Smile Please help a Geo-geek . . .

OK, I admit I am a geography geek -- always was, still am, likely always will be. Probably why I like to travel so much. I have photos of me at northern end of Route 1 in Ft Kent, Maine and at the southern end in Key West. I also have a photo of me at the easternmost point of US territory (Point Udall on St Croix), the 4 corners area in the SouthWest, etc, crossing the equator in Kenya, one foot in each hemisphere at Greenwich, and even the Rose Line in Paris (pre-DaVinci Code, too).

Well, I took a trip to the 4 corners areas and was delighted to see our route would pass the Continental Divide. So, as my travelling friend and I were heading westward we nearly passed it without noticing it. He was a bit concerned when I backed up on Route 10 [Correction: Interstate, I-40] for about a half-mile -- but I was on the shoulder! (mostly, ) It was hard to get a photo with all the semi's zooming by but I got it.

Sad to say, the photo is wayyyy out of focus.
Would any of you wanderlusters happen to have a photo? Or, if you live or plan to travel near the Divide, take a snapshot for me. If so, PM me and I will pay whatever cost you might incur. Thanks.
