Oatman! along Historic Route 66 and over Sitegreaves Pass the windy 23 mile streach of rod fetures 191 curves and scenic mountain views If you ever stop at this living ghost town is worth it! This former mining town is filled with history, ghosts, and tourism options. Oatman is located about 50 minutes southwest of Kingman along the very fun Route 66

Hi Russ, what a ride. Down by that burro you stopped at on the way to Oatman is a place we used to go swimming. Up under those trees. I used to work as an assayer there at the Goldroad Mine. There are actually tunnels under 66. One night on break i was out watching this 48' semi come down that hill. Let's say my break lasted longer then expected; we were all out watching him. He made it. That hairpin he backed up and pulled forward a few times. Great journey!

I have stopped several times in Seligman (at the Shell gas station along I-40 and at the KOA campground) but Oatman is a place I still have to go after 15 visits, maybe next year. RICHARD

My brother has lived in Bullhead City for 30 years and I have been up Silver Creek so many times to get up there I can't count. Very cool place just to get something to drink while 4×4ing old miner roads like we do. But when you go up there you have to go over Sitgreaves Pass and go to Cool Springs. It is cool too.

I was through this area 50 years ago when it was more alive just a li' bit-spiffier, let's say-but the old stuff might have been scruffier back then than today. So good for 'em on that. A young man evaluates things different than a geezer. Anyway, it's on my list now. Maybe this fall. I think your channel has some of the best, most thoughtful motor touring videography on KZfaq.

He moved closer to be near his son & haven't heard from him. He was 76, Viet Nam vet & I think he passed. Wonder if Vets admin would know. I'm 66, feels like getting old/ no one cares too much about old timers 🙄 There was a SCARY movie that was in desert, The CAR, so scary! Good to see you on KZfaq

We love your channel, and even travel a lot in your footsteps :o) One question though… you don’t do your own oil changes? I own 3 diesels and other that the timing belt service etc… I do most services myself. If you have a hard time getting under the van or car, these days they have those vacuum pumps that suck the oil in like 10 minutes. Hihi… just saying, you look so handy, and you can save a ton of money! The dealer charges us $399 (with coupon) for an oil change, I do it for 60 with the correct oil and filter, etc… Anyway, love your channel, the kids are also looking forward each time there is a new video :o) Last trip we did was Page, Kanab, Bryce Canyon, etc… other than the closer to home like Prescott and such… Blessings!
