Today was a travel day so there's not too much to report.
After saying our good-byes we headed northeast out of Alamogordo. Our first stop was the Blue Hole (underwater sink hole) in Santa Rosa, NM. We were planning to take a dip, but 64 degree water didn't feel inviting enough, didn't have towels AND we forgot to apply for our diving permits! So we snapped a few pics and continued east on the Mother Road.
Our next tourist stop was Amirillo, TX. We've driven past them numerous times, but have never stopped to see Cadillac Ranch - ten cadillacs nose planted into a field. Over the years these cars have been stripped down to their frames and spray painted on a daily basis. If you're unfamiliar with this piece of art, check this webpage out: Cadillac Ranch
We're on our way to Branson, MO - yes, I said Branson, MO - and our driving goal for today was Elk City, OK. But there was still plenty of sunlight left when we arrived so we continued on to Oklahoma City. That will shorten our drive tomorrow by a good hour!
So that's it for day 5. We're checked into our hotel, fed and sipping a glass of wine. We hope to hit the road early tomorrow morning.
Sweet dreams.
Liked the no tourist pics, especially at the Blue Water hole. As you know i'm not an artist, but artist must like the Cadillac Ranch art.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you are having good time, especially when you are motivated to drive a little more and then have wine when you stop for the day.
You are so right. I LOVE my retirement, the wine also help.
