If you are interested in seeing more of this road trip, I started posting videos from each state in this playlist kzfaq.info/sun/PLO6_l08lsWOggzNbH57Mrlckm2tI0nAPZ

In the 50’s, my mom drove my brother and I, coast to coast, using Route 66, many times, as my dad was career Navy. Norfolk Va. to San Diego, every two and a half years. Wow, what a trip. Fantastic video thanks!

I am indian still have feelings for this place it seemed to be awesome...

I'm an old 66 roadie having driven the old road dozens of times back in the 80's when the road was being re-discovered visited a lot of places that no longer exist

Awesome road trip! I lost my dad 3 years ago and I wish we done stuff like this together while he was around. I’m glad you are able to make these awesome memories together.

Oh my gosh. That brings back beautiful memories. I’m 64 now, but my family and I used to travel the old Rt. 66 when we took our 2 week road trips to California from here in Michigan. We stayed in the original old motels in places like Amarillo and Tucumcari. We stopped at every Stuckeys roadside store to buy snacks and souvenirs . Ate in the restaurant that was built over the Will Rodgers turnpike. Wish I could turn back time for one more of those trips. Thank you gentlemen for taking down memory lane. I’ve shared this video with my family. 💕

My 14 year old daughter and I drove the first part of Route 66. We stopped in Holbrook Arizona to go South to visit my Cousin. We drove as much of Route 66 as we could and stopped at every place we could. We promised when she gets her drivers license we are going to finish our run from Holbrook to the Pacific Ocean. See my husband and I talked about retiring, buying an RV and heading out West Via Route 66 but he died 2 years ago. She jumped from the cliff at Blue Hole, spray painted a Cadillac. It is the greatest adventure ever!! Glad you and your Dad got to travel it together!! Thank you for sharing!!

Williams, AZ is pretty cool too. Reminded me of Radiator Springs.

I love America ❤️ I wish that i could live there 😭 U should be very appreciated for living in such a beautiful country God bless you all 🙏

I retired in 2015 after spending 38 years OTR as a coast to coast truck driver/owner operator. It amazes me when I think about all of the places I have seen in the course of my job over the years, but, yet so many places I haven't . I will be going back on the road soon to live out my life full time and cannot wait to see all of these places you showed in your video plus so many others! Thanks for the ride and tour! Have a blessed day!

Thank you so much for this video. When I was in my mid-teens I rode along with my mom dad and sister going to the Southwest on Route 66. So many good memories. No air conditioning but we have plenty of ice. That was where I saw one of my first of 40 UFOs. I'm 85 now and wish I could do it again.❤

hotels you stayed at along the drive and hours driven per day are much appreciated. Tks

I am working on a full hour-long video on the entire trip that my dad and I took, as well as written content to help with the planning for a Route 66 trip as well. Hopefully, I will have that done by the middle of November and it will all get posted to this channel. Thanks for the support with this video!

I remember traveling on RT 66 back in the '50s from central Oklahoma to California with my Dad. We made several trips in both directions back then. It was the only way to go in those days. Freeways were scarce outside of the larger cities. To my knowledge there were no interstates then. 66 seemed to be mostly 2 lanes. It seems like I remember there being 3 lanes through the Texas panhandle. The center lane was the "suicide lane" for passing.

As someone that has recently retired this is on the top of my list to do, Drive the entire length of Route 66. Watching videos like yours helps me to decide where to go, and what to see, thanks.

Living outside the US is hard for me to fulfill my bucket list. The animating movie calls, Cars by Pixar, inspires me to have a road trip along Route 66. I hope one day, my dream can be fulfilled. Thank you for the Video.

I drove 66 when I was 12 years old back in 1958 with my parents all the way from St. Louis to LA and then repeated most of it in 2008 50 years later. Nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Lots of great memories.

A century !!! I'm from the UK,and our history goes back 1000 years.

"The Dog House" in Albuquerque, New Mexico is without a doubt "THE BEST" in the world!!! Although living on the other side of town it was a road trip in itself just to get there. When in Albuquerque, it's worth the stop! Travel Route 66 whenever I can. Very nice to see such a resurgence of roadside attractions. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

My Mom and Dad took me down RT 66 from Cincy Ohio to Las Vegas every year from 1955 to 1960. we stopped at most every attraction, my favorite was the "Cliff Dwellings" and the Alligator Farm.

Doing Route 66 again. Thank you for the motivation.

You already know how much I love your videos; but the fact that your dad tagged along for this trip, made it even more special. He looked, and sounded so happy to be there, that it made me smile 😊

I had my hair cut by Delgadillo in Seligman, many years ago. Have pictures and some video someplace from that day. He was a very down to Earth guy, a nice guy, who loved to talk, especially about his life and Route 66.

The only reason why I know what Route 66 is. Cars.

Lived in Central Oklahoma for just over a year and loved everything about the west and exploration, visited Pops and The National Cowboy museum. Great video guys.

I have a feeling I'm going to watch this many more times. Wishing my parents were still alive. I think your mom must be jealous of your father-son trips because she never appears in these videos!

Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful adventure to share with your father!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful video! We are traveling Route 66 backwards, right now. Started May 5 at Santa Monica & just got to Gallup! We love the history & we are exploring everything we can! You two are awesome!

As a kid my family drove Route 66 from the Midwest to visit Disneyland in 1957 and visit with family in California. The old signs reminded me of a video I have where we stayed in "refrigerated rooms'' at motels along the route back then. Great trip to share with your Dad.

I did the Route on a motorcycle several years ago. One of my best memories.

Thanks for sharing this trip is on my bucket list for sure.😊

I only drove a short section from Seligman to Kingman in 1994, but I got to know Angel Delgadillo and I still have the signed book from his shop on the shelf. Good to hear that he is still alive, even if he must be very old. Thanks for the wonderful impressions! I wish I could do such a tour again, but unfortunately my health is very limited and I'm afraid it won't be possible anymore. But who knows ... all the best from Switzerland!

Great video! As a transplanted WNY'er who now lives just off route 66 I was surprised how many of your suggestions I've stopped and enjoyed.

My family and I drove Route 66/I-40 every summer from Etiwanda, CA to Ohio from the late 1960's through the mid 1970's. I loved every mile of that trip every time we took it. I witnessed first hand Route 66 from my hometown to St. Louis and the demise of the towns as sections of I-40 were completed. I still remember so much about the different places along the way and seeing places still in their hayday. I have a few souvenirs that are now 50 years old but still look like the day I got them. I just wish that I had the forethought to have a camera with me over those years. Thanks for the video. It strengthens my memories.

Can't wait to take my kids on a route 66 road trip this summer! My oldest has been hooked since he first watched CARS!!!

Thanks for the video guys! I really enjoyed it and is my bucket list now.

We drove parts of Rt. 66 years ago, and got to meet and chat with Angel Delgadillo and have lunch at his brother’s snack shop next door in Seligman, AZ. Couldn’t have been nicer folks to visit with, and all the postcards from many different parts of the world were impressive to see. It’s definitely an important part of the American experience and a nice history lesson of days gone by.

You guys knocked it out the park! Home run video. You have great 👍🏽 music, visuals, and stories about the classic Mother Road/Route 66! Classic Americana gets brighter with people like you!

Great video, brought back some amazing memories, thanks man 🙌

I'm looking to come over in September 2026 to ride Route 66 on a motorcycle. I've never been to America before and this will be a birthday treat to myself for my 40th. I'm giving myself three weeks to complete the ride. Videos like this really get me excited!

I live in Kingman, Arizona and work at the Mohave Museum of History and Arts. Kingman is A MUST on any Route 66 road trip. We have great food, vintage shopping, lots of turquoise, fascinating historic museums and many points of interest. In and around Kingman, you can find many points of interest, such as the Grand Canyon Caverns near Peach Springs, Hackberry General Store (the model for Lizzy's souvenir store in the movie "Cars"), Giganticus Headicus at Antares Point, Hualapai Mountain Park and much more. Never bypass Kingman! You'll miss the heart of the longest uninterrupted stretch of Route 66!

I have spent most of my life living within a few miles of Route 66 and traveled much of it as a child. But when I saw Rt. 66 memorabilia in a gift shop in St. Malo, France, I developed a deeper appreciation.

Thanks for a great video. It is so close to our 2012 drive of the route over 25 night it's frightening

Absolutely love this channel!!

Thank you for these route 66 videos. I'm going next October and I am just so excited!

Absolutely loved this. I remember traveling from Chicago to LA in 1959 when I was 9. We traveled Route 66 before it was historic! I remember the Twin Arrows and the TeePee motel...of course the Burma Shave signs are gone. Then as a trucker(1998-2003) along I-40 I saw some of the places you mentioned. In Seligman we weren't able to get into the places you mentioned. We did go to alot of Route 66 shops though. After trucking I always wanted to RV to see the places I missed. However we were able to take our 18 wheeler down a stretch of Route 66 off of I-40 Essex to Ludlow. What an experience! I remembered the steep hills and twisty turns. It was great to re live it with you and your dad!

Excellent. This drive has been on my bucket list for a long time.

Living in Florida most of my life, one of the things on my bucket list is to see the Grand Canyon. This inspired me to take Route 66 on the way out there. Thanks, guys.

Awesome trip guys!! Sounds like you had a wonderful father/son adventure!

This is amazing 😍🤗❤️ thank you guys.... Love me some history

Excellent video! My wife and I have rode Route 66 many time while touring America by motorcycle. In 2013 we spent 4 weeks exploring all the different alignments of the old road. It gets in your blood! I agree that there are so many things to see and do. Narrowing it down to 20 would be tough. I would encourage anybody that is interested in Route 66 to take the time and do some exploring NOW! Many of the old Route 66 locations are in bad shape and disappearing. (😢) And do talk to people you come across on the Route. We were really struck by the number of foreigners that we ran into on this trip. People come from all over the world to travel Route 66. We visited with a young couple from the UK at the Rail Haven Motel in Springfield, MO. They had flown to Chicago from London, rented a car and were doing the route all the way to Santa Monica. When I asked how they had heard about Route 66 they said “ Oh! It’s the most famous road in the world!” 🥰

Route 66 is one of the top 10 on my bucket list😉 I've been through several parts of route 66 before they started cutting it up in the 80s, and I was sorry I hadn't taken the full route while it was still 1 long road. Thanks for the video you've given me wonderful ideas about how to traverse route 66 now💕

I have taken a couple of trips from Memphis and picked up the Route 66 in Oklahoma and drove on to California. It is definitely a worthwhile road trip to remember.

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from UK.

Twenty years ago I made the journey (by car) from North Carolina to California, picking up Route 66 just west of Oklahoma City. This video brought back a lot of good memories. I hope to hit the segment between OKC and Chicago one day.

Great video! Making the trip this summer (in reverse of your journey) and will be sure to visit your recommend stops!

I spent a month on the Mother Road in my ‘91 Corvette back in 1998 when I retired from the Navy after 32 years and met many of the great characters who have lived along the route for decades. Santa Monica Pier to downtown Chicago. One of the more interesting aspects of this trip was meeting busloads of German and Danish tourists who still watch the old Route 66 TV show with Martin Milner and feel that the road defines the essence of the American spirIt of moving west and making a new life. Fascinating.

Oh the memories. Thank you. New fan.

Having traveled two-lane highways in the 50s and 60w with my family I would love to visit these places! As an adult I stood on a corner in Winslow Arizona hitch hiking from Iowa to California. Today I would definitely drive.

I'm 18 years old now and live in the Netherlands but I would to drive route 66 someday, it's so fascinating to me.

Excellent video! Inspired me to take the Route 66 trip.

This is a very well done video. I have seen several of these places during my 27 years in Arizona and New Mexico. I look forward to seeing more in the future as I will now be working in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri. I will be watching more of your videos.

I very much enjoyed this video, well done!

👍 Happy to revisit your video again. Never gets old.😁😁😎🔔🔔

Really like your videos, thank you!

Great job on this video ...Would like to see more....Thanks for sharing................

Lovely trip thanks for sharing. It is much better now than in the earlier '80s...

Thanks guys. I am inspired. I enjoyed your video.

Fantastic guys..thanks!

Thanks for another great idea for an adventure. Since hiking is out of the picture for me now, this is a great alternative. You have great videos.

That's awesome exploring everything along the way! Something I myself don't do nearly enough of :)

Hey guys. Thanks so much for your post. I've been to some of the places in your video but your video gives me goosebumps. I'm planning my next trip and will definitely add some of your favourite locations to my trip. Much love from a UK viewer. ♥️👍🇺🇸👋

GREAT job, you guys! REALLY enjoyed the video, and will watch it again and again. Liked and subscribed. THANK YOU!!!

My brother and I drove the entire road in 1995...a fantastic experience and we still talk about it.

This is awesome! I am hoping to do this in the spring.

Excellent view. Thanks

Nice trip! I used to drive from Chicago to LA in 2days. I enjoy the time in car.

Million thanks for the great video.. planning for a drive through 66..

Wonderful ! Thankyou for sharing yorur trip with us ! - (my son & I ) - It was great to just tag along with you guys ! - Thankyou once again ! SB British Isles

Thank you very much for your explanation! I feel like taking a trip to Rout 66 right away~~

Brilliant thanks guys for sharing to the uk ❤️👏

Awesome video!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!! It Looks like a great road trip.

Route 66 is carved up and is no longer continuous. Parts of it are really good especially from Ash fork to Oatman. But don't think you will be on the old road the whole way like they did in the 40's.

With Covid raging still, I was thinking of a solo road trip. So I bought a Route 66 book and am seriously thinking of doing this. I know many museums may be closed but many of your recommendations are open 24/7. So thanks for posting this. I love caves so if those are open, I’d love that. If not, seems like there are plenty more things to explore.

Your video was amazing! Route 66 is my dream trip and i am going to do it. Bucket List item for sure!

I'm planning to do that in a few months and will use this video as a guide. Thank you.

I'd love to make a trip like that but I think the best takeaway was that you and your dad got to go together.

I live in Michigan, I drive to Arizona & Nevada every few years, I like to get off the InterState once in a while to get on different Historic 66 spans. I was lucky enough as a kid to recall being with Mom & Dad for trips on 66 in 1955 & 1960 when it was still the "Mother Road".

Another food recommendation is...The Palms Grill Café in Atlanta, Illinois. Excellent food and people.

Excellent list.

Great video with fantastic info :) I'm currently travelling Route 66 and one of the many stops I'm so looking forward to seeing is the Black Mountains, such incredible natural beauty, I plan on spending a whole day there. Looks awesome!

I remember road tripping with my family and seeing the Cadillac Ranch before it became graffiti covered. Must have been in the mid 70s. Glad you and your Dad had an enjoyable trip!

Great Video, filming and audio thanks for sharing. Professional job🇨🇦

I enjoyed Seligman AZ a lot too, but I think Westside Lilo's Cafe is the place to eat there. Great food and very nice and friendly people.

Great video. I just returned this sunday from driving the whole Route 66 in 3 weeks.

A wonderful video of Route 66 in all it's American charm. Hope one day, I'll get to visit some of those places. 🛣️

Great video guys.

It makes me dream. I hope I can visit Route 66 one day. Thank you for your videos! Greetings from Argentina

Cool video Yall, I enjoyed it!

This is a trip I am taking--don't know when, but I am obsessed with the desert. Something about this hwy has just mesmerized me. Once everything is back to normal(whatever that is) I can cross the border and visit.Love the American Southwest. Nobody wants to see this great hwy threatened again.
