Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas // photo by meCadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas // photo by meHello, hello from Amarillo, Texas … I understand it’s been raining cats and dogs back home. Not here. It’s been like 85-90 the last couple of days here in the Midwest.

Making some pretty good time – not that I’m in a huge hurry or anything. I’m milking my three weeks, and I’m only four days in.

So far I’ve stayed in Columbus, St. Louis and Tulsa, and here I am in Amarillo, which is in the Texas panhandle, about 300 miles from Albuquerque – which will be my next stop.

I’ve been through Amarillo a few times before, but this is the first time I’ve set up shop for the night.

Amarillo is home to the Cadillac Ranch … which is 10 Cadillac cars buried in a cornfield on the outskirts of town off I-40.

No, I’m not kidding.

Someone thought it might be fun to bury the cars and then spray paint on them. Very, very odd, but very funky and artsy.

I posted two photos here – click on them for the full version and take a look. Crazy stuff.

Hoping to be in Vegas by Sunday … going to go out and explore Amarillo a bit.

Again, I’m posting short video clips of my trip on Facebook. If you really want to see those, go to Facebook.com, search Jeff Reinhart and send me a friend request.

More later.
