Day 46 : 4 Corners and Back to Route 66

So today we traveled from Cortez CO (Mesa Verde) to Williams AZ where we will be taking a train to the Grand Canyon tomorrow.  On the way to Williams we stopped at 4 corners, which is the only place in the US that you can be in 4 states at one time (AZ, CO, NM and UT).  It is pretty cool place out in the middle of no where on Navajo Land.  We actually did a good bit of shopping while we were there as there were a lot of Indian craft tables setup around the 4 Corners monument.  As we left we drove the RV around the circle to cover 4 states in under a minute.  Then we headed on to Williams AZ where we will be staying the next 3 nights.  The drive to Williams was quite scenic with several Monolithic stone mountains on the way as well as a lot of Wild Horses roaming the AZ land. Main street in the small town of Williams is actually part of the historic Route 66.  We arrived in Williams around 3:30 pm (and yippee we are back on PST).  We took a walk downtown did some souvenir shopping and had dinner at the local pizza shop.  It was delicious since we had not had pizza since we left over 6 weeks ago.  Also in yesterday blog I mentioned what a nice day it was with no rain, well last night we got one rather large Thunder and Lighting storm.  I truly think the Thunder was so loud it shook the RV several times.
