So you may notice that these Cadillacs are entirely covered in graffiti. Yeah, so ole Stanley encourages people to bring their own spray paint to leave their mark, so to say. Now while there is one dumpster outside of the gate, there is not a trash can in site around these cars. Therefore folks just throw their spray cans on the beautiful west Texas farm land. So this landmark seems pretty trashy to me... litterally. I wanted to walk around with a trash bag and pick up all the cans, but the smell of spray paint was getting to my head. It was windy and a few people were leaving their marks on the cars. There was a woman spraying her kids' names on the hood of one of the cars. She was doing that while yelling at her kid that he had just stepped in "dog shit." Nice. It wasn't even dog shit, it was dried cow manure. Come on lady, where did you think you were? The dog park? ha!
Belle was personally offended because she was just there to take in the sight. She then hightailed it toward the car... pulling us behind her like a sled dog. I've known for some time now that Belle is "allergic" to the country. But I thought the "country" was categorized as over grown grass fields in Inola, OK. Little did I know (until this trip) that Belle considered the farmland of Amarillo as country too. I think the cars frightened her. Hell I don't really blame her. They kind of frightened me too.

Oh my gosh. I just got a little piece of Fran! I love this blog! And I'm so sorry to learn that Belle is allergic to the country.
