Historic Arizona Sidewinder: (191 Curves) Route 66

My dad was a high school teacher in Kingman from 1954 - 1976, and my mom was an RN at the "old" hospital. I grew up in Kingman and remember when they brought the train engine to the park. I can also remember when there were Stuckeys all along the road ways. I graduated from Kingman High in 1970 and was there before Hwy 40 was built. Lots of fond memories of Kingman, Oatman, Bullhead City, and remember Laughlin before there were any casinos. When I went to high school Havasu high school students were bused to Kingman. My dad and I did research on bats (yes bats) and we went into many of the old mines before they became tourist attractions.

Russ I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos for years now, I will give anything to be able to do what you're doing and just ride around and look at our beautiful country

My husband and I traveled Route 66 from CA to OK in 1959. Volkswagen, newborn baby and a bird. Hot!! I enjoyed your trip!!

Love Route 66 to Oatman Thanks RVerTV,Russ for letting us ride along .👍

Thanks for the tour, Russ. My Dad loved the desert he would take us out gold panning, rock hounding, and target shooting every summer when I was out of school. His last new car was a 1967 Ford Fairlane and he drove it like a 4x4 truck all over the desert if we got stuck we dug it out, great times. Take care, Mike

Very cool scenery even without a super bloom. Thank you.

Russ! We saw a few blooms! Thank you! And a couple of burros!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙

Last time I was on Route 66 was back in 1968 lotta memories that was.

Speaking of Andy Devine here was an episode of "The Fugitive" (Seas. 3 Episode 5, October 12, 1965) filmed on that road and inside of the hotel Andy Devine owned. Per IMDB "There actually is a High Desert Inn located at 2803 E. Andy Devine Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401. Andy Devine was a long-time character actor who was born in Flagstaff, Arizona, before it was a state."

I really enjoy watching your YouTube Channel, Russ! Too cool for school! I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.

Great Video. Always have enjoyed all your videos can't wait for your summer travels

For some reason every time I see that road it always reminds me of the movie with Lucy and Desi the long, long trailer :-) I know it wasn't filmed there but something about all the curves and imagining someone taking a jumbo trailer behind an old mercury. Just cracks me up.

Keep getting your kicks....... Very nice drive !!!😎👍👍

Lol. I enjoy your videos. Just like giving people a hard time....lol

Thank you so much for all of your videos. My wife and I are always looking for areas where they have lots of flowers. I like your superbloom videos. And thank you on your video of the memorial hill on 66 going to Oatman and for mentioning our daughter's name Leigh Ann that made us smile, Thank you.

I've travelled Route 66 from Seligman to Topock and on to Amboy several times on the Harley. Great views Thanks Russ.

Thanks Russ. Wife and I got back from our trip to Florida and back to California. Went down that route 66 you showed us on our way to the Hoover Dam, it was GREAT. Had lunch at MR. D's Cafe . Did the Route 66 museum as well. Was a GREAT visit. Thanks for the video.
