July 25, we leave New Mexico and cross the Texas border on
Rt. 40/old 66. Right before Amarillo we see the Cadillac Ranch on the right. We
missed the first exit and got off at the second one at “2nd Amendment” Cadillac
display. This was 3 newer Cadillac's displayed with a Big Texan calling for his
2nd amendment rights. and also sold t-shirts for the Cadillac Ranch.
I then drive 3 blocks west again to the Famous Cadillac
Ranch. You had to pass thru a crooked gate to enter(guess to keep animals
out?)walk about a block thru the fields to join others taking pictures but also
spray painting the cars with each own design. People were in and on and behind
the cars to leave their mark. It was fun to watch people pickup discarded paint
cans and check them to spray. Most brought their own to use but then left them
behind on the ground for others to use. I did write my name on one of the cars
but I believe by now it is sprayed over. The paint was so thick with layers on
all cars. There was not a bare spot to be seen. After a few snap shots of the
Beautiful Cars we continued on...
We stopped at a Tourist information Center to get info on
the area and also Rt. 66 mapping thru the area. The lady recommended that we
stay in a canyon nearby. Palo Duro Canyon State Park is 30 minutes away.We get
a site for $24/nite with elec/water hookup along the shade trees but it is still
95* here in the floor of the canyon. It was a nice drive around the canyon but I
still liked the “Arches Park” the best. We pay for 2 nights to explore Amarillo.
