Get your kicks on Route 66!

If you haven't seen the Pixar animated movie "CARS" then go out and rent it right now. Or call us and we'll let you borrow it because we've seen it about a dozen times. Its a really great movie about a car that gets lost off the Interstate and finds itself stuck in a town that was once a thriving Route 66 stop. When the Interstate came, the town got bypassed and came upon hard times. Well, Route 66 still has a lot to show Americans on the road and we needed to take a look.

Above is a picture of the great view we had when we were descending from the "high plains" to the "low plains". By the way, America is a REALLY big country.
Out in West Texas is one of the Mother Road's greatest silly attractions....The Cadillac Ranch! Ten 1960's Cadillacs buried in the ground to sort of look like they were planted and sprouting. I didn't know that it was also in the middle of a huge cow pasture. But there's a fence right on the side of the old Route 66 and, of course, we got out and hiked through the cows to see 10 half buried Caddys. Only in America!
