Well, the strangest thing happened to me some weeks ago. Rumor came to my ear that RedBubble is leaving Down under and considers moving to Switzerland. Heck, I thought, shaking my head in amazement, could that really be true? What great news that would be! I felt rather silly taking up serious investigation on it, but then again, why should I care what others think? I searched all over the place for hints and clues about that forthcoming relocation of RedBubble to our beautiful country. Where would they go? To Zurich? No, probably too expensive. Geneva? No, probably too frenchy AND too expensive. Berne? No, Swiss capital city that no one knows of. I travelled miles and miles, asked hundreds of people, officials, media and finally, out of money and very disappointed, had to give up. No use, the proverb of that blind squirrel that finds a nut once in a while did not work for me. Frustrated like I was I had to go somewhere else, breathe fresh air, clear my head and get my mind on something else. So I decided to go on a hike in our beautiful mountains. What a great idea that was, because there the blind squirrel unexpectedly did find that very special nut! In a small, unconspicuous hideaway in midst of the wonderful alps I found the place where RedBubble already had marked its territory! In pure delight of my sudden success and feeling like a biologist after having made the discovery of his life I hid behind a bush and squatted there for several hours in the hot sun. Camera ready and hardly breathing I hoped for a glance at that very special and rare species called RedBubble. To my great regret I started hearing the sound of church bells ringing from somewhere down in the valley, becoming louder and louder. Would that noise scare RedBubble away and ruin my shot? Well, I’m not sure if it was the hot sun or the long squatting, but guess I must have passed out. I woke up the next morning save and sound in my bed like nothing had happend. The church bells turned out to be the sound of my alarm clock. Darn, I thought, was all that only a dream? Disappointed I got up and stepped into the shower, letting my dream pass before my eyes over and over. Suddenly I remembered having taken a picture of that territory mark shortly before I passed out. No, stop it, I scolded myself, it was only a dream, forget about it! But I HAD to know. With shaking hands and still dripping wet from the shower I took my camera from the shelf, connected it to my notebook.and started the upload. After double-clicking the last icon a picture slowly developed on my screen: Make up your own mind folks! Greets / Deri / not to be taken too seriously :D

Driving east with the sun at our backs, we came into the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas late in the afternoon. It was here with the flat grassy plains stretching into infinity on both the north and south sides of Route 66 that we came upon a sight that was the quirkiest by far. Have you heard of the infamous Cadillac Ranch? Ten Cadillac automobiles buried nose-down in Texas dirt, all perfectly aligned at the same angle as the Egyptian pyramids (or so the story goes). We pulled over onto the grassy shoulder of Route 66 and then walked about 100 yards through a field for a closer look at these upended caddies. The Texas wind was blowing across the plains at a howling 25-30 miles per hour, making me feel a bit unsteady on my feet. However, those solidly planted Cadillacs were completely oblivious to wind and weather. After more than 20 years in the ground, one would think they would have rusted away. Monty felt sure that all the layers and layers of graffiti paint over the past 20 years had totally sealed every single part from roof top to the undercarriage. We had never seen anything quite like it and if you are ever on Route 66 on the west side of Amarillo, you don’t want to miss it! Route 66 runs straight through the heart of Amarillo. Most of the route through town has completely lost its 66 flavor, but one section of Sixth Street (between Georgia Street and Western Street) recently saw some revitalization to preserve its Route 66 heritage. Amarillo is a Texas town with true cowboy flair, evidenced by side attractions such as the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Heritage Center and Museum. There is also signage all along the interstate advertising a local steakhouse that offers a 72-oz steak, free of charge, if you can eat it all in one hour including all the side items that come with it. It was on one of our side trips out of Amarillo that we met The Big Texan, a 7-ton cowboy. Even though the early morning “backlight” would not make for a great photograph, I took a snapshot anyway just to show his size. Located in the town of Conway on U.S. 60, this cowboy is standing 47 feet high in front of a closed-down restaurant. He was one more quirky sight on our Route 66 road trip. If you have been driving through the plains for too long, you can develop a strong, uncontrollable urge for something uneven…Palo Duro Canyon State Park fit the bill perfectly for us. Upon arriving at the headquarters to the park ($4 per person admission), the terrain looked the same – just more flat plains. But only a short distance into the park the view opened up to reveal a gorgeous vista that we immediately dubbed the “Grand Canyon of Texas”. Cut by the Red River, the red canyon walls are hundreds of feet deep and 125 miles long. It was a beautiful canyon park! There were camping sites, shady picnic spots, well-marked hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. We drove slowly through the 16 miles of paved roads and didn’t leave until late afternoon. Why did it take several hours for us to drive 16 miles? Monty knew the cause immediately. He pointed out that every time he slowed down, the passenger door flew open and the camera & tripod exited the vehicle along with me!

MCLEAN, TEXAS The sun was dropping on down when we arrived at McLean. In the downtown area, the road split into one-way east and west bound segments, divided by a city block. Although closed for the day, we saw a dual museum called “Texas Route 66 Museum / Devil’s Rope Museum” The term “Devil’s Rope” referred to barbed wire as there were two gigantic balls of barbed wire perched on concrete columns. Where else but on Route 66 would you find a tribute to barbed wire? It is a wonderful country we live in! A great photo opportunity was the tiny cottage-style Phillips 66 gas station all decked out in fresh tan and orange paint. The sign on the street corner indicated the station was originally built in the 1920’s and was the first Phillips 66 station in Texas. An antique Ford tanker truck was parked to the side, also painted a bright orange with the Phillip 66 emblem on the door. The gas pump showed a price of 19 cents per gallon! As we drove west through McLean on Route 66, there was the smell of something delicious cooking! We followed our noses to the Red River Steakhouse. Once there our stomachs began to do the Route 66 rumble… We were greeted at the door by a very friendly hostess who had the same southern accent as we did. For a tiny town like McLean, the parking lot was packed when we arrived. A full parking lot at a local restaurant is always a good sign. We were late-comers for supper and people began leaving while we were eating. Everyone knew everyone else as there were shouts of goodbye from across the room and farewells that included “be careful driving home”. It was obvious that this was a very friendly ranch community on Route 66. As my daddy used to say, we must have “popped out like a sore thumb” as visitors because the waitress immediately wanted to know where we were from and the hostess later brought out the guestbook so we could sign it. A big ole salad was served first, heaped high with crisp, cold lettuce and lots of fixin’s. Then our 8 oz. steaks were placed before us, completely covering a large platter. The steak was so big that it was nudging the baked potato out of the way! Both were tender and cooked to perfection. The complimentary dessert of homemade peach cobbler was delicious. For $1 more, we added a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. If you are anywhere near McLean near supper time, don’t miss the Red River Steakhouse.
