Let's all go to the Cadillac Ranch

We only cut across the northeast corner of New Mexico and after the little stop at the Volcano we made it quickly to Texas.

Doing some geocaching along our way, we discovered this neat cemetery just outside the Texas Boys’ Ranch.

This is a grave in the nearby pet cemetery. Notice the tennis ball on top of the cross.

We spent the night in Amarillo and bright and early the next day we went to the Cadillac Ranch. Although we had driven by the Caddies many times over the years, we had never stopped and walked up before.

Due to the fact it was raining I left the big cameras in the car, so all these shots were taken with the point and shoot.

You are encouraged to leave your mark on the cars. So while I walked around snapping a few photos, Haden shook the paint cans lying around trying to find some paint.

Looks like someone spent some time there.

There’s a virtual cache there and Haden found some paint so the guys painted our handles on the car with the tires that don’t turn. Check - another cache found by bandits and Lil’ Banditto.

And Haden made his own mark. Proof we were there.  But the funny thing is, our marks are most likely already painted over.
