That girl with the tattoo is Olive Oatman. She was kidnapped in an Indian raid. They killed her parents and siblings and took her and her sister captive. Her sister died of starvation, but Olive was sold to the Mohave Indians, where she stayed for 4 years, during which she was tattooed. She was eventually released for a horse and some blankets.

Why do you not have more subscribers????? Of most of couples who do this, you are two of the most inquisitive, curiously intelligent vloggers. I love this trip you're doing and I love knowing more about the places you visit.

Best ep in the series. Loved the secret Grand Canyon views with the snow and clouds, the old towns and wide open skies. Fascinating that the womans Mohave tattoo was so like a Maori moko.

Hi from OZ guys, I have been catching up with you on this road trip. Spectacular space, colour and mountains and I can now understand better why you enjoyed being in Australia, travelling outside the cities. Grand Canyon was spectacular with the cloud and snow. I love the the history but also the little snippets of cultural 'things' like Tia pinching the Juniper berries. Those little things are what are what make the people real, it is what tourist do not get, and that is sad I think. Safe driving you two. Cheers!

Drone appreciation comment ❤

This is I think by far the most interesting segment in this episode… the landscape and small old towns are just too beautiful…

The famous international law breaker Tia has to be the one that speeds! 😂

Seeing the canyon with the cloud lower than the rim is amazing. I love that you give alternative views of your destinations.

The Grand Canyon is amazing, did the helicopter ride around the west rim, then went camping and rafting for a week there. Seeing it from a helicopter reminded me of the Great Barrier reef, don't get a real sense of how big it is until you are elevated. Althought the GBR is bigger than alot of countries. As an Australian it felt like being in an alternative universe driving through Nevada and Arizona. It reminds me so much of the Pilbara and Kimberly, just not quite as red. You guys need to comeback and see northern WA, it's magical and the oldest place on earth in parts. You too will feel like you're in an alternative universe, just the canyons will be alot maller than what you're used to, but still incredible. And what you said about the sky being bigger is exactly what it's like in Australia in parts, the sky foes seme bigger and you feel insignificant.

This post is crawling with us Aussies...love your work you two!

Great interview with Angel the father of the Mother Road . I hope that he can live to see Route 66 turn 100 and the next year he will turn 100 as well. So much history from a living legend

At the Canyon on that peninsula was utterly spectacular and the views peeking through the cloud was magical and the time lapse was very cool too, great photography and content guys 👌🏼👍🏼

This is all so very different from Australia! Thank you so much for taking us on this trip!

The rim of the canyon...with a dusting of snow....is well and truly on my bucket list. Have only seen it from a joyflight. Oh, Tia speeds the most for sure, but her smile will no doubt get her out of any tickets !!!!

Thanks, guys. We are Australian and Arizona was our favourite place in the States. We stayed in Flagstaff as a base and visited Sedona, Grand Canyon and many other places…. Truly beautiful

I can't get over how beautiful and stunning your videos are! Informative, interesting and so pleasant to watch. Thanks so much!

Omg I always thought Arizona was desert and barren. That view at the Grand Canyon was stunning! 😮 ❤

So, as kids, Flagstaff was like going to the big city for you guys? That must feel so different now that you’ve both seen the world.

Its not normally the one who asks the questions fault so it must be Tia

I agree…so magical the Grand Canyon in the clouds. Love that you went there instead of the regular touristy lookout. Thank you for sharing!❤

I really enjoyed seeing you visit and explore my country (Oz) and it's so wonderful that you're sharing your home with us. Route 66 has long been a fantasy trip for me. I also love that Cheveyo takes the time to remind us how pretty Tia is ... who btw definitely speeds more. 😁

The various landscapes do remind me of remote parts of Aust!

Good to see Cheveyo survived since the previous video and Tia didn't have to take him out for scaring her... 😂

It's great to get a look at Arizona. Loving the snow fall and how it beautifies the landscape but glad there isn't any in Queensland 😁I'm sure it was awesome to be at the Grand Canyon and listen to the deafening sound of silence! Great way to recharge. It's been a pleasure riding along on your Route 66 journey, your commentary is always fun and interesting and I must say that your drone footage is always brilliant to view. "Do you think it likes waffles?" Cracked me up Tia😂 Looking forward to the next travel chapter. Travel safe ❤

It's always going to help to have the Grand Canyon as the backdrop, but that photography was spectacular. I no longer get out so much so I live vicariously through travel channels and similar, but that was awesome. Thanks for taking us along.

One of the hardest things for me about moving from Canberra to Melbourne is the constant artificial noise. I really miss a soundscape dominated by the sounds of abundant nature. The peace you feel in your bones, your DNA, your soul when enveloped in nature is so different and so necessary.

I guess Tia must be the speedy Gonzales, isn’t she ? Arizona is an amazing State , the drye air makes the beautiful colors even more shining. Diners are wonderful witnesses of the 50s and should be preserved for future generations. Have an interesting and safe trip. Best wishes from Switzerland. 👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🇨🇭

Missing you two from NZ.❤

That park ranger😂. you guys are always so happy and polite, sucks to see people rude to you. Ah well he must have been having a bad day.

Australia and the USA have one thing in common.. BOTH BEAUTIFUL .

Arizona looks stunning. Nice to see Tia and Cheveyo proud to show off their home turf.

It always amazes me that everywhere on earth seems to have it's own unique light. Video doesn't capture it, but it's the first thing I notice whenever I return to Australia.

I'm loving this Rt. 66 series that you guys are doing! I can't wait to see where you go next.

I love this channel. You take the time to show us the whole experience, not just the big showy attractions. I almost feel like I’m travelling with you.

Another enjoyable and interesting leg of your Route 66 journey! Spectacular views of the Grand Canyon! Love how the historic value of these small towns, their diners and retro neon signs are being preserved. You have captured the feel and essence of these places respectfully and beautifully with your videography and editing skills combined with the soundtrack. Like seeing your deep appreciation of your home state - much like my own of Australia! To weigh in on your question - I think Tia would feel the need for speed more!

O m g , thank you so much for sharing your special view point of the Grand canyon !!!! Absolutely breathtakingly stunning... your whole route 66 trip has most definitely reignited my passion for this on my bucket list.. ❤❤ thank you so much.. ps. you 2 are such an adorable couple, have loved watching your vlogs for a few years now 😊

well executed episode. interviewing the route 66 legend was done like pros. tia plays her role, with note tablet in hand, attentively. it was surreal when she transformed herself into none other than lois lane, mild-mannered reporter for the daily planet news rag. as if superman was looking down on you proudly.

This vlog was stunning, from the filming and editing but also just for the sheer beauty of Arizona. And incredible that you guys got to talk to Angel, that was such a special opportunity and it's wonderful that you recorded that for this. Just 😍😍😍

Thank you again xx😊

What a trip you two have had, I've watched you both all of the place and now you're back on home turf, brilliant!

I cannot BELIEVE you two worked at the Kickstand! I go there all the time! So cool to see the fruits of your labor all these years later. Happy roadtripping!

Loving this road trip series ❤

Truly beautiful episode guys

💙 Another great video. I like that you included brief conversations with the locals; it really helps telling the story of a town or landscape.

This episode was one of the most beautifully shot videos on youtube seriously

Looking down onto clouds that are within the Grand Canyon makes one realise just how damn big it is. Wow! Great trip guys....the end is in sight. Well done.

Such a beautiful state is Arizona, your photography was terrific at the Canyon. I have really enjoyed your trip down Route 66, thank you for showing me a part of America that goes at my pace. Speaking of pace, I'd say Tia is the fastest driver racing to get to her next coffee, burrito or ice cream 😉

Those donkeys were so adorable

i went back and watched some of your early videos from your eauropean travels , and it's great to see you both more comfortable in front of the camera and your personalities have really come out with that , keep enjoying your travels , i will keep watching mainly because i enjoy you as people but also to see the world with you.

Wow arizona looks stunning! I'm from Australia and your aussie videos were recommended to me so I went back and watched all your previous videos up until now. I love your videos and you guys are such a cute couple! Me, my parents and my bf are visiting arizona as my dad is from Chicago and we have family in 6 different states across usa. So excited to see the grand canyon and explore arizona in September🤩

Love the footage of the canyon. I’d love to go there someday.

Hello from Australia thank you for this wonderful series about Route 66 can't wait to see how you finish the journey in your last video!

Wow! Beautiful guys. I love the light your capturing. All the best from down under :)

Omg, met Angel while travelling twice in the 90s amazing he’s still around.

Awesome video capturing the beauty & nostalgia of the past perfectly. It just reminds us the need to slow the pace down & open our eyes to the simple things in life usually are the most rewarding for the soul. Fast paced busy/noisy/SM addicted city life is driving anziety & depression big time in our younger Y & Z generation. I think if you two can make it back to Australia and finish off the West Coast and the Kimberleys between the months of May & Sept the absolute beauty of nature's best will remind you of back home for sure (but this time in a 4WD with a camper on the roof)

I have to laugh, when you mentioned the elevation of the continental divide (which is probably at the foothills of the Rockies), that is the highest elevation in Australia (+/- 30m}.

I'm thinking that Leadfoot Tia is the person speeding....

The Grand Canyon looks so amazing!

I enjoy your videos and following your travels. I would love you to go slowly through some of the towns you pass through so viewers can see more of what they are like.

hello you two, are you missing the Australian Sunshine ?? we sure miss you.... PLEASE TAKE CARE.

21:22 - Is that somebody's home up on the hill? That's pretty cool.

Yep, Tia sure is pretty. Beautiful scenes, best in this series 🤔👍

Tia we also have wild donkeys in outback Aus, in the Kimberley 😍🥰

Hi, years ago I had horses, mules and a mammoth Jack donkey. Called him Billy Jack. He was possibly the best pet I’ve ever had. If someday you settle in a rural area or have average get a donkey, you will love it. Steve(68yrs) Manitoba

Aw I thought you guys would stop by Sedona. But yeah me too, I live in AZ and didn't know some of these places. Very cool

Thank you for a brilliant video. It is so nice to see the other side of America , which is often misrepresented. Stunning scenery and lovely friendly people. ❤

Hi from The Land Down Under. I loved Arizona and really enjoyed following along, brought back some great memories for me, thanks for sharing guys.

Another great vlog and how fabulous is the guy who initiated Route 66. Can’t believe he is 97 🎉. The Grand Canyon looked amazing. The Capertee Valley about 3 hours west of Sydney is the widest Canyon in the world. Very different and not as spectacular as the Grand Canyon but a fun fact for trivia nights.

Hi from Aus again, gotta say my heart went into my throat for a split second when just after you left Angel’s place i thought you were about to be ambushed by a man on a roof 🤣 PS Grand is an understatement.

Yay! You stopped in OatMan, AZ. I love that town and knew you would too. Thanks you two

Awesome vlog guys 💯❤️🇳🇿

Sorry Tia, but I'm guessing you have the leadfoot. Loving your treck across America. About 12 years ago, whilst holidaying in America, we took a coach from LA to Las Vegas and crossed the historic Route 66. We only stopped for a short time to stretch our legs, buy souvenirs, and take photos, but we loved seeing it, even if it was just a sign ❤🇦🇺

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey as always!

Wow!

Thanks for the video. It takes us back to our trip along 66. Especially loved Oatman. Good luck in California. It might be more difficult to find some of the old roads in places like LA, but there are some real treasures for anyone looking. Have fun, be safe.

Loved this video, again the videoing, drone work and editing is great let alone the camera on a stick! I really enjoyed seeing the Grand Canyon in cloud, very dramatic and vastly different to my visit and helicopter flight over it a couple of years back. Certainly experienced deja vu on your visit to Seligman having experienced Angel's shop and yes even having an icecream where Tia got hers ! Wish I had seen Oatman, now that IS a great example of an old western town ..amazing :) Your drive on the longest part of Route 66 was well worth it and you again have brought to us the picturesque nature of your home state Arizona. Thank and On Ya Mates !! Oh, Tia is the lead foot ! 😇😋

Love your vids guys & your passion for both travel & your home state! Def on our bucket list in the next few years! Enjoy & I hope you are being rewarded for your great content!

Lovely to see you two again (from Oz)

Hi from Adelaide, South Oz. Recently I watched a docco on LA. Facial tattoos on women (at least, don't know about the men) were part of the culture of the first nations people in the LA region.

It's a wonderful privilege to go out and see the world, and an even bigger privilege to come home 💚

Thanks for taking us down your memory lane at Flagstaff.. sweet. The Grand canyon was beautiful! Love all the clouds. BTW Tia, you are not allowed to have a donkey 😅😂 love it. Keep enjoying guys ❤

There be snow in the great dessert in Australia and Africa.

Thank you so much for this vlog… brought back very happy memories of my last visit to the US. The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley were indelible highlights. There are lots of visually awesome parts of the US but Arizona, Montana are Wyoming are my most favourite parts. Cheers from Oz!

I get what you are saying about the sky. Truly expansive. We get used to some spectacular things and only realise how uncommon they may be when we travel outside of where we were raised. For me, I have yet to see a blue sky the colour of the sky where I was raised in Adelaide SA. And to experience coastal waters as warm as there. Hawaii beat it obvs. And if I were back on the west coast, I’d been eating Mex or Baja every day as well ❤. I have memories of hiking the Grand Canyon 30 years ago - had no idea what the heck I was in for, - boy what a big day that was (and my poor feet). Enjoy and happy trails.

Flagstaff is used by athletes to get some altitude training

Loving this road trip. America is different but same as Oz, it is huge and a lot of empty space with characters everywhere. The Grand Canyon was the absolute highlight of my USA trip. I think it is the majestic feel, hard to describe the peace you feel when looking over it. Sad this trip is over, but onto the next adventure. Safe travels.

You inspired me to drive route 66 one day!🏙️🏜️

seligman is the real life " Radiator springs "

I reckon Tia would be the speeder . Great trip of Route 66 and nearly at it's end . Don't forget you still have the Northwest of Western Australia to complete your Aussie journey . Happy travels :-)

I was at the Kadampa world peace temple in Williams when it opened and enjoyed seeing it, briefly as you drived by 😊

What a wonderful place.

Thank you guys, your video to visit Grand Cayon bring back our memmory 20 years ago when our mother from Vietnam came US to visited us.

Guy’s really enjoyed! Living in Japan and home (Chicago 6,346 miles) makes me homesick as your trip has always been my Bucket List trip. #1 place on my lust being Grand Canyon in winter. More importantly, every time you guys get “killer burritos “ I about die over jealousy. Japan is so void of “Killer Burritos “! My wife and I (and dog) love your Channel!

I actually saw two Indonesian plates 12:58 One Jakarta, and the other is from Bali

Cheveyo it seems you have more driving experience than Tia, so you can control your speed better than her, so Tia for lead foot. Also the shot of you in the Grand Canyon , it was like you were both angels floating above the clouds. 😌

Grand Canyon, awesome sight. Kinda like the Blue Mountains but no trees.

Tia’s the road runner for sure!

Okay, now I get it. Thank you for showing the us the true heart of the US ❤

i found this is the best part of the route,,, play the song ,,whilst driving we drove hot rods to la from the east 30 cars it was blast alan from aussie the great greybeards ,led by don from duncan okieland

The same thing has happened here with the highways bypassing the little towns.
