We start off in Peach Springs, AZ and the John Osterman Gas Station.
Then we’re off to Truxton and the old abandoned Frontier Motel and it’s glorious sign.
Across the street is the old Truxton Station.
Further west we explore the Hackberry General Store and do a walk-thru inside.
Finally we get to Kingman and then we're on to Oatman.

Great stop in Peach Springs, AZ! In '05 I did a Elderhostel hiking trip here with Sue & Dave Smith next to the Colorado River! Stayed in motel on west end of town for a week, a fun adventure. Interesting AZ scenery, with Berts country dancing sign, the Hackberry General Store, overloaded with curios, and the drive to Kingman. Another fun drive!!!

Can't wait to see what the restored John Osterman Gas Station looks like.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

I can’t wait to see what it looks like either @linj638 !!

@LINJ638 7 месяцев назад

A lot of these roadside gas station joints on Route 66 need to be restored, not just this one. But the problem is we can't save them all due to its deteriorating conditions.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

The problem is the Interstate passed these town by and there's no money@@LINJ638 I think you should donate some money and help them get these historic places restored back to their former glory.

Loved the Hackberry stop...so many stickers that you couldn't see the cold drinks behind the doors! LOL

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

Gotta love the Hackberry General Store right @davidshull8929 ?!? And I've got a thing for stickers too if you haven't noticed.

Neat to see this but also sad so much of the history is lost and places are out of business. We are planning a Route 66 trip soon. Thanks for the previews.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

I loved Arizona on our Route 66 trip, especially Hackberry and Oatman! I saw Giganticus Headicus in Kingman, Arizona as you drove past. Looking forward to your Oatman adventures! Godspeed Jeff.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much @UkuleleBetty !! The Oatman Highway will drop next Sunday - it's its own video & one of my favorite roads!! I even set up the GoPro in The 55. Thank you for coming along for the ride with me!!

Great Video, and ride. I love Seligman to Oatman. That's my favorite part of the Mother Road.

New subscriber here. I have been enjoying your videos. My wife and i make videos exploring around Texas. We made our first trip to route 66 last weekend after watching some of your videos. The history along the Route 66 is amazing. Shamrock Texas was our favorite of the weekend. We hope to drive the whole route someday.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the kind words @HaveKayaksWillTravel !! And for subscribing!! Route 66 is amazing right?!? I'll be at the Texas Motor Speedway a couple of times this year - I hope to see you there!!

I took a picture of that shell gas station too in Peach Springs. I remeber going in to the Walapai Market across the street. I dont know why I remember this but the Market was better then expected and the bathrooms were spotless. Also there was a dog behind the store that looked mean but was really friendly. I also remember having some nice conversations with me and my son with some local Native American dudes. Thank Jeff. It wasnt far after that there was an old motel with a bunch of Datsun 240z parked around it. They must have been gone or you would have seen it.

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your awesome road-trip memories @jmark7390 !! Looks like you had a great trip with your son on old Route 66!! I'm looking forward to see what they do to the old Shell Station. See you out on the road!!

@sibman77 7 месяцев назад

Saw some very familiar sights that you drove by Jeff. A favorite memory of our recent Route 66 road trip was staying at that Kingman Motel. Before bed my sister and I walked the streets and saw that closed Route 66 Motel too. Up close and personal....at night! The spookiest image I took was of the Lo Chinese Restaurant you noted. It did have a pretty damn cool Marquee tho!

@jeffthisted 7 месяцев назад

Kingman is pretty awesome right @sibman77 ?!? I would've loved to gone to Lo's Chinese place for dinner!! Thanks for coming along for the ride with me!!
