This is a re-post of my 2020 Route 66 trip in compilation form with a new intro! Thanks to @TravelingRobert for the idea of making this into a "movie". This was the first significant road trip I documented here on YouTube and it was a terrific experience. I tried to pass through every town/community along the route - all 292 of them!

I can’t believe you didn’t show the Uranus fudge shop, always a unique highlight. After watching the entire video I want to say fine job my friend 😎

Seeing the abandoned schools reminds me I may know what it feels to see your school abandoned 40 years from now. I went to Hadley Middle School for 6th grade and that was one of the schools the city chose to shut down.

This is going to be great. I'll be watching since I want to do this next year. Thank you for the long video.

[Disastrous.Affect]

👍Perfect, I love these long form videos while I am teleworking. Great to put up on the TV while I peck on the keyboard. Looking forward to it.👊

[travis]

woohoo! revisiting the Route 66 road trip!

[wavebuff]

Wonderful trip! Thanks for taking us along!!

[johnbersuch]

Thank you for putting this all together for us. I believe with another 14 days you could have picked up many many more attractions.

[juliogonzales]

LET IT ROLL DOWN THE HIGHWAY 🛣 😊THANKS FOR THE RIDE 😅

[pawneechief]

I've driven past that meadow gold sign in Tulsa a thousand times. Them motels are dotted all over Route 66. Hard to believe they're still open.

[chriswilson]

What an awesome road trip. Excellent opportunity. Thanks for sharing. Yes, the Gillian Theatre showing the best Christmas movie.

Gosh this was a fun adventure 👍We used to take 66 to visit grandparents in Modesto, so we left 66 at Barstow I believe. This brought back great memories, the last time we went as a family was in 1970. I remembered seeing some of the places
Yes, those roads could be treacherous, imagine doing 55mph all day. My uncle and his family died in a terrible wreck just before Needles, in 1975 I think. I remember the reservations and seeing indians on horseback in their vicinity. Daddy Always drove over the Mohave at night to keep the car from overheating. We stopped at the last station before the Mohave and Daddy asked for water, for us and the car. The man charged daddy 2 dollars a gallon, a goodly sum back then. We would stop at rest stops, mom would cook on a camp stove while we kids ran around. We didn't have time and money for the shops and such, mom and dad would find motels with rooms about 16.00 every night.
Daddy told us to watch out for Sidewinders, he said they crawled sideways. We ran around trying to find one so we could watch it! 😂 Really enjoyed the spectacular drone shots, I remember those hilly, hairpin turn roads, and the trains that seemed miles long and were moving faster than we were. Thanks for taking us along! Stay safe and GOD bless 😢

Great trip video. Thanks for taking us along.

[sarahmoller]

Really liked the way you did this video. It was just like looking thru an album. I will watch this again as it is so interesting. Thank you so much!!

[johnrandolph]

outstanding..truly enjoyed! Saw a few sights I've been to back when I was a boy!

[PSJBL]

Excellent video. I like the fast paced style. Thanks!

[michaelgraves]

Well done Mr. Wise! I typically don’t sit this long, but this filled in a lot of blanks- and, I couldn’t stop. (plus it’s raining) 🙏❤️😎👍

[gazooberful]

i appreciate that you took time to back track

[roberteshaw]

Hey Coach.Some cool places. I like the Mojave the most. That terrain leaves much to the imagination. Safe travels.

[joycerodenberg]

Really loved this video. I really enjoy the whole video from Chicago to California did not realize San Monica was the end of 66 I was born and raised in California and did not know that Santa Monica was on Route 66

[BulletSpoung]

Your most enjoyable video to date. Looked like a lot of editing. Loved the dates and info on the screen along with all your drone video, very informative.
