Regret

Friday April 18

Today was a travel/errand day. We left the campground late (as usual) and I drove to Cortez, Colorado where we found a grocery store and stocked up on more food. Very important to have beer and snacks and frozen pizza. Our next travel stop was to Mesa Verde National Park but by the time we finished shopping, and read about the park in the tour book, we felt it was too late to go into the park.

So here's the dilemma - to go straight to the RV park we picked out and just hang out? Or go to the 4 corners monument? It's basically a piece of metal stuck in the road that marks the spot where the 4 states meet. Oh, and it has native craft shops around it and you have to pay $3 per person to get in. Doesn't that sound like fun?

No, of course it doesn't. But if you're this close, and you'll probably never go there again, do you just do it so you can say you did it? Will you regret that you didn't do it later? While we were in Ecuador, we went to the spot where we could put one foot on either side of the equator ... course we were on a tour bus and were forced to go there. But it sure made a great story later. So, off we went and had our picture taken in the 4 corners monument so that we could tell stories later.
