Am loving this series! My dad used to take me on a random 'Breakfast Run". We would leave OKC, drive to the nearest Nickerson Farms near Purcell, OK, maybe 50 miles away, for some pancakes and eggs. Well, afterwards, he would say, " Should we go to Dallas for some home style tortillas from the Tortilla Factory?" I always said "YES!" He knew the owner of the Bakery that made them and we would load up on tortillas, all sorts of Mexican Bread and cookies. They also had a butcher shop next door and we would get some goat meat and they always had some cooked up, so we would buy some of that, put it on a tortilla and make goat meat tacos. Sometimes we would randomly drive 75 miles to a Dairy Queen for an Ice Cream Cone. Sure, there was a Dairy Queen a couple of miles away from the house, but he loved driving that big old Lincoln Continental and taking me with him. We went all the way to Laredo, Texas a few times. Lots of great memories! I guess I got that driving gene from him, nothing better than a big block motor in an old classic car just eating that road up. Am jealous of this truck, miss my old big block Olds 442.

Ok, fair warning, thus will be long. In 2009-10 my first wife was done, left me during my 3rd deployment to Iraq. When I got back, I took some leave and decided I would ride (motorcycle) Old Rte 66. I lived in Pacific MO at the time, just about a block off of 66. So, I didn't want to take a full day's ride up to Chicago, just to turn around and ride back a full day to be roughly at the starting point. I don't remember if it was Tulsa or Oklahoma City was where I stopped for the night on day 1, but ended day 2 in Amarillo. I have to say, the little clip of driving out after Cadillac ranch really reminded me of just how amazing the landscape change was headed out of Texas and into New Mexico. You don't even need a state line sign to understand you're entering a change of area. Glad you and the son made this trip. He will remember this long after you are gone.

The one part that you said never breaks, is the only part that broke on mine. Back when a fuel pump cost about $5, cost me $27 in the middle of the desert. And grease will hold the rod in place while you reinstall the pump. Nice to see another deluxe camper special package .

I visited Cadillac Ranch in the early 80s. I went again in 2014. It is absolutely amazing how much the cars have changed. When I first went they were mostly intact and now they're enamel monoliths! Too cool.

Been watching this series and it's great. I've always wanted to go on route 66 but never have. Thanks for recording this. Sad though there are not more investors buying and fixing up those old abandoned buildings

It’s kinda sad to see all the abandoned service stations but the history lesson is awesome! You guys are living the dream. God bless you

Of course I am still loving your content and your honesty in showing ALL of the issues of the trip. The only part I don't really like is seeing the iconic American highway history dying. That is not your fault and is not a slight against your content. This really showcases how much we as Americans do not support small businesses. Mom and Pop stores/ motels etc. are quickly falling away and the back roads that were the backbone of this nation are slipping away into obscurity. Thank you again Derek for showing this part of America, sad that it is so rarely seen.

Derek, you are the man. That’s why so many people watch a channel! Spending quality time with your son while fixing that truck that keeps on breaking down on the side of the room while making a video about it, just seems like you’re is like you’re kind of thing and we all like it. Have a blessed day

I have never been to 66 and this part of the country...it sure is different. Thanks for showing me the sights and amazing skylines. Fuel pump problem? Oh well, the new owner will be pleased it's got a new one. Crazy that the new coil failed, nice job fixing it. Hope it all goes smooth the rest of the way.
