Nice ride from Rhome TX to Bridgeport TX along SH-114
Thanks. We will have more from there area in a couple of weeks.
@autotrails4105 welcome and I will be tuned in for it
Such a nice ride out there
Glad you could ride along;.
Nice ride along US highways 67 and 90 from Alpine to Marfa
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
GREW UP IN FAR WEST TEXAS AND EVEN LIVED IN ALAMOGORDO FOR ALMOST A YEAR. USE TO LOVE THE CHERRY FESTIVAL IN HIGH ROLLS. SPENT A LOT OF TIMES IN THOSE MOUNTAINS HIKING AND CAMPING.. THE CREEK IN THE CANYON AT THE TUNNEL IS BEAUTIFUL AND A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND ON A HOT SUMMER AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
I am glad you enjoyed the trip. We captured quite a bit of video this past summer through New Mexico to add to the ones previously released.
It's nice when trains are operating on the tracks during filming. Did you know their schedule or just get lucky? I enjoyed the video and the history lesson.
Catching a train is purely luck. There is some extensive footage in the Route 66 videos in California and Lincoln Highway videos in Iowa.
This is a nice wintry drive! My family and I stayed in Eagleville for a funeral 9 years ago and traveled on 69 as well as the lettered routes between Eagleville and Bethany several times on that trip. Beautiful, peaceful, and rural. I could retire in that area.
I definitely agree about the beauty of the area. That section in western Iowa is captured in other videos closer to the Missouri River in the summer.
What a nice ride along that nice route
That part of the country is rich in both history and scenery. Many tend to overlook the area as being just more of the Central Plains.
Nice ride from Alba to point TX along FM-2795. Howdy from Beaumont TX
Thanks for watching!
What a nice ride along FM-71 East
As we are based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you will see many trails within Texas.
New subscriber here
Thanks for joining us. Stay tuned as we typically release 2 auto trails a week to explore.
@@autotrails4105 you're welcome
At 6:48 it looks like a Shelby Cobra or a least a replica, with his Corvette buddy following are out for a cruise in the opposite direction. Nice video! Thank you for your work!
Thanks for pointing them out. I am a bit of a motorhead myself and spend more time than I should watching auto channels on TH-cam.
@3:20 Transportation,there's suppose to be the Interstate 57 extended to Little Rock,Part of 57's Alignment is along 62-67😉
That is true, but the more enjoyable drive will always be along the two-lanes.
Beginning of The Ozarks😍💚👍
We will be capturing some video footage from the edge of the Mississippi Delta to Eureka Springs in the fall.
Staying at Oak Flat Campground, which you drove past, and enjoyed learning more about the area!
Thanks for watching our video. I wish we could have gone farther up the old highway beyond the barricades.
You guys got my Grandparents house off of Highway 114 at 24:15. In Megargel, Texas. They have a ranch-style house on the left side. Pretty cool.
Rekindling memories is one of the pleasures of presenting these videos. Thanks for watching.
Amazing video as always!
I am glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to come back for more as we are trying to consistently present new ones twice a week.
@@autotrails4105 Great
@@autotrails4105 It seems like the video deserves more views
I'm so glad you drove this so we don't have to.
I am glad we were able to bring that drive to you. Thanks for watching.
At 16:44 you passed Winslow's 9/11 Memorial Park on the left which contains two pieces of steel from the Twin Towers.
Thanks for the info. I had just this past weekend came across a TH-cam video on that same subject--where the metal from the twin towers ended up. th-cam.com/video/MCEq95bqbgs/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygURdHdpbiB0b3dlcnMgc3RlZWw%3D
The Suwannee River flows into the Gulf at Suwannee Florida not Cedar Key
Thanks for the correction.
27:45 passed by my childhood home.
Beautiful vistas through that area but very remote.
My childhood hometowns...attended Amboy School.
Hopefully someone will develop that stretch of Route 66 and bring some prosperity to the area.
I really love this channel. So well done.
Thank you very much for the compliment. It is viewers like you that keep it going.
Absolutely. Keep them coming. I could watch all day.
The eight million dollars of gold extracted from the creek. Was that the value of the gold when extracted or today's value? I learn some more history every time I watch one of your fine videos.
Presumably that would be the value during that period. 8 million dollars would not take very much gold in today's values.
I used to ride my ATV all through that area. The gate was always locked at the Tumble Inn. I moved out of California but thankS to your video I get to see it.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was purely by chance that the gate was open. I believe there was a power line maintenance crew that I passed and that may be why it was open.
Hasn't changed much since we drove this trail in 2017. Nice video.
The panorama descending into Panamint Valley is one of the beautiful scenes along this route. I really enjoyed the trip through the region.
Cool song 😊
Thanks. We try to find music that goes with the motion.
Love this!
Really glad you enjoyed it. We have two parts of a trip through Death Valley available and a third will be out in about a week.
It's a much prettier drive in the summer
I imagine it is beautiful in the summer. It was March when this video was captured. The one bonus of capturing video in the colder months is you can see through the trees.
Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy the videos as much as we do creating them. Thank you.
Get some Dum Dums
We will be releasing another Ohio video next weekend. Stay tuned.
@@autotrails4105 My Mother was from the home of Dum Dums
I love that awesome country!!!
New Mexico and much of the southwest have such great vistas to see along a drive. Check out our latest from New Mexico that was just released.
Very well made clip, just passing through, staying the night at *PILLOW TALK MOTEL* I'm certainly glad the motel was recommended to me. *HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, EVERYONE*
Thank you for the positive comment. We have just returned from a circuit through the Western U.S. and will have many other routes to explore.
At 7:02 in the video when you turned right how far does Old Latexo Road go to the left? I was expecting you to meet a Conestoga wagon or a Model T on the dirt portion of Old Latexo Road. At 8:57 in the video do you think that tank is an old oil tank? Is there oil in this portion of Texas? Another fine video!
The route to the left goes by some homes before ending behind a transformer station. I would guess that the tank is used for water locally as there is not a large water tower nearby. Oil does not appear to be much of a player in Latexo's history, but oil was produced in the area beginning in the mid-1930s. www.texasalmanac.com/places/crockett
Love Texas backroads, especially when they follow old travel routes. Great video and history. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. I just captured some more West Texas routes last week and should have some videos up in a week or two.
@@autotrails4105 Great!! Looking forward to it!!
Thank you! I love these back road trips through history.
You are very welcome. Keep a look out for a Tennessee video coming out in a week or so.
What are the towers @ 1:23, 26:56 and 38:55 used for? Is this U. S. Highway 129 the same highway in Tennessee that contains "The Tail of the Dragon"? The auto on the ferry @ 25:09 looks newer that 1925.
Those towers appear to be communication towers. They are often located near state facilities. U.S. 129 travels from Florida, through Georgia, and into Tennessee. The photo is dated by the source which is provided in the video description.
You can see miles and miles and miles of Texas in the first part of the video
Many of our videos from the American Southwest have beautiful panoramas since there are fewer forests to block the views. Thank you for watching.
At 1:15 in the video, was that a Ford Model A in the oncoming lane going for a cruise? Lots of railroad history in this video. Fine Job!
Good eyes! That is a Model A. I have added a screenshot to our blog post of the video. caddopublicationsusa.com/2024/06/02/american-auto-trail-lackawanna-trail-blairstown-to-belvidere-nj/. Glad you enjoyed it. We have a couple of videos from the same area coming up soon.
The Ohio Art building at the beginning just beyond the railroad crossing is where Etch-a-Sketch toys were made until recently.
Thank you for the info. It is those bits of history that we try to bring to our viewer's attention in our videos.
Just got this on my newsfeed! Thank you for sharing!! 💖
Glad you enjoyed it. We will be back out in Arizona in a month to capture new footage.
@@autotrails4105great I’ll look forward to seeing it! Thanks
This video is an excellent reminder that I need to go back to Vermont soon.
It had been decades since I had been back, and I hope to return to New England next year.
Thanks for the video.
Glad you came along for the ride.
I enjoyed the video, thanks.
Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed the ride along.
Glad you enjoyed it. We hope to capture more footage from the Mid Atlantic states later this year.
I've done this drive many a time. Fantastic to do it again!
Glad you enjoyed it. The mountains in that are beautiful. We hope to return to get more footage soon.
Thanks!
Many thanks!
Another fine drive! Two lanes, curves and hills. Just what the doctor ordered. Very enjoyable video.
The mountains and valleys that run in parallel in the Alleghenys make for some interesting scenery.
Thanks!
Many thanks again!
Now wish I would have watched this video sooner. Great video. Is Historic Route 30 really this narrow or is that appearance caused by the camera lens? I thought I saw what looked like major potholes. Is that the case?
That section of old U.S. 30 is not well maintained. It is only used now as an access road for farms along the Umatilla River. It is not as rough as the Ridge Road in California, but not a whole lot better.
