C is for Cadillac Ranch

My husband, Jim, and I traveled this great country of ours for SEVEN years in our RV. We saw many wonderful sights, visited famous and not so famous cities, and wandered through many a National Park. I have blogged through all our travels. I've stumbled upon the "Blogging from A to Z Challenge 2013". I decided to jump on board this crazy train and share with all of you places I have seen in my travels.

Day Three of "Blogging from A-Z Challenge"!

"C" is for Cadillac Ranch 

Cadillac Ranch is located right off of Interstate 40 a few miles west of Amarillo, Texas. What exactly IS Cadillac Ranch, you may ask? No, it's not a restaurant. If one would take it literally, it would be a ranch of Cadillacs. And one would be correct. But these Cadillacs are buried nose-deep in dirt out in a pasture.

Sponsored by Sam Marsh 3 (he does NOT like Roman Numerals), described as an eccentric philanthropist, artist and prankster millionaire.

Notice the spray can lying on the ground. I'm sure that these cars have been painted many times over since I took these photos back in 2006!

Notice the tumbleweed behind the car. A common sight on the open fields of the Southwest.

What you see from the road - if you didn't know they were there, you might miss them! Seriously! There is  a frontage road that runs past them, then Interstate 40, so you could easily drive right past these crazy upside-down cars!
