This morning after I
woke up and got dressed, we decided to eat breakfast out. First, we stopped by Cadillac Ranch. We have driven by it several times but have
never stopped so we wanted to stop and put our touch on one of the cadillacs. For those of you who do not know what
Cadillac Ranch is, some old guy partially buried 10 cadillacs in the middle of
a field along Hwy 40 on the west edge of Amarillo, TX. The front end of the cars are buried and the
remainder of the cars is sticking up out of the ground at a slant. It is a tourist attraction as there seems to
always be numerous vehicles parked along the outer road. To enter the field you go through a narrow
gate that leads you to a wide dirt path through the field to the site of the 10
caddies. The cars all have been spray
painted with graffiti numerous times and it is customary to bring a can or cans
of spray paint to put your artistic touch on the cars. The paint on the cars have become very thick
as the paint changes daily. The negative
side to this site, is it has become very trashy…some people just throw their
paint cans and other trash down among the partially buried cars, the pathway
and the roadside where they pull over to park their vehicles.
After stopping by there, we went to eat breakfast at Cracker
Barrel. It was super busy. I love their pancakes with blackberry
topping; I always order the same thing.
After eating breakfast, Bob filled the truck up with
diesel. Then, we located a car wash and
washed the truck.
Then, we went back to Oasis RV Park and worked the remainder
of the day until we went to bed, getting ready for the big move tomorrow.
Bob was outside doing some chores when he noticed a Mobile
Suite real similar to our new one we pick up tomorrow. The couple was outside so Bob went over and
visited with them. The man was not
familiar with the LevelUp System so Bob showed him how to work that. They talked about different things with the
Mobile Suite. They invited him in to see
it, so of course Bob went in and looked at it.
It was a different Model but was the same make and size. They got talking about the wheel beearings
and Bob told him that he knew a couple that lost their RV to a fire due to the
bearings overheating. Anyway, come to
find out, the couple that Bob was talking about that lost his RV to fire (our
friends Ed & Marilyn), that couple had met them at a park near San
Antonio. Small world!!!
I finally went to bed around 12:30 a.m. I have my alarm set for 5:50 a.m; hope I can
sleep. Bob wants to leave in the morning
at 6:30 a.m. to go to Rolling Retreats
in Elk City OK to pick up our new
home-on-wheels.
Have a productive week!!
