And The Bands Played On

Well, I have to say, there was a real fanfare about my birthday as we rolled into Tuba City to spend the night. That said, it was almost disappointing not to spend the night alongside a train line. Instead we stayed somewhere more like a proper hotel and went out for a decent meal. Rather than cardboard burger, I tried a Navajo Roast Beef wrap (as we're on an Indian reservation and this was the local food), which was really good. The best bit about it was that it came with chili cheese baked beans - I'm Popeye the sailor man - toot, toot! Maybe that's the reason the town is called Tuba City.
Yesterday was another big day of driving. We detoured a little to see the meteor crater, but decided not to pay the admission price (as Mr O mentions above). Instead I took this photo of a mountain in the opposite direction.
If you're interested in what the crater looks like, here's a picture I downloaded off the Internet.
We drove though the petrified forest which was somewhat confusing as there weren't any trees there and nothing looked scared at all, so we decided not to stop and to press on to four corners. Four corners totally lived up to all expectations being a monument to where the four states touch surrounded by gift shops. What more do you need?
