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!
Cool !!! Love to go there !!!!
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!
92 went there..April it was slow..
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.
this rides gotta be one of the best.
Bravo.
"Back roads, small towns, that's how we travel." And we appreciate it!
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.
Your comment didn't get the heart sign to show appreciation from the youtuber. Maybe the US doesn't like the French that much.🤣
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.
🙋♀️Hello Russ! Sure was a perfect picture postcard day. Not even a cloud in the sky. It was fun to see all the excitement people have when they see the Donkeys. They are adorable. I think they thrive for the attention. One of the main attractions next to the Gunslingers. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day. This was a really nice day for riding the scenic route to Klingman.👍
OOPS! I meant Kingman.
We've been to Oatman a number of times. The simulated bank robbery and western gun fight was great and also remarkable how much money it generated to go to charity. Great restaurant too.
That was awesome Russ, thank you very much
I could travel with on video all day long. I love them. I don't like to see them end.
thank you
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. 👍🏻❤️🙏
Did that on my motorcycle two years ago. Wild burros ain’t wild they got all the angles figured out!
Thx Russ, Arizona has a National Treasure: YOU❤‼️ It was wonderful meeting you this year and we are heading back to Canada via this Route 66hwy - we are 36 feet long😂‼️😆AND I've been careful as to how many rocks are loaded/stashed in the trailer.😂🙋♀️🛻🇨🇦❤️‼️👍 YOU ARE TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL❤‼️
Thank you
Once again " Hopalong Russ" has taken us on a "Back to the Future Adventure" of the old Rt 66. Thanks again Russ!! 👍👍🙋♂️
Thanks Russ. OATMAN is Really lovely town. Another my wish list.
awesomeness , best thing yet the Burros.
Thank you for this video of Oatman Arizona historic Route 66 and Burros.
Thanks for the 👍 great show! I lived in the area 12 years ago and haven't been back since. The 🏜 desert is so beautiful as well as those super blue skies! Your videos are awesome- thanks again!
This is my backyard, TOPOCK AZ, baby, love it!
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.
I ment to say about a mile back up the road from cool springs toward Oatman.
Been to Oatman twice, never get tired of Route 66. Nothing beats a desolate desert road.🌵☮️
its beautiful as heck! i can truly say the same! nothing !!! beats a desolate desert road. ima hang that phrase up in my house!
Beautiful places I enjoy too much. Thank you
Thank you so much. I'm sitting here in Sydney, Australia, and reminiscing about my time driving through Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona back in the early 90s. I didn't travel this route but loved the type of landscape and thoroughly enjoyed your quality video. Makes me want to come back. Cheers brother. (Great music btw)
Haven't been to Oatman for a while. Last time was in the dead of Summer, and crowds were pretty thin LOL. Burros were getting into the shops, and getting shooed away. Pure Arizona, right there.
Truly am enjoying this drive with you. Mostly only natives enjoy the sights of brown hills and scrub brush... I find it beautiful. Thank you for the trip...
Love Oatman!!! Last trip was June 2020. Thanks Russ. Love your videos 👍
Small towns and back roads…that’s how we roll. 😁
We've been there a few days ago! Greetings And love from Prague ❤️🇨🇿🇺🇸
keep up the mohave county videos! i love em! will be moving there soon after many years of vacationing there! im in awe
You do a great job Russ your post's keep me motivated to finally settle out west..thank you
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.
Thanks, How about doing this trip again when the flowers are out. Haven't been there since 93, and still miss the desert in bloom.
I lived in Oatman for 10 years in the 90s. The stories I could tell! Great time in my life, didn't make lots of money, but...the stories I could tell! LOL!
Having just visited Oatman, why oh why would you live there? The desert....the heat..lack of any basic stores
@@rodneybrown4304 Well, if I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand.
Enjoyed the ride with you today. It brought back pleasant memories. TFS 😎
ANOTHER great video RUSS---THANKYOU FOR THE RIDE---
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.
Loved the burros. It did seem like a lot of them. They looked healthy also. 💜
I live in the UK I can not travel and your fantastic. !!!
Bravo.
Raph..yes it's fun to ride along with Russ and it sure saves us on that high priced gas lol .. good luck to you across the big pond .. God Bless
Very cool, reminds me of the hwy 60 going up through globe and the road going to jerome
Ha, we were at Oatman last year at this time. My wife opened the door of my truck to get something from the backseat and a burro made a beeline towards the truck and grabbed a bag of chips from inside and took off with it. Pretty funny to see.
Wow, Russ! Compared to your video(s) from last year this place was bustling, like Midtown Manhattan. And at least half the people pictured apparently have no idea what a sidewalk is for--just like those in Midtown Manhattan.
14:08 Pullout for the fish pond.
I remember as a young kid, coming from Illinois to CA. On hiway 66 and going thru Oatman. Thanks 👍😊
Hi Russ,
I bet you would have loved to take a buggy ride in the “dusty nugget” out in that area.
Once again outstanding upload.
Cheers,
Thanks for sharing. I bet those burrows love fries and chips. Great job, that is now on my bucket list.
I was there couple years ago when me, my dad, uncle and couple of cousins were driving the route 66. Such a cool and historic place.
Wow Russ compared to other videos last this one is beautiful I hope you are being safe with the virus the new virus is in California and New York stay safe out there from quartzite
In the 1970’s my husband and I trucked on 66 on way from south Arkansas to Los Angeles. We drove on Route 66 while watching I-40 being built.
I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
thank you
Wow!!!Wow!!! I love Route 66 and Oatman….I love this scenic route!!!!! Thanks Russ!!!
Love it
My wife and I rode our Indian up through Oatman in 2018 and spent the better part of a day there. Best bike trip ever! From Vancouver island, Canada. Love the history and the community.
Love Oatman ! I live about 20 miles away , so when I get company we go to Oatman.
I love the donkey photos!!
Love this place.we did route 66 from Chicago to California..
I always enjoy Oatman!!
Love to see those burros so cute
Aqui no Brasil esses animais são chamados de jumentos os burros são maiores
Been on 66 to Oatman a few times. Great ride!
Great video. Love those burros and your drone shots!!
Thanks for the video!!!
Fantastic Ride! Thank You! I've been down this road years ago and it was such a pleasure going down it again with you!! 🤗❤️
Too Kool for school haven't heard that in many years thank you Russ regards Dock form Down under Australia...out of lock-down and freedoms back..
Interesting a very long trip to the west. Thanks for Sharing.
Great Video Sir!!! The American Southwest IS Truly Beautiful, I Can See How You Could Get Lost In Time If You Stayed There Long Enough!!!
Thanks at all for memories..........
Been theough the area many times. Never got to meet any of our burro friends though.
Hey Russ!!! The "BURROs" "RULE"!!!
Bravo.
Thanks. Many a fond memories.
Good video. Planning on visiting Oatman next week and looking forward to the drive already.
Great Video. I love seeing Arizona .
That trip thru Oatman brought back such great memories on that road. Excellent vid, thanks Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
ENJOYED! Thanks Russ.
Great post Sir!!!
Your one hell of a cheerful guy, I’m subbed
We actually went that route 3 times in the same day in October!! Visiting burro sanctuaries!! I had to go back to Oatman to shop and see the town herd in person!!😉❤️
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.
Loved this tour of this awesome town with the burros. Actually loved the whole video from start to finish.
Traveling through Oatman once walking along by Hotel stated, Clark Gable spent one of his Honeymoons there. We even toured the Room.
Bring carrots for the burros!
Love when Russ Da Man takes us to Oatman.... How's that electric bike working for ya?
Awesome tour Russ, love to travel along the Route 66 through Arizona someday soon!!!
Will be doing that drive ( and a bunch of 66 from Tulsa west) in October! Really looking forward to it! Will make sure we have some carrots on board for the Burros!
This will be about a third of the way through our 14,000 km road trip this fall to celebrate my wifes retirement on Oct 6! 😂
Mike & Ally
love this town
I am so excited to see these places in person!

I love Oatman! Been there twice. Can't wait to go back.
Wow great video and such memories! While staying in Vegas 20 years ago we rented a car and drove this road and went to Oatman and Kingman. Loved it!! Hope to one day do a much longer road trip on rt 66.
Cool video Russ. Larry and Carrie from Kingman 😃👍🤠
Living in New Mexico currently, this is so fun!!!
Thank you for this I will never be able to go because I’m afraid of heights so I lived vicariously through you on this trip
Passed through there last Monday taking 66 through from Kingman.
Nice video! Of course I'm a sucker for anything with animals! Lol. Thanks. Now I want to go to that little town and the Cool Springs stop.
Virginia Beach in the house 🏡 thank you for all the Visual journeys
thanks Uncle Roscoe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took this route to Oatman and I rushed it, I wish I had had more time, I didn't even get out of my car....guess I have a reason to go back, I took rte 66 from just n of lake havasu city and then onto all those rte 66 towns on the way to Flagstaff.
Beautiful day to wander outside. That town reminds me of movie set/location of Shanghai Noon. Wishing desert gets showers help out the flora & fauna take care out there
If you are going back to Ca via the I-40 make sure to fill up in Boulder across from Needles with gas. we barely made it to Barstow, the head wind sucked the gas right out of the car.
Oh no you forgot to mention that Oatmen has wild west gun show
Next time in Las Vegas I am coming down to Oatman.
hi russ happy easter to you stay safe and well on your travels tom protzman wisconsin.
