How many times have we driven by the Cadillac Ranch west of Amarillo, Texas, without stopping?
Today we stopped. Nobody had this one on their list. And the early morning temperature was below freezing. But we parked and hurried out to the curious monument. Perhaps that’s the point of our adventure.
The cars are located a little bit west of where we first saw them in 1992 (blame urban creep). By then they’d been around for 18 years, but the first place we stopped for directions we got blank stares.
In subsequent trips along Interstate 40 we’ve usually seen several cars parked along the frontage road that parallels the interstate, with tourists headed out toward the cars. Surprisingly we’ve never noticed cattle, but today saw plenty of cow pies waiting to punish those not paying attention where they walked.

I love the third shot of the cars at the Cadillac Ranch. Nice composition!
Do you remember what time of the day it was when you took the third photograph? Thanks…
Pretty early in the morning.
