Historic Route 66 Oatman Highway - Cool Springs - Ed's Camp

[@randygreen8916]

I wish that Route 66 had not been Decommissioned, it was such a scenic., relaxed highway to travel on.

[@walterrdzukola8868]

I used to drive OL' 66 starting back in the '50's ! It was/still is a fantastic scenic road. Even stopped somewhere along the way todo some horseback riding in the mountains.

[@msr1116]

Russ....It's adorable how you say Yay in every video, like a little boy would, setting off on an adventure.

[@chrisr6157]

Hi Russ! Those views are just stunning! Thank you for taking us on route 66!

[@mac26x98]

I rode old hwy 66 June 1955 on my motorcycle, with it's Whiting Bros gas stations, Indian Trading post, enjoyed the trip and still like reading my trip log/diary.

[@dankennell6898]

[@jameswalker9002]

[@dyanjanzen2129]

Thank you for your videos. I hope someday I can visit the places you have been to. Till then I'll travel via your videos.

[@marty5859]

I really enjoy your youtube channel, the older ones are great. I can hear them better then the newer ones...Route 66 through there sure is something.

[@BradWoodbury]

Hello My Friend, I'm at home in South Carolina to help my parents with the Hurricane. Praise the Lord, all was good. My Fathers one of your biggest fans. I Gave him KZbin premium couple years ago, and he hasnt watched anything since. You're one of the favorites. Were having dinner chatting about you now. Drone and Camera are excellent. Be safe, take care friend!!

[@leann4925]

Awesome drone footage and sure must have been something for that road to have been paved. Loved the greenery. Thanks!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋Hello Russ! There were quite a few picture postcard places in this video. That sure was a narrow road, didn't allow for any mistakes.

[@JannaMontanna]

I’m afraid of heights, and I drove that road from Kingman to Oatman a few years back and it was so scary I swore I’d never drive it again! Thanks for filming it so that I could see it again without being terrified! LOL! It’s a beautiful drive for sure! And Oatman is a really fun place too!

[@winnabegobob1547]

I agree the desert is beautiful

[@dorcaspowellpowell5971]

When I'm doing house work I play your videos in the Background.

nice clean with RVerTV. too cool

[@jesscarey7666]

Fantastic job Russ!! I always enjoy some great drone footage!! Hope you have a great day sir!!

[@johnorchard9164]

Excellent videos especially from a cold wet day in England thank you very much

[@sailormanharry295]

thats a great drone has quite a range on it. cool

[@samjones3106]

I like how quiet it is out there. You can hear the smallest sounds.

[@genecappelletti6691]

Nice video Russ. I have a picture of me standing in the middle of route 66 at Cool Springs enjoying the 120 degree August 2009 heat. me, my wife, daughter and son in law were on a Harley vacation. There was no one else there and they had a barking guard dog recording in the gas station, haha.

[@rvertv]

funny stuff

[@gavanhillebold3131]

“ The Old Trails Highway “ later named Route 66 ..... Cool 😎 thanks Russ

[@Sewspcl]

Love how you wave to the camera! Ha Love Oatman!

[@hansenalmani7032]

Love your videos my brother... Keep on traveling .....

Great video Russ love the drone shots and yes the desert is a beautiful place.gary From Australia 🇦🇺

[@avega2792]

I made this exact drive in August of 2019. It was a great experience finally driving a section of route 66, but it was scary as hell once we got up to Sitgreaves pass. One thing I’ll remember as long as I live is that I passed a corvette coming back down the pass, in my VW Jetta. As scared as I was and slow as I drove, this lady driving a vette was practically crawling back down the pass and I passed her in maybe 3rd gear.

[@09meangirl]

We would make this run on motorcycles during the Laughlin River Run every year, its a beautiful ride up to Oatman!

[@itsonlycapnkirk]

Wetted my appetite pulling into Cool Springs but very disappointed we did not get to see more of it, like inside and the rock shop goods.

[@NBZW]

Correct me if I’m wrong. Ed’s camp was used to rest up and make repairs before starting the arduous climb to Oatman. Was still in use 1956.

[@newratitudetv7201]

Great scenery !

[@MrPolymers]

Did that exact drive last year.. Took some drone video at Sitgreaves Pass.

[@susanMarkle]

My son and I have watched your videos for weeks. We love them. On Rt. 66 I went to California and saw the BermaShave signs. They were blue and white then, (58 years ago) Also I saw black rabbits positioned on the distant mountains for miles. I must have seen 20 or more over a few hundred mile stretch. Finally we saw a restaurant called the Black Rabbit. I never forgot. Did you happened to see any or maybe they've fallen by now. Just thought I'd share that with you, plus a baby rattler in a caged box somewhere along the way. A neat joke. Will be watching.

[@msr1116]

Your sentence cut off but I looked forward to the rest of your story.

[@susanMarkle]

@@msr1116 You have to click on "show more" at the end. It's all on there but you have to click to see the rest of it. I'm surprised I even got an answer. We just love your videos.

[@msr1116]

@@susanMarkle .....Thanks for letting me know. I was watching on my Kindle Fire tablet but there was no "show more" to see. On my laptop now and I see the words, so I'm glad I got the rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say. Nothing like being left hanging. :-D P.S. I haven't got any videos.

@@msr1116 I'm glad you got to read the rest of it. We will be watching anytime you put one on. We never miss.

Planning a Route 66 journey once I have free time ie. retire. Your videos are exciting and awesome. Can’t wait to do this trip from Chicago to Santa Monica in a convertible. 🚙

[@jamesbenedict7206]

I got my kicks on route 66!

[@warrenscorner]

I started to watch some of your older videos that I missed. When I watch this I think of that movie Grapes of Wrath. Could you imagine riding this road in an old rickety truck with your entire family and all of your possessions. Yeah, it’s only a movie but people had to actually do that!

[@rogertinant5464]

keep up the good work and tx for the sticker

[@jwrappuhn71]

Great vid Russ.

Bought an infrared thermometer and case on your Rver Amazon channel...... Hope it helps any ..... Thanks for your videos...... Manny

[@muffs55mercury61]

An older friend I had years ago (died 1992) started driving for Greyhound in 1951 (the year before Sitgreaves Pass was bypassed) & he said it was tricky for large trucks and buses to slowly go downhill without smoking their brakes and a number of large trucks were lost due to brake failure.

[@ohwell2790]

I live in Kingman and ride this road on my Kymco like 200 I, not much traffic most of the time.

[@marlinmorgan8942]

im still watching

[@arkansastraveler7698]

Most of 66 is still intact in Oklahoma.

[@tazmod7272]

Howdy. Drones are so kool. You can see so much. Lot better than Google Earth. Such interesting country. Just think of the western history. I can hear the bugles of the soldiers and yells of the Indians, smoke signals, wagon trains, etc.

[@shinynblue]

It's all downhill from here, haha!!! (at the end)

At 14 minutes you are at the Cuesta Fire Agate claims and one of the open mines.

[@wehebbenogefkus6478]

Hi Russ! We REALLY love your videos. We are going to travel along Route 66. You are using a drone and we're wondering if we (Dutch people) can fly a drone in the US. Of course, not in a city, probably a Nation Park, near military terrains etc. We have a drone with a weight les dan 250 grams (about 0.55 pounds). THANKS for being our tour guide. John & Lizette from The Netherlands

[@rvertv]

sure can. have fun

No guard rails on that old winding Rt 66. On a sunny day it is ok but wouldn't try it at night.

[@thomascary4680]

Like the drone shots, good tempo editing and pace. Where is your base camp ( if I may ask).

I stayed at the El Rancho motel there a long time ago! How much snow does Williams get? Do they have mobile home parks?

[@tomanderson9872]

Awesome video! I'm curious what drone you are using?

[@MGreen-vz6yb]

Hey Russ I love your vids., How many Watts is you Solar Panel and do you feel it's enough?

[@NBZW]

Here’s an addendum to my last comment: Cool Springs and Oatman provided wrecker service to those who could afford it. It was a nasty piece of road.

[@gregdawildmanfast5643]

Taking a truck and slide camper doesn't look to bad what'ca think...

[@frankoster670]

Cool Springs has been around since the 1920s. Its obvious that no research was done on this trip.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

The road at the 1:30 mark is in better shape than most residential streets of the city of Montebello, CA which by the way has one of the highest property taxes in that area. Gee, I wonder where all that tax money is going? Some of the city council members were recalled in previous years. Hint, hint.

[@harleyhawk7959]

rode that on my Harley a few times. lots better in Sept. lot less peoples

[@dennis7511]

Where are the roadrunners? Where are the coyotes? Where are the rattlesnakes?

[@40belowful]

wonder what movie it was?

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@40belowful. If you're referencing the movie filmed at Cool Springs, it was "Universal Soldier" starring Jean Claude van Damme (sp? Information courtesy of "EZ66 Guide for Travelers" by Jerry McClanahan, 3d Edition.)
