this one evidently even predates the 1912 az & nm
statehood accessions
http://www.ancestral.com/cultures/north_america/navajo.html
so i suppose it is still looking there pretty much as
originally marked by darling in 1868
which was only 5 years after it even became a
quadripoint
but only a quadriterritorial point at that time
for it was not yet at all a quadristate point
a transformation that occurred by quarters in 1876 &
1896 & 1912
& all still decades before the several 20th & 21st
century prettifications
which reminds me to ask again
has anyone here recently visited there
or seen a fresher pic of the quadripoint than the
unexceptional wikipedia cut dated august 2005
& noticed any difference in the marker
subsequent to the latest known makeover
as reported & pictured in
http://governor.utah.gov/photos/Photos%20from%202004/11_2004%20November/2004%20November%2012/Four%20Corners%20Dedication/
& as previously mentioned in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/19064
or was the sand box in the pix there just for a navajo
sand painting or something else ephemeral
& not really involved in any lasting makeover
once it was picked up & carried off
perhaps immediately
after these latest known pix were taken
but can anyone fill in or close out this fresh if not
imaginary blank spot
