Cadillac Ranch

This is one of those off the wall attractions, it really isn’t much but whimsical and fun!  Out in the middle of a field are these cars sticking up out of the ground.  People are encouraged to spray paint on them.  Some of the paint is so thick, check out the back of the cars in some of these photos.  I met a nice couple from Oklahoma, this was the first vacation for them in a while.  We talked about how things don’t happen by chance,  along with vacations and retirement.  They were going horseback riding down into the canyon later that day – how cool is that!  That might be on my bucket list for part of the Grand Canyon.

Because of the time of year I hit this, the fields were cut.  I think it would have been neat to walk up through the fields to get to these.  I was thinking the stocks were small for corn.  After I left here I came to a field that hadn’t been cut yet and it was wheat, make more sense to the size of the stock I was seeing.

I’m sure at some point all these Cadillacs looked as nice as these do way back when.

On a side note, I am averaging about 214 miles a day.  Mornings have been chilly, so I don’t get started until 10 am or after.  Plus it doesn’t get light out this way before 8 am (Maine time).  I am usually done for the day by 4 pm at the latest.
