You might be wondering what it was that I meant in my cliffhanger in Day 1 (Jennifer & Colby caught on camera committing a California misdemeanor!) Let me start by saying that we really did nothing illegal. It is actually encouraged if you are on the right side of the fence. So, just outside of Amarillo we made a stop here.
This is Cadillac Ranch. If you haven't heard of this or seen it in a movie, yes those are actual classic Caddies planted nose down in a Texas pasture! Ten to be more specific.
Back to the California misdemeanor. These are customized by visitors which it is encouraged by the artist. What would be illegal in California, like I said, is completely legal in Texas, as long as you are on the right side of the fence. It is art - not graffiti. We did not bring our own can of spray paint, but found two slightly used ones in the field and tag we did.
And voila! Here it is:
The C2CDD (Coast to Coast with the Douglas Duo) 2010 tag.
And you know how they say taggers get addicted?
Colby couldn't stop...
That was our fun in Amarillo - highly recommended by the Douglas Duo with two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Back on the road again, on our way to Dallas. We were told the drive would be boring and ugly - let me just tell you, we were told wrong. At least in our opinion, it was beautiful ranch land teeming with blooming wild flower and quaint old country towns like this one.
We even saw Camels in a pasture!
Arriving in Dallas, we met old friends, Julie, Brandon, the enormous Dutch & Kitty, who were so hospitable. They fed us great food & wine, gave us a comfy bed, and sent us on our way in the morning with snacks.
Thanks guys! It was great to see you and hang out for the night.
So, for tomorrow - off to New Orleans, LA. The cliffhanger: Nighttime in New Orleans - Beignet's & Po-boy's, here we come!
