It was time to say good-bye to Arizona and head to our new home of Colorado. We were able to spend a lot of time with Andrew and Heidi, a friend from Wheaton. We also found a tarantula on the side walk, a gas station that sold suckers with dead scorpions in them, camped at the Grand Canyon, saw the air force base that we will probably be at in two years, and watched the F-16s for a while.
On our way back to Denver we went through Four Corners, the point where Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. By standing right on the center, we could say that we were in
four places at one time! Peter did push-ups on the spot and an old man noticed and asked if he could take a picture of us. He had his airborne wings on and after talking to him, we learned that he had been in the Special Forces doing reconnaissance work. He and Peter talked for a bit about the Army and Fort Bragg, where he had also been stationed back in the day too.
Oh yeah, our other adventure happened while we were driving through the desert of NE Arizona. We followed a sketchy hand-made sign to a rickety booth set up down a side road to see dinosaur tracks. They were... something else alright. You can see for yourself from the picture. No one was around but us and this man at the booth and there wasn't even a car or sight of another building. And the only cash that we had on us to give him was $1 and some change that we found in the console of the car.
