• Being in Four Places At Once

  
  

  
  Have you ever wanted to be in 2 places at once? How about 4?
  
  I got the idea when I watched the movie "A Walk To Remember." When the main character mentioned to her boyfriend that one of the things she wanted to do before she died was to be in 2 places at once, he set out to make this happen.
  
  He had the brilliant idea of taking her to a state border line and had her stand, straddling two states at once, thus she was able to be in 2 places at once.
  
  I'd heard about the Four Corners from a teacher and decided I wanted to go. The Four Corners is a point where four states meet, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. 
  
  From California, my best friend and I drove for roughly 12 hours until we reached our destination. I couldn't exactly mapquest it because this location has no address, but we headed out anyway, following the freeways leading there. Once we got near, there were plenty of signs leading us to the right spot.
  
  And when we got there, all that was there was a platform indicating the corners of each state. There were no restaurants, stores, hotels, or anything else for that matter-- just this platform and some porta potties. I guess it didn't seem too impressive for a 12 hour drive, but we did make it and we were able to say we were in 4 states at once. It was still a good trip none the less and we also caught the sunset of the Grand Canyon on our way back. Overall it was a great trip!
  
  

  
  

  
  

  Would you like to visit this spot? Have you driven for a long period of time to get somewhere?
