Cadillac Ranch Gift Shop/Texas Every tourist needs a memento
Just down the frontage road from the Cadillac Ranch is the Cadillac Ranch gift shop. It is before nine in the morning so it isn't open but they have a sign out front that encourages lollygagging. This gift shop is presided over by a twenty foot tall...
Cadillac Ranch/Texas Brainstorm
Before you reach Amarillo, following I-40, you look to the right and see a series of Cadillac's stuck in Texas dirt in the middle of an unplowed field. In the old days the Cadillac's used to be natural, like they came from the factory. They had huge...
What is a Tucumcari? Enroute to Texas

Footprints/Hotel Playa Beach Side by side/Hotel Playa
This is a conundrum. At first glance these are footprints on the beach. At a second glance you discover the footprints are not pointing the same direction. At first thought, I wonder how this happened? Maybe a man with a peg leg twists his right...
Sunrise/Sunset in Mazatlan Following the sun
Some of the grandest moments on a trip to the ocean are when you wake up and when you go to bed. First thing in the morning the sun pushes itself up onto its throne and has its cleaning staff sweep away darkness with stiff brushed brooms. Last thing...
I wuz Here On the beach at Stone Island
One of the first things I come across on this Stone Island beach is a handwritten message scratched in the sand, still hours away from being erased, by the incoming tides. It brings up an old question - "If no one hears a tree falling in the forest, does...
