This is arguably the most detailed experience of Route 66 that I’ve found on KZclip! I live in Northern California and am trying to convince my wife to take a two-week vacation, rent a car, then make that trip from Santa Monica to Chicago. The food stops look amazing; I can tell your dad didn’t care for Bagdad Cafe but I definitely bookmarked Butcher BBQ in Oklahoma. And those museums; I want to check ‘em all out! But overall, amazing video!!
Seems as though there's a reoccurring theme at all the stops: not open on Monday Tuesday's, closed for renovations, not open because of tornado damage, flood damage, fire damage, closed at five o clock, owner out sick, on vacation , had to take dog to vet, on and on.
There seems to be a reoccurring theme: half of the stops got some kind of glitch: closed due to flooding, a tornado came through so it's in repair, the owner doesn't open on Monday and Tuesday, it's closed on holidays, happen to be a power outage, the owners wife just had surgery and he's at the hospital, they had some of the most interesting and odd awesome statues, so much nostalgia and all the history and tales, the amazing varieties of food, eateries just amazing, the ghost towns that the interstate put out of business.
You two are an absolute gem for folks that lack the means or ability to travel and see the beautiful country. I spent many, many days and nights traversing the scenic routes and historic by-ways of the mid Atlantic states, including Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina with my grandparents in the eighties and nineties, as a youth. What great times we had, exploring, enjoying each other's company, rarely with any preconceived final destination declared or expected. We saw cities and suburbs...mountains and valleys....from the tiniest farms to bustling cities! I learned a great deal about wealth and poverty ( My grandparents were from rural West Virginia, but had settled in the suburbs of Washington DC. My grandfather becoming a DC firefighter and my grandmother a banker, defeating their own struggles)...about struggles, both financial and cultural. That time spent with my loved ones is time I'll cherish forever. Bravo gentlemen, what wholesome, all-American fun!!
Oh my! Came across you channel today, I am a woman of 72 in Australia and probably will never experience this wonderful trip in my lifetime, so thank you so much for this wonderful journey, the food, the different architecture and history. So well presented and so very interesting.. I felt like I was on the journey with you.. brilliant. Thank you so very much for the history and all the great stops and museums. I am so very grateful for you taking the time. My granddaughter did a semester at Oklahoma University and after that she did some travelling around to Washington DC and New York and she absolutely loved it, before returning back home to Australia. Many thanks for this lovely adventure via Route 66. God Bless.
In 1960-1962 our family made the trip over Route 66 several times when my parents were moving from Chicago to Los Angeles. Each trip was epic for me and my brother. We got to see it in its heyday. I saw several motels we stayed in that are in ruins now. I am so glad I was able to experience as a child before they dismantled it. I hope it comes back in all its glory someday.
This has got to be one of the most informative videos on Route 66. Not only do you show the various sites but you tell the audience what to look for, interesting historical facts and just basic information for folks who may want to visit in the future. This is extremely valuable!
@EarthSurferUSA My friends decided to drive to St. Louis for their honeymoon. The bride sat in the car while the groom got out of the car to gas the vehicle. The voice of that attendant came over the intercom telling him to "...get back in the vehicle, now !.". The couple watched in horror as two gangs clashed all around them. They were able to drive away. They saw the Botanical Gardens and headed home early !.
Thanks man. I did the same tour with my dad in 2012. It is one of the best memories with my dad. I had tears in my eyes watching your video. Thank you very much.
Covid (and Big Brother) has kept my family of four stuck here in Japan for almost 3 years now. It's been great to travel around the States with you and "Pops"! Thanks for taking us along on your journeys! We watched the national park trip in Utah first-- very beautiful and enjoyable! We appreciate your detailed and relevant dialogue, and your Pop's witty feedback (with his Christopher Lee--like voice). We've subscribed and are looking forward to watching more of your videos! Eric in Japan (originally from Oregon)
All your videos are great. You and your dad are wonderful travel guides. Doing Route 66 this late spring. You need to come to Oregon and Washington and check out our wonderful parks and towns .
I m an INDIAN and have explored USA by road in very detailed almost all states, I had planned to drive through ROUTE 66 many time but never resulted yet, but after watching your video I can say ‘IF YOU HAVE NOT DRIVEN THROUGH ROUTE 66 FROM START POINT TO END POINT, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN USA”. One of the best travel video I have seen. Your this video is a great service to travel lovers. May God Bless UNCLE and YOU. 10 out of 10.
I now spend my Saturday afternoons with you and your Dad; absolutely love your videos. I'm a native Los Angeleno, born in 1949. I've never had an opportunity to drive historical Route 66 myself. But I sure loved this virtual tour with you. I've also enjoyed your Utah national parks video and Alaska. I've eaten at "The Hat", but now I'm craving the peach donut at The Donut Man. Your videos bring me so much enjoyment. Thank you
it's a great thing that you and your Father traveled together and shared all the experiences that go with it. not many father/son duos would do such. a good thing to see & experience vicariously.. *thank you*
By far, the best Route 66 video guide on KZclip. Thank you Josh and "Pops" for compiling this information and footage. In the description you wrote that you wanted to encourage others to make this trip. Mission accomplished. I just finished Route 66 with my wife in May. It has been our favorite trip so far. We tried to stop at most of the places shown in your video. One place we loved that was not in your video is the Route 66 Museum in Ash Fork, AZ. It was one of the best stops on the entire route because unlike other museums where you cannot touch anything, this one is completely interactive. The kind and helpful staff encourage visitors to touch everything to get the full experience of their museum. Also one of the best parts of doing Route 66 is meeting up with other travelers on the Route. It's awesome how you keep running into the same people day after day all because we watched your video and stop at the same places.
Hello from New Zealand guys, that's 'the bomb' road trip fella's, truly iconic, enjoyed every min of you're 15 day excursion, had hoped to make the journey myself to your Great Country and Route 66 in my youth but life got in the way, unfortunately ill health prevents me from fulfilling that amazing journey in my twilight years so am truly grateful to have accompanied you and your pops as seen thru you're eyes, thanks a million.
I've watched your travel videos numerous times. I just love them and find them so relaxing! They help anxiety. You and pops are the best. Thanks, Josh!
While quarantined, our family has been looking for fun, virtual "trips" online, and came across your video. We watched every minute of it, and loved it! We felt like we'd traveled Route 66, thanks to this wonderful summary. Great job!!
A big thank you to both of you for this video. I always wanted to do an American road trip and Route 66 was top of my list. Back in September/October I finally did it. Your video was a huge influence in me actually going through with it. It was also a massive help when I was there. I stayed in a lot of the hotels that you recommended and they were all great. I've been watching some of your other videos and Utah might be my next destination. All great viewing. Massive thanks from Wales. :)
@Karen Wills Hi Karen. Thanks for your reply. Good to see you have Welsh ancestry. And I certainly hope you get to achieve that particular bucket list item some day. Let me know if you plan to go ahead and do it. If I can help in any way, I will certainly try my best. My next US road trip will be in April. Hoping to get California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona covered. Again, Through My Lens has been a massive influence in choosing those states. I certainly plan to do the east part of Route 66 again some day. That's where tiredness started to set in and I missed some of the things I'd planned. And I was unlucky to get to Chicago on the day of the Chicago Marathon! So that city is yet to be explored by me!
Mark my family has lived on Route 66, 100 miles south of Chicago since 1880 - actually before it was designated 66 it was route 4. It made the trip to Chicago so fast, we went a couple times a month.Being ‘from’ Route 66 has always been a great sourse of pride for my family. We made many trips out West, also, zig zagging to see more sights, but catching 66 for several stretches. The American West is a must see. We would love to see you here! Your comment caught my attention, also, because my family (Parry & Dunn) came from Wales in the early 1800s. Your country is on top of my bucket list! I hope to see you there someday. Please come visit!
I grew up in Okc and lived around Tulsa but landed in the Sapulpa area. I have driven 66 many times and live off it. Thank you for showing our part of 66 in such a positive light. From Tulsa to Okc there are many wonderful and historic places that are adored and cared for.
I was raised in Needles, CA and seeing this is just incredible. For as short of a stop as it was, I could remember being in marching band and marching down broadway, past the old Burger place. I remembered going to el garces just to hang out in the middle of the night, or crossing the train tracks to get to and from wherever I was going. That town is so small you can walk the whole thing in a couple of hours if you know where the trails are. Wouldn't move back, but man it was a crazy time.
Also don't even know if you realized when you drove near the bridge to get into AZ< you also looked at a local spot, the rope swing. Some brave souls repelled down (and a couple others climbed up later on when needed to be replaced) and put a rope around the bridge truss. You can grab the rope, take it to the shore and swing pretty far out into the water. It's my understanding on the other side of that in Topock AZ they also built a new resort/fuel station. It used to just be a restaurant, and a boat fill up, now it's a full on hotel with boat docks and everything.
My son and I watched this video several times before talking our own Rt. 66 trip from Tulsa to Santa Monica. We’ve watched it several times since we got back as well. Great job with the video capturing so many of the highlights and giving great ideas for stops. You asked the question if “Sids “ in El Reno was worth the stop? ABSOLUTELY! Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had in my life time and a great atmosphere. We’re looking forward to another trip.
Y’all did a fabulous job. I always wanted to take this exact same trip, and makes me want to even more when I saw all your great stops! I live in Oklahoma now so I can at least see the ones in my new home state! Thanks….. I’m definitely subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your trips! Your Dad was a great companion.. so glad you had this time together, making wonderful memories! 👏👏👏👏💜🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video! As a kid in the 60's & 70's, every summer my family would drive Rt. 66 from the L.A. area to Chicago, so I was able to experience the Mother Road before its decline. In 2015, after purchasing a tool truck in Norman, OK, I opted to drive home in San Diego via Rt. 66. It was sad to see much of the Route abandoned, much of nothing more than concrete slabs where motels and gas stations once stood. 3 Years later I left California and moved to Kingman, AZ, living just 2 blocks from Rt. 66 and right off the Old Trails Road. If you ever get the chance, while in Kingman take 4th street (where the train station is) and cross the tracks. that street will turn into Old Trails Rd. which as you know was the precursor to Rt.66. It's only about 3 miles long and dead ends, but takes you thru Railroad Canyon where Walt Disney got the idea for the train ride at Disneyland. Mr. D's cafe... you were wondering about it, Mr. D's is the Mr. Dunton who owns the classic car dealership next door. A typical tourist trap, they do have good food and they make their own Root Beer which is amazing.
This was amazing. 2 non-stop hours of sites. Wow, what a fantastic compilation, I truly don’t know how anyone could make a better and more comprehensive Rt66 video.
My son and I watched this video several times before taking our own Rt. 66 trip from Tulsa to Santa Monica. We’ve watched it several times since we got back as well. Great job with the video capturing so many of the highlights and giving great ideas for stops. You asked the question if “Sids “ in El Reno was worth the stop? ABSOLUTELY!

Fell asleep watching this (NOT BC IT WAS BORING BUT BC IM SUPER SICK RIGHT NOW) and this was the most peaceful beautiful dream I ever had! Felt like I was on the trip with you guys! This is going to be an amazing memory to look back on and think about the time spent with your dad! (Gonna watch it again now that I’m awake.) lol.
I absolutely enjoyed this video! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops: the dining, lodging, museums, natural beauty, and detailed commentary. I took a lot of road trips in my childhood, and this video brought back some wonderful nostalgic feelings. Kudos to you and your dad.
Great video!!! What an informative and interesting trip. I think it was so special that you and your dad did this together!! You did a magnificent job for all of us to enjoy and see what we never might have been able to see or experience. Thank you 😃
Trapped at home due to a virus, but yet able to travel Route 66 with this man and his father! Superb job of videos put together with charm and good natured fun. You, sir, and your father are amazing, thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!
Say a prayer for Route 66 and all the businesses along the way. Hoping that they can remain open through this damned pandemic. I really want to go back through Route 66 one more time before My own life ends. I'll be 71 in Dec. I'd like to go with my wife, but if she won't go ,I'll be going by myself.Just to experience it again one more time may just keep me alive a while longer.
I love this trip through Route 66. I felt like I was there. I learned a lot thank you for sharing these videos. You and your dad are awesome. It's nice to see all these beautiful videos!
This brings back so many memories from traveling Rt 66 as a child. We drove all the way from NH to California twice in the early 70's. Route 66 was something special. The Jack Rabbit signs stand out as something very intriguing as a child. I kept wondering, when are we going to get there!!! My mom still has a sombrero we purchased at the store. How I wish I could go back in time and ride that route all over again, sitting between my parents. They are truly some of the best memories I have with my family.
Just finished watching this, it’s awesome! If you are looking to see and travel the original route and see some of the “ghost town” areas of Route 66, you will not be disappointed. I have many ancestors who travelled on Route 66, so the “pioneer” aspect is important to me. Thank you for your coverage of Barstow, CA, where I lived from 1955 to 1967. My dad worked for Santa Fe RR for 30 years. Our family drove many times from Barstow to Oklahoma on Route 66.
Thank you for this opportunity to ride along with you and your dad on this trip. My husband and I were married in Los Angeles in 1968 and he was in the army and stationed in Virginia. We drove at night on Route 66 and I fell in love with the billboards for the souvenir shops and museums, but especially the neon sign for the Blue Swallow motel. The most beautiful sight was to see the sunrise over the Painted Desert. THAT was awesome! In 1993 we decided to make a road trip to Washington DC and take our sweet time stopping at all the sights on Route 66 on the way back. So from Missouri back to LA we stopped at every little museum and shop that caught our eyes. We stayed in Williams, Arizona and took the old train to the Grand Canyon. We got to meet so many great people. In Seligman we met a group of men who had come from Germany and had rented motorcycles to make the trip from Chicago to Santa Monica. They had dressed just like Marlon Brando in the Wild Ones! Again, thanks for the ride and the memories.
I have no clue how this video made it into my queue but honestly Ive been stuck on watching your trip and blew off 2 hours worth of errands because I just couldn't wait to see what was next! Your video was so well done, so incredibly informative that honestly I'm slightly shocked that this isnt a Travel Channel special! I never wanted to do this trip but after watching this video I believe its is a must!! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us and for putting all the work you did into it. This was a joy to watch and you and your dad are byfar the very coolest travel guides Ive ever had!! You've got a new Sub in me!!
*THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU WILL EVER READ:* ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH FEAR, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LONELINESS, HATE, RESENTMENT, ANGER, LUST, SEXUAL PERVERSION OR ADDICTIONS? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS IN A BOTTLE, IN DRUGS, IN ENTERTAINMENT, IN A CAREER, IN MONEY & MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, IN SPORTS, IN STRANGE MEN/WOMEN, IN ADDICTIONS, IN NEW AGE PRACTICES, ETC? DO THEY EVER FILL YOU OR DO YOU JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT FIX OR THE NEXT THING? THERE IS A CREATION SO WE KNOW THERE IS A CREATOR. YOU DIDN'T COME FROM NOTHING & YOU WEREN'T CREATED FOR NO REASON. YOUR LIFE HAS A PURPOSE AND YOU ARE LOVED & VALUED BY GOD! YOU WERE CREATED TO LOVE & SERVE GOD AND TO LOVE & SERVE OTHERS! YOU SEE WHEN GOD CREATED US HE LEFT A HOLE IN US THAT CAN ONLY BE FILLED BY HIM! THIS IS WHY SO MANY THAT HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT SUCCESS IN THE WORLD ARE STILL MISERABLE & DEPRESSED. IT JUST LEAVES THEM LONGING FOR MORE & WONDERING WHY THAT DIDN'T FIX THE BROKENNESS IN THEM. WHY DO SO MANY RICH PEOPLE & CELEBRITIES DRINK/DRUG THEMSELVES TO DEATH? GOD DESIRES FOR YOU TO KNOW HIM AS A FATHER, A BEST FRIEND, A PROTECTOR, A PROVIDER, A REFUGE. HE WANTS TO BE MASTER & LORD OF YOUR LIFE, HE WANTS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR. HE WANTS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, LIKE A FATHER & SON/DAUGHTER! HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER CAN BECAUSE HE IS LIMITLESS! HE'S ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL, ALL SEEING! JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! TOTAL SEPARATION FROM GOD & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! THESE ARE END TIMES: THE VACCINES & BOOSTERS ARE POISON & MANY WILL DIE FROM THEM! THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS NEXT AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT IT! EVENTUALLY YOU WILL BE FORCED TO GET IT OR BE KILLED! EVERYTHING GOING ON IS TALKED ABOUT IN THE BIBLE BUT IT WILL GET FAR WORSE THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY. YOUR ONLY HOPE IS CHRIST! HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE OR ENDURE WHAT'S TO COME! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT TO HIM! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Hollie Wood Yes it looks Stunning, beautiful part of the world to live, and I guess close enough to be near those cities like LA should you want to go, and places like Palm Springs. Im not really a city type of person, I like to go to them now and again but smaller towns are more my cup of tea. And the people seem friendlier in smaller places, then again the Americans treat me like I’m Jon Bon Jovi wherever I seem to go.
Hollie Wood I will do .....I think I’ve heard of it, when I was visiting friends in Wyoming in 2017 I had a online friend in California who lived near a large lake but that was in the north, not fare from the Oregon border.
I love that y'all are honest about the disappointments on the trip too, mostly lots of closings lol. We've kinda developed a culture here nowadays that is just fine with businesses being closed in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, or roads being closed with no timeframes for reopening, etc.
Welcome to the anti-free market decline of the USA. We gave our wealth making opportunity, or free enterprise that we built as free people, to communist china starting 44 years ago,-and this is the result, and actually called "progress" in our schools. Ya know, if you and I thought about doing business with each other, and while trying to make a deal one of us was not going to make money doing it, it would be "no deal". What we are living through is our elected, giving our liberty and free enterprise that people with individual liberty created in the first place, to communism,--and they are not compatible because communism does not respect individual liberty at all. As the results prove, no economist was right.
Wow...just stumbled upon your channel. How fun. Great job with the filming and the narration. Really great to see a father and son take a trip together and have so much fun. Thanks for sharing.Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
You did an amazing job with the video. I live in central North Carolina, and took a road trip many years ago to CA. Saw a few of those things along the way, but missed so many. I'm nearly 46 now, and will probably never go back out there again. Those were two well-spent hours watching this video. My dad passed away when I was 20 years old at age 48. So nice to see your dad along for the ride with you. Those are times and miles that you'll never regret sharing with him. I look forward to checking out your other videos. God bless you and your family.
Fantastic journey of Route 66, filmed just for us to view. Your narration is great, very engaging, and you make it fun! Your Dad and you looked like you had a trip of a lifetime. We are in Australia, & in Covid-19 lockdown again, and although I have travelled through USA, I haven't done Route 66. So I feel like I was doing the trip with you. Thanks so much for your efforts. It was amazing.
even as a yank, it was kind of refreshing to see some spots I kind of knew, thru different eyes. and now I have some places to check out, along old 66 in inland-empire LA metro that is not really that far from where we retired. I think my domestic partner would like those, since she is a total foodie and a fan of guy fieri
I have dreamt of taking my kids across the country. I have muscular dystrophy and sadly it doesn’t look like it’s in my future. We are at home right now watching your video. The relationship you have with your dad is so touching. Thank you from the bottom my heart for this informative video. I never know God‘s plan, I pray to make this journey one day, but for now thank you for allowing me to travel route 66 from my bed. I God bless you as you have blessed our lives. As a single mom, of three special needs children, this was my dream, you fulfilled it for all of us. We have lived vicariously through you and your beautiful dad. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
This came up as a random suggested video. As a former carny, fellow traveler, and wanderluster, I appreciate the effort made in the video. Glad to see the time spent with your dad, what a great trip!
Hey, Guys! Great adventure you’ve made. I’ve put it in my bucket list. Two years from now, I’ll be 66. I hope I am healthy enough to celebrate my birthday traveling coast to coast on route 66. Thanks for sharing that amazing experience with us. God bless you guys!
My husband and I did this trip a few times before he past away so I got to visit and stay in a few of the places showed on this KZclip road trip.thank you for bring back some very fun memories ❤
Today is 1/31/2023. I just took 3 days to take this trip with you. It was so fun. I've been sick so this was my way of staying watched to the world. Thank you guys. ☺️♥️
I dream of doing this with my Dad like you both. He's part of the Illinois 66 association. He even hand lettered the Odell Service Station Roof 1:54:10 and made signs for the Mining Museum in Illinois. 1:55:33 Hope I can do this one day with him.
WOW!!! AWESOME & Great road trip!! I really enjoyed watching you and your Dad visit all the stops along Route 66 on your way to Chicago. I learned a lot about Route 66. I told my son that we MUST do this road trip!! THANK YOU for inspiring me and giving me great ideas on where to stop and stay. When we were in Arizona last year (August 2021) we visited Winslow and the Petrified Forest and saw the Route 66 memorabilia. After viewing your video, it has convinced me to go do the Route 66 road trip too. Yay!! Thanks for sharing with us your great and amazing adventure. I love your video series and look forward to more great videos of your adventures! Aloha & God Bless from Kapolei, Hawaii.
My family is pretty much a route 66 family. My grandparents met and married in Tucumcari, my dad was born in Albuquerque, I was born in Winslow and my sister was born in San Bernardino. We scattered my parents ashes in Flagstaf. Thanks for this video. It brought back a lot of memories.
Great job guys, lil envious to see you and your dad experience it together, my dad passed when I was 9...adding the end to end road trip to my bucket list with this as my guide...
I love watching you and your dad together ❤ hard to see people now who loves hanging out with their papa.. take care both of you. Hope your both doing great at this time of pandemic 😊
A great video compilation of Route 66, I give this an A, great job! Really good photography, narration, information, background music and taking the extra effort to see some of the sites that were off of the Route 66. It was nice to see a father and son travel this historic route together. I’m sorry to be devil’s advocate, there were a couple of items that were not correct. I lived in South Pasadena in the 60s and 70s and Pasadena in the 70s and 80s as well. The Rialto Theatre is in South Pasadena, CA not Pasadena and what you referred to as the Arroyo Seco Freeway (when I lived there it was called the Pasadena Freeway 11) it was built in 1933 (check the metal plate at the base of the bridge), not 1940 and it was the first freeway built in the U.S.; check the on ramps and off ramps, they are the original ones and were designed for the vehicles of 1933. The Colorado Boulevard bridge in Pasadena we used to call it “Suicide Bridge” this was just a nick name. Besides these items, this is an excellent and educational video, I did not know this history of all of these states on Route 66. By the way, a side note, some of the older gas pumps that said “ethyl” on them this word means tetra ethyl lead which was an anti-knock compound that the oil refineries added to their gasoline. Thank you for posting this great journey! Mike Zimmerman
That was a really nice video. So much history . And you got to spend 14days on the road seeing all the sites with your dad. That is priceless . Enjoy life and the people in it while they are with us. I have everything ,but would trade it all for one more day with my dad .
I agree. I lost my dad a year ago at the age of 90. Oh...to have one more fishing trip or hike or adventure..or a diner meal with him! Time spent with your loved ones is SO special!
So we did it. We took notes from your videos and made the trip. We were only able to go as far as Oaklahoma city from California, but dang did we have a good time. Good food, good laughs, good times. The whole trip was worth it. Thank you so much for your videos. Cant wait to watch more.
That’s so awesome you got this captured in film with your Dad! I miss road trips, takes me back to when I was in the states and did quite a few with my parents as a kid then as an adult. Brings back many memories. Thanks for sharing!
This father+son trip is so touching to me. I can tell you both really enjoy each other’s company and looks like you two had a great time! It’s awesome that y’all were able to do this last year. You both will cherish these memories forever. I hope you, your dad and the rest of your family are healthy and safe✌🏾 *Btw, great editing and knowledge on a lot of things!
You guys are just the best, informative and with infectious enthusiasm. I envy you your relationship together, it’s wonderful to witness. I’m in the process of watching all your videos and we are going on two road trips soon, Florida and then Yellowstone. Keep up your great work.
I was blessed to be able to travel Route 66 before the bypass and saw an almost intact trip. It was magical. Only went to Kansas though then drove back on the same route.
A fantastic road trip: Santa Monica Pier; Burma Shave; Service Stations; Petrified Forest; Will Rogers; Bass Shop; Blue Whale, etc. What makes this video perfect: Half of what you were looking for was closed, renovated, not open yet, unsafe, bad weather, no vacancy, etc. . . . which means there were so many surprise, unplanned stops, later / earlier pick up videos. It's all about "Getting Your Kicks on Route 66!"
This is so GREAT! And what a wonderful thing to be able to do this with your dad. My dad passed in 2007, but we did a cross-country sprint from Upland, CA to Barre, VT (so mostly route 40) and I loved it! We were racing bad weather and had to get me there to start a job, so we didn't get to do ALL of the fun things you two did...but cherish this time with your dad. It may never come again and I WISH I could have done this with mine.
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy all your videos. We just returned from a quick 4 day trip on Route 66 from Barstow to the Painted Desert and back again. We took many of your suggestions of things to see and do and it made for a wonderful trip. Of course, the highlight was Standin' on the corner (a bucket list item for me). We stayed at La Posada and really loved it. The hotel was beautiful and very quiet, other than the sound of trains going by. We had a wonderful dinner in the Turquoise Room. Thanks again for your wonderful content!
Can you believe that I just saw your documentary about Route 66. Yes! Documentary. Very well edited. We love it. My family were seating at the family room and nothing to watch in TV. So we came across your video. We enjoyed it so much. Love your enthusiasm, knowledge, and the pace. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences.
I really enjoyed this video, well done. Even more inspiring is that you did it with your father. Glad you’re able to do it together & that you have such a great father/son relationship. I miss my dad. He’s been gone many years now.
It warmed my heart to see father and son enjoy a little history together.... Lost both of my parents at a young age and always fantasized about the time and things I'd would have been able to do with my parents.
I have visited parts of Route 66 with my wife about 10 years ago, we started in Santa Monica. We met in San Francisco after she had been on a world trip for several months. I'd love to see all it all again (and eat your hot dogs). I wonder if I will get the chance to also do such a trip with my daughter in the far future. Really amazing video, stops, and dad! ;)
You are so detailed in your road trips! I love how you are making outstanding memories with your Pops! Your voice is so friendly and the background music is an excellent addition !! Thanx for allowing us to enjoy your travels!! Have fun!
What an epic adventure... thank you for shring and inspiring me to plan my own vacation down Rt66. I love that your dad is wearing a Canada Tshirt. I'm from Canada :)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, I was on route 66 as a child from start to finish with my mom. I am Glad to see it today hopefully we can travel it someday again. 🙏
This is wonderful, my partner & I live in England in the UK 🇬🇧 and we’ve always wanted to do this, we are living it vicariously through you and your Dads trip. Thanks for posting 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️ it lovely that you’re doing this with your Father, My Father passed some years ago but spending time like this with him would have been fantastic.
When things are safe please come do so! A lot of these places are both a little lost in time and in general small businesses so it helps these small town American communities a lot!
what a great father son experience I am in my 80's and it made me sad & nostalgic to see some of what used to be wish I could have done the same thing with one of my parents
I'm from Japan and a Big Fan of Route 66. Your Route 66 story is THE BEST in KZclip! I've already repeated viewing your story almost 30 times :-> Picture are sooo beautiful! And as other guys are saying "Father-and-Son Trip" is too fantastic!
I live basically around Joplin and Carthage Missouri. If you got any questions about the cultural significance or if there's anything to see, just ask.
I've been on route 66 in California and in Chicago but never came close to driving the whole thing. With that said, I'd much rather visit Japan!! We can trade 😅😅😅
I’m from USA and two of my top places to travel before I die are Route 66 - and Japan! You have some gorgeous features out there, can’t wait to see Mt. Fuji and the beautiful areas surrounding it, to visit an onsen, visit the ramen museum that has a replica of a midcentury Tokyo street, and so much more. Hope you can make it to Route 66 and happy travels!
Thanks Gents for a great video! One for repeated viewing. Iv'e only been to a few sections of Route 66 over the years, mostly in Illinois where I live.
I'm very disabled and won't ever travel. But I have had a great day traveling with you and your Dad today. Thanks for the trip!
I find it ironic that the most nostalgic route to the west coast is destined to be the escape route as well.

I’ve been on part of the Route 66. I’m old now but when I was still young enough to do this I wish I had done this with my daddy.
This is arguably the most detailed experience of Route 66 that I’ve found on KZclip! I live in Northern California and am trying to convince my wife to take a two-week vacation, rent a car, then make that trip from Santa Monica to Chicago. The food stops look amazing; I can tell your dad didn’t care for Bagdad Cafe but I definitely bookmarked Butcher BBQ in Oklahoma. And those museums; I want to check ‘em all out! But overall, amazing video!!
Seems as though
there's a reoccurring theme at all the stops: not open on Monday Tuesday's, closed for renovations, not open because of tornado damage, flood damage, fire damage, closed at five o clock, owner out sick, on vacation , had to take dog to vet, on and on.
yes make that road trip tell your wife if she wont cooperate she will be discarded
There seems to be a reoccurring theme: half of the stops got some kind of glitch: closed due to flooding, a tornado came through so it's in repair, the owner doesn't open on Monday and Tuesday, it's closed on holidays, happen to be a power outage, the owners wife just had surgery and he's at the hospital, they had some of the most interesting and odd awesome statues, so much nostalgia and all the history and tales, the amazing varieties of food, eateries just amazing, the ghost towns that the interstate put out of business.
Definitely hit the cowboy hall of fame museum in OKC….now known as National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
13 Million Views! What an awesome video and trip to take with your Dad. I really enjoyed it.
You two are an absolute gem for folks that lack the means or ability to travel and see the beautiful country. I spent many, many days and nights traversing the scenic routes and historic by-ways of the mid Atlantic states, including Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina with my grandparents in the eighties and nineties, as a youth. What great times we had, exploring, enjoying each other's company, rarely with any preconceived final destination declared or expected. We saw cities and suburbs...mountains and valleys....from the tiniest farms to bustling cities! I learned a great deal about wealth and poverty ( My grandparents were from rural West Virginia, but had settled in the suburbs of Washington DC. My grandfather becoming a DC firefighter and my grandmother a banker, defeating their own struggles)...about struggles, both financial and cultural. That time spent with my loved ones is time I'll cherish forever. Bravo gentlemen, what wholesome, all-American fun!!
Oh my! Came across you channel today, I am a woman of 72 in Australia and probably will never experience this wonderful trip in my lifetime, so thank you so much for this wonderful journey, the food, the different architecture and history. So well presented and so very interesting.. I felt like I was on the journey with you.. brilliant. Thank you so very much for the history and all the great stops and museums. I am so very grateful for you taking the time. My granddaughter did a semester at Oklahoma University and after that she did some travelling around to Washington DC and New York and she absolutely loved it, before returning back home to Australia. Many thanks for this lovely adventure via Route 66. God Bless.
God ALWAYS BLESS AUSTRAILIA!
Its very historic!
The road wey ran along most rail lines!
Its a beautifull ,roadwey!
It is part of our national psychee!
I loved watching your video journey on route 66. It was so fascinating to see all those awesome museums and fast food places.

In 1960-1962 our family made the trip over Route 66 several times when my parents were moving from Chicago to Los Angeles. Each trip was epic for me and my brother. We got to see it in its heyday. I saw several motels we stayed in that are in ruins now. I am so glad I was able to experience as a child before they dismantled it. I hope it comes back in all its glory someday.
This has got to be one of the most informative videos on Route 66. Not only do you show the various sites but you tell the audience what to look for, interesting historical facts and just basic information for folks who may want to visit in the future. This is extremely valuable!
@EarthSurferUSA My friends decided to drive to St. Louis for their honeymoon. The bride sat in the car while the groom got out of the car to gas the vehicle. The voice of that attendant came over the intercom telling him to "...get back in the vehicle, now !.". The couple watched in horror as two gangs clashed all around them. They were able to drive away. They saw the Botanical Gardens and headed home early !.
too informative.... it was actually annoying i stopped watching after the first 2 mins. -_-
@Shirley Funte 📃
I feel like I was on the trip with you! What a great trip to take with your Dad. It's nice to see a father & son such good friends. What a memory 💖
I really enjoyed your journey!!! Very informative and fun. It’s wonderful to see a father and son traveling together. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks man. I did the same tour with my dad in 2012. It is one of the best memories with my dad. I had tears in my eyes watching your video. Thank you very much.
Covid (and Big Brother) has kept my family of four stuck here in Japan for almost 3 years now. It's been great to travel around the States with you and "Pops"! Thanks for taking us along on your journeys! We watched the national park trip in Utah first-- very beautiful and enjoyable! We appreciate your detailed and relevant dialogue, and your Pop's witty feedback (with his Christopher Lee--like voice). We've subscribed and are looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Eric in Japan (originally from Oregon)
Sorry to hear still in Japan?
All your videos are great. You and your dad are wonderful travel guides. Doing Route 66 this late spring. You need to come to Oregon and Washington and check out our wonderful parks and towns .
I m an INDIAN and have explored USA by road in very detailed almost all states, I had planned to drive through ROUTE 66 many time but never resulted yet, but after watching your video I can say ‘IF YOU HAVE NOT DRIVEN THROUGH ROUTE 66 FROM START POINT TO END POINT, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN USA”. One of the best travel video I have seen. Your this video is a great service to travel lovers. May God Bless UNCLE and YOU. 10 out of 10.

@Twist of Fate 👍
@ABC I You gave genuine tribute to Route 66 by upgrading it to 67👍
I dared to make it 67 because I have faith the comment will eventually hit 77 likes!! Someone had to get the ball rolling.
I now spend my Saturday afternoons with you and your Dad; absolutely love your videos. I'm a native Los Angeleno, born in 1949. I've never had an opportunity to drive historical Route 66 myself. But I sure loved this virtual tour with you. I've also enjoyed your Utah national parks video and Alaska. I've eaten at "The Hat", but now I'm craving the peach donut at The Donut Man. Your videos bring me so much enjoyment. Thank you
it's a great thing that you and your Father traveled together and shared all the experiences that go with it. not many father/son duos would do such. a good thing to see & experience vicariously.. *thank you*
By far, the best Route 66 video guide on KZclip. Thank you Josh and "Pops" for compiling this information and footage. In the description you wrote that you wanted to encourage others to make this trip. Mission accomplished. I just finished Route 66 with my wife in May. It has been our favorite trip so far. We tried to stop at most of the places shown in your video. One place we loved that was not in your video is the Route 66 Museum in Ash Fork, AZ. It was one of the best stops on the entire route because unlike other museums where you cannot touch anything, this one is completely interactive. The kind and helpful staff encourage visitors to touch everything to get the full experience of their museum.
Also one of the best parts of doing Route 66 is meeting up with other travelers on the Route. It's awesome how you keep running into the same people day after day all because we watched your video and stop at the same places.
Hello from New Zealand guys, that's 'the bomb' road trip fella's, truly iconic, enjoyed every min of you're 15 day excursion, had hoped to make the journey myself to your Great Country and Route 66 in my youth but life got in the way, unfortunately ill health prevents me from fulfilling that amazing journey in my twilight years so am truly grateful to have accompanied you and your pops as seen thru you're eyes, thanks a million.
I've watched your travel videos numerous times. I just love them and find them so relaxing! They help anxiety. You and pops are the best. Thanks, Josh!
While quarantined, our family has been looking for fun, virtual "trips" online, and came across your video. We watched every minute of it, and loved it! We felt like we'd traveled Route 66, thanks to this wonderful summary. Great job!!
Very cool
Thanks guys! I have really enjoyed this trip.
🤣🤣🤣🤣what is life coming to
Me too

A big thank you to both of you for this video. I always wanted to do an American road trip and Route 66 was top of my list. Back in September/October I finally did it. Your video was a huge influence in me actually going through with it. It was also a massive help when I was there. I stayed in a lot of the hotels that you recommended and they were all great. I've been watching some of your other videos and Utah might be my next destination. All great viewing. Massive thanks from Wales. :)
@Karen Wills Hi Karen. Thanks for your reply. Good to see you have Welsh ancestry. And I certainly hope you get to achieve that particular bucket list item some day. Let me know if you plan to go ahead and do it. If I can help in any way, I will certainly try my best. My next US road trip will be in April. Hoping to get California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona covered. Again, Through My Lens has been a massive influence in choosing those states. I certainly plan to do the east part of Route 66 again some day. That's where tiredness started to set in and I missed some of the things I'd planned. And I was unlucky to get to Chicago on the day of the Chicago Marathon! So that city is yet to be explored by me!
Mark my family has lived on Route 66, 100 miles south of Chicago since 1880 - actually before it was designated 66 it was route 4. It made the trip to Chicago so fast, we went a couple times a month.Being ‘from’ Route 66 has always been a great sourse of pride for my family. We made many trips out West, also, zig zagging to see more sights, but catching 66 for several stretches. The American West is a must see. We would love to see you here! Your comment caught my attention, also, because my family (Parry & Dunn) came from Wales in the early 1800s. Your country is on top of my bucket list! I hope to see you there someday. Please come visit!
I grew up in Okc and lived around Tulsa but landed in the Sapulpa area. I have driven 66 many times and live off it. Thank you for showing our part of 66 in such a positive light. From Tulsa to Okc there are many wonderful and historic places that are adored and cared for.
I was raised in Needles, CA and seeing this is just incredible. For as short of a stop as it was, I could remember being in marching band and marching down broadway, past the old Burger place. I remembered going to el garces just to hang out in the middle of the night, or crossing the train tracks to get to and from wherever I was going. That town is so small you can walk the whole thing in a couple of hours if you know where the trails are. Wouldn't move back, but man it was a crazy time.
Also don't even know if you realized when you drove near the bridge to get into AZ< you also looked at a local spot, the rope swing. Some brave souls repelled down (and a couple others climbed up later on when needed to be replaced) and put a rope around the bridge truss. You can grab the rope, take it to the shore and swing pretty far out into the water. It's my understanding on the other side of that in Topock AZ they also built a new resort/fuel station. It used to just be a restaurant, and a boat fill up, now it's a full on hotel with boat docks and everything.
My son and I watched this video several times before talking our own Rt. 66 trip from Tulsa to Santa Monica. We’ve watched it several times since we got back as well. Great job with the video capturing so many of the highlights and giving great ideas for stops. You asked the question if “Sids “ in El Reno was worth the stop? ABSOLUTELY! Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had in my life time and a great atmosphere. We’re looking forward to another trip.
Y’all did a fabulous job. I always wanted to take this exact same trip, and makes me want to even more when I saw all your great stops! I live in Oklahoma now so I can at least see the ones in my new home state! Thanks….. I’m definitely subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your trips! Your Dad was a great companion.. so glad you had this time together, making wonderful memories! 👏👏👏👏💜🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video! As a kid in the 60's & 70's, every summer my family would drive Rt. 66 from the L.A. area to Chicago, so I was able to experience the Mother Road before its decline. In 2015, after purchasing a tool truck in Norman, OK, I opted to drive home in San Diego via Rt. 66. It was sad to see much of the Route abandoned, much of nothing more than concrete slabs where motels and gas stations once stood. 3 Years later I left California and moved to Kingman, AZ, living just 2 blocks from Rt. 66 and right off the Old Trails Road. If you ever get the chance, while in Kingman take 4th street (where the train station is) and cross the tracks. that street will turn into Old Trails Rd. which as you know was the precursor to Rt.66. It's only about 3 miles long and dead ends, but takes you thru Railroad Canyon where Walt Disney got the idea for the train ride at Disneyland. Mr. D's cafe... you were wondering about it, Mr. D's is the Mr. Dunton who owns the classic car dealership next door. A typical tourist trap, they do have good food and they make their own Root Beer which is amazing.
@Jeff great info and story! Thx for sharing.
This was amazing. 2 non-stop hours of sites. Wow, what a fantastic compilation, I truly don’t know how anyone could make a better and more comprehensive Rt66 video.
We must have been watching it at the same time Mike, I have 2 sons myself, and I would love to do this with them one day. Very well done!
My son and I watched this video several times before taking our own Rt. 66 trip from Tulsa to Santa Monica. We’ve watched it several times since we got back as well. Great job with the video capturing so many of the highlights and giving great ideas for stops. You asked the question if “Sids “ in El Reno was worth the stop? ABSOLUTELY!

Fell asleep watching this (NOT BC IT WAS BORING BUT BC IM SUPER SICK RIGHT NOW) and this was the most peaceful beautiful dream I ever had! Felt like I was on the trip with you guys! This is going to be an amazing memory to look back on and think about the time spent with your dad! (Gonna watch it again now that I’m awake.) lol.
I absolutely enjoyed this video! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops: the dining, lodging, museums, natural beauty, and detailed commentary. I took a lot of road trips in my childhood, and this video brought back some wonderful nostalgic feelings. Kudos to you and your dad.
Great video!!! What an informative and interesting trip. I think it was so special that you and your dad did this together!! You did a magnificent job for all of us to enjoy and see what we never might have been able to see or experience. Thank you 😃
Trapped at home due to a virus, but yet able to travel Route 66 with this man and his father!
Superb job of videos put together with charm and good natured fun.
You, sir, and your father are amazing, thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!
Say a prayer for Route 66 and all the businesses along the way. Hoping that they can remain open through this damned pandemic. I really want to go back through Route 66 one more time before My own life ends. I'll be 71 in Dec. I'd like to go with my wife, but if she won't go ,I'll be going by myself.Just to experience it again one more time may just keep me alive a while longer.
GB eep
Such a wonderful and realistic tour of Route 66. I almost feel like I actually made the trip myself from watching your video. Thank you!
I love this trip through Route 66. I felt like I was there. I learned a lot thank you for sharing these videos. You and your dad are awesome. It's nice to see all these beautiful videos!
This brings back so many memories from traveling Rt 66 as a child. We drove all the way from NH to California twice in the early 70's. Route 66 was something special. The Jack Rabbit signs stand out as something very intriguing as a child. I kept wondering, when are we going to get there!!! My mom still has a sombrero we purchased at the store. How I wish I could go back in time and ride that route all over again, sitting between my parents. They are truly some of the best memories I have with my family.
Just finished watching this, it’s awesome! If you are looking to see and travel the original route and see some of the “ghost town” areas of Route 66, you will not be disappointed. I have many ancestors who travelled on Route 66, so the “pioneer” aspect is important to me. Thank you for your coverage of Barstow, CA, where I lived from 1955 to 1967. My dad worked for Santa Fe RR for 30 years. Our family drove many times from Barstow to Oklahoma on Route 66.
Thank you for this opportunity to ride along with you and your dad on this trip.
My husband and I were married in Los Angeles in 1968 and he was in the army and stationed in Virginia. We drove at night on Route 66 and I fell in love with the billboards for the souvenir shops and museums, but especially the neon sign for the Blue Swallow motel. The most beautiful sight was to see the sunrise over the Painted Desert. THAT was awesome!
In 1993 we decided to make a road trip to Washington DC and take our sweet time stopping at all the sights on Route 66 on the way back. So from Missouri back to LA we stopped at every little museum and shop that caught our eyes. We stayed in Williams, Arizona and took the old train to the Grand Canyon. We got to meet so many great people.
In Seligman we met a group of men who had come from Germany and had rented motorcycles to make the trip from Chicago to Santa Monica. They had dressed just like Marlon Brando in the Wild Ones!
Again, thanks for the ride and the memories.
I have no clue how this video made it into my queue but honestly Ive been stuck on watching your trip and blew off 2 hours worth of errands because I just couldn't wait to see what was next! Your video was so well done, so incredibly informative that honestly I'm slightly shocked that this isnt a Travel Channel special! I never wanted to do this trip but after watching this video I believe its is a must!! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us and for putting all the work you did into it. This was a joy to watch and you and your dad are byfar the very coolest travel guides Ive ever had!! You've got a new Sub in me!!
*THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU WILL EVER READ:*
ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH FEAR, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LONELINESS, HATE, RESENTMENT, ANGER, LUST, SEXUAL PERVERSION OR ADDICTIONS?
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS IN A BOTTLE, IN DRUGS, IN ENTERTAINMENT, IN A CAREER, IN MONEY & MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, IN SPORTS, IN STRANGE MEN/WOMEN, IN ADDICTIONS, IN NEW AGE PRACTICES, ETC?
DO THEY EVER FILL YOU OR DO YOU JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT FIX OR THE NEXT THING?
THERE IS A CREATION SO WE KNOW THERE IS A CREATOR. YOU DIDN'T COME FROM NOTHING & YOU WEREN'T CREATED FOR NO REASON. YOUR LIFE HAS A PURPOSE AND YOU ARE LOVED & VALUED BY GOD! YOU WERE CREATED TO LOVE & SERVE GOD AND TO LOVE & SERVE OTHERS!
YOU SEE WHEN GOD CREATED US HE LEFT A HOLE IN US THAT CAN ONLY BE FILLED BY HIM! THIS IS WHY SO MANY THAT HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT SUCCESS IN THE WORLD ARE STILL MISERABLE & DEPRESSED. IT JUST LEAVES THEM LONGING FOR MORE & WONDERING WHY THAT DIDN'T FIX THE BROKENNESS IN THEM. WHY DO SO MANY RICH PEOPLE & CELEBRITIES DRINK/DRUG THEMSELVES TO DEATH?
GOD DESIRES FOR YOU TO KNOW HIM AS A FATHER, A BEST FRIEND, A PROTECTOR, A PROVIDER, A REFUGE. HE WANTS TO BE MASTER & LORD OF YOUR LIFE, HE WANTS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR. HE WANTS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, LIKE A FATHER & SON/DAUGHTER! HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER CAN BECAUSE HE IS LIMITLESS! HE'S ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL, ALL SEEING!
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! TOTAL SEPARATION FROM GOD & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
THESE ARE END TIMES: THE VACCINES & BOOSTERS ARE POISON & MANY WILL DIE FROM THEM! THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS NEXT AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT IT! EVENTUALLY YOU WILL BE FORCED TO GET IT OR BE KILLED! EVERYTHING GOING ON IS TALKED ABOUT IN THE BIBLE BUT IT WILL GET FAR WORSE THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY. YOUR ONLY HOPE IS CHRIST! HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE OR ENDURE WHAT'S TO COME!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT TO HIM!

I don't know how it got in my queue either, but it was a nice relaxing way to spend 2 hours on a friday night.

Yes it looks Stunning, beautiful part of the world to live, and I guess close enough to be near those cities like LA should you want to go, and places like Palm Springs.
Im not really a city type of person, I like to go to them now and again but smaller towns are more my cup of tea.
And the people seem friendlier in smaller places, then again the Americans treat me like I’m Jon Bon Jovi wherever I seem to go.
Hollie Wood
I will do .....I think I’ve heard of it, when I was visiting friends in Wyoming in 2017 I had a online friend in California who lived near a large lake but that was in the north, not fare from the Oregon border.
I love that y'all are honest about the disappointments on the trip too, mostly lots of closings lol. We've kinda developed a culture here nowadays that is just fine with businesses being closed in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, or roads being closed with no timeframes for reopening, etc.
Welcome to the anti-free market decline of the USA. We gave our wealth making opportunity, or free enterprise that we built as free people, to communist china starting 44 years ago,-and this is the result, and actually called "progress" in our schools.
Ya know, if you and I thought about doing business with each other, and while trying to make a deal one of us was not going to make money doing it, it would be "no deal".
What we are living through is our elected, giving our liberty and free enterprise that people with individual liberty created in the first place, to communism,--and they are not compatible because communism does not respect individual liberty at all. As the results prove, no economist was right.
Wow...just stumbled upon your channel. How fun. Great job with the filming and the narration. Really great to see a father and son take a trip together and have so much fun. Thanks for sharing.Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Not only is this a really interesting, informative video, but it's also pretty cool to see you and your pop enjoying this, love it boy's!
What a gem! Years later you will look back and be glad you took this video! Thoroughly enjoyed tagging along!
You did an amazing job with the video. I live in central North Carolina, and took a road trip many years ago to CA. Saw a few of those things along the way, but missed so many. I'm nearly 46 now, and will probably never go back out there again. Those were two well-spent hours watching this video. My dad passed away when I was 20 years old at age 48. So nice to see your dad along for the ride with you. Those are times and miles that you'll never regret sharing with him. I look forward to checking out your other videos. God bless you and your family.
Fantastic journey of Route 66, filmed just for us to view. Your narration is great, very engaging, and you make it fun! Your Dad and you looked like you had a trip of a lifetime. We are in Australia, & in Covid-19 lockdown again, and although I have travelled through USA, I haven't done Route 66. So I feel like I was doing the trip with you. Thanks so much for your efforts. It was amazing.
wish you had a good trip,and I hope to have a travel,but the COVID is so annoying
even as a yank, it was kind of refreshing to see some spots I kind of knew, thru different eyes. and now I have some places to check out, along old 66 in inland-empire LA metro that is not really that far from where we retired. I think my domestic partner would like those, since she is a total foodie and a fan of guy fieri
I have dreamt of taking my kids across the country. I have muscular dystrophy and sadly it doesn’t look like it’s in my future. We are at home right now watching your video. The relationship you have with your dad is so touching. Thank you from the bottom my heart for this informative video. I never know God‘s plan, I pray to make this journey one day, but for now thank you for allowing me to travel route 66 from my bed. I God bless you as you have blessed our lives. As a single mom, of three special needs children, this was my dream, you fulfilled it for all of us. We have lived vicariously through you and your beautiful dad. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Btw-thank you to you and your dad for this beautiful video. 🙌🏻🥰🙏🏻
This came up as a random suggested video. As a former carny, fellow traveler, and wanderluster, I appreciate the effort made in the video. Glad to see the time spent with your dad, what a great trip!
You are blessed to have the opportunity to take this journey with your dad. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Guys! Great adventure you’ve made. I’ve put it in my bucket list. Two years from now, I’ll be 66. I hope I am healthy enough to celebrate my birthday traveling coast to coast on route 66. Thanks for sharing that amazing experience with us. God bless you guys!
My husband and I did this trip a few times before he past away so I got to visit and stay in a few of the places showed on this KZclip road trip.thank you for bring back some very fun memories ❤
You did an excellent job. Never thought I would see a YT video that was almost 2 hours long and worth watching. You have a good voice for narration.

Today is 1/31/2023. I just took 3 days to take this trip with you. It was so fun. I've been sick so this was my way of staying watched to the world. Thank you guys. ☺️♥️
I dream of doing this with my Dad like you both. He's part of the Illinois 66 association. He even hand lettered the Odell Service Station Roof 1:54:10 and made signs for the Mining Museum in Illinois. 1:55:33
Hope I can do this one day with him.
WOW!!! AWESOME & Great road trip!! I really enjoyed watching you and your Dad visit all the stops along Route 66 on your way to Chicago. I learned a lot about Route 66. I told my son that we MUST do this road trip!! THANK YOU for inspiring me and giving me great ideas on where to stop and stay. When we were in Arizona last year (August 2021) we visited Winslow and the Petrified Forest and saw the Route 66 memorabilia. After viewing your video, it has convinced me to go do the Route 66 road trip too. Yay!! Thanks for sharing with us your great and amazing adventure. I love your video series and look forward to more great videos of your adventures! Aloha & God Bless from Kapolei, Hawaii.
Awesome journey! Thank you and your dad for taking us along. ❤️🙏
What a fantastic guided tour! Very nice work on your audio as well. Liked and subscribed!
My family is pretty much a route 66 family. My grandparents met and married in Tucumcari, my dad was born in Albuquerque, I was born in Winslow and my sister was born in San Bernardino. We scattered my parents ashes in Flagstaf. Thanks for this video. It brought back a lot of memories.
...and my childhood belongs in radiator springs...

So cool you and your Dad did this together. Best to go on a trip with someone who is cool, adventurous and is good at making decisions.
Great job guys, lil envious to see you and your dad experience it together, my dad passed when I was 9...adding the end to end road trip to my bucket list with this as my guide...
I love watching you and your dad together ❤ hard to see people now who loves hanging out with their papa.. take care both of you. Hope your both doing great at this time of pandemic 😊
A great video compilation of Route 66, I give this an A, great job! Really good photography, narration, information, background music and taking the extra effort to see some of the sites that were off of the Route 66. It was nice to see a father and son travel this historic route together. I’m sorry to be devil’s advocate, there were a couple of items that were not correct. I lived in South Pasadena in the 60s and 70s and Pasadena in the 70s and 80s as well. The Rialto Theatre is in South Pasadena, CA not Pasadena and what you referred to as the Arroyo Seco Freeway (when I lived there it was called the Pasadena Freeway 11) it was built in 1933 (check the metal plate at the base of the bridge), not 1940 and it was the first freeway built in the U.S.; check the on ramps and off ramps, they are the original ones and were designed for the vehicles of 1933. The Colorado Boulevard bridge in Pasadena we used to call it “Suicide Bridge” this was just a nick name. Besides these items, this is an excellent and educational video, I did not know this history of all of these states on Route 66. By the way, a side note, some of the older gas pumps that said “ethyl” on them this word means tetra ethyl lead which was an anti-knock compound that the oil refineries added to their gasoline. Thank you for posting this great journey! Mike Zimmerman
That was a really nice video. So much history . And you got to spend 14days on the road seeing all the sites with your dad. That is priceless . Enjoy life and the people in it while they are with us. I have everything ,but would trade it all for one more day with my dad .
I agree. I lost my dad a year ago at the age of 90. Oh...to have one more fishing trip or hike or adventure..or a diner meal with him! Time spent with your loved ones is SO special!
My trips with my dad are priceless memories. I am his age now; but the memories are still vivid.
I'm soooo happy you two took me along on your trip! What a wonderful way to spend a pandemic! Thanks!
Very cool
This is an absolutely wonderful video. Thank you for taking us along with you and sharing 2 amazing hours of your journey.
So we did it. We took notes from your videos and made the trip. We were only able to go as far as Oaklahoma city from California, but dang did we have a good time. Good food, good laughs, good times. The whole trip was worth it. Thank you so much for your videos. Cant wait to watch more.
Very well done.....enjoyed the whole two hour trip!
Fantastically put together, and I really enjoyed your journey!
That’s so awesome you got this captured in film with your Dad! I miss road trips, takes me back to when I was in the states and did quite a few with my parents as a kid then as an adult. Brings back many memories. Thanks for sharing!
This father+son trip is so touching to me. I can tell you both really enjoy each other’s company and looks like you two had a great time! It’s awesome that y’all were able to do this last year. You both will cherish these memories forever. I hope you, your dad and the rest of your family are healthy and safe✌🏾
*Btw, great editing and knowledge on a lot of things!
You guys are just the best, informative and with infectious enthusiasm. I envy you your relationship together, it’s wonderful to witness. I’m in the process of watching all your videos and we are going on two road trips soon, Florida and then Yellowstone. Keep up your great work.
I was blessed to be able to travel Route 66 before the bypass and saw an almost intact trip. It was magical. Only went to Kansas though then drove back on the same route.
You made me take this trip. So glad we have people like you cherish and want to preserve the history.
When this popped up on my feed I was like "sure I'll check out about five minutes of this", ended up watching the entire thing. Very well done.
A fantastic road trip: Santa Monica Pier; Burma Shave; Service Stations; Petrified Forest; Will Rogers; Bass Shop; Blue Whale, etc. What makes this video perfect: Half of what you were looking for was closed, renovated, not open yet, unsafe, bad weather, no vacancy, etc. . . . which means there were so many surprise, unplanned stops, later / earlier pick up videos. It's all about "Getting Your Kicks on Route 66!"
This is so GREAT! And what a wonderful thing to be able to do this with your dad. My dad passed in 2007, but we did a cross-country sprint from Upland, CA to Barre, VT (so mostly route 40) and I loved it! We were racing bad weather and had to get me there to start a job, so we didn't get to do ALL of the fun things you two did...but cherish this time with your dad. It may never come again and I WISH I could have done this with mine.
I really like your videos there's a certain calmness and relaxing tone to all your videos. You and your dad just seem like really nice people.
We throughly enjoyed your Route 66 trip with your Dad! Great history & recommendations too. Keep up the great work! Jerry and Jennifer
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy all your videos. We just returned from a quick 4 day trip on Route 66 from Barstow to the Painted Desert and back again. We took many of your suggestions of things to see and do and it made for a wonderful trip. Of course, the highlight was Standin' on the corner (a bucket list item for me). We stayed at La Posada and really loved it. The hotel was beautiful and very quiet, other than the sound of trains going by. We had a wonderful dinner in the Turquoise Room. Thanks again for your wonderful content!
Can you believe that I just saw your documentary about Route 66. Yes! Documentary. Very well edited. We love it. My family were seating at the family room and nothing to watch in TV. So we came across your video. We enjoyed it so much. Love your enthusiasm, knowledge, and the pace. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences.
I really enjoyed this video, well done. Even more inspiring is that you did it with your father. Glad you’re able to do it together & that you have such a great father/son relationship.
I miss my dad. He’s been gone many years now.
RIP 😔
It warmed my heart to see father and son enjoy a little history together.... Lost both of my parents at a young age and always fantasized about the time and things I'd would have been able to do with my parents.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you so much ! You did an awesome job capturing the journey !
How is this guy so talented at creating travel videos? Good job man
I have visited parts of Route 66 with my wife about 10 years ago, we started in Santa Monica. We met in San Francisco after she had been on a world trip for several months. I'd love to see all it all again (and eat your hot dogs). I wonder if I will get the chance to also do such a trip with my daughter in the far future. Really amazing video, stops, and dad! ;)
I have seen this before but I enjoy traveling with you guys. Love the videos.
This is a really well-done travelogue! I love how you show so many small businesses and your narration is really pleasant and easy to listen to.
So cool that you got to do this with your dad. I loved every moment of this trip and my most favorite part was your doing it with your dad !!
I've never been to the States myself, but I always had it in my head to travel along that famous road if I ever found myself in the country 😊
You are so detailed in your road trips! I love how you are making outstanding memories with your Pops! Your voice is so friendly and the background music is an excellent addition !! Thanx for allowing us to enjoy your travels!! Have fun!
What an epic adventure... thank you for shring and inspiring me to plan my own vacation down Rt66. I love that your dad is wearing a Canada Tshirt. I'm from Canada :)
Really enjoyed being with you on your trip, I’m British & have lived in California & Arizona, so it was like memory lane for me, Thank you 🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, I was on route 66 as a child from start to finish with my mom. I am Glad to see it today hopefully we can travel it someday again. 🙏
This is wonderful, my partner & I live in England in the UK 🇬🇧 and we’ve always wanted to do this, we are living it vicariously through you and your Dads trip. Thanks for posting 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️ it lovely that you’re doing this with your Father, My Father passed some years ago but spending time like this with him would have been fantastic.
When things are safe please come do so! A lot of these places are both a little lost in time and in general small businesses so it helps these small town American communities a lot!
what a great father son experience I am in my 80's and it made me sad & nostalgic to see some of what used to be wish I
could have done the same thing with one of my parents
Just watched this with your dad! Totally awesome road trip! Thanks for letting us come along!
Thank you both for your videos. I am a senior lady and now I can travel around without leaving my house!
Very enjoyable journey! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Super fun trip! Love that you took Dad with you ❤️
I'm from Japan and a Big Fan of Route 66. Your Route 66 story is THE BEST in KZclip! I've already repeated viewing your story almost 30 times :-> Picture are sooo beautiful!
And as other guys are saying "Father-and-Son Trip" is too fantastic!
I live basically around Joplin and Carthage Missouri. If you got any questions about the cultural significance or if there's anything to see, just ask.
I've been on route 66 in California and in Chicago but never came close to driving the whole thing. With that said, I'd much rather visit Japan!! We can trade 😅😅😅
Funny because Japan is my dream place!! ❤️
I’m from USA and two of my top places to travel before I die are Route 66 - and Japan! You have some gorgeous features out there, can’t wait to see Mt. Fuji and the beautiful areas surrounding it, to visit an onsen, visit the ramen museum that has a replica of a midcentury Tokyo street, and so much more. Hope you can make it to Route 66 and happy travels!
Hola from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico😊
Absolutely loved this. Well done guys.
Pops was really patient and very involved and eager. Loved every minute !!
Pop was pigging out at every eatery.
Thanks Gents for a great video! One for repeated viewing. Iv'e only been to a few sections of Route 66 over the years, mostly in Illinois where I live.
