful place, the only spot where four U.S. states meet. However, given that I was seven at the time and haven’t been back since, my memories of Four Corners are a little hazy.

In fact, here is all I remember:

- It was hot. Flat too.

- Families of four seem to get a kick out of putting one family member in each state and having them link hands, perhaps experimenting with the experience of getting away from each other without actually having child protective services get involved.

- Someone sold snow cones there.

- The snow cones being sold at Four Corners were cherry…or at least red. I think that was the only option.

- There was a lot of sand. Or maybe it was rocks, or dirt. Something like that.

That’s all I remember. Quite an impressive experience, eh? I bet you can tell I’m a writer.
