As always, a fantastic vlog. Thanks Simon. I would definitely have done the rollercoaster, but my wife definitely wouldn't. I've got a great chest mount for my GoPro that would definitely allow filming of the whole ride. We can't wait to see the full t-shirt haul that you promised for the final episode. My wife and I are so enjoying joining you on your journey. We don't want it to end, but when it does we'll start binge watching your previous road trip.
Hello Simon, Jo and Paul here. Your English buddies living our best life in Gold Coast, Australia. Absolutely loving the Route 66 series. We've tuned in every night on our TV (hence the lack of comments hahaha). We visited Seligman in February 2014. Angel was still working and we had the honour and privilege of having a coffee with him. We were on a tour from Vegas to Grand Canyon. Meeting Angel was a big highlight. Hope you enjoyed your slower day. Big love and hugs, Jo and Paul xx
I have a rule that I wont drive more than 4 hours a day when I travel. So i understand your wanting to take a bit of a rest driving. It can be pretty tiring. look forward to tomorrows vlog Simon
Just got back from vegas, I have been following along, what an amazing trip. I saw a statue of you in vegas, put it in my vlog lol. Now I am back I will try and comment more. Cheers mate.
Nothing like starting a relaxing day with a manually operated rollercoaster at full pelt! 😂 What a lovely little town this was, the USA tourist board need to snap you up to promote touring, you sure do sell it beautifully! 😍 Night night Simon, see you tomorrow 🤗❤️😘
Keep it nice and chill, Simon. But taking the time to walk and spend a bit around this historic town was great. And how touching to know a man responsible for restoring and rejuvenating a section of Route 66 and even giving haircuts and Burma Shave is still alive and active at 97 years old - a wonderful testament for keeping this landmark highway alive and for those of us who enjoy a bit of the good old days. A side note, Simon. My family owned and I managed a small Frosty Boy ice cream stand in our town for 20 years before selling it in 2001 - so please, for me, make it to that Frozen Ice stand tomorrow! And I'll see you in the morning, mate!
I waited and got a frozen ice chiefd... delicious !! YES great hearing Angel is still alive and well... love the German shade signs .. so 66 !!!!! Thanks as always mate.. 👍🇬🇧😁
I've been back to Seligman since doing R66 from Vegas as its quite a nice day trip and mainly cos I like a diner in Kingman. Although I'm getting nervous at what point you're gonna turn off for Vegas though🤦♂️😂😂. Great trip mate.
Loved that little town and the barber shop. Too bad the cafe wasn't too good and the hospitality not great. You'd think that they would be even more personable to their patrons since it likely lives off of tourists. I'm glad you're taking it easy for a couple of days. You need it my friend 🤗. Ohhh...and I didn't know you play the piano 🎹. Nice 😉
Wahooooooo. What a legend Angel the Barber is .I bet he's got some fantastic stories to tell , im surprised you didn't bump into him. Cool little town,
We are passing through Flagstaff next week en route to Williams for the night Simon. I’m having the ribs from Cruisers cafe and we are both doing the coaster too. The gun range is right next door to Cruisers and might expend a few rounds and dollars there. You are passing by 80 miles from us when you go through Barstow. We are leaving Palm Springs next Sunday heading to Vegas for the night before our 4 day tour of Kanab, Monument Valley and Williams. Then onto Vegas for 4 days - it’s a shame we missed you, so near but yet so far. Stay safe of those roads mucker 🙏
I am in florida at the moment and following your journey superb mate and Im off to to vegas next month with the lads looking forward to you arriving in vegas on your visit looking for some tips mate and safe journey
Love seligman! Shame you couldn’t get a trim not that there’s much to cut 😂😂 the bottle opener will be put to good use I’m sure ! Look forward to the next one !
Thanks again Simon. Williams and Seligman are a couple of MUST visit locations. I’ve lost count of the amount of really cool diners you’ve been in. Take care and enjoy the final stretch of Route 66
This has been the best motel you have stayed in Simon. Lovely and fresh looking, and that communal room was a really nice touch. Pity about the burger 🍔 but you've gotta try it. Enjoy the rest of your trip 😊
It was a really nice modern one claire but still a 66 one... which is brilliant.. they even gave you a brown paper bag with breakfast in it to take on your travels.. thanks for watching 😁🇬🇧👍
Shame…..I’m in vegas start of June and have 2x 25kg bag allowance with only one bag. Would have been happy to assist getting stuff back to the Uk but will miss you by a couple of weeks.
Again, really interesting Simon, we are really enjoying these, so good to see all these historic places 😁👍. I hope you are flying home business class so you can fit all those tshirts and souvenirs in! 😂
Now then, Frederic Chopin! 🎹 Seligman looked great, id have spent all day looking around there at all them old motors n that. Legit motel too! Rolling out them cool memories mate, hope u have a spare case for all the T shirts. 👍
I’m going in ❤ you need to get some T-shirts made, would definitely buy Beautiful scenery, driving through that everyday must be a dream. Love all the purchases am sure this haul near the end is gonna be huge 🤣🤣 Hope the rest has you recharged ready for what awaits tomorrow. Brilliant again Simon
Full tilt on the Canyon Coaster. Well, that is one way to start your day, especially if you need a wake up nudge. We always enjoy the Simon chuckle, but would have liked to hear the all out scream. Mauricio was a pleasant fellow. Would have been nice to have gotten a shave from Angel. Thanks for showing us Seligman. Only 5,609 miles from home. The dinner rolls looked good. Enjoy the morning burger! Another town. From where he’s been. Here comes Simon. He’s going in. Burma-Shave.
Will the talents of Simon South ever end - look at you on the Aunt Joanna 😀 I seen on the neon sign " new colour tv's " 😆 😂 - surly you could get all that shipped home with all your millions 😀 Simon I look forward to this time every night I sit down cast it into the tv and enjoy- you and John Rodger are the Top 2 vloggers on RUclips the variety and entertainment you provided is Top Class - please just keep going I don't want this to end
I don't want it to end either kevin !! Yes met john briefly.. seemed a really nice bloke... millions !!!! Im almost down to my last 4 !!!! Cheers for watching 😁🇬🇧👍
The Mother Town on the Mother Road. California might be the least interesting part of Route 66 if you like vintage stuff or sleepy little towns that are still breathing.
@@simonsouth6184 at the Wigwam tonight! You were right the steaks were really good at the place next door. Staying at bellagio from Monday, hope to catch you in vegas mate.
