A Look at the Cadillac Ranch

During my cross country trip last October I made a stop at the Cadillac Ranch on the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas. The Cadillac Ranch is an art sculpture that resides on the side of I-40. It consists of 10 different Cadillac’s with their noses buried in the ground. This place was just so odd that I had to stop and see it for myself. The cars are in the middle of an empty field and you are encouraged to grab some spray paint. For more information on this check out the Cadillac Ranch website.

Arizona Here I Come! Road Trip Starts in the A.M.

Connecticut to Arizona Map




The countdown has almost hit the end. In about 12 hours I will start my journey cross country to the land they call Tempe, Arizona. The drive is a very long one. I should know, I’ve done the cross country thing 2 times already. The first 2 times I did the trip I had someone else in the car though. For this trip however I am going totally solo.
The trip from Connecticut to Arizona is around 2550 miles long. A few of the key places I will be passing through are Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, and also Albuquerque. For this drive I plan on stopping a lot. Not to sleep but to browse around a few towns and of course there are those great roadside attractions in the middle of the country that are always interesting. One thing I will defiantly be doing is taking a lot of video. I’m going to try and capture as much of the trip as possible. During the night when I am at motels I will also try to broadcast with my webcam on Justin.tv. Of course I can’t promise that I will be able to broadcast. It all depends on if the motel/hotel has wifi. All together it should be a fun trip and I hope to share as much of it with all of you. Car is gassed up and ready to go! So lets go!
