First time I traveled the full length of Rt 66 was in 1952 in a blue 1951 Henry J. Dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed in Mich. when he got orders for Korea so we hit the end in Ill. and went all the way to the end. He had 30 days to make it to Travis AFB Cali. so we took our time and went everywhere along the route. I was 7 at the time. I now live in Kingman AZ., matter of fact if you had stood in the parking lot and looked north up Grandview Ave. you could have almost have seen my house. We stayed in some of the motels you saw along your trip. Those were indeed fun times of my life.

Thanks for showcasing our little slice of heaven, we here in Arizona love Route 66 and hope you enjoyed it. I’m based in Kingman, which is actually the largest city next to the Grand Canyon. It’s only a 40 min drive to “Grand Canyon West” and where you can access the “Sky Bridge”. I’ll say from oatman to seligman is one of my favorite roads to drive on in all of America.

Another thing is that the reservation you drove through called “peach springs” is the tribe who owns and operates the Grand Canyon: The Hualapai Nation.

They’re great people, not at all like a zoo or anything of that nature.

Great video Jason. Arizona is probably my 2nd favorite Route 66 state with Oklahoma. On my cross county trip with my Dad in 1994 we had Navajo tacos for lunch in Oatman. In Flagstaff we were there during Oktoberfest and had beer and sausages. Monte Vista was a great lodging choice. The Grand Canyon was celebrating its 75th anniversary that day and my Dad was surprised that I didn’t insist on going there, but this was a dedicated Route 66 trip and we only had so much time. Had pie at Miz Zip’s on our way out of town. Did sleep in the Holbrook WigWams and took the side trip to Painted Desert/Petrified Forest. We got up at o’ dark thirty to take sunrise photos of painted desert, but unfortunately they lock the gate at night. There was a Route 66 event being held at Two Guns when we were there. On a subsequent visit a couple years later I actually got my haircut by Angel Delgadillo who was semi-retired even then. I pledged to never get my haircut again, but that only worked out for so long. BTW/ at that time the Hackberry General Store was operated by Bob Waldmire, but we passed by because it was after hours. That is one of the most realistic things about your Route 66 series - you can’t see everything on one trip - because of time of day, day of week, time of year or just because they happen to be closed. Keep up the great work.

You would be surprised to learn a bit about those railroad tracks that you were paralleling while on your journey. What those railroad tracks are is the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Southern Transcon. That transcon runs from Chicago to Los Angeles. You may be surprised also to learn that the segment from Winslow Arizona to Needles California is aptly named the Seligman Subdivision. This subdivision runs from Winslow to Needles. The subdivision east of there is aptly named the Gallup, that runs from Belen Junction (Los Lunas New Mexico) south of Albuquerque to Winslow.

Awesome adventure Josh! Looking forward to next week. Arizona has cool old towns. I couldn't do the cavern. I can handle hights, but not closed in spaces.

Joker OneNineSevenZero - I’m claustrophobic and I have to attest that going down there is a little scary at first, but once down in the caverns you can feel a very strong breeze that helps settle any anxiety about lack of breathable air. I own a property not far from the caverns and it’s one of the only “tight spaces” I feel comfortable in. No matter how many times I go down there, the first 10 minutes are always a little scary. It’s well worth it though.

It's going to take me about another 10 years of saving but I dream of doing route 66 1 day!
