I loved this one, too, especially getting a treat of Jackie singing “Take it Easy” on the corner of Winslow, Arizona. Whenever Jackie sings, it is music to my ears 🤩
This was filled many joyous looks spots to see. I would enjoy staying in a wigwam. The rabbit and that store was charming. The crater gives a moment to pause and give a meditative moment of being in awe.
we did go, but not sure it will be featured in a vlog or not. There's weird new rules about filming in national parks that I don't really understand. I'll post some pics of it tho!
Woo hoo!!! You visited my hometown! Thank you for stopping by!! Our drama class got to visit the set of Starman during filming. Got to meet Jeff Bridges.
I did not think those teepees were going to look that nice inside. I would definitely stay there. I didn’t know that route 66 was so extensive. It’s sad to see so many of the roadside attractions closed down and abandoned. But I can still see people stopping just to take pictures. I have seen a jackrabbit in real life and it is huge. I remember seeing one when I was like 12 and I could’ve swore it was the same size as me. I sure am enjoying all of your videos. I know I watched this before, but I never commented on it so I went back and watched it again.
I was born in Arizona and still live here , going on 70 years ! i have visited all of the places in Arizona over the years its a good time of year to visit ! Welcome :)
Awesome video!! Fun fact, Joe Walsh once lived out of my father-in-laws car back in the day in Canton, Ohio. They both would go out and play music together until Joe moved out to California to form the band Teen King and the Emergencies. Later known as the Eagles!
Starman is one of my all-time favorite movies. I remember my parents taking me to the theater to see it and was instantly hooked. I visited the crater in 2020 and couldn't believe how large it was. I wasn't able to visit during my last trip across country but I do hope to visit again in the future. It also appears that you and Sam were in Santa Fe the same time I was. Small world.
"I love your enthusiasm..." Don't they know who they're talking to? Haha! When you said you were going to the Meteor Crater, I wondered if you knew about Starman! So glad you shed some light on that classic. Such a unique performance by Jeff Bridges. And nice to see Karen Allen again after Raiders. Quirky, fun movie. With not much imagination in recent newer movies, it's great to go back and see the creativity of years gone by.
Loved this video Jackie!! Love the intro music, so cool!! my favorite was the Indian tent Hotel! So cute inside!! The souvenir shop was really cool. I loved the old artifacts!! I would definitely stand by the corner and take a picture that be so cool!! 😀❤️😀❤️❤️
So funny - we went the opposite direction of you during our big honeymoon road trip in 2021! Started the day outside the Grand Canyon, went through Flagstaff, and saw at the Route 66 stops and the Meteor Crater on our way to Albuquerque for the night!
I traveled route 66 three times going to and from Los Angeles. The differences were unreal. The meteor crater is my favorite part. Loving your videos. Brings back memories.
Sam standing on a Corner in Winslow, Arizona and Jackie walking on down Route 66 checking out that lad on the corner. Was at Winslow and the Meteor Crater back in 2016. It windy while we were at the Meteor Crater, my hat almost blow off a few times. When you pulled up to the Wigwam Inn, I instantly thought Cozy Cone Inn from "Cars". What a Wonderful Day on the Great American Road Trip. Now "Take it to the Limit" and have a "Grand" time at a certain "Canyon". Hope you and Sam are getting your kicks on Route 66.
I forgot to mention that we walked the entire circumference around the meteor crater in the late 80s, when they let you do that. I believe they stopped it to preserve the mining sites. Big Starman fan!!😀
My dad and his buddies road-tripped through the States in a VW van very similar the one at 6:07. He has all the photos on slides so I haven't seen them in a long time. I think they mostly did the western States. I recall photos of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. I'm not American so please don't kill me if these aren't considered "western", lol. I love silly roadside stops like the jack rabbit and the crater was spectacular.
What wonderful memories he must have!! Sometimes we can stop and imagine ourselves back when Route 66 was a bustling mother road and what it must have been like. So many tourists enjoying it still!
Aw it’s everyone’s vibe! Millions of people and families have been enjoying these unique places for decades, it’s part of American history. So cool to get to make our memories here too 💕
so fun! Loved seeing the "real life Cozy Cone Motel"!! And Winslow, Arizona is kind of on my bucket list- my dad is a huge Eagles fan, and I was pretty much singing that song before i could actually talk! 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing- keep enjoying it!!
Thourghly enjoying your cross country road trip Jackie & Sam. Too many vloggers are stuck forever in theme parks, but it's so great that you're showcasing classic roadside Americana. Staying Enthused & looking forward to what's next up the road. Safe travels 🖖
Great episode! Feels like we’re right there with you guys (but with more legroom). My grandma collected the state magnets you showed at the jack rabbit store. She got one for every state she’d been to (which was just about all of them). Looking forward to more. Be safe!
What a cool collection she must have! And yes, you guys have a lot more legroom hahaha! And you get to skip the 8 hour drives into just a minute or two montage! 😂 I’m just glad to have these memories documented too 💕
This reminds me so much of our trip to Arizona 7 years ago! If I remember correctly, there used to be an actual flat bed Ford on the corner of Winslow AZ you could take pics with. I can’t wait to go back with my son!
What a crazy thing to see the crater looked huge! I’ve never been out wet and was so shocked by the tumble weed and how barren some of the land looked. I’m loving your vlogs. Living vicariously through you guys
Hi Jackie & Sam, I started driving semi trucks in 1990. Twin Arrows was a great place to stop at for lunch. Meteor City was nice too. Most of these places had semi truck parking. Sadly, these great places to stop at are now in ruins. I hope someone will bring these places back to life again? Here's something crazy, where you were standing in front of the lone arrow, I use to park the semi truck slightly behind the arrows (I think the 2nd arrow is on the ground).
❤ love this one too! I did this trip a few years before learning about vlogs. Thank you for bringing me back ❤ weren’t the wigwams cool? We didn’t stay in there but did use one of the restrooms in one of the wigwams. It’s just a comfy tiny room inside lol😂 plus the old cars 👍🏻. I love the crater- crazy to find out the meteor pieces were found outside of it right? I truly feel transported there to that whole area. Keep up the amazing work and may you continue to have an amazing trip ❤
Route 66 was one of my favorite trips. Brings back a lot of good memories. San Bernadino CA has another wigwam hotel and the first McDonalds location if youre in that area
So neat! My family wants to go on a cross country road trip from GA to the Grand Canyon! I have yet to try and plan that 😊 But someday! Thank you for taking us along!
Try new things to try nobody perfect some are tall some are short and Anazona is where my kids are in this year part of the family of my close partners this year we just met in my Disneyland and Disney Orlando they are coming to visit and enjoy vacation to with me next time for the holidays this is Jenna Dabao had a great time with Sam today and had fun
Our favorite part of the video was when they let you film inside of the Wig Wam Hotel! BTW, Route 66 will celebrate it's 100th anniversary in 2026. We were in Tulsa doing a similar tour and they spoke of all the development that is taking place to bring back some of the original vibe in time for the celebration! We can't wait...
😮 Seeing that Crater in person looked like it woukd be so awesome😮😊 I think my Dad has seen it a few times when he was a truck driver. I know he drove all through Route66 a few times. The Icons and old relics being abandoned is sad, but atleadt there are picture to remember them for ever😊 This was cool. Hope y'all continue have Safe adventures. Take care 😊❤
It's so cool that you came to AZ Jackie. I am curious how you would compare the summer weather with Florida's when we have a monsoon. However it's so hot I wouldn't recommend it. I have yet to go to these areas, at least as an adult, and I am a native. We have never been to the Grand Canyon either.
It’s such different heats! In AZ my sinuses get dry and it feels like you’re just baking. In Florida I’m more used to the humidity but it can definitely sap ya! I love the heat tho so I’d rather that than cold any day!
Hi Jackie, make California your Final Destination, but dont make it the next state unless you have a schedule for D23 & Season on the Force in Disneyland up to May 4th! Then ya i understand! But if your driving & seeing sights & no Disney Schedule, drive up to Utah & visit the National Parks in the Southern Parts of Utah!
I love the Rt 66 tour! I have been to many of them but not the ones you showed in this video. I saved the Starman movie on my Netflix account so that I can watch it. It sounds interesting now that I've seen the meteor and the cafe. I have to watch it!
It's been years since I've been that far down Route 66...brought back lots of memories of trips to Vegas! Love your videos! Stay safe and have fun!!! Wait for that big drop off the plateau as you leave Flagstaff....it's a doozie!
Thank you for all the love for STARMAN! The movie came out when I had just turned 16 and it played for six weeks at the movie theater I worked at… I must’ve seen parts of the movie forty or fifty times and absolutely LOVE IT unconditionally to this day! Jeff Bridges earned a very well deserved Oscar nomination for the film and it was one of John Carpenters absolute best movies
I'm loving your cross country road trip series! It brings back memories when my family took a cross country trip similar to the route you guys are taking! Arizona is such a beautiful state and these kinda trips really make you appreciate the beauty of America! Safe travels guys!
I'm living vicariously thru your trip! My hub and I have been out west a couple of times. We loved New Mexico! Love Arizona, Colorado, and the Dakotas! Time to go back. Can't wait to experience Meow Wolf! It appeals to the artist in me. Thanx for sharing!
Love standing on the corner of Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see 😁 was there last year and heading to the petrified forest and Sedona Saturday 🕺 have fun and stay safe out there, if you are going to be near Williams tomorrow or Saturday,we will be doing bearizona , Sat, we will look for you ☺️
I got to spend the night at the Wigwam Village hotel in 1965. This was in Cave City, Kentucky. At that time, there weren’t any bathrooms in each room. We had to use the outside group BR.
