Hey, Hey, Check It Out, Another ride along Old Route 66 with our favorite traveler ,RVerTV, Russ,Yay 👍

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@Greywolfe24]

We have a generation that doesn’t care about our history. Just so sad. Our country is going in the wrong direction I’m afraid.

[@elvislovesme]

Right?!!

[@KevinDunne-si6if]

If you don't know where you come from how do you know where you headed? What came before us made us what we are.

[@TheShoutingGrasshopper]

Thanks Russ! I've done various sections of Rt 66 over the years, these videos are bringing back some great memories.

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@jesscarey7666]

Nice work, Russ 👍

[@Davybear-e1o]

You got a "humming hannah" ebike Russ. Took me a second to register...as it sounded at first like a lady humming. Whirring. Something like that. Thanks for the Videos. Parks -😇🙂🐑🐑🦉🦉🦋📖✝⚔🛡

[@dorisbanathy3423]

Russ sorry you passed St. Robert/Waynesville, my home town great Rt. 66 memories plus big military Army base Ft. Leonardwood.

[@alvarezz44]

[@msdebagain1]

ooh i didn't know about the KOA campground cabins! i love to drive but never thought i'd be able to do it the way you do. Thanks!

[@karenr67]

Bob waldmure was one of my childhood friends. He loved keeping snakes and lizards in his bedroom besides his art

[@kathleencampbell3284]

I don't like the big cities either, to much traffic now. Love those small towns, some have really good history. Have a safe trip. 🙂

[@rvertv]

Thanks for watching

[@sunandsage]

I'm almost positive that the track that you've been following that are supposed to have the 80 mph trains is Amtrak.

[@granvilledcosta]

Enjoying your videos Russ , I have relatives in Mo. love those small towns, and all the beautiful natural springs they have. If you get a chance check them out,you won’t be disappointed.

[@patalou7843]

❤I love these beautiful places videos!! The history is quite nostalgic!! I love it!! Thank you SO much for sharing with all of us!! 😊

[@SandraTheDeepWells]

Oh my gosh....we lived in Mt. Olive too. Thanks so much for these great memories. Chokes me up a bit. Thanks Russ love your videos

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SandraTheDeepWells]

Hey Russ...I was born in Litchfield IL. It is a great historic town. Very cool place.

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@susanboatman7913]

Cool museum in Lebanon. I love museums like that it kind of reminds me of the Henry Ford in Dearborn.

[@MerleGMott]

Thank you so much for the ride along and all your hard work filming and editing!

[@rickcampbell4920]

Thank you Russ, is there a book of maps with all the 66 sections? I see one section map here and there but one book of all even consecutive would be fantastic! Thank you!

[@rvertv]

I believe so

[@rickcampbell4920]

@rvertv i wonder where I could find it, does any of the viewers know?

[@patrickturner4581]

Russ your correct, Ashland WI. also had many murals.

[@gerinipe1178]

❤❤👍

[@Lisforpeace71]

KOA's are large w pleny of amenities 🎉

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Those murals are worth the effort ! Thank you!

[@Lisforpeace71]

Tiny town❤

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Wonderful trip on Art 66! Great stops Russ! Now you’re a little closer home to Arizona! Thank you!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏

[@claridee0765]

Wow, that is a very historic cemetery. I just googled it. Major-league baseball players and Civil War. That’s very cool.

[@Polaris58]

Being in Michigan, never realized how much Illinois embraced Rte: 66! Been to Chicago many times but never where you have gone, it is now in my future travel plans thanks to RVer Tv!😊

[@Lisforpeace71]

My beagle is from Missouri❤

[@elvislovesme]

How sweet 🥰🐶😇

[@cindyhuey2448]

Where you cleaned your camera at the Hick's BBQ, Is the oldest continuously operating hotel on US 66 in Cuba.

[@alejack12001]

Interesting travel in Illinois on Route 66. The murals of Cuba were very interesting. I often wonder what type of paint is used in the mural to keep their vivid colors and withstand weather conditions. I knew that the Civil War had many smaller encounters that are not well documented in history books as opposed to larger areas such as Fredericksburg or Gettysburg. I am glad you were able to capture this for prosperity. Saving the history of the first roads like Route 66 is dependent on funding. Many countries just don’t have funding necessary to maintain these historic roads.Thanks for sharing this Route 66 adventure.

[@Marcy.Duvall]

we do alot of travel by following RVER Tv! I need to order some stickers so we can start leaving them at the places Russ has taken us to by video! :)

[@goodoakpress]

Beautiful murals, however, Missouri was not a good place to be during the Civil War due to violent guerrilla warfare. Quantrill's Raiders was notoriously violent, and one of their members was a young man named Frank James. After the war, Frank, and his younger brother, Jesse, began robbing banks and trains at gunpoint.

[@Go4Corvette]

Thanks for the tour, Russ. You need to upgrade your van. My van has everything I need so I never need to pay for campsites like those KOA's. Saves a lot of money.

[@skyebird3933]

Enjoying the rte 66 ride. I'm hearing as we go along, Nat Cole's version of "Get Your Kicks on Route 66", naming all the towns along the way. 😊

[@thegreatone2513]

Awesome Russ again tnx for this video

[@rvertv]

My pleasure!

[@normaallred7568]

[@johngilbert1520]

Russ, love the travels but could you please focus in on the story boards a little more so we can pause the video to read them, thanks John & Jennifer.

[@HOBO3111]

Russ, are you from Ohio if so, where? Thanks from a life-long Buckeye

[@davidcrawford219]
