Playing with spray paint


Cadillac ranch is just cool!  Just west of Amarillo Texas are 10 cars partially buried in the middle of a field.  Supposedly they are buried at the same angle as the Giza pyramid.  These were buried as public art in 1974. They are just fun. People park along the road, cross the field, and spray paint whatever they want on them.  Whatever you paint won’t last long since someone else will be by soon. 

When we were there about 10 cars were parked.  I saw people from kids barely able to walk to eighty year olds.  Most people will buy a can or two of spray paint, but if you forget you probably will find someone who has extra.  We handed our can over to some kids who ended up being much better artists than we were.

The paint is on thick by now.  John was amazed that the bolts in the wheel were completely covered so that you can’t see them anymore.

Fun day!
