what the heck is that well mounds while we have the my mounds back home I have
no idea what all these mounds are they're they're pretty strange
it could be underground bunkers or it could be petrified Paul Bunyan number
two's I don't know if it's natural or man-made you net just never know I'm
thinking man-made like they did something to the ground and then piled
him up there but I really don't know all right
and all route 66 there let's go have a good day back on route 66 we go also gas
prices as I pointed out were $5 a gallon here in California on route 66 and just
about 90 miles away in Arizona it's half that it's 249 a gallon literally half
the price to stayed over that's California for you though and
kind of route 66 too so I can make it and not not fill up in California again
sound good yeah to me it does half mile down the road it said route 66 is closed
ahead and now you see this sign closed at catice Road and no through traffic
so route 66 is no longer an option but it does say that there's access to i-40
ahead is that what that says it's tough I don't have any service I can't pull up
maps I don't I have no way of planning this out I'm not gonna turn around
although I have done that lots of times on route 66 before I'm going to attempt
to just go up here and hit the i-40 access again cuz route 66 is not always
going to be an option not always obviously actually wait yes I
forgot I can't access maps through GPS let me just make sure they just
double-check that real quick yes we're good we're gonna go up here and then
turn left to go on i-40 and head on through to get to Arizona so I'll cut
back in with anything interesting on route 66 guys okay hey wait before the
road closed they did some work here at Roy's cafe they cleaned it up gave the
OL sign a paint job looking good and they might be working on reopening the
hotel I'm just assuming because look they repainted all of the exteriors of
them actually I think they're just trying to preserve it so that we can
still see a which is actually maybe that's even better than trying to reopen
it just leave it almost in its original
state so you can still look around I wouldn't trust that mattress though
that's for sure check out the bathroom
yeah it's definitely original in here
that's just tacky the way of a superior man a spiritual guide to mastering the
challenges of women work okay no air conditioned in here though oh cool
yeah none of them have any doors I guess that means they can't lock it up at
night either but there's nothing to really do in there that's pretty cool
and the cafe it's not really a cafe it's a convenience store gas station here on
route 66 thankfully I have the 80 gallon fuel tank so I can make it to Arizona
not everybody else can I mean look they're lined up for fuel look at that
price $4.99 a gallon Amboy post office cute little post office like a
one-person post office in fact I think the one person who works here also lives
here at the post office okay not everybody can afford a really nice
Christmas tree so this is your standard route 66 recycled Christmas tree uh-huh
its route 66 so just don't ask just enjoy it and here we are on i-40 East
about 18 miles from the Arizona border all in all the detour the route 66
closure detour it caused me an hour and 10 minutes
that's a long detour to come back off and get back on but I
he works out because I did check the pilot Flying J just inside Arizona like
I said it's 249 a gallon and they have a dump station so I'm a good stance member
it's 5 bucks to dump and they should have streaking water too so it's
actually a really good little stop travel stop on the road before we get
right back into it going up the mountains that's the Colorado River down
there which means there it is right there mile zero Arizona State Line right
there welcome to Arizona route 66 to Oatman would be this exit
right here and then going up north but like I said we're gonna go about eight
miles more and get gas in this pilot so welcome to Arizona at the Grand Canyon
State welcomes you awesome and what did I learn about washing windows when it's
triple digits it's impossible because as your squeegeeing it to clean it before
you can even turn it around to swipe it's melted dried on there so it's worse
now sorry it is so hot yeah had to treat myself to a chocolate frosty there at
the Wendy's inside the store since I did such an awesome job on the windchill
yeah okay I don't know how to wash the windshield Ariel needs more water it's
just too dry here it's delicious you wouldn't like it
don't need no stinking pool we got the Colorado River as our pool
here and topic Arizona oh yeah it's super cold I knew it wasn't gonna cool
down the second I got into Arizona it is gonna take a couple days to get to where
I want to get to where it's nice and cool but mighty Colorado River it's been
a while since I've been in yeah I mean air-conditioning is great but the water
kind of a natural way to just cool me down today yeah
then to see some donkeys today okay let's go up into Oatman that's fun
Oakland Arizona clearly one of the quirkiest places you will find on route
66 I call it now okay bill is this the cool spot guys this were all the actions
at do you guys friendly there they're wild donkeys that roam the town of
Oatman yeah hanging out with donkeys today guys oh cool oh you scared me
Western feel with all the storefront facades and everything
so if this is all of Oatman restaurant here similar to Tombstone Bisbee
Winthrop Washington in those kind of places
definitely touristy but they had fun with it it's all about ass asses I'll be
having a scape room here in Oakland that's cool
fast Fanny's I wonder what Jax would think tat one of these jackasses
I wonder he play he played just get right up in their face hidden me this
one's coming for me are you friendly
whoa
snuck up on me there it's a cool town I got another video from here where I went
into a lot more shops and stuff I'm not going to do that today so I'll pop a
video up here if you're watching on your computer you can check out several years
ago here in Oakland actually before we leave I still need a 2019 Oatman magnet
we have four magnets and that one's cool it's a metal one
with a cold beverage the Sioux City sarsaparilla root beer oh you wouldn't
like it it's delicious
well let me squash one thing before it turns into a rumor the road although
it's treacherous the road East out of Oakland on route 66
it's not that RVs aren't allowed but there is a sign that says vehicles over
40 feet towing not advised that's what it says so but still my RV I had to I
have physically had to go over the double yellow several times just to
physically get through and that was a kind of a white-knuckle Drive and I'm
glad it's over with it puts us here in Cool Springs cabin I think it's a
tourist trap but I'm gonna check it out it's at least a gift shop because those
gas pumps don't work yet museum gift shop
66 Cola it's a tourist trap worth stopping at I didn't need a new magnet
but they did finally for the first time since Anna Monica have the route 66 Cola
so I went with the black cherry which I know is already my favorite I've never
tried the blue raspberry version of that so I'll put these in the fridge and
enjoy him over the next few days all right next stop Kingman Arizona all
right we're in Kingman Arizona now very big part of route 66 actually and look
at this really cool restaurant mr. D's route 66 diner looks like that 50s you
know pink and turquoise it's a cool-looking diner and we're just
getting started here on route 66 it shows all the big names that we're gonna
see so yeah let's check out what Kingman has historic route 66 scenic road what
is this that's a weird car okay it says electric
on it possibly the strangest thing I've ever seen
that's from Washington to beard well sign in the window said that the Geo
Metro that's pretty cool nice work looks very
space-age made in Arizona it's a little class CRV made out of metal and they had
a Class A also and another magnet just like the one from Oakland
this one says Kingman on it same style well the museum closes in two hours so I
got half price off of my admission was like two bucks to get into the route 66
Museum here at the powerhouse this is a Prairie schooner uh-huh or playing ears
coming over there's no air condition that wagon early campers yeah are you
making there oh you're doing dishes she's doing dishes kind of messy campers
they better take it all with them when they leave I know you will guys granny
isn't your spot up there on top well there you go you can camp in a
Studebaker of course oh that's pretty they've got some very weird unique
automobiles in here speaking of the Mother Road and being quirky this was
made in 2003 said to go 70 miles an hour electric
ninety-three of some sort Mercedes electric and that's definitely a
rolls-royce your charger for your car I don't know about electric cars oh okay
in 1987 electric motorcycle I did not know they started I'm that early look at
all those lead acid batteries in there no no no strange random collection of
electric cars in the basement okay you know anything on wheels it's gonna be
related related to route 66 you know trying to think how I made it a whole
day without any food eating anywhere it's like 4:30 and I still haven't eaten
anything today is it just because I didn't find anything let's go find some
food and then I'm heading to find a spot to park you know I'll give Kingman some
credit they've got everything they've got historic route 66 or it's you know a
little more remote and then there's this part of Kingman that has everything
there's a Walmart there's a Golden Corral right next door to of five guys
and I just found the first Cracker Barrel on route 66 so far right on route
66 they've been so of course I don't know yet for sure but I'm gonna go in
and have dinner here actually yes my pluck it's dinner time and I'm gonna see
if it's okay at overnight Park because not all cracker barrels in the country
allow it sometimes their city ordinances against it and they can't do thing about
it but again they have RV designated bus long slots so that's cool I'm hungry I'm
so hungry although Jax has air conditioning
everything's cool and legit in here interestingly enough I was talking with
Kevin campervan Kevin about a cooling spaces with the air conditioner and he
would talked about you know just cool in a smaller area like the bedroom or
something like that oh it turns out with this slide in your your cooling less
square feet right so it actually is cooling better I have noticed in here
keeping all the slides in and keeping the bedroom door shut which it is wide
open right now anyway yeah okay I'm going
I did beat the rush here I beat the dinner rush and I'm not doing a burger
doing chicken right with these Sunday homestyle breaded chicken mashed
potatoes candy corn and biscuits with apple butter spread
you would like it it's delicious that was scram shish way better than I
could have made in the RV I love Cracker Barrel I basically got the okay to stay
here not really the okay but they said yeah
it's probably fine people do it all the time and we don't have a problem with it
and my waiter to say that that was enough for me to say yeah it's probably
gonna be okay sounds good to me so you know and I
brought home some chicken for Jack's also got a little piece of pie for later
that's horrible I know I'm eating terrible on route 66
