Amarillo, Texas: Cadillac Ranch

Best tip I can give is to not pay $10 for a can of spray paint at the nearby gift shop! While visiting the gift shop, we saw a group of people buy seven cans of paint for $70, plus tax! We'd brought one can with us, and didn't even use it because there was a pile of paint cans sitting on the first Cadillac at Cadillac Ranch.

The Cadillac Ranch that I saw in 2022 was amazing. People were being respectful, picking up others' cans as well as disposing of their own. As an artist I've waited my whole life to go there, and I was not disappointed! My brother and I drove cross-country, and went twice. Sunrise before the crowd arrived was the best for amazing photos.

Fun little 20 minute excursion to our road trip! Don't worry about buying paint if you're there later in the afternoon -- people will leave some out and around for free.

How embarrassing to be a Texan at this roadside dump! So much trash.

Drove from South Carolina to Arizona and back again in a week. This was the only place my 17-year-old son wanted to stop. So, naturally, I stopped. He got to graffiti a few of the cars and leave his mark. Well worth the stop to see him smile.
