When I was a kid, you could go to four-corners for free. The US Department of Interior probably put the marker in. Since then, it came under control of the Navajo who charged $8 per person (credit card only) to enter the area. We're trying really hard not to call the high cost "scalping".
What a great picture! Get to see photographer's shadow. Almost impossible to stand back and zoom. I went during the lockdown, almost no visitors or line, no food, just some crummy trinkets for sale. Won a little at a nearby casino, so maybe I collected the scalps that day.
I knew some poon-tang back in the day that spread it over at least ten states...

ReplyDeleteNavaho are good Indians, only scalp wallets.
DeleteAnd the OVERPRICED food sold there is inedible. Not worth the hassle to visit.
DeleteAnd it's a fraud. An accurate survey shows the actual four corners is about a mile away, on private land that wants no part of the tourism.
ReplyDeleteNope.
DeleteI stopped there years ago before those buildings were there. Rather anti-climatic and not worth paying a nickel for.
ReplyDeleteShirley, if was real there would be fugitives playing hop-scotch. Or have laws changed since the Rules of Hazzard? Just a Scot from across the Pond.
