Rick, you brought back many memories of last year's westward portion of my cross-country road trip from Maryland to Central Coastal California, although my SW/4-Corners portion included a lot of north/south zig-zagging.

I had hoped to van camp in Bandelier National Monument for a couple of days but some "special event" was going on the campground was closed as were sections of the park which led me to add a couple of nights to Santa Fe (originally a one-night stopover). The positive outcome of that was spending an afternoon at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.
