Am 85 years & my parents drove this road 4 times to California from St. Louis ( took highway 40 from Indiana, then 66) where my dad worked in the shipyards, Drove a blue Pontiac all that time. Mother would read to my brother & I from the Burma signs. Was 8 years old the last trip back home. Lots of memories!

I spent 9 months as a travel nurse in Arizona and loved traveling through the state. Forget the highways, the backroads are the only way to travel.

Thank you so much. I always wanted to drive 66 but the wife got sick and will never get to go. Thank you for this video my wife and I watched it twice. At least we got to see Oatman before we died. 😜

Oatman was such an unexpected delight for my wife and I about 20 years ago. We were headed back to Laughlin from Lake Havasu and London Bridge and just lucked onto it. Then we missed the turnoff for the direct route back to Laughlin and took old 66 back to Kingman, One of those unforgettable experiences that happened totally by accident and that I'll never forget!

Hello, My wife and I are French and we love to visit the USA, already 4 long stays. We did this part of Route 66 in September 2019 ... but in reverse. And next year, it's planned to do the entire Route 66 from Chicago to L.A., still in Harley-Davidson. Thanks for your videos.

Back in the 70s the interstate was not done everyone had to travel Ol 66 thru Kingman. We stopped at all three truck stops that were there including the one in the video. It was a Shell ,The Kingman Truck Terminal. I think it's Crazy Fred's now. I 40 ended at Seligman, and didn't start again until almost the Colorado River.

1967 we drove from Springfield Illinois to LA on the mother road. What a wonderful memory to have. Great experience! We have taken this route many times in our retirement the last 15 years and it is one of our favorites too. I’m so happy to see so many people in Oatman. Keep on touring and sharing the adventures. You do a great job. 👍🏻❤️🙏

I love Oatman. The donkeys are so tame and come right up to you hoping for a carrot treat. There used to be a program where you could adopt a wild burro or horse if you had the land,etc to care for them.

Just about a mile back up the road toward Oatman are some steps carved out of the side of the hill which leads to a small pond part way up the hill. It's feed by an underground spring. There are even some small fish. Really cool view from there as well.

Hey Russ, another great video. Back in the summer of 59 I traveled that road in a rambler stationwagon with my mom aunt and 2 cousins going to Colorado. Had to travel the desert at night because cars had no ac. If you look over the side before the summit down in the ravine you can see the remnants of an old car or pickup that went off the road years ago.

One thing about Arizona... when walking the desert you MUST always look were you are walking... there are hidden tunnel entrances which can kill you. Same is true in cattle ranching area... often the cattle will be out walking the desert and they use highways like sidewalks.
