Wonderful section of 66. Beautiful scenery, buildings all outstanding. Too unique to describe this area scenery.

I grew up traveling 66 with my parents, and drove it myself when I was 19. How I miss that highway 😥

Outstanding

The wigwam motel was the inspiration for the Cozy Cone motel in the movie Cars.

Красиво и необычно. Спасибо за хорошее видео🎉

Very cool! I lived and worked in Oatman for 10 years in the 90s. The stories I could tell! LOL! If you get by that way, tell 'em all Cookie says HOWDY!

When we traveled on Route 66 this summer, Arizona was the best part (and the most well marked) .

We got to Needles, we turned north toward Travis AFB.

Great Video. I love the Arizona part of 66 the most. Will be doing California and Arizona come Come January '23.

I remember the Shell station in Peach Springs very well! I stopped there for gas on one of my trips from LA to Missouri.

i love all your adventures. i was just watching american pickers they were in nebraska at amazing place harald warp pioneer village, have you ever been there it was amazing

You are right about the original route that went through Oatman. Must have been some sort of kickback payment. Cannot imagine those roads on the few days of the year that they might be icy. Also cars were very basic then and it seems it would have been a struggle on those winding roads. In 2010 we took a 66 trip and also went through Oatman. Also Hackman AZ is another memory. The owner or employee at the Hackman general store had his own police force because he wore a GLOK

Good to see you enjoying 66 in AZ! Some of the best parts of the highway. Did you go north out of Flagstaff and check out the big hole in the ground? LOL. Enjoy your videos!

Most awesome! My parents made a trip out in this area, not sure exactly where, but sure wish I could ask them some questions!! It would have been in the early 50's. Im thinking it had alot to do with that Route 66! I never thought much about it, but you have sparked my curiosity now...going to go look at all the pics I can find that they took! What gorgeous scenery, and fun things to experience! If only I were at least 20 years younger, I would go on a roadtrip!!😬 Thanks for the great video......once again!!

I traveled from Oklahoma to California in 1951. Most of the trip was on 66.

It is so tragic that much of Route 66 was tore out east of Flagstaff and some being gone between Crookton Rd (Seligman) to just west of Flagstaff.

Winslow was mentioned in The Eagles song "take it easy?

Hi John! Just a note that I'm watching your Mother Road series from Illinois to Arizona, taking notes along the way. An opportunity for a Mother Road excursion with my brother has arisen, and we're leaving in early May, from Flagstaff to Chicagoland. (We have a family event in May to attend) As always...

I was wondering what you would think of the drive to Oatman. Actually, it follows an old Indigenous people trail. Although I was born and raised in Arizona, I have actually never been to Oatman. Probably never will because I am not a big fan of white knuckle roads.

Another great video... Sadly, second to the last one... 😟

If you ever go through NM again, stop at the ghost town of Pinos Altos population actually a little less than 300. Working 1800's saloon turned steak house, opera house and also period post office. If in MO go to Camdenton, MO to visit the Castle at Ha Ha Tonka State Park and Bridal Cave. Rippling Waters Resort not far from the castle and a nice place to stay at the Lake of the Ozarks. Camdenton is 250 miles from Topeka, not sure Wichita. Topeka my home town but live in AZ now. Miss Kansas though. No snow and tornadoes though in the desert. Love your video's.

I have been to Flagstaff, I had a friend who lived there, another military brat.

Like Montee Vista

My Dad Bill Swan made a lot of iconic fiberglass statues which are placed along Route 66 some of which are in Amazon short ebook story for only 14.99 it's called "The man behind the mufflerman ".

I noticed some of the roads here as well as elsewhere on the old RT66 seemed a bit sketchy in terms of not being paved roads. Would you recommend a car with good ground clearance or were the unpaved roads not as bad as they looked?

Don't leave us in suspense. Did you buy Fort Courage? lol

I wish love to travel with you. I work all over the United States as a contractor and have been to many many places that you have been to. I work power plants , nuclear facilities doing maintenance shutdowns are usually at one town or another from a couple weeks to a few months. And when I get a day off or two my wife travel around to smaller towns and and talk with the locals and older ones that still live there and get some history on the towns and the buildings .....the same as you. I've lead a pretty interesting life working and traveling over the past 25 years. Been to alot of places and have met alot of interesting people. I love my life doing what I do as far as my my job allows me. Keep up the great work. Love your videos. Hopefully we can make a road trip together sometime. Send me an email address and I'll send you mine and we can work it out from there. I love the adventure of the day to find out what each little town has to offer. Interesting facts and history also.

So which road did you take back?

many places ,towns ,lands u just passes by .it seems like an over'view of those places as a title of the book . u didnt explore it as it suppose to be . it looks like u just introduce the places to let us know .who'ever wanna see it .just go by yourself .lol. anyhow route 66 is the route which i wanna see always as it goes to california . thats why i saw this video too .

No Roadkill Cafe? Abomination!
