Arriving at Our Rural Retreat
In Trilby, we were warmly welcomed by the farm owner, along with many dogs, horses, sheep, goats, and pigs. Yes, we are staying in a house on an organic farm in the middle of nowhere. It is beautiful here!

The Cadillac Ranch: Art with An Unclear Message
The constantly changing art installation started in 1974 when an art group called Ant Farm came up with this original idea. But why? It’s assumed they wanted to pay homage to the American car culture. However, sometimes artists like to challenge visitors through their artwork. They might have sent a different message, which meant the opposite of celebrating the booming car industry. Cadillacs in the 70s were symbols of American excess, so the art installation could have been about “giving the middle finger” on too much consumerism and car dependence. I love to believe it’s the latter.
