Same here! DH and I were very excited to visit the 4 corners monument!! We pulled in and there were only 2 other people there and all shops were closed and this was just in sept but in mid week. They must just open their shops on weekends. Anyway we could not help but just laugh!!!We are happy we got to see it but will not ever return. But must say that part of the country was an eye opener. The Indian Reservation we drove thru was very sad. I feel sorry for those people. They are stuck so far out and the ground is horrible so gardens would be out of the question. How on earth do these people make a living! Just Saying! Tara

I feel sorry for you. You are looking at the Navajo through your own eyes making judgments about something obviously beyond your understanding. Native Americans have been here on the landscape thousands of years before the Pharos crawled out of the sands in Egypt.

There are no "gardens" like you have in Indiana. This is the desert.
It is not about making a living. It is about their culture not yours. You have to look beyond your own judgmental ethnocentric views. Get out of your car and meet the people. They can teach you many things as they taught me.

Yes, by our standards they are living in abject poverty in a God forsaken place. But that is by our God, not the Great Spirit that they see in Nature.
