The Cadillac Ranch on Route 66

These photographs are my own photographic impressions of the Cadillac Ranch, one mile away from our "Oasis RV Park" where we are located since two days. Probably we will stay here one day more because of the recent rainy and bitter cold windy weather conditions and the Tornado threats to the East in Oklahoma.



The Cadillac Ranch,
located along the tatters of historic Route 66, was built in 1974, brainchild of Stanley Marsh 3, the helium millionaire who owns the dusty wheat field where it stands. Marsh and The Ant Farm, a San Francisco art collective, assembled used Cadillacs representing the "Golden Age" of American Automobiles (1949 through 1963). The ten graffiti-covered cars are half-buried, nose-down, facing west "at the same angle as the Cheops' pyramids."




Hi my friends,

We are "stocked" just now here on this wonderful Campground "Oasis RV Resort" in Amarillo Texas. No, no...it's not a bad thing to get stocked here, the place is very nice, the laundry is FREE, the parking spaces are all paved and there is also a big pool in the back, if... yes IF it wouldn't be so damn cold!!! We are freezing and have the heat on day and night inside our RV... :))

And we have also exceptional bad weather predictions, also for tomorrow, with even Tornado warnings - special for the East towards Oklahoma, where we have to go! Well, we will see...maybe we will make also a 180 degrees turn and heading back to the West again...LOL... We are free and can do whatever we want, right?.... :))

Stay tuned and have fun looking to my photos - thanks for all the nice comments!
Love you all!

Susanne
