Two Guns Ghost Town Ruins - Historic Route 66

[@joyouslily2982]

Agreed on “I work too hard for my money to throw it away gambling”… Very interesting side of Route 66 not often seen. Awesome!!

[@lloydbaker6988]

HEY ,Hey, Hello RVerTV Russ,, Fun Ride along down Route 66.TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.👍

[@CampingwithBella]

The mysteriousness of route 66 haha! Awesome video!

[@jaysantos536]

21:15 - Those were the "animal pens" where they kept small animals and also some rattlesnakes. Not sure where the mountain lions were kept but there were some. Thanks for the great aerial video of Two Guns. I've been there maybe 10 times and now have a better feel for the whole area!

[@javablues1678]

Anybody can say why they would like to keep rattlesnakes??

[@magiccarvettrides]

@@javablues1678 The same reason any zoo would. Tourist money.

[@lindamartin2045]

Thanks for another beautiful film.👍👍🎶🎵. Been a very long time since I've seen Arizona. Only thing I recognize is blue sky and summer heat. Take care.

[@jaysantos536]

Twin Arrows Casino needs to STEP UP and take over the care of their "namesake" historic structure across I-40! They should totally reconstruct the Twin Arrows out of steel or some really solid wood and keep them painted and taken care of. It's a shame to see the "broken" arrow laying on the ground and in fact...I believe last time I was by there (Jan 2022) it had been removed...

[@janeforever]

We'll miss the twin arrows when we head home to families in TX from CA. They were always a landmark for us. Didn't know about 2Guns but thanks to you we'll put it on our Rt 66 trips when we head W back to CA. Tkx for the heads up. BTW would be great if the casino would preserve the twin arrows so they'd both be standing side by side once again.🎰

[@richardl.7390]

The Interstate has killed many businesses, even entire towns. From your videos, I keep learning a lot about places I never visited like "Broken Arrow" or "Two Guns". On I-40, I stopped at the "Jackrabbit" Indian Trading Post. You can reach this store only from one-side of the Interstate, not accessible if you drive Westward. Next set of ruins to come, I guess. Meteor Crater was one of the landmarks I liked the most, along with "Homolovi State Park" (North of I-40) where there is a marvelous campground a few miles west of Petrified Forest Nat'l Park (Petrified Forest is a day-use area only, you can't spend the night in this Nat'l Park). Yellowstone has been ravaged by tremendous floods and will remain partially closed this summer ! Nice video as always Russ ! RICHARD

[@tericampbell570]

Sorry to see one of the arrows is down. 😢 They were both still standing last time I was there. Love that area! Safe travels!

[@jamesscott1932]

The lead on boondocking up hwy 64 works for me. Tonight enjoying 41 degree F clear sky. I’ll stay 3 or 4 days back as you beat the bushes. Thanks!

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "OH NO" "BROKEN ARROWS" I agree need to be "FIXED"!!!Be Safe!!!

[@schroedingersdog7965]

Thanks very much, Russ. The aerial shots of Two Guns were excellent! Glad you made it out of the Flagstaff area before the latest forest fire could cause any problems for you.

[@Go4Corvette]

Excellent tour, Russ. Thanks for your time and gas to do this for us all. Take care, Mike

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Was nice to look down & see you. Stay cool. It looks lonely out there. Flat. 👍

[@Lineka]

My husband and I went to Two Arrows, Two Guns (and the KOA building was still standing) and Meteor City in 2015. So sad to see so much vandalism and deterioration. I'm so glad we got to photograph everything when we did. Thanks for the great memories.

[@dondacus6669]

Hey Russ , Back in 1964 Dad loaded up a UHaul trailer and headed east on 66.We moved on 66 until we got to Oklahoma and then got on 64 all the way to Russellville, Arkansas. At time it didn’t seem special but it is now.

[@martinvandecarr1150]

Thanks again, great video as usual

[@aprilschaeffer7093]

Thanks very much Russ your wonderful videos are helping me recover from the dreaded COVID I'm home now was in hospital for 23 days. Happy to be home.

[@likearainbow7501]

April sorry covid hit you so hard. Well wishes to you

[@aprilschaeffer7093]

Thank you so much @ like a rainbow! ❤

[@keith01956]

Hey Russ, i’ll have time to catch up on all your videos because I’m on lockdown for six days I caught Covid. I also would like to take the time to say thank you for everything you do I mean I enjoy riding with you going to these places I’m not young anymore so be safe out there thanks again

[@IDNHANTU2day]

Glad you're out. My cousin in prison is locked downed also. He ain't got no internet.

[@billmccabe6188]

There's no true test for Covid. MSM lies about that. You may just have the flu.

[@potsandpans960]

Amazing stuff. I just love that kind of thing. Yea, if the walls could talk.

[@xstanadu]

Great travels there on the 40 ~ I’ve been to Two Guns twice and it’s always interesting ~ eerie and windy when I stopped ~ Did you see the swimming pool area that is consumed w/ Grafitti !! Lots of history there for sure and glad you included it w/ your stop ~ As always appreciate the road trip & the adventure of it w/ your commentary ! Thank you SIR and safe travels 🚐

[@jesscarey7666]

Hello Russ! Travel safe 👍

[@HRAnn-lp7yt]

I always enjoy your videos. I have family out in many of the areas you explore. You show some neat stuff and I like the background music.

[@gregpeterman1102]

Russ, I-40 traffic looks like it's deserted compared to what I'm accustomed to. That's why I like it out there, no traffic.

[@robertjean659]

Was lucky enough to see twin arrows when they were still standing. Another great drive today, 66 is my fav journey. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@1956curtis]

Looking toward the horizon I'm amazed anyone had the courage to cross that landscape in a covered wagon.

[@gregpeterman1102]

No refrigeration, fast food, radio, what else? Impossible.

[@internetcensure5849]

Desperate people can do seemingly impossible things.

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Hello Russ.. nothing out there ..be careful with them snakes 🤩.

[@beckyyoung725]

Thanks for the adventure Russ!🚐

[@sandua51]

Wow! Lots of memories! Several times we were at both Twin Arrows and Two Guns when they were still open. DOn't remeber gas prices but it was during Energy Crisis 1. Probably got up close to 0.65 per gallon!

[@nancycain4434]

Cool drone video, thanks Russ, Safe travels

[@jaybee608]

Very interesting!

[@twistedtrails8128]

good to see you`re actually flying your drone...

[@susanstrickland6774]

That's nice to see that history. I wish ppl would leave the paint at home. Those stone buildings and structures were made to last. Those were some big washes. Thanks for the ride along. 🙂👍

[@EdWood1st]

Hi Russ I’m a long time subscriber and really love you’re videos Great scenic shots background music and commentary Thanks for taking us places. I live just north of Cincinnati now but back in the 80s I tended bar in Reno Nv It would be great if you could get up that way There’s a lot to see and do not just in Reno but also Virginia City, Carson City, Truckee California and the Lake Tahoe area And from there Northern California has some of the most beautiful country you’ll ever lay eyes on Maybe you could get up that way Anyways happy travels Love your channel PS How in the world do you cover just your gas expenses?

[@Acein3055]

Great video as usual. Liken those drone shots and music. Glad to see that some stuff didn't get spray painted by the crazies.

[@birdman5223]

Good stuff MrRuss👍🏻

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Cool places of history. After watching Ernest Borgnine in his tour bus , got to wondering about his travels around the country. Video was from ways back as he talked about useful having a CB … didn’t catch his handle .

[@1hasbeen531]

In Convoy he was "Cottonmouth"

[@skyebird3933]

Would be nice if there is a Chamber of Commerce or historical society nearby that would fix the arrows. Thanks for the ride. 😊

[@skyebird3933]

Me again...how cool to see the 'ghost town' from the air. It's 93° in Ohio today 🤪 too. Puts me right there w you. Lol. That area still has energy from the past.

[@jaysantos536]

Actually the CASINO across the road that STOLE the name should be taking care of that historic structure!! They are surely making a ton of money off it...

[@pattylaverentz22]

Thank you Russ... Loved the video.it's amazing how far we have come as a people..... Stay cool !!!!

[@vencenzodemarco4393]

Howdy Russ. Having lived and traveled All over Europe, No. Africa, Mid. East, India & Japan, I'm definitely more Hooked on our Western States especially AZ. UT. & NEV. I Guess I will croak here. Thanks for sharing. 👋

So interesting to see the old places from your view point. 🌸

That casino is in the middle of nowhere. Monsoon is coming your way starting this weekend and into next week. Safe Travels

[@dennislesh2374]

I spent 3 weeks on the Navajo Reservation in 1962. It was almost 8000 ft high and hot as hell, so elevation has very little to do with being hot in AZ.

[@luthergore7698]

I lived in Winslow and remember 2 guns and twin arrows as a kid

[@TheFoxyb]

So sorry to see one of the twin arrows is down, sure hope they fix it. Excellent video as always!

[@wrs52011]

I have pictures of that place when it was still open. Sad to see it in such decline.

[@jaime65portillo1]

Another great video, keep up the good work 👏

[@deborahlewis5964]

I love those drone shots…… I see the RVER TV van and there’s Russ….. Hi Russ!!!!

[@shanecoker8566]

My grandparents told me stories about stopping at Two Guns back when it was open. They had a zoo and tourist thing going on there.

[@ChristiesThisnThat]

I love your visits to old Rt. 66! I would love for you to stop in Glenrio, NM and see some drone footage. My grandparents and my mom lived there in the Rt. 66 heyday and ran the Deep Rock station and cafe in East Glenrio (Texas).

[@likearainbow7501]

Russ Harry Miller used and embellished the story of apache death cave to lure tourists to his attraction that he originally named the mystery cave. That story has been embellished and perpetuated as fact for many years.easy to Google and so many don't check before telling it again as truth, there are loads of KZbin videos telling this story as history. I married into an apache family so I was interested in searching this story long ago. Always watch you and wish you safe travels❤

[@lindabrown2211]

Thanks Russ for a trip down memory lane. It's been awhile since I've headed west on forty. I use to look for the markers like the twin arrows two guns and all the other memory markers along the way to Havasu. It was kinda of like a clock on how long till we get there.

[@jackkridler5714]

When I was a kid back in the 60s we went through there moving from Michigan to Arizona and gas was 27 cents a gallon. we played there for about an hour so my dad could get a little rest.

[@desertrose9499]

How interesting. I don't think I stopped there. Maybe as a child....don't recall. Thanks Russ!

In one of your videos I'd love to see sort of a recap of your life. You probably have already done this but I'd like to know more about you. Were you married and so on. A little history of one of my favorite You Tubers.

[@strayaonwheels5690]

Hey Russ great video once again love love watching them. Just got one question. You have most likely mentioned it a numerous times but I can't find it what drone are you using please. thanks Ian from Down under

[@summerstardust2064]

There is a nice county campground just outside of Wellington, TX that has the giant arrows out in front. They're well taken care of and it's a nice shady rv campground.

A double murder there, or a neighboring trading post, Two Guns, in the mid 1950’s……maybe a bit earlier….to my knowledge it was never solved. I was told by a relative of the deceased. Think I will research it . Thanks Russ.

[@sandua51]

There was some sort of cheesy "zoo" on the location. Long time ago!

In the mid 90s my parents would eat at the Cafe at twin arrows.
