It’s a visit to the Cadillac Ranch which, according to Wikipedia is “a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas, U.S. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm, and it consists of what were (when originally installed during 1974) either older running used or junk Cadillac automobiles, representing a number of evolutions of the car line (most notably the birth and death of the defining feature of mid twentieth century Cadillacs; the tailfins) from 1949 to 1963, half-buried nose-first in the ground, at an angle corresponding to that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.”  I’m not sure I would mention the Ranch in the same article as the Great Pyramid of Giza, let alone in the same sentence. Cadillac Ranch tends to be a place where people go to empty a few cans of spray paint. You might think by looking at the picture above that the cars are out in the middle of nowhere. In fact they can be seen from I-40 and were at one time a lot closer to the center of Amarillo. Today, they are on the outskirts of town. The Ranch is something of a hold-over from the old days of the counter-culture coming out of the 1960′s.  Just like me.
