Top 50 American Road Side Attractions

I love road side attractions and the picture for the link to the story was the Cadillac Ranch in Texas where we stopped in April on the way home from Santa Fe. I don't really have time to look through the list right now, but if I post about it on my blog maybe I can get back to it someday!

Favorite picture I took at the Cadillac Ranch.
