When we left Flagstaff, we bookdocked our way across New Mexico, then parked for a short time in Amarillo. I really enjoy staying at the Big Texan RV Ranch in Amarillo. It may have something to do with this, or possibly this. Whatever the reason, I never complain about a stopover in Amarillo.
While in Amarillo, we discovered there are hundreds of weird street signs throughout the city. The signs were placed by oil magnate Stanley Marsh III, who is also the creator of the Cadillac Ranch, Combine City, and the Floating Mesa.
There are no maps showing the location of the signs, just random sightings as you drive around town. The photos above are a few of the signs we saw.
The drive from Flagstaff to Amarillo, 610 miles, was without incident. We drove over some really rough roads, but no death wobble. That diesel mechanic in Mesa, Arizona, may have single-handedly restored our faith in the auto service industry. Maybe not, but it's definitely a good start!
