Four Corners is the only location in the United States where four states join together in a common boundary. This location is clearly marked and easily accessible by automobile. It is perhaps the most famous and commercialized piece of "strange geography" in the United States. Enterprising entrepreneurs charge a nominal admission fee and sell a variety of Native American crafts and other items.

Absolutely no logical reason exists for this barren patch of desert to be commemorated except for the two artificially designated lines happen to cross there.

... And yet I'm curiously drawn to it.
