Texas Route 66: Secret Free Ride, Ghost Towns, and Hidden Gems

Route 66 in Texas is a captivating journey through time and culture, offering a glimpse into the past through its ghost towns, hidden gems, and iconic landmarks. Our adventure begins at Glenrio, a once-thriving town now frozen in time, offering haunting insights into the past. As we travel through Vega, Adrian, and the mysterious Bent Door, we uncover the stories of those who once called these places home.

Midpoint marks the symbolic halfway point of Route 66, a beacon for travelers and a testament to the highway's historical significance. In Amarillo, the Cadillac Ranch stands as a vibrant art installation, inviting visitors to leave their mark on this iconic landmark. Finally, the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo offers a taste of the legendary hospitality and larger-than-life spirit of Texas.

Watching this video has got me reminiscing about when I used to live in Amarillo, TX, and we actually stopped by and checked out the Cadillac Ranch before we moved out of Texas and into South Dakota in the fall of 2020.

The Humvee gals are going to see more business from this video.. They are cute as a button.
First time I've seen London smile that wasn't fake.

Every time I hear about a steak challenge I immediately think about John Candy in The Great Outdoors. Great video once again!

Thank you for saying the name of our amazing small town correctly. It goes a long way. And the flipflop is probably the coolest thing to be built in town ever. Thanks for the kind words.

@justinscarred My son and I have been watching your Route 66 tour so far. He's 4 years old, and after every episode, he has said, "Dad, I want to go there." He's really interested in older, run-down historical-type stuff. I think we are going to attempt a trip soon since he shows interest in it. Thanks for always inspiring. You've done your duty! 🫡

Great job on that steak, London!
Thanks for this series - I love seeing you tackle Rte 66 but seeing father and son together on the open road is something special.

Thank you for the outro serenade. Perfect ending for a Texan day.

[crystalgavaller]

OMG!!! They played tumbleweeds!! ALWAYS makes me think of the Big Lebowski 😊

[brianyazzie]

That's cool how you got your son to drive an actual military Humvee, I would love to drive a Humvee.
Love your videos. I truly hope to do this with my kids....

There is something special about this video that extra special is on the road watching Justin on the road❤

I drove my mom on 66 in 68, not knowing that it was the last year. for the famous highway. We drove down from Chico CA to my sister's place in Arkansas. We had a good time, but it was hot. Lots of gift shops and little cafes. We met some nice people.
