Cadillac Ranch, Texas

Posted on August 21, 2014September 26, 2024 by Mrs. Padilly

Texas’ Best Graffiti Stop!

The Cadillac Ranch, near Amarillo, is one of Texas’ most famous roadside attractions. I’ve visited the ranch many times., and it where I created my Mrs. Padilly logo.


TRAVEL PHOTOS, TRIVIA, & TIPS:

Don’t forget to bring a can of spray paint! But don’t worry if you forget, as you can usually find discarded cans on the ground (but it’s always nice to have your own).

Best to keep your favorite shoes at home! Rainy days can make the field muddy. The Cadillac Ranch is actually on a real ranch, with real cattle. Don’t want to step in any surprises with your favorite shoes.Man spray painting at Cadillac Ranch

Don’t forget to take a picture of your art when you are done because the odds are good it will be gone by sunset.  On this day I created my new logo.

This picture shows the thickness of the paint.  I’m convinced it is only that paint that holds these Cadillacs together after 34 years and counting.

Expect lots of crowds on the weekends and holidays. Very hard to get pictures without people in them.

You probably think I’m taking a picture of the entrance/exit gate to the ranch…
