Hey Jessie just wanted to say that my elderly mother and I live in Phoenix Arizona. My mother isn't able to get out very much at all so I've been showing her you're videos of you're trips around Arizona to help her escape her room that she pretty much is confined too due to copd that allows her to take a ride and see Arizona without having to leave her bed. We're both very thankful for what you do and wanted you to know that you're making an impact on her life for the better. 🙏God bless bud and thank you.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I cant even begin to tell you how much reading this comment warmed my heart. I've reread this comment 4 or 5 times now and each time I read it, it gets deeper and deeper. I never thought that my videos could mean so much to anyone, but I am beyond thrilled to hear that they mean so much to you and can help you take a little virtual getaway and get your mind off the present, even if its just for a few minutes. it brought me a lot of joy reading this comment and only fuels my passion and drive to continue making these videos. I'm not too familiar with copd, but i can kind of relate when it comes to being confined to a space and desperately wanting to get out, even if its just for a couple minutes. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to tune into the videos and tagging along for the adventure. I will most certainly keep the videos coming, and I'll even let you in on a little secret.......last week I had the amazing opportunity to visit a very cold state in the upper northwest of the united states.......Alaska!....Shhhhh 🤫 dont tell anybody. so in the next few weeks I will be working on those videos. Alaska isnt as warm and sunny as Arizona, but the landscapes and wildlife make up for the cold temperatures. thank you once again for tuning into the channel and checking out the videos. I wish you well and hope for nothing but the best. take care and god bless 🙏, Jessie

Hi Jesse, Way back in 1965 I was 22 yrs old and drove my ‘64 Corvair from Pittsburgh to Southern California. Ever since then I’ve had a nostalgic fascination with Route 66! It was unusual for a young woman to make that long drive by herself. My parents were flipping out and made me promise not to speed (they knew my need for speed) and to call them every night. What an adventure that was. I specifically remember the gas/food/rest station in the first part of your clip. I’m a happy 80 yr young grandma now, and my traveling days are over, so a huge thank you for your content!! I’ve tried to retrace my journey but most of 66 is now super highway. Many blessings to you and yours at this holiday season! Kathy

[@joshm3342]

Also from Pgh, owned a '64 Corvair. Never took it out of state. But years later, I drove a van to SoCal, mostly along the old Rt 66 (it was simply the most direct route).

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey thank you so much for sharing! sounds like it was one awesome trip! everyone should do a solo road trip in their like at one point. I once went all the way from southern minnesota "where I was living at the time" all the way to southwest utah to Zion national park.....and I will never forget it! some of the best part of road trips is stopping in at the gas stations, fueling up, getting junk food and talking to random people! thank you once again for sharing your story! I will keep the adventures coming! Have a wonderful Holiday season!

[@halvo265]

Four of us rode this route 2 days ago on motorcycles. Outstanding! One of my favorite rides.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Oh hey thanks!

My wife and I drove the Sidewinder from Kingman to Oatman a year ago. Only took me a day to pry my wife’s fingers from the door handle but the marks are still there. As for me, I was fine once my sphincter cramps went away a few days later. The town of Oatman was lovely though and the burros just made us smile…a very favorable memory for us.

I used to live in Kingman. I drove that way to Oatman a few times, which sure brings back memories

I used to live in Kingman too as a child. Been to Oatman during Harley Poker Run usually in April. Brings back memories. Anyone else fom that ares, Mohave county? FYI, the summer is 100°f +. Bring lots of extra water.

[@cavecookie1]

@@CeeatvWnder I lived in Oatman through the 90's. I believe you are referring to the Laughlin River Run, in April. Huge event in Oatman; I prepped for it for the month before. I managed the Hotel Restaurant for a few years, and also the Mission Inn, which is nothing but ashes and memories now. Was one of the gunfighters, as well. Oh, the stories I could tell...

I love this Drive, I always stop at the Top at Sitgreaves Pass View Point! Walk up to the Top of the Mountain for the View and there’s a lot of memorials. Just take your time driving, sometimes you will see Burros in the Road so please be careful. I think half of the trip to Oatman is the Drive itself! But the Town is pretty Cool

[@Barbe-r9t]

Brings back memories. Thank you. We were told that Clark Gable stayed there too.

[@ReginaldDewitte]

I took that road with my 36 class A RV, that was a challenge, we arrived at nightfall in Oatman and parked on the private parking lot located on the right when getting in to town and spent the night there. The guy at Cool spring station told me before we go that I'd probably see my tail lights on some of the turns, and he was right. That night was magical, we where the guardians of the town, only us and the donkeys. Thanks to the owner of the parking lot who authorized us to stay overnight. Thanks for the video, reminds me good souvenir.

[@windsurfed1]

One of the best uses of the DJI mini 4 Pro usage I have seen. I have one also. All sensors were in effect. Great aerial shots. Also great narration, crystal clear. And beautiful scenery.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Thank you! I couldnt agree more, active track is pretty spot on and one of the best features on this drone! it even kept up with my car despite a light breeze. appreciate you checking out the video and thank you for those kind words! 👍

[@nlpnt]

Wrecked car you asked "Thoughts?" is a 1968-72 Datsun 510. One of the best-handling sedans of its' time. Judging by how stripped it is - no interior, no engine - and the difficulty of getting parts up from that spot I suspect it was stripped for parts elsewhere, towed out there and dumped over the cliff. Probably well before the turn of the millennium as the rust-free Arizona shell (pre-crash damage) would be worth money starting around that time.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Thank you!

[@Charles-qq7vf]

Beat me to it!!! I'd love to have a 510, again, even a four door.

[@canadianstarbuck]

I agree it's a Datsun 510 no doubt.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

This is what I came to say...so I'll switch it up. Later the executives at Datsun wanted to change the name from Datsun to Nissan for the American market, to give it a higher-end image. On the floor the tooling and production lines had to keep on spitting out cars non stop and the production guys kept being pushed to make the name change. So everyone was called into a meeting to settle on a date for the change. After the executives gave the final date the production guys all yelled out DAT-SOON!

[@IKK420]

When the cars broke down on that road the locals just pushed it over the side because it was cheaper than getting a tow truck up there. I live at the base and have worked in oatman.

[@bobbywhiteman9421]

I've taken this road many times,sitgreaves pass is my favorite part of route 66,love route 66.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

[@lynettenasseri753]

Several years ago we took Route 66 into Oatman and on the way stopped at the very small town of Seligman. There we met the well known barber Angel Delgadillo at his barber/gift shop. He was so friendly and welcoming with such interesting stories of the heydays of Route 66. The drive to Oatman was enjoyable and the town has a lot to offer with the various shops and interesting with burros wandering around. We visited as the Laughlin motorcycle River Run was going on and there were Harleys galore on the roads, in Oatman and in Laughlin. These areas are worth visiting.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Just for fun, there's the Clark Gable history with Oatman. He was so recognizable, he would go up to Boondocks Oatman Hotel and hang out and play poker with the smatter of old-timers. It was such a good hideout, he honeymooned there with Carole Lombard.

[@RFWieder]

Cool Springs is such a cool place to stop. And a must! The original Rt. 66 is a ghost St. That pass has a little cave, you can stop and take a few pics. Oatman is a cute little town! 😆

Thank you 👍

[@joerivas9847]

Did you feed the burros?

[@PerryAdkins-vx4rp]

I rode this road in 2003 on my Harley bike with 3 of my riding friends. My bike was having problems with the main breaker tripping. When we got to the top of the mountain it was 105°. As we started down the mountain it was getting dark and when my bike breaker would trip it would kill my lights and everything on my bike would go dead. We were told there was a motel in Oatman but when we got there it was closed We had to ride back to Kingsman. We got there about midnight. That was the scariest part of my whole 11 day trip But by the grace of God we got back to Houston alive.

Back around 2018 a guy who grew up in calif. 2 doors down worked at cool springs while I was living in Bullhead city. So I took a drive down and spent a couple hours with him as people would stop by and browse and shop. So Jerry if your still around hope your doing ok. Happy Trails !

[@cydkriletich6538]

This was a fun ride down memory lane, or what memory I still retain after 60+ years! When I was 11 yrs. old in the summer of 1960, my dad retired after 20 years in the USAF. He was station on the East Coast, where my mom’s family was from. But his family was in California, and even though he had no job and no known house to take his wife and 5 kids to, he decided he wanted to be closer to his family. So, he packed us all into his new, 2-toned, silver Chevy station wagon; the kind that had a third seat in the very back, facing the back window. and off we went. To make a very long story short, my dad dragged all of us back and forth across the U.S. six times in the next 3 years, and on every trip, the Western part of it was on Rte.66. What I remember most clearly are the shadows of the clouds on the landscape in front of us, and the long, and often lonely, road. I remember the sound of the windshield wipers slapping back and forth when it rained. And the sound of my mom or dad trying to tune in a radio station…any radio station (!), and hearing the static and sound of choppy, distant voices as my folks played with the dial. We didn’t get to stop at the sights along the way, either; dad was too anxious to get the drive over with. We kids complained constantly about traveling so much but stopping to see nothing. We would beg him to stop at anything! A little marker by the side of the road indicating that some famous outlaw had once pitched a tent there, or a fun looking hamburger joint, or even a small Native American community selling handmade items. But he rarely stopped…unless we cried we needed to use the bathroom! And, if that were the case, my dad would stop just about anywhere along the road and let my two brothers go out into the brush and pee…I swear, I think they irrigated parts of AZ! But for me and my sister, we had to wait until a gas station with a proper bathroom that mom could inspect and, if necessary clean and disinfect before we could go. I think it’s likely that is when I first knew what “Penis envy” meant! I don’t know if we were on Rte 66 yet, but I remember late one night, out in the usual middle of nowhere, as we five kids slept in the opened area of the station wagon, when dad woke us up. “Hey, kids! Look!” Rubbing our eyes and trying to see something in the pitch black night, we didn’t see a thing. He kept telling us to “Look over there!” Finally he said “Up in the sky!” And, sure enough, there was the faint, very distant white of lights in the sky, way, way off in the distance. “”That’s Chicago! Now…stop complaining that you never get to see anything!” Thanks so much for letting me see something along the way all these years later!

I hung out for awhile talking about our youth and the things we lived through in the 70/80s. Lol….I will never forget that experience. Ended up just driving through Oatman without stopping, but did see the Burros

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

ahhh, the 70s, what a time to be alive haha....thanks for sharing!

Amazing video thank you!

Scariest part of Rt 66 was where it ascended/descended La Bajada Hill, just south of Santa Fe, NM. Many switchbacks on a steep dirt road, required vehicles of the day to ascend in reverse.

[@jolie1327]

I loved watching it as I lived in the region during the c scare and in NM all the parks were closed to non residents makes no sense but neither does the governor as bad as ny. Yes, do more of oatman.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Will do! Thank you for checking out the video!

My grandfather lived in Kingman but worked for the newspaper in Las Vegas. He wrote and illustrated a story about an old prospector and his burrow. The prospectors name was Badwater Bill.

Jerome, AZ is my favorite place to visit. I’ve been there about a dozen times in the last 20 years.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

oh wow!! love jerome!! its great place!!

[@lilyLily1824]

I got bit by a burro there in Oatman once. We were sitting in a bar and a burro kicked open the door, and walked over to Mr and took a big bite out of my thigh. Then he walked away! It hurt a little and left a bruise. It was funny!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

That little SH*T!! lol, walking in the joint like he owns the place biting people.....That day that burro woke up.....he chose the thug life lol 😂

[@FranklinJuniper-uh2lk]

Many years ago we took our 2 children to Oatman. It was a great trip, but temperatures were in the triple digits! The kids enjoyed Sarsaparilla soda and we cooled off as well. We took a different route than yours. Thank you for this video! ❤

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey no problem! glad you enjoyed it!

[@rwentowski]

My husband and I drove this road two years ago in our Tesla Model Y on full self drive. I was terrified of falling off the road but the Tesla drove perfectly. Met the nice lady working the store and making great tee shirts for sale. Wish I bought more shirts. Also fed the burros. We did the entire of Route 66 in Tesla FSD. Great road trip

Oatman is a nice day drive from Vegas. I do the loop sometimes. Vegas to kingman to oatman. Then I come out the other side to bullhead city and make a stop at Laughlin . From there it is back to Vegas with a stop at a searchlight gas station convenience store I like to stop at.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Sounds like a fun loop, I may have to try that one day. I always liked stopping in at searchlight, that little town has always captured my interest. Thanks for sharing!

[@petechadwick6261]

Cool stuff!!!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

thanks! glad you enjoyed it!

[@SurvivenTerry]

I drive there all the time. The Bavarian pecans are so dang good.

[@1bobbylarue]

dang! DJI did an amazing job in follow mode!! Good Stuff.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

right! it still amazes me how good of a job it does

[@kristymoore7052]

Ha, I have that exact same six pack. My sis and I drove through on the way back to NorCal from Williams AZ last year. Tired of the interstate, I was ready to veer off and found this route. What the heck? Very cool side trip. I had no idea about Oatman, nor Cool Springs. Loved the vibe and the “wild” burros.

[@joemanpjg]

hope you stopped at the General Hackberry store and Seligman on the way

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

awesome! thanks for sharing!

[@karenmays8889]

The view from the drone was amazing.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

why thank you! the DJI Mini 4 pro is an amazing drone!

[@Sgtyork488]

Incredible......thanks

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

no problem! thanks for checking out the video!

[@davidanderson2294]

When I drove this stretch in 2013, I was told I should stop at Sitgraves Pass and walk out to the far end of the overlook. On the backside of the hill were memorials. They were left for family and friends whose ashes were scattered on Route 66.

[@cavecookie1]

When I lived there, in the days before the memorials, we called that place the office; there's a flat rock there at the very end that was our 'conference table' and we'd go up there in the evenings to relax from stressful days, have a couple of cold ones and watch the sunset.

[@mp412cutube]

Love that follow me drone video!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

hey thanks! its an amazing feature and I absolutely love using it for videos like this, beats the cliche dashboard camera views, nothing wrong with that of course, but the drone perspective is amazing!!!! appreciate you checking out the video!!

[@charleslewis558]

I loved that spot. When I was there.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

its an amazing area!

[@FrankCarroll_Nevada]

Late afternoon, clouds, the sun dipping to the horizon are the very best times for any type of photography. Shadows, sun beams, and the workings of Mother Natures' light modifiers (i.e."clouds") make the scenes change quickly.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

yes!!!

[@johnnyfreedom3437]

That's why you always want to stop at the grocery store before you make this run, pick up a bag of carrots and have them handy! I try and carry a few dog biscuits when I walk around the neighborhood in My Little Country Town

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Good to know for next time!

[@uscitizen5656]

If you get to Illinois on 66, you have to go through my home town with Taylor's Chili Parlor among other places. I hope to be able to drive the whole route in my 68 Triumph Spitfire in the next 2 years or so. Cool video!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I will mark that down! I actually have family in Illinois too! thanks for checking out the video!

[@Jimbo-lk6kk]

Nice thanks!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

hey no problem!

[@jimvalentine2814]

Always will enjoy videos of Oatman. I've spent a fair amount in the little town. Also check out Jerome, that's a cool drive as well.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

thank you!

[@cavecookie1]

I am curious; did you live in Oatman?

[@jimvalentine2814]

​@@cavecookie1 Nope, I just drove through one time and fell in love with the atmosphere which caused several visits. Something about the region and the energy I guess. Have you been?

[@cavecookie1]

@@jimvalentine2814 Yes, you could say I've been...I lived there for 10 years! That's why I asked if you were an Oatmanite! It is beautiful country, if you can appreciate the desert.

[@jimvalentine2814]

@@cavecookie1 Desert? Most likley that's 75% of it. Plus the Carole Lombard and Clark Gable aura or mystic.

My best girl and I took that drive two weeks ago. Donkeys!!! You must do the Apache Trail run from Mesa to Roosevelt Lake.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Lol, already did a video on that. Did it shortly after it reopened 👍

[@genapazilli6674]

Great video!!!❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍💯

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

[@deborahg4599]

I drove that exact route and that mountain pass up to Oatman was very stressful for me. Narrow as the dickens and I prayed the whole way up that no one was coming down! No guard rails. I have a class B rv.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

thank you for sharing!

[@slvrktman7824]

Back in 2010 or 2011, at one point my Daughter-in-law was softly screaming, “we’re all going to die”…my wife agreed, luckily, we didn’t! All of the most dangerous looking sections were naturally the narrowest. Very cool place…glad it’s open again…highly recommended.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

haha, I do that too on certain drives just to drive people crazy 😂
