Route 66: 2,448 Miles. Trish handled 7 miles of it!

[@christcenter2296]

Did any Longmire fans notice this looks exactly like the town in the show at 12:59?

[@jerirogers8739]

Hey, fellow Longmire fan! I noticed it too. I know they filmed it in NM!!

[@johnweatherford5760]

As a kid very little kid I was driving our semi trucks and backing them out of the garage and warming them up for my dad before we would make a load so I could not wait to drive our wanderlodges on the actual highway so soon as I got my permit at 14 daddy let me drive 100 or so miles while mom was taking a nap. That was the coolest thing to me and very special that daddy believed in me enough to trust me with his pride and joy that he worked so hard for. That was my first time and been driving them every since. Y’all be safe.

[@pollybitterman414]

OMG!!Carson is soon handsome! He looks just like his beautiful mother!

[@larryputman6660]

I’m not sure we ever had a complete understanding for how it is to travel with Marc W Griswold, but when an inanimate plastic figurine takes its own life that speaks volumes.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I can't argue with that point!

[@YourFavoriteRealtorOhio]

My wife and I were yelling at Mark… “don’t go under the bridge mark!!!… no why would you do that.” Then you said you weee going back under and we both almost had a heart attack! 😂

[@cgdrider]

Get Your Kicks On Route 66! We've been up and down it a many times and the Wife and I are both Native Los Angeles Californians! Now we are Native Northern Wine Country Californians! Our favorite spot on Route 66 is Flagstaff Arizona! We attend South Dakota's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally every year since 2005 and for 5 years coming from Granada Hills, CA, (suburb of L.A.) We would always stay at Black Bart's RV Park and Dinner Theater for at least 2 or 3 days and ride our Harley Davidson FatBoy to Sedona, Jerome. Prescott and back via Oak Creek Canyon!

[@jackhandy3918]

tks guys now I know never to travel Rt 66 after seeing the most longest boring road :)

[@JimPopeHiker]

Trish, you rock. Total respect for recognizing you don’t want to drive that vehicle. Enjoy your journey!

[@forrestallen9155]

I just wanted to pass along a quick tip on driving a bigger RV. When driving down the road, in your lane you will see where the road is worn down more(lighter) from other truck tires and it is darker in the middle of those tracks. Just align yourself and the steering wheel to be on the left side of the dark portion of the road and it will help you stay in your lane especially at night. I hope this helps Trish out and she can be more relaxed and enjoy the journey!!!!

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

“Come on Gary, get your head glued on straight, Trish is nervous driving, Charlie got the poop scared out of him, Marc can’t keep track of the car and Caleb, well he’s being Caleb, somebody’s gotta keep this show on the road” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m willing to bet the car “rolling” backwards was Calebs idea 🧐 Love the flashbacks, crazy how fast kids grow up !!! Awesome as always 😍😍😍😍😍

[@KeepYourDaydream]

The first time the car rolled back was totally unplanned. The second time was Caleb's idea. Too funny.

[@Sperry411]

Oh my gosh, the title alone is hysterical..lol! Trish, you are a sister when it comes to driving an RV. I can only do as much as 7 miles..lol . Funny thing, I don't have an RV yet but I'm watching RV you tubes non stop. I tested drive a class A motorhome with V8 engine and it runs smooth like butter. I can't wait to buy it and drive 7 miles of it. My husband is already nervous and having severe anxiety.

[@lynnpappas4049]

This turned out to be a really funny video guys. The car leaving on it's own was hysterical. Then Gary loosing his head. I nearly lost it when Trish was doing CPR on a headless Gary. It was beautiful watching the sunset as you headed ever west into the night. It got kind of silly as the evening wore on but I've learned that's what happens after a long day of driving. This was a super great video guys. Sorry it didn't go well for Trish driving. A loose steering wheel can be a bummer. Looking forward to Gary getting his head back. haha

[@raydavis3471]

Oh Trish. Thank you for allowing your experience to be shown. It made you more REAL. I have sold my sticks & bricks and will depart with a 32 ft. fiver, solo, later this year, (haven't pulled it yet). My previous experience was with a 16 ft. TT in 1979 when I headed out full time. So, I whole heartedly relate to your recent experience as I attempt to reassure myself that it will be OK. PS. I stayed in a KOA, in Selma NC, 1979 with full hookups for $7.35 per night !

[@traveler320ak7]

It takes a really strong person to just say No!! Good for you Trish!!

[@loriwieder8115]

It's important to know your limitations. Old units like this are exhausting. You are correcting and over correcting all the time. I had a 37 ft class A over 24 years ago. We had to install a steer straight product but driving was exhausting.

[@karlareynolds8932]

OMG...there was so much going on in this video...so help me! I always look forward to yall's videos, and laugh out loud often. BUT this video...Gary loosing his head ....I almost lost it! And then Trish preforming CPR on Gary, a valiant effort I must say! And Mark's reaction as the car was rolling away....LOL! Thank you for always making it fun!

[@carolburks5918]

Well we didn't fair so well with the Graffiti bridge on 17th Ave in Pensacola, FL! Lost the A/C unit on our Class A rental, and ended up in Milton for 6 weeks waiting to get it repaired. Bridge is infamous in the area for some such accidents. There was no sign giving the height, and the sign "Low Bridge" was covered with graffiti. We met many RVers as they came and went from the campground. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. And before the pandemic! Such is life! It made for interesting and entertaining fodder for my husband's travel blog for the folks back home and around the world. ;) HA! And I just remembered we got 26" of snow within hours of returning it when we got home!! Like Tricia, we were so glad to get home!

[@janetsmith4344]

Poor Gary! No shame in needing to get used to a loose steering wheel, it’s upright and big and loose. I took our rig out on our small country roads to learn its feel. Plus our Expedition can really book it, I have to watch it’s speed. One day we will do Rt. 66. Currently parked at our daughters’ house until I graduate with a Masters in Nursing. Can’t wait to hit the road again in May.

[@1seahawklvr]

We took a trip July 2020 with 5 of our grandchildren from St. Louis, Missouri to Washington State. We hit a lot of the attractions on Route 66 and this was one of them. Great memories…

[@stst9185]

Omgosh....I literally peed my pants laughing!!!! First of all.....I've been with you guys since episode one! So thank you for those flash backs!! Precious! That low bridge...Mark...."we're definitely more than 11' 2"??? ". I just could not stop laughing!!! Another classic....right up there with the poop hose dragging down the road! Trish....you did real good trying to drive that thing honey!! Proud of you! And that Airstream/Daydream reflection! Spectacular!

[@kimherben7866]

Kudos to Tricia for trying and being a responsible driver. It is super stressful to drive under the blanket of fear - no bueno. The first I would have to have would be a booster seat (I am down to 5'). It is a climb into our Ford 250 (Trailer pkg.), but once in the seat, I can adjust the pedals, seat, steering wheel, mirrors & radio to drive safely and happily. I love to shop for Turquoise jewelry at Governor's Plaza from the locals. Tell Gary it isn't worth losing his head over...!

[@truck93]

There is a lot of Route 66 things in Albuqueruque. There is infact a Lumber Jack style of statue the same as Gary. As a Albuqueruqe resident we would take a drive out on Route 66 and drive down the musical highway, it was cool, just roll down the windows and it is easly heard.

[@aaronrogers4759]

Great CPR Tricia! I am sure Gary will make a full recovery.

[@robertosgood961]

We totally understand Trish your reluctance to drive the bird on a highway. We have a 1989 Fleetwood class a that steers in a similar fashion. However, the big Ford 460 block gives us plenty of heat! LOL great video

Trish, when you are driving the Bird, your left knee should line up with the centerline. Just keep that thought and you will get comfortable with your position in your lane

That old car reminded me that my grandmother drove from Killeen, Texas to Phoenix to Corvallis, Oregon BY HERSELF in a Model A convertible at the age of 16. She was following my grandfather from base to base as he trained in WWII before he went overseas. She has a lot of good stories about it.

[@paulkrause6072]

We just returned from a four and a half trip, covering much of the same route, and I have to say this episode epitomizes "a day in the life" of an RVer. The highs, (finding what you have looked forward to - Winslow) the lows, (what you wanted to see is closed or the wait is long) the unknown, (I think our height is good????) meeting great people, (we sold our home and will find out what comes next) pushing too long and being too tired when you have to, and THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Gary's CPR was the funniest thing you have ever done!!!

I also hated driving my dads 45 foot Class A . He kept saying the same thing watch the white line in the mirror and I kept saying “ if I’m watching the white line, I’m not watching the road!” For me it wasn’t that the motorhome was so large, it was that there was no nose in front of me to use as a guide. You did right Trish by pulling over, you kept everyone safe.

Hi Marc and Trish! Love watching your videos. Wanted to let you know about the AED app because of Trish’s heart condition. It will show you all of the AED machines wherever you are. Every building is supposed to have one. When you’re traveling it’s a good way to know where the nearest one is!

Poor Gary losing his head, I couldn't believe it! lol No reviving Gary until his head is back on Trish, which I hope is soon. Beautiful scenery, love seeing the flashbacks, your silly evening-aren't we all like that when we are tired?? Just loved everything, but then I always do. You guys always leave us wanting more and waiting breathlessly for the next episode. This Rt 66 series has been so fun, thanks for always taking us along. Trish, hopefully you will be able to drive the Bird when not so much is happening on the road, I'm sure it is just getting used to the feel and where things need to be to be in the center of your lane. I'm in awe of you anyway because I doubt I would have even tried! Hugs, Brenda

[@mikependergrass308]

LOL, Trish I totally understand. I’ve driven I don’t know how many trucks and buses and some can be “a lot of fun”…. and I drive for a living. Let me guess,…. “the Bird” has some fun play in the steering wheel. Don’t give up, just keep working at it.

[@wandaheaps8758]

I am 76 yrs old. I remember going to the petrified Forrest when I was about 13 yrs old. I could not understand the idea of being petrified. Nice to see it thru you these may years later.

[@Mary-fq6sm]

All that play in the steering wheel. 😨 My first car, a ‘73 VW Kharmin Ghia, had loose steering like that; I had to turn the wheel a third of its revolution to make the tiniest adjustment, then another third of the way back around to “catch” the steering momentum. That’s a scary feeling. Trish I relate to your apprehension. Your videos are always great fun, & I appreciate what you do. I give major kudos for your patience in this vintage rig. Honestly I would’ve tapped out by now. I know Marc loves the Bird, but it needs major upgrades, refurbs & modifications to be interstate worthy & travel comfy. Best of luck to y’all. I’ll be relieved when you’re back in the Airstream.

I’m watching tonight’s episode and noticed what looked like too much play in the steering when Trish was driving the bird. I’m not a mechanic by trade but have owned many old American cars that I restored and drove. The one common thing I found on these cars was worn gears in the steering box a simple adjustment was all it needed. Just some food for thought. From a big fan of your show, Mr G.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's true and you're right, but with some practice, I lock it in and keep my elbows on the arm rest. Free handing it with wind can be a bit tricky.
