Route 66 Road Trip: 14 Days Driving the Main Street of America

I'm very disabled and won't ever travel. But I have had a great day traveling with you and your Dad today. Thanks for the trip!

I'm italian. I rode motorbike on R66 in westbound last year, alone. Best adventure in my life, I left my heart in this panoramic world. But most beautiful thing that I keep in my soul is the friendly and cordial spirit of the people who live along the R66, and that made me feel an integral part of that world, even if for only 24 days.

How does this video have 14 million views but only 300k people have subscribed. Tragic. One of the ultimate travel and adventure channels on YouTube.

This is an amazing insite to the 66, best I have seen, so detailed. We are from the UK and my wife and I have just completed the 66, (June 2023) we took 26 days and covered 2675 miles. We took it slow as we are late 60’s and it is the trip to do before you die, amazing people you meet on the way.

The best part is the father & son just spending time together. 💘

In 1960-1962 our family made the trip over Route 66 several times when my parents were moving from Chicago to Los Angeles. Each trip was epic for me and my brother. We got to see it in its heyday. I saw several motels we stayed in that are in ruins now. I am so glad I was able to experience as a child before they dismantled it. I hope it comes back in all its glory someday.

You forgot the Flintstones' park, but that was a superb job.

This father & son team proves there actually is such a thing as a functional family. Great job, great heart.

You didn't notice, but I was in the car behind you. ...the whole trip.

The vast and beautiful landscape of America isn't talked about enough

Oh my! Came across you channel today, I am a woman of 72 in Australia and probably will never experience this wonderful trip in my lifetime, so thank you so much for this wonderful journey, the food, the different architecture and history. So well presented and so very interesting.. I felt like I was on the journey with you.. brilliant. Thank you so very much for the history and all the great stops and museums. I am so very grateful for you taking the time. My granddaughter did a semester at Oklahoma University and after that she did some travelling around to Washington DC and New York and she absolutely loved it, before returning back home to Australia. Many thanks for this lovely adventure via Route 66. God Bless.

I m an INDIAN and have explored USA by road in very detailed almost all states, I had planned to drive through ROUTE 66 never finalised, but after watching your video I can say ‘IF YOU HAVE NOT DRIVEN THROUGH ROUTE 66 FROM START POINT TO END POINT, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN USA”. One of the best travel video I have seen. Your this video is a great service to travel lovers. May God Bless UNCLE and YOU. 10 out of 10.

In 1947 when my family made the trip almost all the roads were dirt and gravel when you got outside the city limits. We made it from Missouri to California in a 1937 slantback Chevy. My brother was 5 years old and he remembers quite a bit of it. We have a picture of the car and us.

You are blessed to have the opportunity to take this journey with your dad. Thanks for sharing.

Just re-watched this for a 3rd time. My wife and I are coming from the UK & driving route 66 in May - your video has been a source of information and inspiration. Your travel videos are excellent, thank you for sharing the content!

This has got to be one of the most informative videos on Route 66. Not only do you show the various sites but you tell the audience what to look for, interesting historical facts and just basic information for folks who may want to visit in the future. This is extremely valuable!

I am 60. When I was about 6, our dad took us from Michigan, all the way down Route 66. I have traveled extensively, and this trip is still the best trip I ever had. We had many restaurant adventures, especially because it was the 60s and a Black family was not welcome in many of the restaurants along the way. The trip whet my appetite for travel. I recommend all families take this trip with their children, although not too young kids may get bored. Thank you for posting this, as it brought up very pleasant memories. RIP Pops.

This is arguably the most detailed experience of Route 66 that I’ve found on YouTube! I live in Northern California and am trying to convince my wife to take a two-week vacation, rent a car, then make that trip from Santa Monica to Chicago. The food stops look amazing; I can tell your dad didn’t care for Bagdad Cafe but I definitely bookmarked Butcher BBQ in Oklahoma. And those museums; I want to check ‘em all out! But overall, amazing video!!

Me and my wife graduated high school in Pasadena. You brought back some memories. The Hat was incredible. I remember we used to call that bridge in Pasadena the Suicide Bridge. We graduated in 1989 and 1990 (pre internet). We really believed that most suicides in America occured from that bridge.
