ℹ️ About the Episode
If you've been with us for any amount of time, you know Trish does most of the driving. She enjoys towing with our Super Duty ... but when it comes to driving the Bird, her response was clear, "I'm out!" Driving large equipment does take some getting used to and we receive countless emails about how to help a spouse become more comfortable with driving a motorized RV or towing. Perhaps we should have followed some of the tips below so Trish would be more comfortable with driving the Bird! In this episode, we travel Route 66 from the mid-point in Adrian, TX to the Blue Hole in New Mexico and then to Santa Fe. We visit the decommissioned Musical Highway before making our way to the Petrified Forest National Park and then a particular corner in Winslow Arizona. Join us next week for the season finale of Route 66 in Santa Monica California.

I’m not sure we ever had a complete understanding for how it is to travel with Marc W Griswold, but when an inanimate plastic figurine takes its own life that speaks volumes.
I can't argue with that point!
Trish, you rock. Total respect for recognizing you don’t want to drive that vehicle. Enjoy your journey!
In one episode Marc went from looking like a 80’s television cop, to a truck driver and then a retired artist who’s had the same hat for 30 years 🤣🤣
Route 66 has been a blast and excited to see Trish drive the bird! Love yall 3000!
It takes a really strong person to just say No!! Good for you Trish!!
It's important to know your limitations. Old units like this are exhausting. You are correcting and over correcting all the time. I had a 37 ft class A over 24 years ago. We had to install a steer straight product but driving was exhausting.
As a kid very little kid I was driving our semi trucks and backing them out of the garage and warming them up for my dad before we would make a load so I could not wait to drive our wanderlodges on the actual highway so soon as I got my permit at 14 daddy let me drive 100 or so miles while mom was taking a nap. That was the coolest thing to me and very special that daddy believed in me enough to trust me with his pride and joy that he worked so hard for. That was my first time and been driving them every since. Y’all be safe.
“Come on Gary, get your head glued on straight, Trish is nervous driving, Charlie got the poop scared out of him, Marc can’t keep track of the car and Caleb, well he’s being Caleb, somebody’s gotta keep this show on the road” 🤣🤣🤣
I’m willing to bet the car “rolling” backwards was Calebs idea 🧐
Love the flashbacks, crazy how fast kids grow up !!!
Awesome as always 😍😍😍😍😍
The first time the car rolled back was totally unplanned. The second time was Caleb's idea. Too funny.
Oh Trish. Thank you for allowing your experience to be shown. It made you more REAL. I have sold my sticks & bricks and will depart with a 32 ft. fiver, solo, later this year, (haven't pulled it yet). My previous experience was with a 16 ft. TT in 1979 when I headed out full time. So, I whole heartedly relate to your recent experience as I attempt to reassure myself that it will be OK. PS. I stayed in a KOA, in Selma NC, 1979 with full hookups for $7.35 per night !
OMG!!Carson is soon handsome! He looks just like his beautiful mother!
Oh my gosh, the title alone is hysterical..lol! Trish, you are a sister when it comes to driving an RV. I can only do as much as 7 miles..lol . Funny thing, I don't have an RV yet but I'm watching RV you tubes non stop. I tested drive a class A motorhome with V8 engine and it runs smooth like butter. I can't wait to buy it and drive 7 miles of it. My husband is already nervous and having severe anxiety.
124 channels in my subscription list...Trish, Marc, feel free to check that number but the number ONE for content creation and everything....this one. Just so good every week, addictive.
We took a trip July 2020 with 5 of our grandchildren from St. Louis, Missouri to Washington State. We hit a lot of the attractions on Route 66 and this was one of them. Great memories…
OMG...there was so much going on in this video...so help me! I always look forward to yall's videos, and laugh out loud often. BUT this video...Gary loosing his head ....I almost lost it! And then Trish preforming CPR on Gary, a valiant effort I must say! And Mark's reaction as the car was rolling away....LOL! Thank you for always making it fun!
Get Your Kicks On Route 66! We've been up and down it a many times and the Wife and I are both Native Los Angeles Californians! Now we are Native Northern Wine Country Californians! Our favorite spot on Route 66 is Flagstaff Arizona! We attend South Dakota's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally every year since 2005 and for 5 years coming from Granada Hills, CA, (suburb of L.A.) We would always stay at Black Bart's RV Park and Dinner Theater for at least 2 or 3 days and ride our Harley Davidson FatBoy to Sedona, Jerome. Prescott and back via Oak Creek Canyon!
My wife and I were yelling at Mark… “don’t go under the bridge mark!!!… no why would you do that.” Then you said you weee going back under and we both almost had a heart attack! 😂
This turned out to be a really funny video guys. The car leaving on it's own was hysterical. Then Gary loosing his head. I nearly lost it when Trish was doing CPR on a headless Gary. It was beautiful watching the sunset as you headed ever west into the night. It got kind of silly as the evening wore on but I've learned that's what happens after a long day of driving. This was a super great video guys. Sorry it didn't go well for Trish driving. A loose steering wheel can be a bummer. Looking forward to Gary getting his head back. haha
Well we didn't fair so well with the Graffiti bridge on 17th Ave in Pensacola, FL! Lost the A/C unit on our Class A rental, and ended up in Milton for 6 weeks waiting to get it repaired. Bridge is infamous in the area for some such accidents. There was no sign giving the height, and the sign "Low Bridge" was covered with graffiti. We met many RVers as they came and went from the campground. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. And before the pandemic! Such is life! It made for interesting and entertaining fodder for my husband's travel blog for the folks back home and around the world. ;) HA! And I just remembered we got 26" of snow within hours of returning it when we got home!! Like Tricia, we were so glad to get home!
Would ya look at that, just look at it… what a fantastic throwback to old UA-cam :)
I think you should bring back Carson’s angry food reviews 🤣. Love the flashbacks 😎
Lots of people “standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine site to see.”
Was there “a girl my Lord in that flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look you?”
You guys “take it easy “
We totally understand Trish your reluctance to drive the bird on a highway. We have a 1989 Fleetwood class a that steers in a similar fashion. However, the big Ford 460 block gives us plenty of heat! LOL great video
So much entertainment, can't even put how much unlimited value! You have filmed this with so much humor, affection, love (even with Trish at the wheel). Bless you for giving us the blessings of Route 66 through the Bluebird way ....... 🚌
Great CPR Tricia! I am sure Gary will make a full recovery.
“Would you look at this.” Haha, I love that video!
tks guys now I know never to travel Rt 66 after seeing the most longest boring road :)
It's Sunday !!!!! Finally !!!! Had a rough week lost one of my rescue dogs on Monday been a rough week in the house, started with 3 dogs now down to 1 now. Be Safe everyone !!!!
Sorry to hear that.
Bummer! Sorry about that.
Sorry for you loss
I just wanted to pass along a quick tip on driving a bigger RV. When driving down the road, in your lane you will see where the road is worn down more(lighter) from other truck tires and it is darker in the middle of those tracks. Just align yourself and the steering wheel to be on the left side of the dark portion of the road and it will help you stay in your lane especially at night. I hope this helps Trish out and she can be more relaxed and enjoy the journey!!!!
Trish driving the bird is me 100%. Drive for a few miles, get freaked out by semis and concrete barriers and say “I’m out.” Too funny.
Poor Gary! No shame in needing to get used to a loose steering wheel, it’s upright and big and loose. I took our rig out on our small country roads to learn its feel. Plus our Expedition can really book it, I have to watch it’s speed. One day we will do Rt. 66. Currently parked at our daughters’ house until I graduate with a Masters in Nursing. Can’t wait to hit the road again in May.
Kudos to Tricia for trying and being a responsible driver. It is super stressful to drive under the blanket of fear - no bueno. The first I would have to have would be a booster seat (I am down to 5'). It is a climb into our Ford 250 (Trailer pkg.), but once in the seat, I can adjust the pedals, seat, steering wheel, mirrors & radio to drive safely and happily. I love to shop for Turquoise jewelry at Governor's Plaza from the locals. Tell Gary it isn't worth losing his head over...!
Your caption at the start of this show was Santa Fe NM, but I didn't see you get off I-40 west, Albuquerque is how it is spelled!! LOL Yes, the musical highway worked good about 5 years ago now the grooves are filled with tar....like the rest of our horrible roads! I love your show!
Omgosh....I literally peed my pants laughing!!!! First of all.....I've been with you guys since episode one! So thank you for those flash backs!! Precious!
That low bridge...Mark...."we're definitely more than 11' 2"??? ". I just could not stop laughing!!! Another classic....right up there with the poop hose dragging down the road!
Trish....you did real good trying to drive that thing honey!! Proud of you!
And that Airstream/Daydream reflection! Spectacular!
Thanks! :) We're glad you're here!
Great Episode Winslow is neat little place! Can't blame you Trish,,,,, It's scary
FUN 🤩 TIMES… Thanks 🙏 for sharing… Love 💕 being along for the journey since “I’m” unable to travel 🧳 I’m living vicariously through you’all … May God Bless you and yours.
Many fond memories of Santa Fe with my wife.. 👍
I am convinced that Caleb could do a multi-act play about Jimmy Stewart. Like Hal Holbrooke did on Mark Twain.
Look’n like a real bus driver with that Blue Bird hat there Marc!
I’m sorry, but every time I see the mustache, all I can think of is Ned Flanders from the Simpson 🤣🤣🤣 but I love!
I am 76 yrs old. I remember going to the petrified Forrest when I was about 13 yrs old. I could not understand the idea of being petrified. Nice to see it thru you these may years later.
"I can eyeball it. " such a guy
Trish, when you are driving the Bird, your left knee should line up with the centerline. Just keep that thought and you will get comfortable with your position in your lane
Wooooo Hoooooo YELLOWSTONE!!!! I vote you guys do a Yellowstone review video! I heard it! I heard it! OMG you guys need a show on the Magnolia Network! I swear... the family memories you are creating are FOREVER!!!! Will you do it until you are O L D ??? We are living our daydream in a new home in the Rocky Mountains, with full RV hook up BTW, but live vicariously through you guys!
That old car reminded me that my grandmother drove from Killeen, Texas to Phoenix to Corvallis, Oregon BY HERSELF in a Model A convertible at the age of 16. She was following my grandfather from base to base as he trained in WWII before he went overseas. She has a lot of good stories about it.
LOL, seems that Charlie is Not convinced that moving from "His Spot" is a good idea. Too Cute.
I was just at the Blue Hole last year scuba diving. I can't believe he jumped into that water more than once without a wetsuit on... that water is COLD!
Lol. And I wanted Caleb to swim down. No wonder I couldn't get him to do it!
@@KeepYourDaydream 80ft to the bottom of the hole, 62 degrees year round! Hello from Show Low, neighbor!
now I do love the color scheme on the Bird. that is the right hat to have a cigar, please have a premium cigar in your next video wearing that hat.Pismo Paul
Trish YOU CAN DO IT! I like how we tell or kids hay just jump in there the waters fine. Love the look back may he fly the fastest Jets the Airforce has such a good job done by mom and dad! PS all the kids.
Conner acting like Ed Bassmaster was too funny!
Carib not conner
Not gonna lie, one of the things I always loved about the channel was Trish breaking the stereotype that the man does all the driving.
Just bought an RV today! I just started my travel nurse career 4 months ago and am currently in Delaware. Can't wait to pick up my rig in Kentucky when I get home again in 3 weeks! But, in the mean time, I have been binge watching all of your "tips and tricks" type videos like a virtual text book! Thanks for all y'all do! Y'all so cute!
We drove that musical highway a few years ago and it worked great for us. In fact it was so cool we did it a few times.
I'm glad to see "the Bird" made it back to Flagstaff in one piece.
Too bad, the same can't be said for Gary.
"WHAM, his capa is *DETATED* from his head!" -- Michael Scott
Finally, a Recteq!!! You will love both models, I really enjoy my Trailblazer! Recteq has the best build quality and best customer service in the industry. I enjoy your videos, you have inspired my travels!
We love it! We're hosting a Recteq smoking academy soon. I told Trish, between the Recteq and your spices, it's like I'm cheating. Even I can cook now!
@@KeepYourDaydream will the information be published anywhere? Utah isn't that far away 🙂. Keep up the good work, you do a professional job with the video's! Very entertaining...
Oh poor Gary he almost made it without serious injury 😢 You will live to ride another day 😁😁🥰🥰Safe Travels guy's ❤
I think Gary losing his head was a foreshadowing of the too low bridge! Glad the same thing didn't happen to The Bird!! Great episode, but u need to keep the camera on Caleb when he's doing a bit. Comedy gold! 😃
Mark looks like a man's man with the trucker hat and that mustache. 💪✊🏿🇺🇸💯
Great trip! I've done the western leg of 66, from Tulsa to Cali. Id like to do the northern part. Thanks for your videos. And sharing your lives with us. Y'all are REALLY Great! Blessing for a great week ahead.💕
So awesome to see Carson again. Miss the days of having all three kiddos crammed into the backseat. Such a blessing that you took the risk and took them on an amazing journey as a family. Memories none of your kids will ever forget.
You guys missed La Posada Hotel in Winslow!!!! Its a must see but most of all you need to read up on Fred Harvey and the Harvey Girls beforehand. Trisha could do a whole series on just the Fred Harvey Hotels alone since its around FOOD and hospitality and it revolutionized train travel in the US.
Hope Gary gets his noggin put back on.
I wish I would have done what you're doing with my children, although we went on family trips, none as epic as the ones you guys do, thanks for sharing with all of us. It's nice to see a family being a family. Anyways and as always stay safe, safe travels and God bless love ya Nancy
@@sky02148 I wish the same, Nancy. We had many great vacations when the kids were home, but nothing like KYD. It is so rewarding to see the tight family bond this family has. A wonderful sight to see! ❤️
Caleb is a rock star!
It’s been a great ride on 66 with you guys
We just returned from a four and a half trip, covering much of the same route, and I have to say this episode epitomizes "a day in the life" of an RVer. The highs, (finding what you have looked forward to - Winslow) the lows, (what you wanted to see is closed or the wait is long) the unknown, (I think our height is good????) meeting great people, (we sold our home and will find out what comes next) pushing too long and being too tired when you have to, and THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Gary's CPR was the funniest thing you have ever done!!!
That's Paul!
That car museum! More Caleb please. Charlie is so cute when he sits way up front. Umm, hey we are drifting away from you! Lovin all the flash backs. But wow, you are making me hungry.
OMG! The Subaru slowly fading away. AAAAAGGGH! LOLOLOLOL
🤣🤣🤣Gary's still bobbling, such a fine sight to see. Dying🤣🤣🤣
LOL! Laughed so hard when Trish started giving Gary CPR. That was great! Today I went to Atlanta and show your sticker!! I was so excited I have to share it on the Gram. Great video family.
Go Trish, Go Trish, Go Trish! You can do it! Mile 8 is waiting! But don't get in the way of those Amazon deliveries.
scenes with the car and Gary were funny!!!! great video!!
There is a lot of Route 66 things in Albuqueruque. There is infact a Lumber Jack style of statue the same as Gary. As a Albuqueruqe resident we would take a drive out on Route 66 and drive down the musical highway, it was cool, just roll down the windows and it is easly heard.
Glad th o see Charlie had and will have plenty of inspiration during this trip. I suggest having plenty of latex gloves and gallon bags on hand and with you for the rest of the trip. Go Charlie! Pun intended!
Nice episode, we went through the petrified forest about 28 years ago. So, Trish just broke my wife’s record by 23 minutes. On a trip from Tacoma, Washington to Charleston, South Carolina I drove until about Abiline, Texas and needed a break from driving; 30 minutes that’s was her record before begging off of driving duty. Yup, I drove the rest of the way.
Sure makes me miss my old 1983 Wanderlodge FC35SB as seen in my profile pic and many videos on my channel
Thank you for all of the " Cherlie" !! He is beautiful and precious 💖
This is by far my favorite one of all!! Like no joke!! So much fun!! I didn’t want it to end!! The laughter my husband and I did, the conversation of where we should go next, the Eagles song now playing in our heads…Just the best ever!! Thank you!!
Thanks! A pretty chill episode, but fun. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes a great memory, my dad cooking beans on the manifold in the early 50s. We went back and forth from Sunnyvale CA to phoenix AZ many times.
I live in Edgewood. The musical hwy does work. You just have to have your tire on it perfectly. I take 66 to abq all the time and hit it on my return trip. Once you hit the black spot you missed it, that was the first one they messed up lol. Another great video though… :)
Trish, old trucker trick. Put your left foot against the left side of the wall as far as you can then picture driving your left foot down the white line. Eventually you won’t have to do that… you’ll have the feel.
OMWord, this episode was so dang funny! When the car started drifting away, I about lost it, the the second time had me losing it all over again. Poor Gary losing his head, I couldn't believe it! lol No reviving Gary until his head is back on Trish, which I hope is soon. Beautiful scenery, love seeing the flashbacks, your silly evening-aren't we all like that when we are tired?? Just loved everything, but then I always do. You guys always leave us wanting more and waiting breathlessly for the next episode. This Rt 66 series has been so fun, thanks for always taking us along. Trish, hopefully you will be able to drive the Bird when not so much is happening on the road, I'm sure it is just getting used to the feel and where things need to be to be in the center of your lane. I'm in awe of you anyway because I doubt I would have even tried! Hugs, Brenda
"Gaaaaary! Dammit"
Best line ever!! Thanks Trish😂😂
I’m watching tonight’s episode and noticed what looked like too much play in the steering when Trish was driving the bird. I’m not a mechanic by trade but have owned many old American cars that I restored and drove. The one common thing I found on these cars was worn gears in the steering box a simple adjustment was all it needed. Just some food for thought.
From a big fan of your show, Mr G.
That's true and you're right, but with some practice, I lock it in and keep my elbows on the arm rest. Free handing it with wind can be a bit tricky.
I can't believe you didn't stop in Wynslow AZ! Not fans of the Eagles? (Shaking my head) Funny video!!! Car on the loose was great and poor Gary. Trish did great driving. Beasts take time to get them under control. Keep trying Trish! Love the videos. Keep them coming please. You guys are great. 🚌
Gary finally lost his head after miles and miles standing on the Dashboard. lol
Great video! Love Sundays and love yall!!
Love New Mexico, the wide open spaces, the clouds, the friendly people. Good show!
Marc, the stash with the baseball hat for some reason reminded me of Mario brothers. LOL. The cap at the end was much better.
I also hated driving my dads 45 foot Class A . He kept saying the same thing watch the white line in the mirror and I kept saying “ if I’m watching the white line, I’m not watching the road!” For me it wasn’t that the motorhome was so large, it was that there was no nose in front of me to use as a guide. You did right Trish by pulling over, you kept everyone safe.
We went to Blue Hole in 2019. It is so cool. Can’t believe it’s not more well known.
Great trip, so glad you took us all along.
Great video. Charlie is excited to be home.
Did any Longmire fans notice this looks exactly like the town in the show at 12:59?
Hey, fellow Longmire fan! I noticed it too. I know they filmed it in NM!!
I was laughing a lot during this one and my wife was trying to sleep, but couldn’t help it 😂 Trish the cpr was perfect !!!
You guys are killing me, seriously! my side is splitting. At least Gary was standing up most of the way this time. LOL
“Would you look at that, just look at it!” 😂 😂 😂
Loved the curricle candles at the end. But mostly enjoyed seeing Charlie. The ride along is great. Had so much fun watching this. This is one of those videos on a not so good day you want to see again. Thanks so much. Love y'all
Concrete Walls turn highways into roller coasters! I wish I could avoid them, but then I'd be on the road for double the time. Have you had the pleasure of driving in Houston, DFW, or Austin? Its a blast!
I'm sure you've herd of Black Bart's in Flagstaff not far from your cabin. Great little steak house where all the servers sing. If you haven't been your in for a treat.
We've stayed there many times, but never ate. We need to.
@@KeepYourDaydream It's in the same parking lot as an RV park. It's also next door to Little America. If you like singing servers you won't regret it :-) We live in Buckeye Az and have been there several times. Love your channel. Can't wait to see if Gary pulls thru.
Reminds me of my son trying out my Dad's old Dodge pickup....lots of on center play (nothing wrong just how it is) and my son saying...it does handle differently than my car.....he was being a bit charitable since it was Grandpa's pickup.
The bird seems perfect! Just needs a little more mph.
Clines Corner is so wonderful! Are truck was having mechanical problems and we hobbled to Clines Corners. The tow guy, the mechanics in Moriarty were the friendliest and most accommodating human beings. We stayed for two days at Clines Corners for $25.00 a night. Full hook up. I prayed please get us to the next exit. Gas, food and Rv park. Thank you, Lord!
Thanks so much for taking us all along! - Route 66 is on our bucket list!
You all are a constant source of entertainment. - Nice 'stache Marc!
You mentioned Yellowstone. My sister’s son plays the judge in Season 4 - last episode 😊 His name is Pat Skipper
Awesome!
