Today's ride is back on Route 66 from Tucumcari, NM via Amarillo, TX to Red Rock Canyon state park, OK. I stopped at the Cadillac Ranch to admire the graffiti art of a row of eight Cadillacs half way burried in a stretch of bare land, a little set back on the side of Highway 40 also known as Route 66. Spray cans were standing by for visitors to add there own signature. Near the Texas stateline, in the town of Shamrock stood another Route 66 historic landmark, the Conoco gas station and drop-in cafe. That night I camped out in the canyon, which was shaped some 260 million years ago by wind water and natural forces. Today was another scorcher of a day reaching temperatures around the 100'F, and even in the canyon it was not much cooler!
