Really enjoying this series. Travelled the Mother Road twice in the 1970’s as a child with the folks. Doing it once more is on my list. I used to tow cargo barges to Barrow and back during the summers almost 30 years ago. I was able to visit the Rogers-Post Site and memorials. The man was indeed an American icon.
Drove from St Louis to Cali in the summer of 1966. Car had no air conditioning so anywhere we stopped that had air was a treat. As a kid I loved all the neon along the route.
I have to say, each time you say that you are 'burning up too much time here' is so reminiscent of our own Route 66 road trip. I can't tell you have many times we would find ourselves immersed in the history, and especially the people... that's the real treasure of Route 66, the people that not only keep it alive but so willingly share it with us. *U* Kathleen
@@TheHistoryUnderground We did this trip for my sweet love's retirement... and to celebrate my turning 60, we ended up being on the road 60 days... from Michigan to Santa Monica and back home...I'd do it again in a heartbeat. *U* Kathleen
never heard of will rogers. thats why i love this channel JD, i always learn something! Your channel fills the void that exists in cable tv these days, theres nothing educational anymore. Appreciate it and keep up the good work!
Even though it was quite long, I watched the whole thing and am glad that I did. I learned a lot about Will Rogers and what a truly admirable man that he was. Great video, JD, thanks! 👍
Great serie as always, first 3 weeks of october, we are driving Montreal to Vancouver then going south until L.A. then route 66 to Chicago then back to Montreal, thanks JD for all these spots, so far a lot of place to stop !!!
These Route 66 videos have been awesome! So much great history, Americana, and memories! Loved the Gearhead Curios! So many great places and stuff to see.
My folks spoke alot of Will Rogers when I was a kid. He had an amazing impact on regular folks all over the world and especially here in America. Amazing, simple man who was kind, funny and an all around decent person could impact so many.
I have watched a few of his westerns and know of his famous speeches, which remain relevant today. But I didn't know that Will Rogers was Cherokee, learn something everyday!
The original "Tow Tater" in Galena, KS, was the inspiration for Cars and Tow Mater. Tow Tater was the tow truck closest to the building where Tow Mater and Red were located.
Thanks for the highlight on Will Rogers. I worked at a movie theater as a teen and the yearly fundraising for his Institute was dreadful because one of us had to give a speech to ask for donations before every movie. I wished we had been educated on this man to better understand his impact on this country. I also recognized the Syllabary (Cherokee alphabet) at the museum entrance (27:16). If you visit Cherokee, NC, you'll see road signs in English and Syllabary. :)
Thank you for the Will Rodgers story. I've heard the name but didn't know very much about him. I'm sure my grandfather probably listened to him on the radio, but even grandpa(born1925) was only ten years old when Mr.Rogers passed.
It's interesting how one specific aspect of history can relate to so many events both local and global. For instance, Route 66 relates to Western Expansion, WWII, 50s Car culture, Civil Rights, etc. This is why it is important to experience history first hand and see what connections it makes.
Hi from Oklahoma! Welcome. So happy that you have visited my state of Oklahoma. Route 66 is such a great part of our state & thank you for highlighting Route 66! There’s so much to learn. I have a friend here in OKC that loves Route 66. She has & continues to teach me all about it even in traveling our state. We actually made a day trip to Kansas & saw that same marker of Will Rogers highway that you highlighted in this video. I just found your UA-cam channel & have been watching it non stop.❤
My film school capstone project from the University of Oklahoma was a documentary comparison of the lives of Will Rogers and Jim Thorpe. Very cool to see a light shone on Will Rogers. I’m proud to be an Okie alongside him.
@@TheHistoryUnderground. Would be happy to try to find a way to send it your way, if you’re interested! I’d have to dust off the virtual cobwebs to find it. Went another career route and became an in-house lawyer for Love’s Travel Stops, but have a passion for Oklahoma history and the roles those two great men played. So appreciate the work you do and the stories you tell. Keep up the good work, sir!
I love the Red Oak 2 place - especially the chicken on the toilet part (I got that right away and I can't stop laughing about it!!). The fact that you're doing the whole Rte. 66 vacation is so cool, JD!! Definitely a great way to learn about one's country and its history - especially on a very historic road!! I can't believe at how much stuff I'm learning from this series!! Who knew that I'd learn about a candy place that sells pop that has some very gross flavored pop that happens to be located on this route - I think in Indiana or Missouri (I can't remember which state that you mentioned - please feel free to correct me so that I can have a reminder!!)? That aside, the fact that you also went to a car museum and learned about all those old cars is so awesome. I can't wait to see what else you're gonna find on this trip!!
I'm enjoying this series very much. I would like to travel to some of these places. Thanks for making it possible for all of us to come along. God bless.
Many thanks for this trip on Route 66, It has been one ttip thst has been on my buckeg list for many years, and I remember wztching the TV series in the early 60's, bext regsrds from Australia, Les
I grew up hearing about Will Roger, Geronimo, Quanah Parker and Sheriff Thomas Heck, and the five civilized tribes. As a kid I did not absorb all of the details and the one thing I did not know was that Rogers was Cherokee! That is interesting. Also very interesting that he has connection through his ancestors who experienced The Trail of Tears. Great video !
Hahaha! It took me a few minutes to get the chicken! I had to engage my 12 year old self! LOL and then it was very funny! PS- Fleetwood Mac! You are the Master of my Playlist!
@@TheHistoryUndergroundmy former husband had relatives who lived in Baxter! Can't remember if it was his paternal grandmother and her kids or another relatives,aunt.
My wife and I have traveled old Route 66 from Chicago to LA… We were very disappointed that you skipped over Joplin MO…. In our opinion you did your viewers a great disservice by this omission,,, 😮
I was severely limited on time. Unfortunately, I just can't do it all. I do plan on doing the route again and catching the stuff that I missed the first time around.
Today, our leaders and people that have a platform, choose to use it for division, anger, resentment towards each other. We need people in the world who aren't afraid to say, love, acceptance, laugh, learn from each other and this wonderful life. At the end of the day we are all just people trying to find out way and it is sad that the politicians in the US and world are trying to make it harder and to pit us against each other. Thank you for this series on the Route 66 and for your insight/comments.
If you are still in the area. Its a bit a way off 66 up north but Woolaroc is worth checking out while you're here. It a place you would enjoy I believe.
There's loads of these village museums in the country, Genesee Country Village in Mumford, NY, or Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, MA. These are very cool places and in this case sounds even cooler if there are residents.
It's interesting to note how you were at the Will Rodgers Museum just about 2 weeks from the anniversary of his death. "I never met a man I didn't like." If he were alive today, I bet he would meet at least 2 politicians he would not like . . .
Hi. My wife and I watch your channel. We live in Tulsa. Up by Rt. 66 near Joplin is a town called Picher Oklahoma. It is a monument to lead mining. I hope you have time to examine the place in your travels
I looked up Boots Court. Did you know Clark Gable stayed in room 6 there? Very cool motel. And that Will Rogers museum looked very cool. Thanks for bringing us along
I’m a little late to this episode, but the connection between Galena, KS and Cars is the tow truck that inspired the character of Mater is one of those trucks you showed in the video.
Loved it ! Hey, that fellow in Red Oak has done a great job of preservation, this is very similar to what exists in Eagle Park, Cache, OK that included the Quanah Parker House (which has not faired as well and is in very decayed condition) Neat stuff, I appreciate your videos and the way you highlight some many interesting attractions !
So: now, and only from watching this very channel, I must spend the days of the Battle of Gettysburg in and around the city following the days of the battle, and now to take a few weeks (eventually) to travel Route 66. I’m not sorry at all, either!
I had to laugh when you said "Try not to get distracted"...That's the whole point of driving Rt. 66! Nothing against Galena, Kansas, but, it's NOT Radiator Springs! LOL! The real Radiator Springs lies ahead, good sir! It was pretty cool, though. I have to say, I've been to a few rodeos, and a county fair, but I have NEVER seen a bathroom like that!
I did route 66 in the 1970s! Alot of the businesses were closed back them,im hoping that they can restore some of those buildings ,the only good things about the area it is in a dry climate
One of the best episodes! One of my favorite books from high school English is “The Grapes of Wrath”. The movie is also one of my favorites. John Steinbeck caught the mood of desperation the country was feeling during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Ma Joad tries everything within her power to keep her family together and healthy. One of the saddest parts of both the novel and movie is when Grandpa Joad dies along Route 66 on the way to California. (Sorry-spoiler alert). With no money for a funeral and not wanting to have any interaction with law enforcement, the family buries Grandpa along the roadside, with a note that Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) wrote, explaining the situation. The novel and movie are fiction but how many desperate families had to make decisions in real life along Route 66? How many unmarked graves are there along the highway? Will Roger’s was an American icon. He could tell a joke about someone or a political party, and not offend anyone! Boy, could we use his humor now!
Hey Cap. Whenever (back) in Arnhem, The. Netherlands (maybe for M-Garden 80y); We have quite the same here it’s called Openluchtmuseum (open-air museum) and during the German occupation people used the moved/display houses (which were also real houses once and moved for presentation) for hiding.
I'm really loving the Mother Road series. BTW, you brought up the Missouri/Missourah controversy. If you live in NW Oklahoma, Miami OK is pronounced Miamah, not Miami. 😀
Great videos. Did all of the route in 2019 and photographed it and going to do it again soon. A lot of reasons places like hookers cut or other larger four lane sections were made so big was the transport of military vehicles around ww2
When I was a kid we lived in Phoenix AZ. My Grand Parents lived in Amarillo TX and an aunt lived in Whitter CA. We made countless trips on Route 66 from Phoenix to Amarillo and LA. Now some 60 years later I can still remember what a great trip it was on that HWY. I heard alot of WWII vets opened and owned alot of the motels and restaurants and gift shops along the route. I remember on motel front entrance to the check-in was the nose from a B-29 bomber. All of the towns that had an airport had a rotating light beacon on the field. At night we could track where we were by those beacons rotating. We look hoping to be the first in the car to see the flash from the next towns beacon. I remember how sad I was when the freeway opened and by-passed all those towns and all those memories. Those were fun trips.
I really enjoy your videos! I live in Albuquerque and am wondering if you would care to share when and where in NM you might be stopping on your Route 66 travels? I'd love to meet you and shake your hand. I'm a fellow Veteran and not a stalker!😅
Loved the Will Rogers museum tour . Seems my favorite Will Rogers movie " Judge Priest " was missing on the wall of movie posters . Another attempt to rewrite history ? Still a great road trip .
Thanks for stopping by! What a great episode featuring our museum! Can't wait to share.
@@willrogers6642- Amazing place that you all have there. Appreciate the hospitality.
Only thing wrong with this road trip is we all can't go along for the ride! Love this trip JD! This was a great idea for a series!
Thanks!
Agreed! Another terrific series!
I saw your earlier post worrying about the length of these videos. Don't give it another thought. Those 50 minutes flew by. Great stuff!!
I’m sure I would have the hardest time not stopping at everything along the way, too. Such a fun journey!
Really enjoying this series. Travelled the Mother Road twice in the 1970’s as a child with the folks. Doing it once more is on my list. I used to tow cargo barges to Barrow and back during the summers almost 30 years ago. I was able to visit the Rogers-Post Site and memorials. The man was indeed an American icon.
Drove from St Louis to Cali in the summer of 1966. Car had no air conditioning so anywhere we stopped that had air was a treat. As a kid I loved all the neon along the route.
Wow!
Man what a way to spend the summer
@@ronopiela1959 - Best trip ever.
Traveling Route 66 anytime of year is always worth it. But summer is definitely filled with more events along the way.
The bathroom is on of the coolest things on the channel.

One of the best episodes!
One of my favorite books from high school English is “The Grapes of Wrath”. The movie is also one of my favorites. John Steinbeck caught the mood of desperation the country was feeling during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression.
Ma Joad tries everything within her power to keep her family together and healthy. One of the saddest parts of both the novel and movie is when Grandpa Joad dies along Route 66 on the way to California. (Sorry-spoiler alert). With no money for a funeral and not wanting to have any interaction with law enforcement, the family buries Grandpa along the roadside, with a note that Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) wrote, explaining the situation.
The novel and movie are fiction but how many desperate families had to make decisions in real life along Route 66? How many unmarked graves are there along the highway?
Will Roger’s was an American icon. He could tell a joke about someone or a political party, and not offend anyone! Boy, could we use his humor now!
