AZ - Bagging States
Over the years on trips we have had a session where we "bag" places. Usually countries but in the US it wiull have to be states. It's using a hunting phrase where they would "bag a tiger".... It means also slightly making a detour to include somewhere otherwise missed. In that case only one of the "bags" will be genuine as the other actually requires crossing the state border to access where we are going. In the past Steve Hazlehurst and I bagged Slovenia on the way from Venice to Salzburg. A short dogleg across the border satisfied the "bagging" criteria. The first will be to "bag" Utah. To get into Monument Valley will mean a trip across the border then a quick right turn onto the Navajo lands. Bagging Utah The next will be across the other side of the state when we come down along the Colorado River, a quick detour into California and back to Arizona. Bagging California See what happens!!
