    Went to Six Flags Missouri years ago and we rode the skylift, a week after we got home, the cable had broken and the cars fell. I so enjoyed the Caverns ,WagonWheel and all your stops. It is so much fun!! Thank you

    The Wagon Wheel motel looks so nice. When you think of the history there and all the travellers exploring Route 66 that stayed there, its great you got a room for the night. Cheers

    Glad you got to experience the iconic Ted Drews Frozen Custard. We lived in the northern part of St. Louis County so we went to Iggy's Frozen Custard which was located Florissant MO where we lived at the time. Nice to see Six Flags again. The little motel was adorable!

    I would absolutely stay at the Wagon Wheel! How cool to see their neon sign at night. Cheers and safe travels. I wonder if anyone famous stayed in room #11.

    I'am with you Will.I love all the old neon signs. Since it is on Route 66 some of the places could be bought and redone to have the past not die. It's sad. Oh by the the Wagon Wheel hotel is wonderful. It reminds me of some of the hotels that we stayed in when I was a child.❤

    I'm a Missouri girl and enjoyed seeing the sites that I used to see as I traveled the "Mother Road." My job during high school was working at the gift shop at Meramec Caverns.

    I watched all of these vlogs before when they actually aired however, it’s fun to go back and watch them again. I have lived around 66 nearly all of my life. I’ve been to these places, The Coral motel that you were at in St. Louis was a famous place for gangsters to hide up with their mistresses.

    if you wanted to see the Clydesdales you should have driven by Grants Farm just a short detour off 66. They have the horses outside you could have seen. Great job on Missouri cant's wait to see what else you show.

    When you were at the wayside motel across the road would have been Coral Court Motel. It has a great history as a no tell motel. It also had a roll in the Kidnapping of Bobby Greenlease. Ted Drews was not busy. There are times when the parking lot is filled and people have the sidewalk packed. it is cool to drive down 66 at night to see all the neon lights.

    Your videos are pretty entertaining and informative. In 2021 I drove Route 66 from Santa MOnica to St. Louis, but I missed out on a lot due to driving way too many hours per day, and not knowing many places are closed on Sundays or Mondays.
    In just a few weeks, I am starting a trip from Joplin MO, to Chicago, to A) make it to the end and B) see and do some of the stuff we missed out on due to my poor planning.
    I made a series of videos on my channel that covered all that I did. I want to make the trip again and take more time to see more. Oklahoma had way more to do that I expected. I am really looking forward to Route 66 Pt. deux: Unfinished Business.

    Budweiser tour is really good. Too bad they were closed to the public. Motorcourts??? New one on me. Pretty cool! Went to Six Flags on my senior trip in HS. Bought a hat that I still have. That was 47 years ago. As a kid, I am pretty sure we went to Meramec Caverns. Speaking of, you should check out Mamouth Cave in KY. It is awesome. They have a lodge right on site. Good for you guys! Doing all of this while you're still young. To Great Adventures my Yankee Friends, who also live in the South!
