    I wish that Route 66 had not been Decommissioned, it was such a scenic., relaxed highway to travel on.

    I rode old hwy 66 June 1955 on my motorcycle, with it's Whiting Bros gas stations, Indian Trading post, enjoyed the trip and still like reading my trip log/diary.

    I used to drive OL' 66 starting back in the '50's ! It was/still is a fantastic scenic road. Even stopped somewhere along the way todo some horseback riding in the mountains.

    Russ at time marker 16:02 look to the left there is a set of old steps. Take those old steps up about 50 feet and you will find a small pool with goldfish in it known as Shaffer Springs. Next time you are in the area film it, it would make a good video.

    Nice video Russ. I have a picture of me standing in the middle of route 66 at Cool Springs enjoying the 120 degree August 2009 heat. me, my wife, daughter and son in law were on a Harley vacation. There was no one else there and they had a barking guard dog recording in the gas station, haha.

    I made this exact drive in August of 2019. It was a great experience finally driving a section of route 66, but it was scary as hell once we got up to Sitgreaves pass. One thing I’ll remember as long as I live is that I passed a corvette coming back down the pass, in my VW Jetta. As scared as I was and slow as I drove, this lady driving a vette was practically crawling back down the pass and I passed her in maybe 3rd gear.

    I’m afraid of heights, and I drove that road from Kingman to Oatman a few years back and it was so scary I swore I’d never drive it again! Thanks for filming it so that I could see it again without being terrified! LOL! It’s a beautiful drive for sure! And Oatman is a really fun place too!

    An older friend I had years ago (died 1992) started driving for Greyhound in 1951 (the year before Sitgreaves Pass was bypassed) & he said it was tricky for large trucks and buses to slowly go downhill without smoking their brakes and a number of large trucks were lost due to brake failure.

    My son and I have watched your videos for weeks. We love them. On Rt. 66 I went to California and saw the BermaShave signs. They were blue and white then, (58 years ago) Also I saw black rabbits positioned on the distant mountains for miles. I must have seen 20 or more over a few hundred mile stretch. Finally we saw a restaurant called the Black Rabbit. I never forgot. Did you happened to see any or maybe they've fallen by now. Just thought I'd share that with you, plus a baby rattler in a caged box somewhere along the way. A neat joke. Will be watching.

    Hi Russ! We REALLY love your videos. We are going to travel along Route 66. You are using a drone and we're wondering if we (Dutch people) can fly a drone in the US. Of course, not in a city, probably a Nation Park, near military terrains etc. We have a drone with a weight les dan 250 grams (about 0.55 pounds).
