Shiprock, New Mexico.
We stayed overnight in a big-rig parking lot next to the shopping center. Five separate times, people knocked on the RV asking for cash. One knock came after 10 PM, and another before 7:30 AM. After a while we started passing out water like it was money.
This is not common. I've never experienced this kind of intensity before, and it made me nervous, grumpy, and sad. However, you should stop long enough to see Shiprock and the weird volcanic geologic features in the area.

Volcanic breccia
Breccia (/ˈbrɛtʃiə/ or /ˈbrɛʃiə/; Italian: brecce) is a rock composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock cemented together by a fine-grained matrix that can be similar to or different from the composition of the fragments.

Now I need a .edu domain.
There is a ridge that extends for miles, which was part of the throat of the volcano. There is no punchline.

| "How about that Marla Hooch!" at Four Corners |
Four Corners is the iconic spot where four states meet. Your parents brought you here in a station wagon. Your sister kicked you for three days.
It looks like I'm nearly alone on the plaza. Really, I stood in line for 40 minutes to look like I was alone.
