You're doing the most comprehensive and detailed Route 66 video log ever done. You're stopping at places within a hundred miles of us that we've yet to visit :)
Nothing stops you and Jax. Love it!!! Planning my travels really soon....thanks for the inspiration.
I love old abandoned buildings,.makes me sad, what once was is now gone..
You're wind muffler worked great and the audio was very good for the conditions you were in. So many other tubers doing what you are doing make little effort to address wind noise they just apologize and say sorry. Thanks for caring about your audience.
I love being able to follow along on your journey. I love seeing Jax, along with seeing the road and you.Great video. Sorry you are sick. I hope you get better soon. 💙
Thanks Eric for exploring all these old places!
I've traveled IH40 a bunch over the years, seen those places, never able to stop being a trucker.
Sad to see the old tourist traps dissapearing one by one. Nobody stops anymore, they never see them, they're too busy looking at their phones rushing down the highway.
jax is so smart---that cat talks. erics saying i hope this isnt contagious and pets jax, and jax says right.
feel better, rest, enjoy Jax time
Lots of cool stuff here. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for taking us along.
In '63 on my way out to California, I was on route 66. Some of I-40 was open, but not much. I actually stopped at Twin Arrows, which back then was a vibrant business. My how things have changed. Thanks for sharing the memories and your videos are really sharp and color fantastic. Your camera is doing a great job.
Glad you are doing a Route 66 trip, I wanted to do it "some day". But at age 74 it's not likely to happen for me, so I am enjoying it through your video eyes.
Yes but rusty does it.. but he has for awhile
Cool Explore Eric! Thank you!
Thanks for taking us back to Two Arrows. last year on our way to Burning Man we drove through there....
Jax was like "meow, don't touch me, can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?" Lol.
Thanks again, for lots of interesting POI's. We hope you recover quickly from the cold.
I sure hope you feel better soon..really enjoy your videos.
Yay! New video to watch while I eat breakfast. Safe travels - I hope you feel better by now!
Some great finds.
Lovely to see Jax 😍
Hope your feeling better soon.
Tfs & safe travels 🚙
the wind sock did good. I would not expect to not be able to hear any wind. so hearing it in the background did not over power your voice at all. goal achieved
I was camping in Show Low, a few hundred miles south, when you recorded this. In one day, we had those same high winds, driving rain, sleet and snow! Builds character.
7:49 I think those were cages for a mountain lion exhibit.
A roadside zoo. It was almost as depressing back when it was in operation as it is today.
I know about budgets and all, but it may be time to consider seeing a "doc" with that cold.. Love you guys,,, travel safe!!!!!
John Greer he should go to an urgent care and get a chest xray something seems more then a normal cold.....no fever and dry unproductive cough may be a sign of pulmonary edema going on which can occur when u go up in altitude
Lol at 9:20 Jax is like "Lemme sleep!"
Same thing my cat does haha.
Keep honey on hand. That helps with the cough. Take care. Hope you feel better soon.
It's sad the abandoned places, it was someone's dream at one time in the past. Interesting video.
GOOD MORNING BEAST NOMADIC FANTASTIC ERIC JAX TH-cam VIDEO 🐈🐈
Interesting ruins & abandoned buildings. Great vid again. I could tell Jaxman didn't like the gutsy wind. Take care of that cold, hope you feel better.🤧
that place would be a great lace for a wind farm!
Mix honey & lemmon juice in a cup of water and drink daily as much as you want to build up your immune system & hopefully cough will stop. Also at night rub some Vicks on bottom of feet & put socks on to help ease the cough.
Thanks for another terrific adventure Eric.... looking forward to your next
Good Rt 66 video even fighting wind and illness. I wonder what these places were like in their prime, Hello to Catman Jax.
I hope that you feel better soon my friend. Safe travels to you and Jax.
Hope you get well soon. Fun following your travels.
I love your cat he's so adorable!
Top of the Morning to you.. I found you the other day in my travels in youtube and am glad I subscribed.. My kitty "Muchi" and I are sitting here together enjoying the sites.. I always wanted to do a Route 66 trek and I appreciate what you're doing and how often you stop.. Thanks!
woohooo i love the twin arrows , used to pass it all the time when dad and i would go on vaca for hunting, shooting and fishing trips!!!
Dude, blowing off the meteor crater??? That's the best one!
Wow. That song at the start brought back memories.
your mic worked like a champ in that wind! great vid.
Thankx for the interesting visit to my home state of AZ. We always fly right past the land marks off the I 40.
Meteor City is at the mouth of one of the roads going back to the Meteor Crater you skipped. You were right about the gift shop. I remember parking out front back when they was still open for business.
I hope you are feeling better. I have been sick for a week with something. I recently got back in contact with a friend who is living in his car in Texas. I sent him some videos from TH-cam. You, Bob, and the ladies. He says Thank you so helpful.
I have been on Route 66 several times with my family (before I-40 was put in place) and one of the most abundant souvenir/gas stops was "whiting Brothers". These gas stations had all sorts of "tourist" type of attractions and each one was different...I remember one such gas station had a concrete pit full of rattlesnakes another had teepees you could walk in and around. Since I-40 I haven't been on Route 66 in 55 years...please report any sightings of anything that might have "Whiting Brothers" signage on it, it would be a real memory refresher for me. On another note, you might want to see a Doctor if this cold continues... Take care of yourself, I enjoy your travels and the videos of the many places you visit.
get some tumeric gel caps...also pic up some ginger root(1inch), lemon slices add to any tea brew on stove
That two gun's station would make a VERY COOL glass fronted house.
Eric as you get closer to Santa Fe, I recommend stopping at Bonanza Creek Ranch. Tons of Old West movies are filmed there. Just call them for a tour, my wife and I did and it was just us two alone on the tour.
Hi E hi JAX, thanks for the videos. They help pick me up when down
Loved the video, Eric. It's fun to see such interesting abandoned buildings up close. Glad you got out of that smelly room with all the insulation and stuff hanging from the rafters. Probably full of bacteria and heaven knows what else. "If you can smell it, you're breathing it in."
Keep pushing fluids, and give Jax a pat from us, here. :)
Two Guns died because someone with three guns showed up!
Now that's funny.
Ha-ha! You said that line from Ace Ventura....but I'm older than you and your remark sounded like a line from the 1960s StarTrek when the Doctor, Leonard "Bones" McCoy would address the Captain Kirk "Jim" and say similar, memorable things.
Love your videos on Route 66!
Hope you're feeling better soon!
I love the movie references. To continue the Jim Carrey theme, Eric has some things in common with Truman Burbank from The Truman Show, namely his great attitude, and the audience living vicariously through his daily life.
Actually I hit the road as much as I can...and I'm road tripping this spring and summer all over. A month ago I went to Yosemite which was mind boggling beautiful due to all the rain, snow melt which has given us gorgeous waterfalls every where...and then last week I was at Jenkinson Lake up in Pollack Pines...so nice.
I've also driven down Route 66 long time ago and it was very cool...So yeah, I'm diggin Eric's journey, but I'm journeying a lot myself. ;-)
noelle agape t
@@bf110c4 i have to agree with that.
Wow!! Feel better soon!! xoxo Jax
Meteor Crator is pretty cool, especially when I'd seen pictures of it in a book since I was little. They have some neat space suits and stuff too.
Lol on the star trek/ace ventura remark ...yes we drove that route a few times now and there's something new or real old to see every time...easy to miss...nice job as usual
Great video man!
HALLS for your cough help ;) "Hey Jax!"
Great job on the audio. Videos are still wonderful. Get well soon.
8:50 reminds me of Living Free
I'm loving the new dashboard Jax-cam!
Did 66 back in the early 50's I remember this place back in it's hayday.....
Don Remley o
Ace Ventura? "For Gods sake Jim, I'm a Dr. not a ________ ________ ________,"!! Is originally from Dr. Leonard Bones McCoy, on the Star Trek sagas from the 60's!! Way before ace ventura!
thanks for clearing that up! damn young kids!!!!!
Thanks. Now we know what channel NOT to subscribe to....Hawk's Adventure Vlogs :-)
Hawk Eric's quote was accurate. He quoted Jim Carrey in Ace Venture: Pet Detective. Carrey's quote referenced Star Trek, as pretty much everyone in the solar system knows. Of course, some fucktards may be unfamiliar with Carrey's reference. Looks like you missed that one. Attacking Eric for being wrong when you were wrong makes you a what? Go ahead, use your own word.
I probably like you as much as most people on here. With a wit like yours, who wouldn't like you? (Not a rhetorical question.)
I think he is one of a kind......thankfully lol
Eric, I am recuperating from pneumonia, which started with a cold like yours. It is pretty bad here in Missouri. This is one the flu shot missed. You need to get some antibiotics in you from an Urgent Care or whatever your insurance will pay for. Take care.🌡💉💊
wow😱😱 that looks like a ghost town.!! be careful Eric.
I get anxious now watching people in the desert going into abandoned buildings after watching Dan Bell with the killer bees, so please be very careful.
Worried about nasty snakes also!
We are really enjoying your Route 66 Videos. We have never been to that part of the country, hope to go someday. Thanks for sharing. Hug Jax for us!
in the last clip, it looks like Jax has gotten slimmer!!
Very good vid., Eric. You negotiated the wind well to show some very interesting sights and in spite of being sick. I really appreciate the extra effort. ---Papa Dale
If you haven't already, please get thee to the nearest emergicare, my friend. Your health is worth it.
My wife and I got married in 1975 and we took a trip to New Mexico to visit my dad. We stopped at the meteor city trading post and may have bought a trinket or two! Also visited the meteor crater. I feel your pain, had a similar cold this year too.
Very interesting ruins.
For sore throat, gargle with hot water and salt, twice a day. For all over achy feeling, mix the juice of a lemon, cut up lemon rind, and 3-5 tablespoons of honey in 5 cups of water. Gently boil for 5 minutes. Take out lemon rind to avoid bitterness. Store in refrigerator. Heat and drink a cup of warm mixture everyday until gone. Helps rid chest of cold
Get Well, it's going to be a tough one to recover from if it gets much worse!
I love old abandoned places, but be really careful. Get well soon.
This always works for me for cough or sinus issues. At bedtime rub some warm Vicks Menthol ointment on your chest. To melt it put some on a metal spoon and light the bottom of spoon.
Hey Eric, I am sorry you were not feeling well in this video but I sure enjoyed watching it. I just started watching you a few days ago and I am riding the "Mother Road" with you. My wife and I have traveled Route 66 in Ill, Mo, and Kan. We hope to do Oklahoma one day. Thanks for allowing me hitch a ride with you (and Jax of course). PS - I love the GPS links. I look up a bunch of your stops in Google Maps!
I enjoyed the video. I hope someday to travel Route 66 and you stop and explore places my husband would not stop at. So thank you for stopping and checking them out. I know you delay the release of your videos but if you still have that cough after 7-10 days then you don't have a cold and you NEED to go to a doctor.
Looks like I gotta cruise thru and skate a bit. Great vid again.
good job erick, love the videos, i travel thru you
Cold sucks. Hope you get better from a cold. Hi, Mr. Jax for me. ^_^
Eric! There is a HUGE difference between ART and Vandalism!
Please feel better soon! Might see a doctor as the "creeping crud" is going around..... with no fever but definitely lung problems. It stayed in my chest for over a month!! You could see if an antibiotic might work. Hi to Jax!!
Aww...Jax is just like my cats, they Hate the wind! Feel Better Soon Eic! Generic Tylenol cold and rest helped me. Peace out rikki
Great video Eric !! Such interesting stuff, thanks for the great work... as always, you never disappoint !! Love having my coffee with you and Jax, wish it was in person :) Hope you get to feeling better soon. Love You Guys !!!
I hear Payson is quite a popular little town.
great video. Put some vicks salve on your feet and it is suppossed to stop a cough. Take care.
That cracked old bridge you didn't want to drive on is the old Route 66. And those animal cages were an old mountain lion attraction.
WE APPRECIATE THE GPS CODES FOR ALL YOUR TRAVELS, INCLUDING DUMP STATIONS ALONG THE WAY, YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB, YOU NEED A TRAVEL STATION TO PICK UP YOUR RV TRAVELS FOR A TV SERIES!....LOOK INTO IT~
I love Abandoned stuff! :)
All I could think of while you were in that old, rotting building was snakes. I would have been afraid to walk around in there.
Gas station-Conoco is Con-ah-co. Long o at the end. lol. Man, that cold sounds nasty. Take care. Good that you stayed in this spot for a couple of days, just to get some rest. Loved all the ruins.
Time for that chest X-Ray Eric. Bad, lingering, dry cough.
Took me longer than usual to go through that video because I had to posit to try and find photos of the original structures. I found some good ones of most of the places including an interior shot of Meteor City. I couldn't find any original shots of 2 Guns Kamp. To me, that's was interesting: comparing the current condition to the way the place originally was. Hope you're feeling better by now.
Question for you Eric, who is going to take care of Jax while your in the Hospital ? That cold has gone on long enough and for you to still have a sore throat is not a normal cold. You need to see someone who can legally put MD after their signature. Please go so we can continue to see your videos and most of all for Jax and yourself. Thank you
Debbie Snowden exactly,u r right I agree.
jewl of the Nile jewl of the Nile Thank you, I really hope he goes.
Bard To Death it's scary, when he said he still has a sore throat, well that shouldn't be. It's been too many days. He needs a throat culture to check for strep. He's going to end up in the hospital if he doesn't get checked out. He needs some meds. Jax would probably end up in an SPCA. How sad.... I have no idea of their laws if a situation would occur where the owner couldn't care for him due to a temporary illness. I wish him the best.
Haha Eric. I love that opening. Yes, it was adapted for Ace Ventura from the original Star Trek series. If you ever get as far east as Iowa, check out the town of Riverside. It is the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk and each year they have a huge festival called Trekfest. It's a lot of fun. You can just google Trekfest for more info. You can even have a beer at the future site of the shipyard bar and see the pool table under which Kirk was supposedly conceived.
Rest up. Thanks for the video.
EPIC VIDEO! Love Rout 66. Hope you get better. =D
the sound was great the tepees looked like they weathered well
I drove a1959 hillman minx from Edwards AFB TO CONYERS GA in 1966..I wish they had dashcams..😁
Just noticed that Jax has thumbs!
Always such interesting videos. wow windy and sick at least there's air for breathing such as it is with your cold or possibly a flue. So sorry Eric your so sick. Rest
once you've seen 1 crater, etc., etc.
good find on the world's largest DreamCatcher.
Clean your aircon both cars and RV section. A fungues that lives in aircon can make you feel like that
P.S.- If you get to the Quad Cities (Davenport,IA/Bettendorf,IA./Moline, IL/ Rock Island, IL.) in June or July, we would love to take you to River Fest. It is a series of outdoor concerts. (Blues Travelor has been there). There are plenty of places to camp along the Mississippi River. and historic sites to see. In Dubuque, Iowa (90 miles North), there is an indoor waterpark and a Mississippi River Museum too. We are 3 hours from Chicago. You need to see it!!! Just saying...
Small world...The Mrs. and I are originally from the Q.C.
