Then you my friend, are probably mistaken. The Four Corners, where Utah Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet has a nice marker so you can stand in four states at once. The problem is a new survey shows the marker is in the wrong spot! Guess they didn't have GPS satellites back then. The real four corners is about two and a half miles away.
There is a monument at the fake Four Corners where they charge $3 for the opportunity to be in four states at once (I wonder what happens if you commit a crime while standing in four states? Who gets jurisdiction?) I see a great opportunity for some enterprising person to build a new monument at the real boundary and charge even more money! Capitalism at work!

This is a great opportunity for a second story lawyer (office the stairs) to file a class action suite for fraud on behalf of all the people that paid the $3.
I heard that the 'plaque' that shows the geographical center of the continental US is in the wrong spot. It actually is in a field nearby somewhere.
now if I can go downstairs and forget what I went down there for, I'm sure somebody could go where they thought they should and forget exactly where to go... I get lost all the time, my train derails frequently!
I think there's a bar named Four Corners in every city in the country.
Wow, I could see where GPS technology could start up all sorts of border and property line disputes.
You know logjam, I was there as a child and now feel traumatized that I was in the wrong place now that you mention it.
