We went to the Cadillac Ranch which, according to one source, was erected by a group of art-loving hippies and an eccentric billionaire in 1974. Ten Cadillacs, ranging from a 1949 Club Sedan to a 1963 Sedan de Ville, were planted fins up in the ground and graffiti has been encouraged over the years. They even have a food truck selling spray paint.

We also stopped to see the 2nd Amendment Cowboy.

Then we went to Palo Duro Canyon State Park which is the second largest canyon in the US. It was so beautiful! We hiked part of the Lighthouse Trail but Marcel started to overheat so we turned back. Talking to other hikers, apparently the last 300 yards of the trail climbed a steep incline that required both hands and feet so Marcel definitely wouldn’t have faired well.

We had a wonderful visit with Alex. The boys seemed excited to spend time with him. We drove back to our campsite in Oklahoma. We were happy to be home and relax. Another storm blew in but we still got to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
