ℹ️ About the Episode
The much-anticipated Route 66 Series has finally started! The whole idea was inspired by the upholstery in "The Bird," our 1984 Blue Bird Wanderlodge. (And let's face it, we've had crazier ideas!) This episode is a bit longer than normal, as we wanted to take you through the entire process of putting Platinum Ginger and the Cowboy Limousine in storage before heading directly to the center of Chicago in the bus!
Initially, we thought traveling the iconic Route 66 was a great idea. But the closer we got to the start sign, the more we had our doubts. Would it just be an old bumpy road lined by abandoned hotels and novelty stores? That's what we were afraid of, but we were wrong!
We learned quickly that the cities along Route 66 are worth a stop for any RVer: Chicago, St. Louis, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, and Santa Monica. But the road itself is in great condition, because it has been transitioned to state routes or frontage roads with frequent stops along the way Route 66 can be anything you want it to be, from tapping into the history of this iconic road to a fun way to travel west. We have a lot more to share during this series-and as always, we're glad you've joined us!

I love how you gave the Giant a voice and made him a narrator!!
We can cover more ground now :)
Wait...Gary isn't real?🥴
" C'mon Gary, Get It Together!" This is gonna be a blast. Love you guys!
Watched until the last second. Nice! :)
@@KeepYourDaydream loved every moment of Gary and always enjoy Charlie chiming in. I'm very excited about this season. See ya next Sunday 😊
@@KeepYourDaydream Of course we watch right to the end!
Made me giggle was so good
Gary is this season’s tiny hand! I love him!!
I LOVE tiny hand!
Yes! More Gary and Tiny Hand!!
I kept expecting Tiny Hand to touch Gary so that his head would wiggle!
LOL Charlie's conversations with Gary are gonna be GREAT!
I do detect a slight hit of the Griswold's Vacation treking across America to Wally World 😂 And yes, Marc makes a great Clark and Trish makes a great Ellen. Caleb is Rusty but with a great sense of humor! 🤠 Have fun guys and don't sweat the small stuff! 🇺🇸
I thought the same. 😆
Yes!!! Wally World here they come!!!
My 6 year old son was laughing when Gary first was talking and he fell over. Had to rewind it a couple times. Beautiful editing job!!
Stay to the very end. We love Gary.
I am at work and I laughed out loud!
OK, that ending was like staying for the ending of the movie and getting rewarding with the best part! Safe travels, you guys, and happy to be watching this fun journey :)
Oh, I can already see that Gary the Gemini Giant is going to provide some really great color commentary along the Road to America series, with Charlie playing his straight man. This will be epic, Mark and Trish!
I'm absolutely dying laughing at the Gemini Giant. I can see now this is going to be a fantastic season on Route 66. 🤗💪🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was most entertaining! I’m searching for a word. I’m going to use lovely. It was lovely to see the excitement that you all have for this adventure! After all this time and all you’ve seen and done, you are genuinely excited about this trip. That is lovely! Thanks for taking us along😀
Even we were surprised! Who would have thought we would love the Paul Bunyan family so much!
I'm ABSOLUTELY LOVING Gary!!! I also love his conversations with Charlie!! Can't wait until next week!
When you go to Nebraska, you have to go to Lincoln and visit Mack's Creek, it's a Harvest Host winery, they are amazing! You will be treated like royalty. The vineyards has a self guided tour, there are a dozen or so concrete platforms to the back of the property that have built in gas fire pits with seating and all. Safe travels, we love you guys!
I love Gary the Gemini Giant! What a great addition to the KYD family. Charlie’s commentary cracks me up!
Loved the fun of this! I KNEW Charlie has a voice! (And Gary is great too). I can see the spin off now... "Road trippin with Charlie and Gary". With all the craziness in the world, great that you guys put a smile on my face tonight.
YES!!!!
In 2017 we did the entire Route 66 trip from Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier and camped the whole way. We even camped in Peach Tree Springs and detoured to hike to Havasu Falls, spending 2 nights at the bottom. One of the most epic places on the planet! We stopped at Pops; Cadillac Ranch; the Bottle Tree Farm and had pie in Adrian , Texas, the half way point (get there early, they still serving at 3!). It was truly a trip of a lifetime!
Make sure atleast once a year with the fire extinguisher you take it out and tap it with a rubber hammer upside-down. It will keep the power loose. Bouncing down the road packs it tight to the side and bottom.
Looking forward to more episodes and all should be as much fun as this one. My parents took our family on the entire original Route 66 in 1959 when I was twelve!
Did Gary see Tricia’s cheerleading moves? This is looking like the best series yet. Safe travels UA-cam fam.
Howdy from the tiny stretch of Route 66 that passes through Kansas! So many fun things to do and see on the mother road! Be sure to give our little corner of KS a wave!
This is a great video. When I was a kid growing up, we lived in Chicago, and drove to Independence MO to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We always went down US 66 to Springfield then went west on US 36 to Hannibal MO. Used to drive it home to New Mexico after visiting the folks. It's quite a trip! Brought back a lot of memories! 😎👍
Community Garage is the bomb. I use them for work on my RV, but we live within 5 miles of them.
I’m so excited that you’re driving Route 66! I just drove it in May and am excited to see the sights again as you visit them. It’s a great adventure!
We were on Route 66 today. I kept an eye out for your new rig. Safe travels. Looking forward to this season.
We did Route 66 on a motorcycle 2 years ago…what a blast! Enjoy all the quirks along the route!
I especially loved Gary’s and Charlie’s narration. Have a great time…
That was one of the best episodes you have done. I laughed so hard at Gary
That squeak “OH MY GOSH THERE IT IS!” was classic! ❤️🤣👍🏼
Save the Best for last, Nebraska. Safe travels and thank you for taking us along.
We sold our house in February and hit the road in June! Route 66 is something that is on the top of our list!! We are so excited you are doing it first…we are watching closely!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Love, love, love this video. And the “theme” Route 66 beginning to end. Plus HORN (think you scared the poop outta the guy on the street corner in Chicago! And “a Gary” (gotta get one) his voice cracks me up and the way you’ve worked into the video…marvelous! Don’t let Charlie eat him. Can’t wait for next week, 😃
Yeah, I doubt he connected the horn with the "begin" sign. I'm sure locals forget about RT66.
I used to live in Braidwood (next to Wilmington) and Ive done 66 in pieces from Chicago to Joplin, Mo. The wife and I really want to do all of it. Have fun and safe travels.
Honestly, I’ve watched this episode 6 times. Tons of laughs non-stop 🤣 your creativity is making these videos so much fun to watch! Keep it going! & Safe travels 🚌💨
I like Gary and Charlie’s conversations 😂😃
Oh how I wish I could talk my hubby into doing this trip. I think we would have to start from the end of Route 66 where ever that is. Drive safe. Love going along with you on your adventures. 🥰
What fun! Fantastic idea for your new RV, classic Americana. Thank you for bringing us along.
We love all things route 66! We stopped at the Gemini giant last year, but the restaurant was closed.
In early '67 I picked up 66 in St. Louis and followed it as best I could all the way to Cal. before I had to head south to San Bernardino. No electronic maps back then. All paper. Made it on time.
I can’t imagine hitting all 50 - that’s something. I’ve been hovering around 42 states for what seems like forever! Really digging the new solar power system in the Bird too. Those new GC3 batteries that BB came out with are amazing!
We just rehabbed a 20 year old trailer. Took it through Pontiac, IL last month on it's shakedown cruise. Yep, the roads into and out of that town nearly undid us, lol! My stomach lurched when I saw that RR crossing. On the return trip my husband wanted to go back and see more of the town. I said nope, I'd had enough rock n roll. If we were there when you were, and I passed, I'll never be forgiven. (I named our rig Ginger because she's a strawberry blond, lol!)
After watching this vid, and coming to 'know' your tendencies over the seasons....I trust you will find other 'off the trail' things to do so it isn't so gimicky. Enjoy; you bring light to so many folks who can't travel!!
I grew up along Route 66 in Glendora, CA. I look forward to watching you guys drive the route. My husband really wants to do The Big Texan Challenge in Amarillo. We have stayed at the RV park next door and visited the steakhouse but he really wants to go back and do the challenge. I think he can succeed, he eats like a teenage boy and doesn’t gain a pound, it’s not fair lol.
Charlie talking to Gary at the end was epic🤣
Simply a genius episode,..........you guys know how to package fun!
Love the retro theme music. Great energy…. Pace yourselves!
We’re at the KOA on Route 66 in Amarillo watching this now.
The most fun on this one! Can’t wait for more episodes.
Loving the Route 66 series so far. It’s given us a great idea for when we ship our Motorhome over from the U.K. next September 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow, what a fun video! Love your sense of humor - thank you for inviting Gary along :)
Loving this.. Love Gary and especially talking Charlie.. Safe travels kyd
I love Gary! Reminds me of my childhood growing up in the 60's! This was a fun video and I can't wait for next week.
So, y’all pass right through my neighborhood n don’t stop by to say hello 😖! Talkn some snowflakes I North central Illinois this coming weekend…we’re winterized & stored for the winter 😢. Enjoy 66!
Y’all’s excitement is infectious. Great episode!!
I will be tuning in for more dialogue between Gary and Charlie! Hilarious 😆
Route 66, Gary, the music, the fun - this is going to be a very fun season to watch, thank you for taking us along!
I love that you braved the inner city to officially start at the beginning 💛
GREAT episode!!!!! So much fun. Ive always wanted to do the entire Route 66. I have a sprinter now so it’s on the radar!!
(Love Gary)
Another great video. I love Sunday evenings. Love your family also.
I love the Giant as the Route 66 Mascot and how Trish looks like she’s actually talking to him! The narration by the Giant is also Greta! Love this Route 66 Road trip! Y’all have fun, be safe and keep us in touch!
This is exciting! Thank you, Marc, Trish, Caleb, Charlie, and Gary, for allowing us to join you on your adventures on Route 66!
Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
Always wanting to do the Route 66, I have an RV now, so I'm one step closer to taking the trip. I hope your trip was a great one.
Since this is the start of a whole series, perhaps you can add a graphic at the fade-in of each new day with “Day X, 8:15am” or something like that. Really helps us put the whole trip into perspective. We get a feel for when your days are starting, taking breaks, ending, etc. Really puts us in the passenger seat for the journey! Glad the wiring is all buttoned up with the Subaru and can’t wait for more pieces of this Route 66 puzzle!
We'll see if we can do that.
This is so exciting! I love the “cheesiness” of the roadside attractions and a true road trip day! We’ll be hitting Route 66 in Oklahoma this summer so I’m excited to see what’s in store. I am loving the nostalgia it seems this season will bring!
I have my Rv parked at a resort a few miles from the launching pad. Great to see you guys giving that landmark the recognition it deserves. Stay safe out there !
This was fun. Thank you so much for what was a really great video.
“Just follow the upholstery.” 🤣🤣🤣
We were in Amarillo TX Tthe cadillac ranch and met a group of bikers that were from England ( Europe ) and they said they rented Harleys in Chicago to do the whole route 66. They were a very nice group , we always meet really nice people out on the road .
We have a Route 66 trip on our bucket list. It will be good to follow along with you guys.
By far your FUNNIEST episode yet! My hubs retires in 3.5 years and I'm counting down the time til our Route 66 trip! Mark and Trish, thank you so much for reminding us to make life and living FUN! What an adventure we are all on!
Those last few minutes were GOLDEN!! C’MON GARY, GET IT TOGETHER! 😂🤣😂🤣
Can't wait for the episode that Charlie and Gary are the commentators and the entire episode is from their perspective!!!❤💙❤
Am loving Gary.......and the tour. We are in Canada and may never be able to do it so we are going to milk this puppy like there is no tomorrow!
So many years - so many stories. Have fun! I’ll keep watching.
I traveled Route 66 from (started in southern Indiana) St Louis to California in 1969 in it's "heyday"! I am excited for this season and what memories it will bring back to me! I don't think I appreciated it then as much as I do now, thanks for the relive.
Thanks for sharing your journey! It will be about 8 more years before we can begin rving full time so we are enjoying your adventures until that time!
Trish does such a great job of looking interested in the wiring lingo….. 🤣🤣
This is so much fun. I can feel the excitement you all are feeling. I cracked up when Gary fell over on the dash. Your voice for him is spectacular.
This looks SO fun!
I have actually traveled pretty much all of Route 66…at work in a semi-truck.
Really looking forward to YOUR trip, though, and to doing it myself when the Mrs. and I hit the road.
Get Your Kicks
One of the cutest videos in a long time!!!! Very entertaining, thanks.
Loved the Episode, you guys are true Seekers of Adventure and the Fun Meter is in Overload. Your new Mascot seems to be enjoying himself and he’s well on his way to making himself a Bird Cast Member. Trish always comes up with an amazing tasty and nourishing meal, I could taste how good it is from here. Thanks again for making my Sunday Evening so Enjoyable. Happy Trails on Route 66. 😊👍👍👍
Thanks Richard!
Great mine dated 2012 will work just fine,thanks!
This is for Caleb. Watching this video I realized how many times your father says your name. You are a great son. So much patience. What a great video!
The best get even better... I have no words other than Wow. Oh yes, actually I do have other words: Cannot wait until next week. Safe and happy travels as always.
The most FUN RV travel video I have ever seen!!!
This is one of my favorite episodes! It feels like I’m in ‘The Bird’ with you guys going on this journey!!
Oh gee I'm going to love this. There is a place on Rout 66 in AZ that I hope you get to stop at. The Farm on Rout 66 as they take in miss treated horses and get them into better health. Awesome folks. Found out I have stage one cancer in my right lung so watching is going to be exciting for me. So much fun seeing Charlie and give him a big hug. Thank you so much and look forward to the excitement. Love y'all 😂👍🐾🌹
Keeping you in my prayers
“Have I mentioned how much I like driving the Bird”? What I say every time I get behind the wheel. Recently found elect towing outlet on rear of bus was wired incorrectly by the factory, 18 years ago! May have to add a Route 66 trip to our bucket list, right after the Lewis & Clark trail. This season will be epic!
Nice of you to understand the power of cash for after hours work. There is also more than one pin out used for the same connector. Caleb that looked like one of the old pieces of the road, they used to have a sign by them. Looks like maybe beginning of October, we were down by the windy city and could have helped you with the rest of your wiring issue. Be safe.
Very fun video, looking forward to the next! Another trip to add to our future full-time RVing life. 😁
Love the addition of Gary and his narration. This American pilgrimage is on my list. Till i start i'll live through you. Best travels.
I have to hand it to you ... driving downtown Chicago to start the road was ambitious. IMHO "Route 66" should be pronounced "root" 66 ... just like the famous namesake song says it. I heard someone point out that "root" is more common in the eastern US and "rowt" more common in the west. I think that's partially true -- people who grew up in the east and it was always root. For me [r\ut] is only used when referring to a specific road (like Route 66) while [r\aUt] is for a course of travel, i.e., paper route, or "I tried a new route today to get to the cabin." I agree with that interpretation. Have a great trip! We look forward to the journey!
We just finished Root 66. It was absolutely amazing. We'd love talking to the locals and getting their story. They did not mind talking on our videos at all. We started the route in Oklahoma City. We had no desire to go to Chicago. You're off to a great start! Lynn and Danny
Getting my “Kicks on Route 66” with Trish, Mark, Caleb, Charlie and Gary! I can’t think of a better way to spend my Sunday evenings this season. I became interested in the Route as a kid, after I started watching the TV series of the same name. My husband and I saw part of Route 66 when we visited Arizona in 2012. Traveling the entire Route , in our RV, is on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I thoroughly enjoy your video content, photography, music and editing. Sorry we missed you on your trip through CT. Safe travels!
This was so fun! Super impressed with the mechanics! So nice! Thank you for all the smiles tonight.
So much fun. You are really making me want to do a Route 66 trip. Safe travels. See ya next week. Vroom vroom!
I'm watching a 2nd time! Cannot put in words how much an uplift this 66 trip of yours is like being free in the 1960's. So many incredible memories. Thank you, thank you for the fun chats between you two...unscripted happiness 😊
You guys are the best. I so look forward to watching every week. Thank you!
Picked up on your 66 trip a few weeks ago and you are almost finished now that you have taken a break in Flagstaff. So I am starting from the beginning. I will be doing the same tour East to West this summer. You and your family are fun to watch and you have a great channel. Thanks for all the info. Here we go.
Welcome! Our playlists are best because they play in order. YT added ads to all our old videos. Sorry about that. I need to fix, but so much time!
@@KeepYourDaydream I don't mind the ads. Your channel so far is delightful and full of great info.
Since we are not full timers, I like to keep all the RV equipment in the trailer itself - ready to hit the road on a moment’s notice. For us, the trailer really needs to be like a self-contained “4cabin in the woods”.
Our Blackstone griddle, Nextgen grill & Solo Stove Bonfire all fit in our Lance 2445, which is a 30’ bunkhouse travel trailer similar in size to your Airstream. We also have two directors’ chairs that do not fold like an umbrella chair.
The only things in our truck bed are an ice chest and our eBikes, both of which we use at home, too.
While Airstreams are very nice and have great inside storage, they are way short on the exterior storage our Lance has.
Voices for Charlie and Gary...slick edits too and some great entertainment...this series is gonna be a knock out!
The rocketman on route 66 is the only 1 ive ever seen I used to drive by it daily for work
