    Justin - thank you for ALL the research you do and for how much history you share with all your viewers. I love listening to it all - you do an amazing job! Well done, friend. Well done. Keep it up - it's SO appreciated!

    The history you provide while showing all the fun stuff is part of why your videos are the best. You really need to be on the history channel or such. Way more entertaining than the rest.

    Very cool! I'm a descendant of Wild Bill, about three generations back. He was a part of my great-grandmother's immediate family; a first cousin, if I remember correctly. Hickock is still one of our family names. Exciting to see some history!

    Luckily the fork wasn't in the road...that would've created all sorts of havoc ;)

    Red's wife Julia was my grandfather's cousin. I had the privilege of having dinner in their home in 1987. Everything is gone now and it was a little overgrown even then. Nobody really remembered Julia and Sheldon. So thank you very much for telling their story.

    Springfield!!! My old best friend from the 2nd grade moved there and I think still lives there!!! Love these videos! I saw an article about your Route 66 adventure and videos. My father would love that car museum. And I know I have mentioned this 100 time but my grandfather designed the concept car that was turned into the 1960's Batmobile! He also designed plenty other cool famous cars. Every time I see that batmobile it reminds me of him, he passed away this past January so I miss him a lot.

    I used to live in Springfield. That fork was outside of a restaurant that later closed and they moved it to the spot it's in now. I hope you enjoyed your trip.

    "What the fork", also heard on the TV show "The Good Place." The writers must have been inspired by you in a vision of the future. Great installment, as usual. :-)

    I wish I could own some of the cars from the 66 car museum. I miss cars from the early 1900s. They were works of art and things of beauty. I loved how just before you walked back to that awesome batmobile, you passed a beautiful old Mercedes and a Morgan. As a car guy, that would've been my favorite museum. But I'm loving the history lessons all along the route as well

  • @edm9760
    @edm9760 7 років тому +4

    It's kind of ironic that Route 66 is reliving it's heyday with all the tourism simply because of the fact that it is abandoned and everyone forgot about it...long live the mother road!

    Ever been to Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska? Seems like the kind of place you'd enjoy--a gigantic collection of classic Americana, collected by a slightly obsessive plastics mogul named Harold Warp. Classic cars, aircraft, a couple of locomotives, entire relocated buildings, a huge number of musical instruments and washing machines and typewriters... it's a bit overwhelming.

Because of you I actually visited Tombstone! Here are some Fork puns. ... This is a route 66 pit stop, fork over the dirt. May the Fork be with you on your route 66 travels... LOL corny!!!

    Justin! Great vlogs.. when you reach Chicago you should consider a meet up! If you need any help in Chicago we can help, such as hotel and dinner arrangements. We can even schedule you to go to the biggest Disney store (behind the scenes) and which is the best store in the Disney company. The store is on Michigan avenue down the block from the end of Route 66. Have fun and be safe during your journey! Your friends here !

    The "Abou Ben Adhem" Shrine Mosque.
    Look it up. It's my Shriners Homw Temple. It's a Cool old Moraqin Style Building.
    Unfortunately we dont give Regular Tours, but it's an Amazing old building built in 1923.
