Hello from Puerto Rico Russ , in 2019 we went to Las Vegas , Hoover dam , Oatman and part of the 66 then to north , monument valley, Page , Moab , Arches , Moki Dawgway and others, thanks for your excellent information of that places ,
Hi Russ, what a ride. Down by that burro you stopped at on the way to Oatman is a place we used to go swimming. Up under those trees. I used to work as an assayer there at the Goldroad Mine. There are actually tunnels under 66. One night on break i was out watching this 48' semi come down that hill. Let's say my break lasted longer then expected; we were all out watching him. He made it. That hairpin he backed up and pulled forward a few times. Great journey!
Russ, I'll be in Outman in a couple weeks; thanks to you. I didn't know this place existed until I saw your videos. I hope I get to feed the Federal Burros of Investigation.
I always dream about heading out and exploring the southwest. I don’t because I can’t afford it and I don’t care about going alone. But!!! As I sit her watching your videos with the perfect music and drone footage I realize that I’m actually seeing more than I would from the road! Plus saving gas money!! I do want to pet a donkey though! Eat some good food, drink some wine and watch an Arizona sunset! Thanks for sharing Russ. 🌵 🎶 🍷
Hey Russ, most of the cactus have bloom around here, Yucca. We have tons of color currently going. We uploaded a few video shorts. Stop by anytime when your around Yucca. I'll give you a tour.
I never get tired of this area and to see drone footage are views that many people have never seen. This country has such a variety of landscapes. Desert mountain areas with old roads like "66" are classics. Brought to you by R'ver TV. Too cool, lol. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
When you aim the camera on your drone straight down, I almost get dizzy and hold onto the arms of my chair out of fear ... lol ! Gawd, your drone views are awesome, Russ. I have stopped several times in Seligman (at the Shell gas station along I-40 and at the KOA campground) but Oatman is a place I still have to go after 15 visits, maybe next year. RICHARD
Hey Russ great video again. Love the old Oatman When I was in the USA in 2017 I was hoping to visit one of theses old towns but never got around to doing it, looks like I might have to start looking at doing another trip this time I might do a Road trip since the Kids have growing up and won't be coming this time won't have to spend all my money on them at Disneyland and the amusement parks....lol
@@rvertv i am thinking when you filmed this, the sign said welcome bikers. i know horses are fearful of the loud motorcycles, so i think that might have something to do with no burrows. that's another neat part of Oatman,
Hi Russ ..I was just there on rt 66 I went to Siligman and I'm at Grand Canyon staying on area 302 its beautiful free camping in the forest...save trucking 🤗
I was through this area 50 years ago when it was more alive just a li' bit-spiffier, let's say-but the old stuff might have been scruffier back then than today. So good for 'em on that. A young man evaluates things different than a geezer. Anyway, it's on my list now. Maybe this fall. I think your channel has some of the best, most thoughtful motor touring videography on UA-cam.

Boy that's nice to have the van home, and stay over when you want. No bloom. Ty for trying. Hopefully AZ gets some rain. Hate the fires. Excellent drone footage. Beautiful drive to Oatman. Like the burrows, and that town has a lot of history. Glad when old building are saved. Ty again. 🙂👍
Hi Russ, I enjoyed your videos. One day you could showcase Bullhead City. Bullhead City have some great parks. There is the Rotary Park. It's big with a beach, walking paths, soccer & baseball fields just to name a few activities. There is Veterans Memorial park too. And of course the Colorado River.
That road from Kingman to Oatman is terrible and nerve-wracking. Its a road I will never take. I'll go from the westside up, its much much better. Thanks for stopping and showing Oatman. I risked the drive to Oatman and my husband didn't want to stop. I was soooo mad after that darn drive.
Beautiful location and one of the best drives on Route 66 it’s crazy how you can see old cars smashed off the mountains one of them is across from the active mine. Great video
I lived in Oatman in the 90s...looks a lot like it did then, but there are some new additions. Finally making things a little more accessible, and some new construction. thanks, enjoyed seeing my old town!
My brother has lived in Bullhead City for 30 years and I have been up Silver Creek so many times to get up there I can't count. Very cool place just to get something to drink while 4×4ing old miner roads like we do. But when you go up there you have to go over Sitgreaves Pass and go to Cool Springs. It is cool too.
Yours are the first videos I watched, maybe one or two years. I LOVE burros. I get nostalgic. Can't locate my friend, I showed him your videos and he started watching, loved your videos. He moved closer to be near his son & haven't heard from him. He was 76, Viet Nam vet & I think he passed. Wonder if Vets admin would know. I'm 66, feels like getting old/ no one cares too much about old timers 🙄 There was a SCARY movie that was in desert, The CAR, so scary! Good to see you on UA-cam
10:20 wow great view of deadman's curve... and the grave markers. never counted but there is a lot. you can really see how the old 66 road that's just dirt now went and turned so sharp with such a cliff... I've walked that. thanks for the view.
Thank you for a VERY ENTERTAINING and informative tour. And all this time i was lying in a clean cool room. Fantastic best of both worlds. I went back and watched your video from 2 years ago at the Shaffer Pond in the middle of this. SO COOL!!.
I ran across your channel by accident and I'm loving it. Your commentary is addicting in a beautiful way. Going through all your channels and enjoying every second of it. Big thanks.
I have been to Oatman years ago. Many young burros there with curly fur. And a sticker on them with "don't feed me", but they even entered the shops to beg for good.
Great videos, you meant I-40, not I-10. We retired from CA to AZ, and go to Oatman a lot. We live like 30 min from there in Fort Mohave. Weekends it is crowded.
We love your channel, and even travel a lot in your footsteps :o) One question though… you don’t do your own oil changes? I own 3 diesels and other that the timing belt service etc… I do most services myself. If you have a hard time getting under the van or car, these days they have those vacuum pumps that suck the oil in like 10 minutes. Hihi… just saying, you look so handy, and you can save a ton of money! The dealer charges us $399 (with coupon) for an oil change, I do it for 60 with the correct oil and filter, etc… Anyway, love your channel, the kids are also looking forward each time there is a new video :o) Last trip we did was Page, Kanab, Bryce Canyon, etc… other than the closer to home like Prescott and such… Blessings!
I took that route (coming from the other direction) when I visited a little stretch from lake havasu up to flagstaff, I really wanted to visit Oatman...next time I'm actually going to get out! lol...I didn't have a lot of time...I thought I've been seeing LOTS Of bloom near Phoenix...maybe just not near Oatman? Either way, I go picture crazy! Thanks for the vid, love seeing all the different vids on places I've been as well as places I'd like to go!
Just came from Oatman a great little town, here is a note look at the road 66 on Google maps there is a RVer with looks to be a 40 ft travel trailer on one of the switchback.
Last video I watched in Oatman it was crowded with people and the were dozens of Burros in the street. Where were the burros this time on your visit??!
Goldfish?? LOL Thanks for all your vids, love them all. What are those birds? Your Mic picks them up very well. lol Did you notice the new centetlines? 😁
13:50 if u would take the car's out of this picture u make it in black n white or even not you 100% would think it's somewhere in the old west of America eh mate, anyway cheers from nsw.
Never get tired of old Route 66 yeah☮️🌵
Oatman is a fun town to visit and explore.
I retired out there in Golden Valley one mile north of 66. I love the beautiful scenery in the desert and the mountains! 😎
Oatman. Sounds cool! Bring on more Route 66 👋🏼🇨🇦
More to come!
WE LOVE RVerTV - BEST TV ON UA-cam.

@6:40, was that the _Burro of Land Management_ ?
@@brucesmith9144 Still laughing!!!

Russ, I'll be in Outman in a couple weeks; thanks to you. I didn't know this place existed until I saw your videos. I hope I get to feed the Federal Burros of Investigation.
Wow!!! That was some awesome scenery of the Old West. Doesn't get better than that.
You got that right!
Thank you so much I just love their Route 66 always wanted to travel the Mother Road

You can go with me next year.
Just a month ago I drove this road….love it 🚗🚗🚗❤️❤️
Thank you again for showing me places I want to go! I only live a few hours away...
You are so welcome!
I enjoyed this episode of What is Oatman Arizona Famous For? Good old Oatman AZ. Love it! Looking forward to rolling into town again sometime soon.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey, Hey , It's RVerTV Russ Heading down Route 66 Awesome. 👍
Hey Russ, most of the cactus have bloom around here, Yucca. We have tons of color currently going. We uploaded a few video shorts. Stop by anytime when your around Yucca. I'll give you a tour.
Hi Russ, @ 4:48, Glad to see your cameo appearance via drone footage! Thanks for sharing Oatman, AZ with us. Cheers!
Probably feels nice during summer at 3000+ feet elevation in Arizona. 🌵🌞🤠
Its now on my travel list for AZ. Thanks for the quick tour Russ,
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the video Russ 👍
My pleasure!!
Very nice ride down old 66, and an excellent tour of the old town Russ, Take care, Mike

Thanks!
thank you for the Super Thanks !! that really helps for future travel video... Thanks again
Definitely got my kicks watching RV’er TV 📺 on Route 66. The Arizona Sidewinder looks like a great ride on a motorcycle.
Very cool!
Thanks for the ride today on one of my favourite roads. Top stuff Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Great video Russ hope to be there someday when I can travel again still lots of doctors to see but enjoy watching you go gives me hope
Best of luck!
I remember your video showing the mountain spring last year. It's a good one.😊👍👍I'm glad Oatman survived!
Thanks, enjoyed the views thank goodness this area is surviving
Just had a friend come back from a trip (from Ohio) to CA via rte66. Thanks for taking us along on these routes.
Hey Rus!!? Haven't seem ya on a while!!! Ty for sharing
Hey Russ great video again.

Fabulous video love your videos.. Can't wait to see where you are planning this summer.
Thanks so much! 😊
I don't know if they still have it, but they use to have a classic car and hotrod cruise along that stretch of 66 every spring. That was fun.
Yes they do during the summer and fall...
Forgot to mention....glad you are waving at the droan/viewers again. Always like that🖐
Ann I travel alone so it is niiice to have someone else do the driving Lollzzz Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your journey 🚐🚐🌵🏜️🚐🚐🙏🏼😇
You are so welcome
Good one Russ!!!
Blooming in Ajo
Good Ol' "Garlicville".
a dry spring really makes me disappointed as I was really looking forward to beautiful bloom
Thanks. I'll be going thru there soon
Dave we are enjoying all these local visits, it is turning out great. Nice to hear your descriptions and knowledge.
It would be a good idea to have a police scanner with you during the fire season. You don't know where to be when those fires are burning.
Maybe on vacation before the heat?😎😎
Hey Russ, nice travel and video; where’s all the donkeys; Oatman usually has quite a few😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍
Good question!
@@rvertv i am thinking when you filmed this, the sign said welcome bikers. i know horses are fearful of the loud motorcycles, so i think that might have something to do with no burrows. that's another neat part of Oatman,
So glad you stopped and took time to walk around there! I probably going to rewatch this just to look at the old architecture!
Aww I'm in BHC right now!
Hi Russ ..I was just there on rt 66 I went to Siligman and I'm at Grand Canyon staying on area 302 its beautiful free camping in the forest...save trucking 🤗
