    Near the Hooters off 40 twords town is where the buried Caddys were till 1997 when they relocated (2 miles west) them out there..so in "97 those new cars in the new location were complete with original faded paint for awhile...the old ones were a little closer to 40 also...TY..!

    Welcome to Texas Russ. Yes a lot of it is flat but there are some beautiful mountains in West Texas and some great hill country along the Balcones Fault. You can spend a life time seeing some of the cool places in Texas. But I will tell you this. If there was no Texas I would want to live in Arizona. Its an awesome state.

    Pretty cool. I remember Cadillac Ranch with the stock paint jobs. What's knocking around in your van? It seems like it makes the noise when you leave your camp spot and get on the road. There's always something knocking around back there I suppose. Enjoyed the ride as usual. Safe travels.

  • @leroymoore76

    if you come back interstate 40 just after you cross over into new mexico you kneed to stop at that Russell truck and travel center. i think it exit 392 or close but anyway they have a free collection on old cars and memorabilia thats really cool. well worth the stop and leg stretching better than the rest area a couple miles earlier.

    I'm watching this a couple of years later. Next time you go through this area, pull off in Glenrio, NM. The town sits across that Texas / New Mexico state line and was in its hey day in the late 50s, early 60s until I-40 bypassed it. Great ghost town, was even included in Cars with the Glenrio motel. My grandparents ran a service station and cafe there. All of the gas was sold on the Texas side due to cheaper fuel taxes and liquor was sold on the New Mexico side because Deaf Smith County was dry.

    Russ, another great Video, I passed all of your attractions hundreds of time going back and forth to Cal in my 30 years of trucking but never stopped. what kind of gas mileage are you getting with the van in all of that wind? also how much DEF are you burning out on the open road.

    We were there a couple of years ago. Fumes from all the fresh spray paint was harsh for me anyway. I did not spray. I do know there was a gent who sold cans of the spray paint sitting next to the entrance and he had cartons of the stuff. Nearly everyone had a can in hand. Interesting but not as nice as I had expected. Very very sprayed over with messages and names.
