Great video! My 6 year old loved seeing the dinosaur tracks as he hopes to become a paleontologist when he grows up. That's another spot we'd like to visit when we head that way. I personally love the history surrounding WWII and especially the Navajo Code talkers, they were definitely an amazing contribution to the US military.
@@Pruett51212 Thank you and thanks for watching and subscribing. There is a lot to see between Flagstaff and the four corners monument. The dino tracks are not to be missed....but I stress...for the dino tracks. Not the other imaginative fossils said to be located there. More adventures coming soon. 😁 See you on down the road.
@@noeldominick2697 Thank you. I am happy you and the kids enjoyed it. The Dino tracks are worth the trip...there are hundreds of them and you can get up close and walk where they walked. The small Code Talker museum at Kayenta is definitely worth the stop. There is more than what I showed. Incredible stop. Thanks for watching the video.

Good to see you. love you content and the geology lesson. I look for rocks, and dinosaur's, going ghost towning and water color painting. Judy and I love exploring and seeing things. Carl
@@carlbailey7260 The adventures have been very fun to shoot. I am glad people are enjoying seeing the world out there and how I present it. There is just so much to see and learn about.
In the mid 70s I traveled to Teec Nos Pos to visit a old school friend who was an Arizona Highway Patrolman stationed there. We drove to the 4 Corners Monument and at that time there were no buildings there, just the small monument in what was like a traffic circle and nothing else. Before we left, we drove in the circle around the monument several times so we could say we drove in 4 states in a matter of less than a minute.
Very similar to the first time I visited the location. There was nothing there except for the disk in the ground marking the four corner spot. There was also no entry fee for viewing the site. They charge to enter now. By the way, Tec Nos Pos really hasn't changed much since the last time you were there in the 70's. The monument... Yes...Tec Nos Pos... Not so much.

@@carlbailey7260 Hey...Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the sights. I am trying to get out new videos weekly between shorts and longer content so stay tuned.
The four corners monument is off by a couple miles. It’s funny to see all the tourists going to where they think the four corners site is when in fact it is like 3 miles away
Most state boundaries are off a little bit due to the survey techniques employed at the time. No satellite technology to help, only the clicking of wagon wheels to measure distance and plane table alidades. At the four corners monument, the Supreme Court ruled in 1925 the initial state surveys markers were the actual borders, even if the markers were off in some locations. This makes the current location of the four corners monument the legal "site" of the four boundaries. The history of the state boundaries and the early surveying expeditions are a fascinating chapter of American history. Thank you for watching our video and for leaving the comment.

The Dino prints are so cool! Both boys thought so too :)
Beautiful highlight of the Navajo code talkers
