Amarillo, TX

As any Texan knows, when beginning a roadtrip the 1st stop is often in Texas since it's such a big state! Amarillo has the best steak house, The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery. Bring a BIG appetite!

Many people have heard of the Cadillac Ranch, a popular attraction since 1974. I think the paint is all that holds the structures together now.

There's a new "ranch" in town now. Originally from Conway, Texas, the Slug Bug Ranch has been moved to Amarillo. It features half-buried Volkswagen Beetles and Limos that visitors can spray paint.
