Thanks to Melanie we took a detour just west of Amarillo to the Cadillac Ranch. A guy half buried several different vintage years of Cadillacs.
People add their graffiti to the art from all over the world. I sprayed on Carol & Roy.
He originally buried them at a different location but the city complained so he bought acreage outside of city limits and reinstalled them here. It's right beside the major highway, which was also route 66.
For night we made it to just east of Dallas to a Thousand Trails. This was the view from our trailer.
After seeing this guy on the beach it reminded me they have gators here. I don't know what this guy was as there is also a snake skin close to him. What ever he is he had sharp teeth.
Carol decided to get me fresh milk. Everything is larger in Texas. We stopped by the dairy museum. I sold them some fifties diner furniture while still working, for their cafeteria.
Now the fun part. We had another blow out. When I pulled over to change the tire, I noticed a fire in the ditch rapidly heading our way. The wind was blowing in our direction, so we thought it prudent to move a mile further down the interstate before changing the tire. There were police and fire vehicles racing to the fire, which they put out. That sure backed up the highway. Apparently a piece of my tire blew into the grass and started the fast moving grass fire. When that was out the police and fire trucks came upon us. A group of young people stopped and helped us change the tire. It was shredded and wrapped around the axle and brake drum. We had to cut it off. The fire truck is missing from the picture, it was beside us. This kept the highway backed up from all the rubber neckers. The cops were fun. They said they don't like northern Yankees but we're okay, we're from further north. We finally made it to my cousins house in Georgetown Texas and went out with them for a lovely dinner. Glad today is almost over.
