As we were headed to New Mexico we saw a sign for a
national park 20 miles off the freeway and decided we would go check it out and get another stamp in our passport. It was called
Washita Battlefield. It is a historic site where General Custer wiped out a Cheyenne camp. It was a great lesson in U.S. history.
Today we entered Texas, I
believe this is our 14
th state on the trip. We would travel through the pan handle of Texas today.
Our pit stop for the day was in Texas outside of Amarillo. This place is called Cadillac Ranch. Basically a farmer decided to bury 10 Cadillacs into some of his farmland and allow people to come put artwork or sign them.
The kids found some cans of spray paint with some paint still in them and had a blast painting the cars.
Below is a picture of the kids by a car they were painting on.
In the afternoon we entered New Mexico and gained an hour back. We had been on Central time for over a week. We are pretty close to home now that we are in
Albuquerque. We will make the last leg of this trip tomorrow.
