Am 85 years & my parents drove this road 4 times to California from St. Louis ( took highway 40 from Indiana, then 66) where my dad worked in the shipyards, Drove a blue Pontiac all that time. Mother would read to my brother & I from the Burma signs. Was 8 years old the last trip back home. Lots of memories!

@susanschmidt241 2 года назад

Cool !!! Love to go there !!!!

@superdave1949 2 года назад

Oatman was such an unexpected delight for my wife and I about 20 years ago. We were headed back to Laughlin from Lake Havasu and London Bridge and just lucked onto it. Then we missed the turnoff for the direct route back to Laughlin and took old 66 back to Kingman, One of those unforgettable experiences that happened totally by accident and that I'll never forget!

@marcelolney4213 2 года назад

92 went there..April it was slow..

@betweentherumblestripswithchri 2 года назад

We've been to Oatman a number of times. The simulated bank robbery and western gun fight was great and also remarkable how much money it generated to go to charity. Great restaurant too.

@kimberlyshalaby1134 2 года назад

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Sure was a perfect picture postcard day. Not even a cloud in the sky. It was fun to see all the excitement people have when they see the Donkeys. They are adorable. I think they thrive for the attention. One of the main attractions next to the Gunslingers. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day. This was a really nice day for riding the scenic route to Klingman.👍

OOPS! I meant Kingman.

@MrBpat85 2 года назад

Hello, My wife and I are French and we love to visit the USA, already 4 long stays. We did this part of Route 66 in September 2019 ... but in reverse. And next year, it's planned to do the entire Route 66 from Chicago to L.A., still in Harley-Davidson. Thanks for your videos.

@internetcensure5849 2 года назад

Your comment didn't get the heart sign to show appreciation from the youtuber. Maybe the US doesn't like the French that much.🤣

@denislanglois2799 Год назад

Thank you so much. I always wanted to drive 66 but the wife got sick and will never get to go. Thank you for this video my wife and I watched it twice. At least we got to see Oatman before we died. 😜

@stevemccoy8138 2 года назад

Back in the 70s the interstate was not done everyone had to travel Ol 66 thru Kingman. We stopped at all three truck stops that were there including the one in the video. It was a Shell ,The Kingman Truck Terminal. I think it's Crazy Fred's now. I 40 ended at Seligman, and didn't start again until almost the Colorado River.

Wow, Russ! Compared to your video(s) from last year this place was bustling, like Midtown Manhattan. And at least half the people pictured apparently have no idea what a sidewalk is for--just like those in Midtown Manhattan. 14:08 Pullout for the fish pond.

1967 we drove from Springfield Illinois to LA on the mother road. What a wonderful memory to have. Great experience! We have taken this route many times in our retirement the last 15 years and it is one of our favorites too. I’m so happy to see so many people in Oatman. Keep on touring and sharing the adventures. You do a great job. 👍🏻❤️🙏

@timpage8996 2 года назад

Did that on my motorcycle two years ago. Wild burros ain’t wild they got all the angles figured out!

@monkeybarmonkeyman 2 года назад

One thing about Arizona... when walking the desert you MUST always look were you are walking... there are hidden tunnel entrances which can kill you. Same is true in cattle ranching area... often the cattle will be out walking the desert and they use highways like sidewalks.

@1hasbeen531 2 года назад

Haven't been to Oatman for a while. Last time was in the dead of Summer, and crowds were pretty thin LOL. Burros were getting into the shops, and getting shooed away. Pure Arizona, right there.

@martycarlson4503 2 года назад

Hey Russ, another great video. Back in the summer of 59 I traveled that road in a rambler stationwagon with my mom aunt and 2 cousins going to Colorado. Had to travel the desert at night because cars had no ac. If you look over the side before the summit down in the ravine you can see the remnants of an old car or pickup that went off the road years ago.

I spent 9 months as a travel nurse in Arizona and loved traveling through the state. Forget the highways, the backroads are the only way to travel.

@betweentherumblestripswithchri 2 года назад

Just about a mile back up the road toward Oatman are some steps carved out of the side of the hill which leads to a small pond part way up the hill. It's feed by an underground spring. There are even some small fish. Really cool view from there as well.

@betweentherumblestripswithchri 2 года назад

I ment to say about a mile back up the road from cool springs toward Oatman.

@orionbennett7343 2 года назад

Russ ... was it Oatman that had a mule for Mayor ... or some public office? I know there was a town in Arizona that for a while had a mule in public office ... and the town ran just fine. Maybe that is who should be in Washington.

@spankroy 2 года назад

Ha, we were at Oatman last year at this time. My wife opened the door of my truck to get something from the backseat and a burro made a beeline towards the truck and grabbed a bag of chips from inside and took off with it. Pretty funny to see.

I took this route to Oatman and I rushed it, I wish I had had more time, I didn't even get out of my car....guess I have a reason to go back, I took rte 66 from just n of lake havasu city and then onto all those rte 66 towns on the way to Flagstaff.

@janetprice85 2 года назад

I love Oatman. The donkeys are so tame and come right up to you hoping for a carrot treat. There used to be a program where you could adopt a wild burro or horse if you had the land,etc to care for them.

@kennyw871 2 года назад

At my last visit to Oatmen, a mining company truck struck the one and only main power pole in Oatman. It fell blocking traffic on the one and only mainstreet in Oatman for hours. I didn't check, but I'm sure it was headline news in the Oatmen newspaper, if they have one! With burros comes burro poop, which you can purchase while supplies last, just kidding!

@vafunseekers 2 года назад

Very nice footage. I noticed for your dashcam you used a GoPro. What type of mount did you use to mount in to your windshield? I like your footage because you don't have any of the car hood showing. I have an older model GoPro 7 Black and will be using that next month when we go and would love to video as we are driving. Thanks so much and thanks for sharing your video. New subscriber here!!

Last time in Oatman , a young lady walking in front of me, bent down and picked up a Donkey " apple ", looked at it SMELLED it,asked her husband, what it was , he also,looked at and smelled it. I had a hard time not smiling, when I told them what it was, and, witch end it came from on a, donkeys? thank Russ stay safe

@barrybr1 Год назад

Thank you so much. I'm sitting here in Sydney, Australia, and reminiscing about my time driving through Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona back in the early 90s. I didn't travel this route but loved the type of landscape and thoroughly enjoyed your quality video. Makes me want to come back. Cheers brother. (Great music btw)

Will be doing that drive ( and a bunch of 66 from Tulsa west) in October! Really looking forward to it! Will make sure we have some carrots on board for the Burros! This will be about a third of the way through our 14,000 km road trip this fall to celebrate my wifes retirement on Oct 6! 😂 Mike & Ally

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Thank you! I’ve never been to Oatman but I’ve heard there’s a few old cars that ran off the road and old car parts (hoods, fenders) from cars that have wrecked. Is that true? It seems like i found a video of a guy that drove that road and pointed a few cars out or mentioned they were there.

@tomhorst7614 2 года назад

Traveling through Oatman once walking along by Hotel stated, Clark Gable spent one of his Honeymoons there. We even toured the Room. Bring carrots for the burros!

Since Duke the Alpha Burro passed away the younger male Burros have become increasingly obnoxious. We love to have lunch and a drink at the Hotel bar.

The east side of the pass is white-knuckle... too many drivers cross that double yellow line and there's no place for west-bound drivers to go besides driving off a cliff... I won't do the east side of that pass again.

@Moondoggy1941 2 года назад

We were coming back from Sedona area and went through Kingman, they said go to Atman, of course we had no idea of was in front of us, we went through the back way, unfortunately watching this is a spoiler alert. We were blown away, make sure to have carrots and gloves, the donkeys will not get out of the way, they want you to feed them they will cry if you do not, your hands will smell after you pet them.
