US 66 Scenic Byway Oatman - Bullhead City AZ

[@gailmiller5523]

I absolutely love Oatman, Bullhead City, and Laughlin area. Take my grandkids every year when they visit. Even the kids never tire of Oatman!

[@henrywardell4635]

WE LOVE RVerTV.

[@kieryfontaine7756]

Thanks for sharing Route 66. I grew up 1/2 block off of Route 66 in Lincoln, Illinois, on the north side of town. I remember looking out of my northern bedroom window toward the north on Christmas Eve and seeing lights coming in the dark. I was sure it was Santa coming, so I tried to go to sleep really fast, not wanting him to skip my house. Much later, I realized what I had seen was car lights on Route 66. Yes, Route 66 is special to me. Thanks again for sharing.

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@kathyg.5742]

That’s so cool! 👏🌸

[@gailmiller5523]

I'd love to drive the whole 66! Whoohoo!

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

You can do it!

[@lakelizard8145]

Can't wait for the Spring flowers! It's been so cold in the Midwest. 😤 Hurry up Spring!

[@juliebradford2999]

So peaceful, beautiful place! THANKS! Stay Safe.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Have my road tunes...The Rover is on. Bit of Rock and Roll keep spirits lifted.

[@kentmcconnell8581]

I remember the last time you were there and the burrows. I really like oatman town.👍🚐😎

[@aussiegoer]

I drove the oatman back road in a 30ft RV....she can be a tight squeeze 😉🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@TasteofRetirement]

We took our RV through that Oatman Highway from Kingman to Oatman last October. That was one scary ride!

[@jimbridge4166]

We took visitors to Oatman last Thanksgiving week. They were delighted with the friendly town and the scenery along the way. Highly recommended.

[@jerryscott8608]

The bloom last year was great, let's hope for a good one this year, as well

[@henrywardell4635]

BRAVO.

[@kevinp2820]

Hi Russ, Really enjoy when you take us up Historic Route 66 to Oatman. Beautiful desert views. The Beast is on the rack!

[@timpage8996]

Best part of Route 66 is the Sitgreaves Pass to Cool Springs station!!!

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Over the hills and far away thanks for the trip

[@susanstrickland6774]

That was a nice ride along. Camera is crystal clear. Beautiful scenery. Like Oatman, looks like a neat small town. Definitely looking forward to the bloom, very special. Thanks so much. Be safe. 😊👍

[@henrywardell4635]

BRAVO.

[@dsphotoscapes]

It would be fun, I think, for you to do a trip down towards Gila Bend, Ajo, Why, and Organ Pipe, and Lukeville for the incredible scenery! Seriously the most amazing examples of Sonoran Desert beauty I have ever seen.

[@liberated4947]

Russ what’s up buddy wish I could of caught you before you left. I bought some property out in golden valley right off 66 there. I haven’t been able to make it out there for two years and have been wondering how things are out there. See I’m stuck in Ohio but yeah safe travels buddy. Keep up the good vibes.

[@zrkn1]

We live in Golden Valley and the land prices are going up up up.

[@liberated4947]

@@zrkn1 right on. I’ll be in town next week. Going to Las Vegas for a couple days then driving to the valley Tuesday. Should be fun.

[@sweetsongstress7398]

Seriously? Come out West soon! Look me up if y'a like

[@roadtripdave6188]

You can rent a motorcycle in chicago they give you a map of old route 66 ride all the way to california. Siegelman Arizona is a stop for riders. People from all over the world ride the old route and fly back home. Everyone wants to take old route 66.

[@herniedog4641]

Poppy’s are blooming everywhere in the Hemet valley

[@traveldreamer4616]

I hope to travel the entire Route 66.

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

You can do it!

[@sweetsongstress7398]

All the way to northeastern states? Would be amazing!!!

[@denyspoyner4150]

The "Gold Road mine" , tried to get a job there back in '88/'89 . Primary commodity is . . .you guessed it GOLD ! ask Jeff Williams just did a fascinating video about some of the history of Oatman and how it was founded and got it's name.

[@milehighkit4725]

We have a Sprinter for our business and they are proud of oil changes on those things. Pretty much all diesels.

[@deetrvl4life875]

Thanks for this, Russ. This will be my first full time vanning Spring. I can’t wait to see the blooms!

[@Iamrosey21111]

Glad to hear about Swanties!!

[@xstanadu]

Guess what ? Road Trip ! Love it ! You make the journey so interesting and calm At the same time . Definitely have to get out and see many of your stops and road trips with amazing scenery . I live in Surprise , Az and have been to my favorite spots such as Prescott & Sedona but you show a side of Arizona I have yet to see . Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your road trips & awesome drone footage WOW !! Thank you once again , sir ! I enjoy every trip ! 😁

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@joycebarnett5813]

I was kind of sad that there the burros were not in town yet. They must sleep in late. Excited to see where we are going to go this trip. Thanks for taking me along. Stay safe and healthy. Happy adventuring

[@whtrabbit3852]

Hey Russ, Thanks for the great nature road trips. The areas you drive through are eye-inspiration! Please take care and stay safe.

[@russellramey45]

Really enjoy your road trips Russ. Great name you have

[@MaryB-ps8lg]

Love the desert any time but particularly in the spring when the cactus bloom. My favorite are the saguaros when they bloom.

[@brianbechtol7329]

Have you considered doing a video road trip series driving the entire Route 66 from end to end?

[@OddsandSods26]

On our first trip snowbirding, we did the Oatman - Kingman trip in our 40' tag Wanderlodge. No real problems but Sweetie did drive point in the toad, clearing the tight corners on the Kingman side. Don't recommend doing it, though.

[@mojavemike6522]

Looks like an awesome area to boondock for a few days. A lot of hiking etc. Definately want to see Oatman. Thanks Russ for another great video!

[@henrywardell4635]

BRAVO.

[@markbeaver5010]

Another great trip Russ, thank you for the tour and thanks for the oil change tip if I get a Winnebago View after I get settled in!!

[@johnallen2771]

Lived in Tucson for about 7 years in the '60s. Hitchhiked up to Bullhead City a few times to see some friends there. Beautiful country but barren as hell.

[@carltarajkowski5484]

Fiancé and I did this road last Fall but went from I40 back to Kingman..... such stark beauty

[@dramaqueen3306]

Beautiful video, the desert sure looks pretty right now. I used to visit Bullhead City in the early 1970s. Looked a bit different back then

[@xstanadu]

Thanks for sharing your journey ~ love all the scenery and your information along the way ! Very Nice video ! 👍🏼

[@woodykastel8034]

We love Oatman,, great Boondocking on 66

[@Acer4530able]

Nice one Russ, Bullhead City, AZ . See u soon

[@henrywardell4635]

BRAVO.

[@roadtripdave6188]

Enjoyed your live feed last night. You have Arizona down, great job.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! I'm excited about the road trip! Picture postcard perfect looking out over the land to the beautiful blue mountains, the blue sky, the greenery starting in the variegated browns of the dessert. Just awesome scenery you have to enjoy. Oatman seemed busy. The donkeys were missing. In a place where you always see donkeys, is that unusual not to see any? I enjoyed the ride over to Oatman. 👍 Tried to join your live stream, got to hear very little, the screen went white, dropped the entire channel, had to go back onto you tube. I'm okay watching channels like today. But it kicks me out(?)/drops me(?) the second someone makes a pledge on live streams. Sure beats all I ever seen. I don't understand it. Have a nice day.

[@jesscarey7666]

Nice work Russ! Love the drone shots!

[@jjjohnson8424]

Am I the only one who noticed the white truck almost lose his truck in the dirt at 3:22? WOWZA that would have been scary!

[@HiSteOfMnd]

Checking in from Hawaii 🤙🏽. Another great video 👌🏽

[@sledawgpilot]

Really enjoyed that, surprisingly pretty area!

[@danokitemanotoo1791]

Oatman looks like a fun little town!

[@robinscarborough8272]

Hey Ross you need to take me with you when you make that cross country ride!!!😊

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

Cool Springs was in a movie but it was destroyed for the movie and eventually rebuilt. Nice video!

[@artwalters6871]

Hi Russ love it when you go to Bullhead City and that area. sure would like make trip out there and see it again. I went 2 through 8 grade in the school up on the hill, it has grown big time, when I was there it only had 4 class rooms with two classes and one teacher in each room. Bullhead has grown big time was very little there when I lived there.

[@lindahoudek9855]

Very scenic drive.

[@dylanseaman5163]

Hey Russ.. another great desert 🌵 tour..Oatman seems like such a neat place..definitely on our list of sites to see in AZ..for the sprinter van service who do you use in bullhead city? Looking forward to your next extended road trip!

[@marzsit9833]

mercedes use a cartridge oil filter, not a spin-on which is why lots of oil change shops are afraid of them.

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "NEW" "LITTLE" Drone doing good "JOB"!!! Be Safe!!!

THANKS

Howdy Russ ! Next year I hope to go back to my hometown in S E Az. but would love to go via route 66 from Indiana !!! I would love to meet ya if your around ! Take care !!

Hope to view the Wildflowers this year in AZ :) luv!

[@hcrffi]

Always two 👍👍 thumbs up.

[@bcbconklin]

Hey Russ, there's a great Yuckdonald's in BHC, best coffee in town..!

[@BlazingLaser]

When I was eleven, my parents moved us to California. We came the whole way on Rte 66. First time I'd ever been west of Chicago, so you can imagine how AZ looked to an 11-year-old. The thing is, I remember 66 as a big, wide, open highway, on which we traveled at ungodly speeds (>60 mph! Was that even legal?) And today it seems like someone has, at great expense, ripped up all of 66 and replaced it with precarious little 2-lane back roads! The other thing I remember is that all across the country, gas was 23, 24, 25 cents, but in AZ it was 14 or 15 cents.

[@markb9347]

Bloom season coming. Yyyay.

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

Did you know why the Route went through Sitgraves Pass? Because water was available for the workers explains the man made pond.

[@JoeT.1960]

hey russ we have lived there i wish i could move back

[@maffosweetyify]

Great channel 👍

[@jeffreyrose5709]

I wonder if it would be a good idea to buy an extra filter to have on hand I would think any auto dealer that does diesel pickups would be able to do your van with the filter

[@LeonaRasalas]

At the area where the road splits and flowers bloom, just past Oatman, can you camp in that area? Thanks in advance! 🤗♌️

15:26 - that's why i am leaning away from a Mercedes. A mechanic who is not trained can do some real damage, from what i hear. Having said that, the dodge can be taken anywhere, and anyone can work on it. Please tell me if im right or wrong.

Hi Russ - do your Airtabs keep the dust and dirt and wet road slop off the back doors of your Sprinter?

Sometimes channels are demonetized against their will (censorship), and sometimes the creators choose not to make money, so no need to have a "like" button.
