This brought back so many memories. I'm 58, and in July & August 1976, my grandfather took me and my cousin on a trip out there in a 1970 Ford econoline van. The van was set up with seats in the back that converted to twin beds, and there was a hammock that suspended across the front seats. No air conditioning, 3 speed on the column. We were gone for 5 weeks and camped every night in a different city except for the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. We spent 2 nights in both places. Believe me, your kids will remember this trip for the rest of their lives!

So nobody has to sleep on the floor. When we did go on a trip I had a 35 ft. motorhome with a 35 ft. camper. Now we did stay at campgrounds. But since I did have my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law with us they didn't want to stay in the motorhome all the time...lol... so that's how I know about the rollaway bed.

I am thrilled to see the "ole girl" doing her very best to take you on this adventure. I've been checking YT all day every day for each installment of the Sleeperdude Western Adventure. Now, y'all need to vacation on a working dude ranch for a few days for the real cowboy experience! Yippee I oh ki-ay!

[@quickdeuce]

As the family drive by all those abandoned sheds, houses, barns, motels, gas stations I try to imagine the people's dreams when they first bought the land and built those structures. Whomever they were they worked very hard, invested every dime they had in a quest to fulfill a dream. They tried,, they really tried but whatever of lifes hardships caused them to pack up and leave, to abandon their dreams and move on to who knows where to try and survive with what little they had left. Did they try again somewhere else? I like to think because they all are or were brave and adventurous some did achieve their dream. Many just gave up and disappeared into the distance never to be heard from again.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes it’s crazy

[@thomasknight3975]

They say that the interstate caused the shut down of all those peoples dreams no exit ramps or on ramps from the interstate...

Before 911 that inspection station was manned by a single 19 year old private. he said "Are you an American Citizen ?" I said "Yes" and he said in a high pitched cracking voice "Are you sure? " those were the days.

[@hoffmanshaven]

Those weren't all cameras. One is a IR camera that can detect hidden people in a vehicle. I believe they have some kind of backscatter device too. The one with the huge lens on it. I don't know how it "sees" through metal though. They really don't need to stop you now. They can see into and through all vehicles that go through.

Awesome video as always! This series has brought back memories of daddy's plymouth station wagon that we went to Florida in. He tied all our stuff on top in the luggage rack and on one trip it started flying off the top going down the road. I personally loved the back seat and spent many hours there. My dad has been very sick and I found a picture of the wagon and I got it where he can see it. Please keep doing what you are doing as there is a higher power directing your paths,Ralph

Such a wonderful trip you all are on. And the Olds wagon seems to be taking all the miles in stride. Highway cruising was what that automobile was built for.

They live near the small town of Tularosa (which you may have driven through).

[@gotham61]

It is truly a joy to be able to live vicariously through your family on this road trip. As I said in an earlier comment, my family took a near identical trip in 1976, the same year as your great grandparents. We covered a lot of the same ground, and saw many of the same attractions. I'm pretty sure some of those things in Tombstone haven't changed in 47 years! We also had a low gas emergency when we were driving south through the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. All of the gas stations were closed, because there was a big Navajo gathering down in Gallup. We eventually relented and managed to get a little leaded gas for our "unleaded gas only" car from a teenager in a small town, and made it to Gallup before running dry.

[@Sleeperdude]

Oh wow what a story

[@kevinjeansonne5081]

great video.... I grew up with a 72 olds custom cruiser wagon. Since there were mom, dad and six kids we couldn't afford to travel the country. Instead, we went fishing, to other relatives for the day, and to church. Fishing galore, but for myself just like sleeperdude I never liked fishing even to this day. By the By, I stack all my bolts/nuts/screws on top of the radiator support too. This has become my favorite youtube channel since our families are so similar. Kudos to a fellow Southerner with Scottish ancestry, 3 kids, and a love for old cars.

[@clintferguson8328]

I talked my dad into staying at the Wigwam when I was a kid he did not want to stay there but my mom talked him into it and we had a great time, love this video bring back a lot of old memory's of me when I was around 8 years old

[@dave1135]

1:45:44 josh, that low coolant light is caused by the sensor going bad. Om the radiator about 2-3 inches below the cap is a small black box with 2 or 3 wires coming out. You fan unplug it and the light will stay off. How it works is there are 2 contacts inside, and when they are covered by coolant the switch is open and the light is off. If its gets uncovered by low coolant then it closes and turns on the light. Usually scale builds up on it, throwing it off.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you I need to fix that

We visited an uncle that owned a gold mine and panned for gold on the way to another uncle's house. We took a northern route out and a southern route back. Can't believe it was over 50 years ago and 5 people rode that far. A lot of memories are being brought up from your video. Thank you so much!

Love the trip video Josh, felt so sorry for Wawa. You could tell that she was so uncomfortable that she was about to cry. Can relate for sure. Can you imagine the sky at night without any light infiltrating the area? To say that Josh was excited at Tombstone would be a total understatement? LOL, Tosh has her hands full with 4 kids she is traveling with. Awesome video shots Josh, thanks for taking us along. Be safe!

Don’t forget to check the air pressure in your tires first thing in the morning. FYI, Costco has free air (nitrogen) stations that are open when the gas station is open. Don’t have to be a member to use the air pumps.

Brought back a lot of memories. My family moved out to SoCal from Denver in '53. We stayed in those TeePee motels each time we drove back to Denver to visit Grandma & Grandpa. We stayed on the ORIGINAL Route 66 all the way from Albuquerque to Pomona. First time was in a '47 Studebaker later a '53 Chevy Convertible and eventually a '60 Corvair. and a '64 Impala Then, in 1971 I was old enough to Drive the new I-40 to Texas all the way to Amarillo while in the USAF. And many times since then. But it's still Route 66 to me. Those old Gas Stations you see there filled up our car (17-19 cents a gallon), checked the oil and washed our windshield. The Restrooms were clean and the attendant would wink at Mom when he was washing the windshield and she was pointing out the bug splatters. 😉 What you are missing are the "Burma Shave" signs along the way.

My family and I stayed at the tee pee hotel in 1972. We also stopped at most of the same places you guys did. We took two weeks from California to Massachusetts. Cool to see it again. Thanks guy's.

Thanks, Sleeperdude family, for documenting your trip. Our family experienced this year’s summer vacation vicariously through you. 😊

Watching this brings back memories of my wife and my first trip together 10 years ago. You all saw the same sites that we saw on our trip.
