Verna and I were touring the southwest states back in the days when we were both working and living in California.<\/p>\n<p>We took the top two photos at the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Four_Corners_Monument\">Four Corners Monument<\/a> where the state lines of  Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico intersect. I took the bottom photo the same day at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Monument_Valley\">Monument Valley<\/a>, which is about a hundred miles west of the corners along the Utah-Arizona border. Verna is posing in front of the famous &#8220;Mittens&#8221; escarpments made famous by their repeated appearance in Hollywood western movies, mostly by director John Ford featuring John Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>Later this month, we will begin an excursion that takes us to California for a couple of days, then on to Nevada, Utah and finally Arizona again. The Four Corners are not on the itinerary, but we plan on spending a night at Monument Valley.<\/p>\n<p>We always take pictures of our trips and plan on posting some of them here and on other social media. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These pictures must have been taken somewhere between 1998 and 2004.
