C3Q II Daily Dispatches From The Road- 10/6/26

2 States: 29) Colorado, 30) New Mexico 

We left the hotel and finished packing the Challenger by 10:30 am before driving off to the first post. Zoraya administered the second insulin shot for the second day in a row since my sugar again exceeded the 400 mark. (Normal is 90-180, 181-250 is high, 251-399 is extremely high and 400 and above is dangerous and life threatening. )

After departing the hotel parking lot, we drove around the immediate areas to locate the first posting site since Page is virtually the last city before entering the next state. After circling different  parking lots ,stores  and eateries, I found a spot that featured the Arizona red rocks canyon backdrop that I was looking for. Oddly enough, in a shopping center next to a Burger King. I positioned the Challenger next to an orange concrete base light pillar painted orange that seemed to compliment the mall sign and BK logo color along with orange copper colors for the background landscape. There were a few customers sitting at the outdoor benches watching as I cleaned the surface of the orange concrete base and proceeded to post the first poster of the day. 

Getting the other western states at the four corners. (New Mexico and Colorado) This proved an easier task than usual considering there is a national monument called the four corners that straddles these four states. 

Ten years ago.this spot was barely a tourist attraction let alone a monument and was free and now it's ten dollars per person. And it actually closes at 5 pm with locked gates. Tourists that arrive later are shit out of luck, (disgruntled tourists in the recent past.) There are six flags around it for the four states and two nations.

There are six flags around it for the four states and two native american nations enclosed by a four sided market area where vendors sell  arts and crafts. There was a tourist lime  that formed to get to the center of the monument where they took pictures in various poses. While Zoraya gathered witness signatures from the vendors, I stood in line and started prepping the insignia posters but this time not with spray adhesive, but instead with removable blue painters tape in order to keep the posters from flying away as we took video and pictures from all four sides.
