Thank you for your kind comments Ariel. Yes it's a very interesting place - the only place where you can literally stand in four different states.

Many who have seen 4-corners and get the opportunity might want to check out the other weirdness on the US map. It's "Kentucky Bend," where the errant path of the Mississippi River and lack of aerial photography in the early 19th Century combined to make MO, TN, KY intersect in THREE DISTINCT 3-corners locations. Don't look for a monument, however: These 3 points are all in the middle of the Mississippi River; and while it's not desolate like the Bisti Wilderness, etc., if you've traveled into the isolated "Kentucky Bend" peninsula in KY that's only accessible by land through TN, you've noted that the few farmers in the area might or might not look around & say softly, "more tourists."
