Today was quite a surprise! Yesterday the show was in Texas, and today was New Mexico. After yesterday's Texas show, we went to the hotel, and that usually means that we're finished with everything in that state- nothing left but to drive out the next morning and hit the next state.
Well, Texas had quite a bit to offer on the way out! We were in Amarillo which is in the Northern part of the state. Our route is laid out such that we can get to the next show without too much distance between states.
First, we had to try something. Silas was curious as to whether this would actually work (and so were we):

Anyone recognize where that's from? Apparently you actually can do that! Next time, maybe we'll try it a bit closer to the Alamo...
We drove on and passed by a big crowd of people gathered around something. I looked to see what was going on and I immediately recognized something I've seen a zillion times in photos. Ever seen this?

That's a spot called "Cadillac Ranch". It's an art thing created in the early 70s and consists of ten Cadillacs half buried in the ground (and supposedly sticking up at the same angle as the pyramids of Giza). It's actually a really cool thing to see- and they encourage you to decorate the cars with spray paint!
Of course, we had to tag a car with our name:
Not sure who that kid is that's photobombing us from up on the car! Seriously, this is a great place to unleash that hidden graffiti artist that you always knew was inside. If you're ever in Amarillo, you should see this.
We headed on towards New Mexico. Today's show was a private event (the only one on this tour) and it was indoors (thank goodness, because it's hot!). The folks in attendance were great!
The plan tonight was to get as close as possible to Colorado for tomorrow's show. We didn't want to go the wrong way so we made sure, when in Albuquerque, to turn left:

We're staying tonight in a hotel in Bloomfield, New Mexico. We have less than an hour to go tomorrow to reach Durango, Colorado. This one is for a big community event- should be fun!
