YOUR VIDEOS ARE MORE ENTERTAINING THAN ANYTHING ON TELEVISION TODAY.
I'm so glad you included some rail history. I'm a huge railfan, and I appreciate you doing so. The rail yard you were at is called Bartstow yard, the biggest of the Santa Fe railroad's yards for its time. Thank you, and I sincerely hope you read this comment.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. All the numerous times I’ve traveled the wonders of the “ Mother Road “. These videos bring back memories of what I remember seeing. Along with the sites that I haven’t seen. Thanks to all whom put time & effort into making these film 🎥 clips. For future generations to experience & enjoy 😉.
I'm from Barstow Ca and I would like to say thank you for stopping by are town and giving the history of the harvery house
Haven't heard "God willing n the creek don't rise" in eons!!! 💕 Love it!!!
Spike is Snoopy's brother who lives in the CA desert near Needles~ I love the history you introduce us to...better than school used to be~
I wish they could open up the parts that are private or restricted or repave the dirt parts because I would really love to take a road that millions of people have gone on in the old days, I like seeing history lol
Thanks so much for making these awesome videos! You are so much fun to watch and I really enjoy seeing the historic buildings and memorabilia :)
First time I ever started at the very beginning of your Route 66 Tour n went in succession!!! Attaboy, Justin Scarred!!!
I loved the Roy Rogers part. When I was a little girl I lived in Pasadena, Roy and Dale went to our church, Emmanuel Baptist. Imagine being a kid and seeing Roy Rogers in church!
We drove Route 66 in 2016 from Chicago to California so it's really interesting to see it the opposite way and to discover so many things we didn't see on our trip. It was the most amazing trip we've had so far and I love reliving it - so many interesting tidbits of history too!
Dude. My parents moved to Victorville in 1963 I was 3 months old. Every year we drove to Oklahoma city for summer vacation so I can't count all the times we drove the old road but I really hated when they built the 40. No more cool stuff like Stuckeys , Grand Canyon Caverns, Petrified Forest or the old school Terrible Herbts Thanks I love this stuff
I am really enjoying this Justin. For those of you enjoying his travels, along with me , become a Patreon. It is easy to do and will assure us more of these inspiring Vlogs. Thanks for making my day!
thank you for all the positivity. Today i lost a dear friend and everyone is just trying to deal with the tragedy. thank you justin for all the positivity you spread.
This is Victorville 🤗 my hometown! Was born and raised there. Now live in San Diego but always going back
We love you videos but this one even gave me a lesson in history. No wonder I love my 12 year watching. Just a bit of extra knowledge here and there never hurts anyone,,,,right?!
Great job as always Justin, I love the Old West and history in general, thanks for passing along the passion and knowledge that you have for this cool old American icon.
Loved the Victorville and Barstow Rt. 66 Museums.
Thank you for doing this trip, learning so much history.
A lot of this brings back memories. Love the desert. Can hardly wait for the next installment!
My dad loves Mtn Dew too!! We had to keep plenty stocked on our motorhome trip to Hoover Dam.
Verrrrrry Innnnteresting Justin. Great research. I'm really enjoying your journey along Route 66 and learning a lot of new things! Keep up the good work. Thank You
Gotta dig the triple pink flamingo 🦩🦩🦩 fountain!! Awesome!!!
That sign-off was very Huell Howser-esq nicely done....
Home of the world famous Victorville Film Archive!
Thank you Justin, on 66 last year and doing another this Oct, you hit most of the same stops! We enjoy the history and movies made there.
I keep checking back for today's Route 66 video! Can't wait for more. :)
Watched the entire series. GREAT JOB Justin and I love your enthusiasm for RT 66. Very entertaining and informative. BTW love the "old man" impressions!
Gotta love all those cool old 66 stops. Thanks Justin!
Never made it to the Roy Rogers Museum. Fun to see all the Route 66 stuff.
Fun pigeon fact: they are not native to America or most of Europe. Those pigeons descend from escaped/abandoned pet pigeons.
Congratulations on 70k subs, Justin!
My Grandpa was stationed out in Victorville back in the day. He and my grandma worked at a retirement home/retreat for old celebrities (Rancho Yucca Loma). They had my first Aunt out there, named her after Gwen Behr and one of the old celebrities knitted her a layette. Anyhoo, I've never been to Victorville and probably will never get to visit so it's cool seeing a piece of it here! My grampy died when I was young so it's cool getting to see where he once lived and maybe where he once drove!
2:38 - The canvas water bags did several things. First, they carried extra water, but you could have done that with a barrel or bottles. Second, they sweat, and by doing so, they cooled the air slightly. And the sweat dripped on the radiator so that the evaporating water on the cooling fins provided extra cooling. Third, you had to be careful how you hung them or you'd block the airflow to the radiator, like the one on the truck, and then they would overheat faster.
11:38 - You stopped at the Daggett citrus inspection but ignored the airfield. During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Force Fourth Air Force. The base was constructed by the Douglas Aircraft Company to modify the A-20 "Havoc" light bombers sent to the USSR under the Lend Lease program. The base was also used to train P-38 fighter aircraft in gunnery and using the new rockets fitted under the P-38s' wings.
18:20 - Too much rain in 2017 and no rain in 2022. Climate change sure happens fast.
So no trip down Route 66, see where Bagdad used to be (surprised it is all gone on Google Street View per 2008) and you don't see the LCpl Jason Rother memorial.
My grandfather (I'm in my 6th decade) would tell me stories of fleeing the dust bowl. They would strap the water sacks to the outside of the car doors and have extras to cover all doors because they cooled the inside cabin by a great amount.
I am always surprised about how similar our interests are, I always wanted to make videos like these, but I'm glad your doing them so I can enjoy!
I would love to turn a old gas station into a home or coffee shop. I've got my eye on one from 1958!
Awesome! I love Rt. 66! I've only done Oatman to Ashfork. Have been in Needles! Great job! Thanks! Adam The Woo couldn't have done better!
when you come through Lebanon Missouri stop by Elm Street Eatery where i work, i will buy your lunch!!! You gotta see Munger Moss Motel
I am learning stuff on this Route 66 video that I did not learn from about 15 others. Fantastic coverage. I'm subscribing. By the way, I love pigeons. They're cute & make cool sounds.
So fun!! "I don't even know how to play checkers!" "Neither do I!" You make my day 😄
Best Mother Road videos on the interwebs. Keep em rolling Justin!
This guy is hilarious, makes me wonder if Pee Wee Herman conceived a child on route 66 one day......
Hey, finally got into Victoriaville museum! Love that train station in Barstow. Isn't that your " favourite" bridge? I love it when there's nobody in front and nobody in the mirror...peaceful driving. Weird how the older bridges across the Colorado are the nicer looking ones, not used for traffic anymore. Bye, bye, California!
great job. this trip is going to be epic.
I drove up there to Victorville and visited the Roy Roger's Museum before they moved it! It was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Can't believe they put a cutout of Filmore from cars that made my day
I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and i like to travel there From LA to Chicago Route66 adventure . One day i will🤞🏽
Awesomeness the adventure begins!
I was literally waiting for this video. I love your roadtrips! :)
Really enjoying the trip so far.
Bravo Justin excellent work.
going to travel route 66 this summer amazing vid!
You found the Route 66 Museum in Victorville! :D Glad you enjoyed it!
You are very entertaining!
Awww Justin you we're just down the street from me! I haven't been to the Victorville museum but I do remember the Roy Rodgers museum when I was little it was pretty cool! Have fun on your trip!
My daughter and her friends drove all the way to L.A on Route 66. They were moving there to go to college and she wanted the whole experience. LOL
Its not just bottles on the bottle trees, Theres also telegraph railroad insulators.
Love your videos Justin!!!
This video is classic!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Now I really want to go on Route 66!!!!! I am missing out!!!!! You made my day!!!!
My wife and I got stopped at one back in 2012 on our honeymoon to California/Disneyland and we were so confused but thought the old man was so cute and funny
I love you Justin !
Awesome job on this video
Well done Sir! Great vid!
I counted four E. CLAMPUS VITUS plaques that I know of in this video. Satisfactory!!!! Keep up the good work
i go to needles a lot and i love this video so much
Well done. You hit the term exactly " hills have eyes-ish". I went Ft Irwin/NTC few years back and part of the old route runs right through it. The instructor I worked with encouraged us to go grab a piece of history by taking a small piece of concrete back. Of course small rock size. Keep up the good work!
Are you on a dark desert highway, Cool wind in your hair?
super awesome fun times... keep up the good work!
Loving the trip!
awesome! Rob
Dude, you cracked me up about the magnet. Very funny video.
Great stuff, man. Thanks for sharing.
Good work Jus'.
On the side of Route 66 there is Ludlow cafe, and here in Miami, there is Ludlam street🛣
Yes! Victorville! Home sweet home! My hometown
We love your video's on route 66 justin!! Rob and Julia from the sometimes mob LV !!
I was there just last week, played around in the lava beds and went up to Pisgah Crater, was pretty fun
Very sentimental, tears are racing from my eyes
Love your videos Man! Would love to see a video of you visiting the old mining town of Randsburg some day. It’s off the 395, about and hour from Barstow and rich with history
Being from st. Louis I enjoyed your video very much I live right on Route 66 good job on the video
great video.i need to check this out i live about 80 miles from barstow.
29:00 Justin...what does the Colorado River look like from that same point now? I know you've had ridiculous flooding along the coast but how far inland has that precipitation spread? All the way to the AZ border? I'd enjoy you doing a few videos about how destinations for travellers can be altered due to climate change. What about the Oasis spot with the koi fish? Of course you can't cover everywhere all the time but the areas near you could be done and then when you travel it can be something included in your awesome coverage of travel destinations.
I and my family love ya, man!
I love that they have signs up at the Oasis gas station, telling patrons not to yell at the employees about gas prices. I nearly ran out of gas on the 40 coming that way a few years back, and I was glad to see a gas station, no matter the price.
I checked out your old band after you mentioned the band. Kind of sounded like Greenday somewhat. Pretty good really. As a musician myself I totally understand how hard it is to make a living playing music. Love the videos. We are doing parts of route 66 this winter. That is how I found your channel. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Please show your hotel on the way! It be nice to get a review a looksee for future route yyvtrips! Tia! You rock!
Love your vids!!!!!
So Needles has an actual "Welcome Wagon?" Well played.
Happy days, I traveled route 66five years ago, fantastic,
loved it!
Great video :)
my grandfather Manuel Chavez worked on the Santa Fe railroad he was born 1900 from New Mexico!
What would the old prospectors make of the koi in the desert? Fish and chips comes to mind.
I'm loving this trip so far, sadly Victorville is home to the world's largest aircraft graveyard, The California logistics facility houses planes that have exceeded their lifespan and are sadly parted out.
"come heck or high water or Yoko Ono".....ahahahaha! thanks , Justin! 😊😊 stay safe.
A excellent, realistic way to show the history of the USA. By the by, keep a eye out for a you tuber called ' Nomadic Fanatic', Eric. He has a RV. and is in Sellgman Az. going East, It would be a great meet up. Happy trails.
hey Justin did you stop in Laughlin Nevada and then headed towards Oatman ? can't wait to see
Im gonna travel that rout 66
nice video
He's got straight enough track and has it burning hotter that the fires of hell and damnation itself...So 90 would be no problem..Doc Brown and Marty would have NO problem pushing the Delorean up to 88 miles per hour!!!
6:50! Wow! I never knew that even existed! It's so pretty!
10:30 That's a smart way to do it, but I agree with the one big museum, too!
16:16 You know, seeing absolutely no cars on the road makes me feel like that is my ideal road-trip considering my driving anxiety pahah.
16:38 um... forget I said anything about ideal road-trips hahah.
18:40 : Nope! Pigeons are well known for their long distance travels! people used pigeons to send messages in the world-war years. There's a whole documentary about them, they're quite fascinating! Rats with rings is an interesting perspective hahaha.
25:30 It's absolutely serene there! I'm not a big fan of deserts, but there is still some kind aesthetic pleasure.
Needles...such a quirky but lovable name for a city! And the welcome wagon sign definitely confirms that lovableness haha. Great spot for a funpic!
We'll be looking forward to the next bit!
Drive safe!
