Texas

Texas, the Lonestar State, where everything is truly "bigger". We followed Rt. 40 (old Rt. 66) where many of the old sites are still there. The 19 story cross, the advertised "free 72 oz. steak" (only if you eat all of it as well as sides in an hour), and the famed Cadillac Ranch where shells of cadillacs were planted in 1974 as a tribute to the Golden Age of car travel in the middle of farm fields. (bringing your own spray to leave your mark is encouraged). Jack Sisemore's Traveland contains the RV Museum with exhibits from the 1920's to present including the " bus from movie RV" and the Texas Air & Space Museum - all free for donations only - all close or in Amarillo.
