    The Pavement through Spencer is the Original Pavement, never Covered or over Layed. ❤

    Great video, Jeff.
    Thank you.
    Some great places along the way.
    I really love the Spencer Station.
    As with your other videos, I recommend anyone watching to listen through headphones. It brings out the best of that V8 sound.

    The story of Lowel Davis "Red Oak II" is amazing. While its Not on Original Rt 66, its still a Great Time Era Experience

    The Johnson Creek Bridge is an old classic design, and cool Spencer Station, and then Carthage & the Boots Motel, a scenic Missoura drive on Route 66!

      It’s very polarizing.

      @@jeffthisted You definitely picked out some great choices there. Don't forget about the other Wigwam motel in Rialto, CA. That is also a great choice there. Say do you want a teepee to sleep in your backyard???? Are the vintage classic cars at outside Blue Swallow Motel in NM and Wigwam Holbrook, Arizona still functioning or has their fuel already being long sucked out???? Btw.
