The Confluence Project, where people try to navigate by GPS to 1-degree intersections of latitude and longitude, has posted our recent visit to Canadian Four Corners at the the following URL:

Personally, I don't find the "confluence" project very interesting.  The location of the "confluences" depends entirely on the datum you are using and there is generally no special significance to the point.  I submitted my point because it falls at (or near, depending on datum) N60 W102 and I could show the monument.  Most of the photos on this site show woods, fields, water, etc.  They actually prefer photos with no people in them - something about creating a mosaic.
