Yep! We’re still watching you two! 😍🇦🇺
Seems like a reasonable use of your time 😉
You're not alone!! 🤣🤣🤣
yep! ❤ me too! 🇦🇺
“Those roads provided breath-taking views. There's something special about an empty road going on and on and on to the horizon where the sun burns the world away into a dancing, shimmering heat haze that reflects the crystal blue sky, literally blurring the line between heaven and earth.” - Dave Gorman
Not sure what you were looking at but 'murica hasn't given me anything stunning so far. Just all looks drab, boring and downright depressing - absolutely zilch to make me want to go there... 😕
foot long chili dogs - my favorite vegetable
Tia for scale 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
many commentators here appear to be Australians.
(who just want to talk about Australia!!!).
So? They spent many months in Australia and got a lot of fans
Hi from Aus, wow guys, that petrified forrest, just wow.. “such a fine site to see”
As an Aussie, I’ve done various road trips around America and they are fantastic, I did one through Arizona, Nevada and Utah, staying in Navajo Nation, seeing the national parks and attractions of the states and it was memorable, something I’ll never forget 👍
I think you are right ,a lot of that country does look like outback Australia ,to me its very similar to near Winton Queensland.
We hear you, red rocks and green plants with the occasional water hole oasis's is as intimidating as it is pure beauty. You guys really do need to finish the lap. From the Kimberley to the Gasgoyne down the Coral coast is as every bit as brutal as it is stunning, you gotta do it.
Hello from Perth , Western Australia, still watching 🤪
Aussie here 🦘 Really enjoying your travels.
Metric conversions, it really helps !! 👍👍😁😊
If only Tia appears in future videos, we'll know he tried to scare her, and she took him out... 😂😂😂
Hehe 😎
😂..I thought the same thing 🤣
Now he's haunting the hotel as well. Living the dream.
@@dragonzord6615 😂
7:03
If I ever reach the Continental Divide....I will raise my hands and yell "The Continental Divide!!!" in honor of Tia !!! 🤣
I hope you send a video!
The desert park with the gorgeous rock colours and petrified tree trunks was astounding! Yep big wide country like Australia. Wishing you well from OZ ❤
Loved the landscape on this episode. Guys please come back to Aus and do The Kimberley and The Ningaloo, you will be blown away by their beauty ❤❤
Another great video guys and I'm so jealous you stood on the corner of Winslow , Arizona having seen The Eagles twice! Petrified Forest was amazing :) Again the extra camera placements and drone work ..nice !! Question: When doing drone overheads of your vehicle moving is the drone being operated whilst you are in the car or is one of your driving away etc...? Route 66 is standing up nicely and the towns are looking as I had imagined. Happy Trails :)
Hey! Whomever is in the passenger seat will pilot the drone in those shots.
I am amazed at the miles long trains that appear in the background early on in the video.... they are insanely LOOONNG !!
The landscapes are stunning. Great photography & drone work. 😊 Love the banter, too 😉
Don't forget, as with virtually all of the Eagles biggest hits, Take it Easy was originated and co written with someone else; in this case with Jackson Browne. 😊
Ok, I've gotta know -how tall is Tia?
20:50 I'm pretty sure that's a flat bed Ford. If we could have gotten Tia behind the wheel, the lyric "there's a girl my Lord in a flat bed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me" would have worked out for Cheveryo 🤣
Fun fact: the original town in the song was Flagstaff but it didn’t sound right so he changed it to Winslow.
I keep thinking you're on the wrong side of the road. I'm used to seeing you in Australia. 😊
I'm from southern California and I grew up thinking the desert was not pretty at all. I changed my mind the first time I drove cross-country and saw part of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. Gorgeous!
Did you turn right at Alberquee (?) like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck didn’t?
Hi Guys, I love your videos but I was disappointed that you rarely ate at Australian restaurants because you feared the prices would be very high. In watching your trip across the US you are eating at every food outlet you come across. What I have noticed is the prices you are paying appear to be much higher than similar meals in Australia. I think you missed some great food in OZ.
Yeah, same in NZ - which is weird, because our restaurants aren't as pricey, and for great food - not just big plates of fried 'things', or just too much - portion sizes in the states are insane, and it's either really bad for you (in my partners case, who eats it *all), or it's just a waste (I eat about a quarter). Plus, the price is all you pay - no tips! 😕 This hasn't changed my mind that the states are very* low on my travel destinations - sorry guys; still love your videos and will continue to watch as long as you make them ❤
You're missing out if the US isn't on your travel list. There's a lot wrong with the place, but the natural beauty of the landscape isn't one of those things.
I'm Australian and have been to NZ multiple times, but nothing in either country compares to the landscapes of places like Yosemite national park and monument valley.
American food is so cheap that’s why, unhealthy but cheap.
@tbillington I'm actually moving to Canada to be with my partner, so I suppose I'll go to the states at some stage. Each to their own, I guess, but so much of the states is just depressing, and I am still blown away by my own country's scenery.
@@trudimclaren4301 Yes, no tax or tips added to the price you see advertised in most countries.
Waiting your video on youtube every day. Still follow you two, Thanks a lot...
hey guys have you ever wondered why......................native americans and oz natives drew the same images, yikes.................funny not too the same dream catchers, food for thought?
At 15:20, the red scenery looked like Central Australia.
I have to say when you were in New Mexico, the geography reminded me so much of outback Australia. I love following you guys.
Wow, you went through some really amazing scenery on this part of your journey...yes, some of it looks very similar to parts of our (Australia's) red centre and the Kimberley's.
Your continental divide at 7200ft is almost as high as Kosciusko, our highest mountain, which you most memorably walked up.😅
Arizona is amazing indeed. Truly wonderful scenery....and that petrified forest, mind boggling!
BTW guys, I want to apologise for my comment after your last video, it got a bit pointed and political and I have deleted it.....but I will now skirt controversy by posting this link showing the song Hotel California's true origins (written years before HC): th-cam.com/video/oGvux7w1Ea4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0exFvY4rDmgddd_a 😉
Very correct about the red escarpments in the continental divide. As soon as I looked at the view I saw our magnificent Kimberley here in Aus!
There are petroglyphs in the Pilbara that are thousands of years old. You have to come back 🙂
May and June is the best time, and of course see the whale sharks in Exmouth.
Arizona is more like the Pilbara then the Kimberly. You're right, the Kimberly is much wetter, it's a savanah tropical climate, it rains in feet in the wet season. And the humidity is off the charts with the oven desert, emwitj oven like desert heat smacking into it from the Pilbara mixing with the tropics.
Hey, if you want to keep your TH-cam channel and the earnings you get from it... Better Call Saul!
yes two vids in a week awesome hope the trip is really fun also great earrings
At 7200 ft, the elevation of the continental divide is the same as the peak of Kosciusko in Australia.
I've been on a holiday of my own the last three weeks or so and I couldn't wait to get back and start catching up with your videos...they bring such a smile to my face...generally several times at least through each one. I'm a desert lover also and so really liked what you showed in this vid.
Cheveyo is right ... I have been told by an "expert" that ... a clean car is a happy car, and we all know a happy car is a fast car! 😉🙃
I really love the slow pace of stopping and having a look at a seemingly not grand tourist attraction, but a lot of historic places. I would never have looked up a vlog about Route 66 on my own; I started watching during your vlogmas-series and got hooked.
That cargo train filled with Amazon cars is amazing in a sad capitalism kind of way.
I really enjoy watching you Guy’s 🎉
I love you 😍
Wow, the petrified forest was out of this world.😍Enjoy ALL yr vids!! Love from Oz.
Just stayed in Sedona for a few days. Thought of you guys. Loved the red rocks, hiking, and sitting by Oak Creek!
Think you have a few Aussies watching mate lol
Also, what an absolute boss Donald is. That's so kind!
Very kind man 😊
Did you see Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck sitting on a deck char. Daffy Duck holding a sign Miami Beach or bust?
I was SO waiting for Tia or Cheveyo to bust out a mention of “Alba-Koykee” in honour of Bugs…
He always took the wrong turn there.
I’ll be watching you 😊😂🎉
Yep, this Australian is still watching ☺
Keep up the good work and take it easy ✌️
Where in USA is coffee as good as Australia?
In both countries, it really comes down to the individual coffeehouse. I sometimes get the impression many Australians think all Americans get their coffee from Starbucks or McCafe, and that's not really the case. Thousands of small speciality coffeehouses all over the country, particularly on or near the coasts. The coffee culture in Portland or Seattle for example is just as vibrant and developed as the one in Melbourne.
It's just the human tendency to view all things 'other' as a monolith really.
You're headed in the right direction. But you haven't hit the MOST want to see: Sitgreaves Pass between Kingman and Oatman. Just sayin'.
Can’t argue with that
Great video as usual. So confusing reading a map when it says route 66 is road number 40. Dunno why it's so hard to get jerky in Oz.
Yea the further West you go, the more R66 is more or less just I40.
As an Australian who grew up in the US, it makes me sad to see how it is now. This whole series is pretty depressing.
…the food is a good distraction 😂
To be fair, Route 66 is known for being exceptionally desolate/abandoned 😅
Driving through Western Queensland recently in Australia gives the same vibe. Small towns are dying unfortunately and it is a tad depressing
Greets from Finland! Digging your journey. Budville Trading Co. stop kinda gave me the movie ’The Hills Have Eyes’ vibes.. in a good way..if possible :) Anyway, keep on trucking ♥️
Jerky is definitely the best road trip snack!
I think most people know Route 66 from the song originally written by Nat King Cole, with the King Cole Trio, first recorded the song in 1946. But about 1961 Chuck Berry rock it up and I think that version cemented the song and of course that wonderful road through the USA. I travelled the whole length of 66 back in 1984 and that song was going around in my head the whole way.
It’s so much fun watching you guys doing route 66.
I recently got back from the US after doing the Santa Monica to Flagstaff section. There was so much cool stuff to see staying off the I40 interstate as much as I could. I hope you’ll check out Amboy and the Amboy volcanic crater field. And get the clam chowder at the Ludlow cafe. It will be interesting to see what places you stop at which I may have seen. And I hope you can stay at the Wigwam motel in San Bernardino.
Happy and safe travels to you both.
did bugs bunny ever get to Albuquerque and why did he want to go there ,is that where they grow carrots
Bugs was always travelling through on his way to somewhere else. Whenever he found that he was not where he intended to be, he would exclaim, "I should've turned left at Albuquerque!"
@@keilorca oh right I remember now
I agree with you about deserts, beautiful and fascinating. And not just like the Kimberley, but a lot of outback Oz
On your Aussie trip you would likely have seen Great Dividing Range signs. That's our equivalent of the Continental Divide except its closer to the Pacific, running in roughly a huge J from near the Grampians, skirting just north of Melbourne, through the Snowy Mountains, Goulburn, Blue Mountains and right up to far North Queensland (north of Cairns). You crossed it a number of times on your trip, often without realising 😉
Well, now I have that Eagles song in my head, and it's all your fault 😂 I enjoyed the landscapes in this video - similar to some parts of central Australia, but different too.
That's the only place I went to in US, Arizona. I stopped at LAX and Denver airports... but flew into Tucson to visit a friend. My first tourist visit was to the Sonora Desert Museum. I visited Flagstaff, flew over the grand canyon, visited Phoenix, visited Tombstone. I went to Mexico for a day. Boy that was in my early 20's and I'm now in my 50's. I'm in Perth WA. I'd love to go back to US, but my health isn't good. There's probably no chance of me travelling again I think. I love watching you guys travel the globe.
Really enjoying this series - it’s been quite the interesting education!
In Aus jerky is readily available and we have a variety of interesting flavour options - especially in the Northern Territory - Buffalo, Emu, Crocodile, Camel and Kangaroo!
Love the Eagles and ‘Take It Easy’ is a favourite so it was awesome you stopped at Winslow!
Nice to see you excited and proud about your home state!
Interesting fact - Route 66 is only just slightly longer in distance at 3940 kms than Sydney to Perth at 3934.4 kms
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see:
it's a girl, my Lord, in a flat bed Ford
slowin' down to take a look at me.
Come on, baby, don't say maybe.
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again.
So open up, I'm climbin' in, and take it easy.
Loved Sedona when we visited. Such a lovely setting and great little shops. Came home to Oz with a handmade glass saguaro cactus. That red rock country is so beautiful.
The petrified forest is wonderful !
Great episode, thanks
10:00 Continental divide 2194m, Mt Kosciuszko 2228m. A bit different in the weather at that elevation this time 😉 (but still no socks!)
Beautiful scenery in Arizona. I must agree with Tia about the the thought of the pertified trees being around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. It is mind boggling to think about that.
After so long, I'm sure it feel great to be back in familiar territory. Travel safe ❤
I love the Southwest so much, it's so beautiful! You guys should go to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, I feel like you would love it! Namibia definitely has Arizona vibes in many parts. Plus Cheveyo will love biltong I am sure lol.
Totally agree with what you say. I did RT66 in a tiny British open top classic car, 2 years ago over 7 weeks, Arizona totally wonderful. If you can only do a short bit of Rt 66 has to be Kingman to Needles going over the Oatman pass would be my must do. But so much else too that is wonderful in AZ
Loved your video all the best Johnny 👍
Very interesting vlog. Surprised at how similar parts of the landscape are to Australia. The petrified forest is amazing. You have every right to be biased about your home turf.
What's the highway speed limit? There must be a whole lot of charging of batteries going on is that little car! 🙂AU
All my grandparents were born before the hotel was built in Flagstaff. I'm getting old.
Ovigy
I was about to ask you how does this desert region compare to your outback desert travels in Australia, then you said it’s very similar to the Kimberleys. Awesome!
Arizona , the home of winding canyons and meanderin rivers , superb vid , Thank you
The world tourist has spoken, " really well preserved gas stations" has to be the best line ever used by Tia. ROFL. Can't wait for the next video
I quite like Arizona as well. Perhaps one day you can show us some of the vortex areas or do some ufo hunting or both 👽
Thank you for sharing.
The next time your in Gallup- go up to Window Rock and Fort Defiance- I believe you would enjoy the sidetrip!
Dutch flag with OPEN @ 20.40 😱🤯 Greetings from Amsterdam
I stayed there too!! Parked our Mustang out front. Was so cool. Love the videos team.
Your coffees might be big, but I guarantee there's the same if not less actual coffee in there than an proper NZ coffee - my partner had to buy a nespresso machine when I was last in Canada (coffees the same as US) - otherwise all you get is coloured water 🙄
Yay! Tia for Scale at 19:56 but rather than a 10 I must downgrade you to a 9 since there were several things in the scene such as the red ford pickup to use for scale. Of course, Tia is more interesting. Loved the video!
There are so many national parks in that part of the country, you might get a year pass. About $90, so if you do 4 parks, it's more than paid for.
Next video use Depeche Mode’s Route 66. Who cares about monetization!!
It is more like the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Beautiful
Yes, very similar to the northern section. And the painted desert part to an area of the same name near Coober Pedy.
@@Wdeane1957 That is also a beautiful area
You guys are awesome
I bet if I loaned my car to Cheveyo it would come back in better condition than it started 🚙🛠🤩
Great video and thanks for introducing me to the music artists you used in this video. 👍🏻
Mentioning lawyers in the ABQ...... would watch the shit out of " BETTER CALL CHEVEYO "
All I could think of and look for was a "Better Call Saul" billboard.
Is Better Call Saul pretty good? I think Breaking Bad was excellent but never got around to watching the follow up.
@OnePackWanderers Yes, Better Call Saul is excellent.
Although it is a prequel to Breaking Bad, it develops the main characters and enables an understanding of their roles in Breaking Bad.
Some episodes initially may seem a little slow, but everything comes together once you get further into it.
@@OnePackWanderers Much like BB, starts slowly and then picks up the pace. Worth watching for Rhea seehorn playing " Kim Wexler " alone - Well worth the watch if you find the time
Six hours to pack one back pack ?
No 😂 30 minutes x 14 days = 7 hours.
Do you miss Blueberry? Thecar you had in Australia?
Yes 😊
What's the name for the present car? Could name it Raspberry 😊
19:20 You should be standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, and Tia is such a fine sight to see! 🙃
Videos getting better! Epsecially the audio :)
“Maybe good is a stretch…..” a very long stretch 😂😂😂😂
Enjoying riding along with you 😊 and have named your car yet 😊
Hi Guys … you didn’t find any beef jerky in Vietnam 🇻🇳? I’m surprised. It’s sold every where in our country and it’s cheap too 😎. Next time try it when you’re both here!
We found a lot of beef and pork floss! But did not notice any jerky. We’ll keep our eyes open for it next time 🙂
My sister was married in Flagstaff Arizona!
Did you remember to take a left turn at Albuquerque?
Meteor Crater. First time I saw that was in the movie Starman starring Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges, 1984. Thirteen years before Tia was born. God now I'm dating myself.
Yeah it doesn't seem like that long ago we were taking a similar drive in a rental from Vegas (including dipping into Mexico) then when Tia said she was born in 1997, was like oh my where is time going?
Thats BS 8:12 in the Kimberleys its that dry even the water is dehydrated mate
Depends on the time of year right? The Kimberleys were annoyingly flooded last time we were in the area, and I was under the impression that happens most years?
@@OnePackWanderers Yeah sorry about that Mick left the tap on and we'll you know what happened...Bloody Mick
