So we finish off the trip with a visit to Cadillac Ranch. What, you’ve never been to a Cadillac Ranch?
Out in the middle of nowhere. Right off Route 66.
Out in the middle of a pasture. Cadillacs all buried nose down into the ground.
Could I make this stuff up? This “exhibit” is the brainchild of Stanley Marsh. He has quite a few, well, weird arty things scattered around Texas.
Visitors are actually encouraged to add their graffiti. There are layers and layers of paint on these cars. It didn’t take much encouraging for the boys to have their hand at it.
Each of them had to have their turn. One spray paint can. So they had to share… 
It took time to find just the right spot to tag, don’t you know. These things take time.
You have to stand back and admire your brothers’ handiwork.
There’s time to take lots of pictures and stand back and contemplate the meaning of the universe.
Oh look! Another female!!! Very exciting!! We brought along oldest Texas son’s cute girlfriend. She’s a trooper to put up with the 5 boys and their, well, maleness.
SuperGuy looked this happy the whole trip. We have so much fun when we all can be together! I’ll leave you with one last photo…
Pointing. Again. What’s up with that?? 
~~~~ THE END ~~~~

I’ll say it again, “only in Texas!” Looks almost as hot there as it is here…safe travels.
Ooohhh, I’ve always wanted to see Cadillac Ranch up close and personal (and drive what’s left of Route 66). I think the installation was actually created by an art collective called Ant Farm, but Marsh was the dreamer and backer. It looks like you had a great trip; everyone’s so happy!
Amy, yes, a group put in the Cadillacs, but Marsh was the “brainchild” and put in $$ for the project.
It really was interesting to see. Marsh has backed a lot of projects around there. The Floating Mesa for one…which I don’t really think looks like a floating Mesa…but I digress…
That’s funny! I’ve heard of a Cadillac ranch, but that’s not what I had in mind.
SuperGuy looks really happy! And it looks as if you all had a good time. You have a handsome family! And your beauty makes them complete!
Love that last photo! They are so funny.
What a lovely family! You’ve all “blended” beautifully! :grin:
You can almost smell the testosterone.
I guess that place would be a *guy* place.
Looks like everyone was having a great time.
I’ve always wanted to see Cadillac Ranch and travel Route 66, too.
Too funny about the continued pointing!
Now that kind of graffiti I can enjoy.
We have something very similar here in Nebraska – it’s called CarHenge and is a bunch of cars buried in the ground in the shape of Stonehenge. It is less than an hour from my hometown. Sigh…
Anyway, here’s the link if you’re interested:

Melissa! I went to the carhenge site. Cool idea!
Thanks for visiting my blog. You like the name of my blog? I ADORE the name of yours! I’ll be visiting often.
Kacey, I just love catching up on your blog! Your life is so full and interesting! And weird, buried cars?
Thank you for those pictures! That is such a hoot! And you weren’t alone in the girl-ness that trip! Yay.
The pointing is just the “thing” isn’t it?
I think that was featured on “A Talk Show Host Who I Shall Not Name” show. It was during her road trip with her best friend. I no longer watch that show as I have issues with HER, but anyway…I thought it was cooler to see it on your blog anyway!
That looks like soooo much fun! Thanks for sharing Kacey! You know while I was looking at your pics today I realized that someday you won’t be the outnumbered, you’ll hopefully have 5 beautiful daughter in laws to share your days with too! Hugs & Blessings!
Was the “colorful” caretaker of the ranch on hand the day you were there? He’s got wild curly hair and has that “homeless” look about……and he loves to show you around. Hmmm…..if he wasn’t, maybe he wasn’t really the offical caretaker…….and maybe he WAS homeless. :wtf:
Wow…Texans do some crazy stuff. :smile:
Love it! Never been there… but another place to add to my list of “wish to visit one day” places.
I can’t get over what a handsome family you have!
