Russ I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos for years now, I will give anything to be able to do what you're doing and just ride around and look at our beautiful country
My dad was a high school teacher in Kingman from 1954 - 1976, and my mom was an RN at the "old" hospital. I grew up in Kingman and remember when they brought the train engine to the park. I can also remember when there were Stuckeys all along the road ways. I graduated from Kingman High in 1970 and was there before Hwy 40 was built. Lots of fond memories of Kingman, Oatman, Bullhead City, and remember Laughlin before there were any casinos. When I went to high school Havasu high school students were bused to Kingman. My dad and I did research on bats (yes bats) and we went into many of the old mines before they became tourist attractions.
Love Route 66 to Oatman Thanks RVerTV,Russ for letting us ride along .👍
Very cool scenery even without a super bloom. Thank you.
My husband and I traveled Route 66 from CA to OK in 1959. Volkswagen, newborn baby and a bird. Hot!! I enjoyed your trip!!
Lol. I enjoy your videos. Just like giving people a hard time....lol
Russ! We saw a few blooms! Thank you! And a couple of burros!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙
This is just like doing it in person, nice way to chill out. Thanks Russ.
Thank you for all your support. Have a good evening
Thanks for the tour, Russ. My Dad loved the desert he would take us out gold panning, rock hounding, and target shooting every summer when I was out of school. His last new car was a 1967 Ford Fairlane and he drove it like a 4x4 truck all over the desert if we got stuck we dug it out, great times. Take care, Mike
What a cool dad 💚
Thank you Russ! Thumbs Up 👍 Always!❤
Last time I was on Route 66 was back in 1968 lotta memories that was.
Really loved the fishbowl scenery ❤ thank you for finding the flowers and the donkeys 🫏 great drive 👍
Really wonderful tour! I used to have a doctor same name as the fish pond/spring!
Tickled to see flowers blooming and enjoyed by wolf burros !! Fantastic!
Your "flower diligence" paid off, and they are beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. My wife and I are always looking for areas where they have lots of flowers. I like your superbloom videos. And thank you on your video of the memorial hill on 66 going to Oatman and for mentioning our daughter's name Leigh Ann that made us smile, Thank you.
Train had four locomotive engines and looked like 200 cars!
Speaking of Andy Devine here was an episode of "The Fugitive" (Seas. 3 Episode 5, October 12, 1965) filmed on that road and inside of the hotel Andy Devine owned. Per IMDB "There actually is a High Desert Inn located at 2803 E. Andy Devine Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401. Andy Devine was a long-time character actor who was born in Flagstaff, Arizona, before it was a state."
Great Video. Always have enjoyed all your videos can't wait for your summer travels
Love when you put up the drone. !!
Keep getting your kicks.......
Very nice drive !!!😎👍👍
That’s awesome. Lived here in Az🌵 almost my whole life (50 yrs) never been to Oatman. On my list. Thanks for the tour.
If you ever get a chance jump on 191 and write it all the way through Utah. The views are breathtaking every mile is worth it
Love the videos! Shout at the TV to "send up the drone!" Thank you for stating the month and year. Love Ya Russ!
I really enjoy watching your RUclips Channel, Russ! Too cool for school! I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.
Thanks Russ. Wife and I got back from our trip to Florida and back to California. Went down that route 66 you showed us on our way to the Hoover Dam, it was GREAT. Had lunch at MR. D's Cafe . Did the Route 66 museum as well. Was a GREAT visit. Thanks for the video.
RTVER TV IS. FANTASTIC I IN JOY ALL THE EXPLORER YOU DO THANKS RUSS😊
Anywhere in the desert you find water..you are guaranteed to find flowers this time of the year
No traffic🌵 Love your videos
Adding in the 2023 clips was great.
I've travelled Route 66 from Seligman to Topock and on to Amboy several times on the Harley. Great views Thanks Russ.
Very cool!
Thanks for the inspiration from CJS
your a Jumpstarter?
😅 yay you found some too cool for school
❤
THANKS!
You're welcome!
Great scenic video!
Did Oatman to Cool Spring Station on my Goldwing in 2019
Thanks Russ for trying found a few. Like the flowers around the fish bowl. This summer you will find flower pots in the small towns you will visit. Lincoln Highway is longer then Route 66.
매번 좋은 영상 감사합니다. 항상 안전에 유의하시길 부탁합니다. ❤❤
For some reason every time I see that road it always reminds me of the movie with Lucy and Desi the long, long trailer :-) I know it wasn't filmed there but something about all the curves and imagining someone taking a jumbo trailer behind an old mercury. Just cracks me up.
I thought that too.
That's the episode where Lucy collected all the rocks from places they went
@@IEchuckie exactly, every pound matters when you're loading up your rig 🙂
@@IEchuckie Every pound adds up when you're towing :-)
Was there last year for super bloom. Beautiful drive to Oatman. Only disappointment was only burro in town was the orphan bottle baby from last year.
Tysm for posting those road trips . Best one yet was the drive through Montana. Loved it. 👍🏻 all 2 h n 40 mins of it.
Love that section of US 66, just as fun as Iron Mountain Rd between Mt Rushmore and the eastern entrance of Custer State Park. I ❤ driving winding mountain roads.
Cool Russ I’ve wanted to do this but have been apprehensive told family wdnt want to drive it w/ them in car but solo maybe much appreciate this video in particular ✌🏼
We were there Sunday there are fish still there we gave them some of the food there
We were there a few weeks ago and the gold fish where there, they just swim down when they see you.
Cool vid
Hi Russ. We are planning a trip to do the entire Route 66 next summer 2025 when my son graduates high school…… thanks for your videos I will take some of your tips to add to out trip. We will take 4 weeks mid July to mid August drive from northern Alberta Canada to Chicago start the journey then at the end we will drive the pacific coast hwy up to Vancouver BC then back to Alberta.
I traveled through parts of Rt 66- 50 years ago. I know I missed parts of it and was glad I could see it again. Seemed like I was there. The drone footage is something that could never have been seen then. This was really " Too Cool For School.!! " 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
Glad you enjoyed it
This is cool because my parents took my dad’s parents to San Diego in 1957, following Route 66, started in MI. No freeways in those days. Have always wanted to do the same ride. My folks had quite a story/adventure to recall.
YAY!!!!
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. WARM / SUNNY/ CANADA. FLOWERS ; TULIPS ; DAFFODILS - GROWING. HAPPY TRAILS - U.S.A. - RUSS - RVerTV FANS. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Scenery is wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Seeing that old Van reminds of ghost town in Nelson Nevada, check it out Russ, you’ll see more old old different vehicles
Super drone work.
Hi Russ 🙂
Thanks for the post! Perfect timing! One week from this Saturday I'm going to be there! I can't wait!
2 or 4 wheels?
@@SmittyAZ4 wheels! Going to a photog workshop in Nelson NV and taking first day there to do route 66
@@jeffreydeboer4414 I've driven / ridden by the Nelson turnoff more tines than I can remember. I've still yet to go there. Have a nice trip.
Hope you enjoy it!
IT WAS A WONDERFUL RIDE...THANKS RUSS 😊
Great ride, Russ. Curvy about like US 33 in Virginia and West Virginia. Too bad about the flowers and the fish pond. Loved the Rest Stop at the start of your ride, very funny.
“Too cool”. Thank you sir!
Good stuff MrRuss😎👍
Thanks 👍
If you would like to see lots of yellow spring flowers, visit Amargosa Valley, NV. It is the best we have seen in the past 25 years.
Hey Russ, thanks for the great video(s).
You kept mentioning the wildflower Bloom (or lack of this year)
If you really want to see wildflowers in mass abundante, get to Texas next year last week of March- first week of April.
Take Hwy 16 south from Llano to Fredericksburg. Be sure and stop at both Enchanted Rock & Willow City Loop (both right off Hwy 16) before you get to Fredericksburg. Lots of RV park choice in the Hill Country. Maybe hit Luckenbach on your way put of Fredericksburg. Enjoy & safe travels.
Bring back your old signature tune I prefer it!
❤
Hello Russ
Looks like a narrow road for sure. Nice journey-loved the burros eating the field flowers 🌺
Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their wedding night at the Oatman Hotel March 29,1939. They got married in Kingman.
❤❤
RRRRRRROOOOOOOTTTTTT 66...AAAAHHH
Hi Russ nice video been there and we saw the superbloom last year thanks to you! We are in Quartzite AZ. Right now eating pizza at Silly Al's Pizza wondering if you are around here thank you and keep on trucking
Purple flowers look like Lupine.
I was going to take Route 66 from Kingman to Oatman this fall but your video convinced me no way. I have a 34ft Class A. I don't mine the windy road - a lot like 395 through E. Oregon but the narrow road and horrible road conditions - nope. I did have someone tell me from Kingman to Oatman there is a place where the rocks stick out into the road. With his 40ft DP he had to go into the other lane to not hit it. Didn't see anything like that in your video.
I need to make a correction on Seligman it grate to and see 😊
Thx Russ think I’m gonna do this stretch solo soon thx for run through 🙏🏼 ps I’m concerned about driving the Pass
🕊Traveling with RVerTV 🏜 🚐
Route 66 🛣⛽️
Yikes ...so many curves
Mr. Sir Russ...I have looked up, in a few sites about the 'route' word. It is ALRIGHT. KOSHER, and PROPER to say root, or rout.
It's route not route 😅
Looking for the gold fish on this video makes me wonder if the gold fish have survived at the place you took us way up in the mountains some time back
If you mean Boriana Mine Road answer is yes.
The only time I’ve been on the road is while out on a motorcycle. I don’t know why my trips feel incomplete when that Cool Springs store is closed and no, I’ve never been there early in the morning. Russ probably gets up close to when I’m going to sleep. One time the road was closed due to a big rig ignoring the warning signs.
i have nt seen ability to speak on every moment the way u do .
is it God gifted or do you have any sort of certification or degree .u speak like professional reporter.
That colorado river should be pretty full
Enjoyed. Root 66 sounds better than Route 66😊
It's route 66 not route 66😊
Is that bendy road, where they made the movie *ITS A MAD MAD MAD WORLD*
Russ….did ever receive the decorated Rock I sent you? From Allison Johnson, Oceanside, California.
Both cliffs right up to the roadway.Just scare the hell out of me When there is cars coming up behind me When I wrote do there on my bicycle years ago.
And always afraid of rockfall
The burro was calling you?
Russ, that Shafers Pond spot looks like a rattlesnake waiting to happen. 90% of your videos are in those type of areas but, I've never heard you mention anything about running up on one, have you ever? I be expecting to hear you say something about seeing one on most of your videos out west.
Would love to see the inside of your van. Do you show it on any of your videos?
Did you remember to get your kicks on route 66?
Rotor Rooter
Hey Russ…what is the guitar music you played on this episode?
its listed in the description of the videos
Hey what happened to the burros?? There were lots of them when we visited Oatman in 2019.
A semi truck trailer can be pu to 53 ft
Either Root or route is correct...check Google as to how to prounce.
Pronounce
i read 91 curves
24:32
9:36 Ya gonna stop?
Pronouncing Route either way is correct. No need to correct yourself.
It's route 66 not route 66
