Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted depicts the iconic Cadillac Ranch on Route 66 near Amarillo Texas. Rows of rainbow-colored Cadillacs stand partially buried, their gleaming fins pointing skyward. A bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds provides a striking backdrop to the playful and whimsical scene. The loose brushstrokes and soft washes of color capture the dreamlike quality of this unique roadside attraction.

Ernest Michael Allred was a surly carnival man who opened the Regal Reptile Ranch & Menagerie along Route 66 in Erick, Oklahoma, giving post-war American travelers one of their earliest tourist trap experiences. Showcasing over 100 snakes, lizards, and other animals (that's the menagerie part), Allred charged minimal admission to get behind the walls and then put on a show for visitors, handling venomous snakes and letting them get an up close look. Of course, the real money was in the 'gift shop' which ranged from rattlesnake rattler keychains to snakeskin wallets to remember the experience. The Regal Reptile Ranch eventually moved down the way to Lena, Texas in the '70s, where Allred erected a giant sign reading 'RATTLESNAKES EXIT NOW.'
