    👍👍 My favorite small town on Route 66. The little gift shop you entered, probably noticed it was also an barber shop. That shop is owned by Angel Delgadillo. He is 94 years old and rides his bicycle everyday to his shop. Thanks to hIm, we can enjoy Route 66. He founded Route 66 Association of Arizona and got the funding from the government to restore Route 66 in Arizona. Then 7 other states followed Angel's footsteps and now it is one big Route 66 Association which covers all 8 states.

    First time on Route 66 was in 1959. Only remember the Jack Rabbit Trading Post and hearing Waterloo on the radio by Stonewall Jackson.

    Traveled through Seligman in 2017 heading back east. We stayed at the Historic Route 66 motel overnight, with the horse out front (recommended!). You brought back fun memories! Thank you! 🙏 Love your videos, and watch every one! Keep up the great work. 🤗😷♌️

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Back in 1986 I bought a new Monte Carlo and drove my then girlfriend from NY to the Grand Canyon to propose. We picked up Route 66 in Missouri and took it all the way to Arizona. Fortunately she said "yes" otherwise it would have been an awkward ride back to NY. Thirty-five years later that Monte Carlo is still sitting in the garage and my wife and I still reminisce about that trip along Route 66. Thank you for the memories!

    Say Hi to Lilo from Silvia in Gilroy at Westside Lilo's Cafe across the street from the Roadkill next to the Dollar Store. Lilo has really good German American Food. She once traded her cafe for a year with my German friends from Blaichach/Bavaria who ran the restaurant that was my grandmother's many years ago. It was on German TV. Lots of Germans on motorcycles visit her place ever since. The pies and Schnitzel are to die for LOL. Next year we are planning a AZ vacation with our RV and will definitely stop by.

    We do Road Kill Cafe every time we travel I40. One time we stayed at their motel, just to stay at a Route 66 motel. It was small but clean.
    It also gave us time to drive from Kingman to Saligman. Fun drive. For those who haven't been Grand Canyon Cavern. That is a fun place to stop. Kara and Nate spent the night there.

    Where the old green VW bus parked. At the Copper Cart, Normallly there is a guy named Dale with a couple of horses and some rifles along with a cowboy hat. He sets you a of them and lets you take pictures for donation to buy the rescued horsed food. He is awesome and crazy too. Also ue speaks perfect Spanish, he lived in Mexico for a while. Pay him a visit if you guys go to Seligman.

    Awesome part of the Route 66 heritage. It's sad tho that other than passing traffic the place appears to be a ghost town. Nobody on the sidewalks, no visable active shoppers. It's really sad because of all the effort and hard work the vendors have put in it.
