That girl with the tattoo is Olive Oatman. She was kidnapped in an Indian raid. They killed her parents and siblings and took her and her sister captive. Her sister died of starvation, but Olive was sold to the Mohave Indians, where she stayed for 4 years, during which she was tattooed. She was eventually released for a horse and some blankets.

Hi, thanks for the great info.

Why do you not have more subscribers????? Of most of couples who do this, you are two of the most inquisitive, curiously intelligent vloggers. I love this trip you're doing and I love knowing more about the places you visit.

Drone appreciation comment ❤

The famous international law breaker Tia has to be the one that speeds! 😂

Best ep in the series. Loved the secret Grand Canyon views with the snow and clouds, the old towns and wide open skies. Fascinating that the womans Mohave tattoo was so like a Maori moko.

This is I think by far the most interesting segment in this episode… the landscape and small old towns are just too beautiful…

Great interview with Angel the father of the Mother Road . I hope that he can live to see Route 66 turn 100 and the next year he will turn 100 as well. So much history from a living legend

Hi from OZ guys, I have been catching up with you on this road trip. Spectacular space, colour and mountains and I can now understand better why you enjoyed being in Australia, travelling outside the cities. Grand Canyon was spectacular with the cloud and snow. I love the the history but also the little snippets of cultural 'things' like Tia pinching the Juniper berries. Those little things are what are what make the people real, it is what tourist do not get, and that is sad I think. Safe driving you two. Cheers!

Hello from yet another Aussie. You said you loved the complete silence of the Grand Canyon. I love the complete silence of Outback Australia. Have been following your channel for ages and enjoy every minute, Thank you.

Its not normally the one who asks the questions fault so it must be Tia

Seeing the canyon with the cloud lower than the rim is amazing. I love that you give alternative views of your destinations.

Australia and the USA have one thing in common.. BOTH BEAUTIFUL .

The Grand Canyon is amazing, did the helicopter ride around the west rim, then went camping and rafting for a week there. Seeing it from a helicopter reminded me of the Great Barrier reef, don't get a real sense of how big it is until you are elevated. Althought the GBR is bigger than alot of countries. As an Australian it felt like being in an alternative universe driving through Nevada and Arizona. It reminds me so much of the Pilbara and Kimberly, just not quite as red. You guys need to comeback and see northern WA, it's magical and the oldest place on earth in parts. You too will feel like you're in an alternative universe, just the canyons will be alot maller than what you're used to, but still incredible. And what you said about the sky being bigger is exactly what it's like in Australia in parts, the sky foes seme bigger and you feel insignificant.

One of the hardest things for me about moving from Canberra to Melbourne is the constant artificial noise. I really miss a soundscape dominated by the sounds of abundant nature. The peace you feel in your bones, your DNA, your soul when enveloped in nature is so different and so necessary.

So, as kids, Flagstaff was like going to the big city for you guys? That must feel so different now that you’ve both seen the world.

The rim of the canyon...with a dusting of snow....is well and truly on my bucket list. Have only seen it from a joyflight. Oh, Tia speeds the most for sure, but her smile will no doubt get her out of any tickets !!!!

Good to see Cheveyo survived since the previous video and Tia didn't have to take him out for scaring her... 😂

This is all so very different from Australia! Thank you so much for taking us on this trip!

It's actually very similar to alot of parts of Australia, just different in their own ways. The South West looks alot like the north-West , NT and parts of South Australia.

Thanks, guys. We are Australian and Arizona was our favourite place in the States. We stayed in Flagstaff as a base and visited Sedona, Grand Canyon and many other places…. Truly beautiful

At the Canyon on that peninsula was utterly spectacular and the views peeking through the cloud was magical and the time lapse was very cool too, great photography and content guys 👌🏼👍🏼

Omg I always thought Arizona was desert and barren. That view at the Grand Canyon was stunning! 😮 ❤

This post is crawling with us Aussies...love your work you two!

I agree…so magical the Grand Canyon in the clouds. Love that you went there instead of the regular touristy lookout. Thank you for sharing!❤

I can't get over how beautiful and stunning your videos are! Informative, interesting and so pleasant to watch. Thanks so much!

The various landscapes do remind me of remote parts of Aust!

I really enjoyed seeing you visit and explore my country (Oz) and it's so wonderful that you're sharing your home with us. Route 66 has long been a fantasy trip for me. I also love that Cheveyo takes the time to remind us how pretty Tia is ... who btw definitely speeds more. 😁

It's always going to help to have the Grand Canyon as the backdrop, but that photography was spectacular. I no longer get out so much so I live vicariously through travel channels and similar, but that was awesome. Thanks for taking us along.

It always amazes me that everywhere on earth seems to have it's own unique light. Video doesn't capture it, but it's the first thing I notice whenever I return to Australia.

I guess Tia must be the speedy Gonzales, isn’t she ? Arizona is an amazing State , the drye air makes the beautiful colors even more shining. Diners are wonderful witnesses of the 50s and should be preserved for future generations. Have an interesting and safe trip. Best wishes from Switzerland. 👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🇨🇭

I have to laugh, when you mentioned the elevation of the continental divide (which is probably at the foothills of the Rockies), that is the highest elevation in Australia (+/- 30m}.

well executed episode. interviewing the route 66 legend was done like pros. tia plays her role, with note tablet in hand, attentively. it was surreal when she transformed herself into none other than lois lane, mild-mannered reporter for the daily planet news rag. as if superman was looking down on you proudly.

It's great to get a look at Arizona. Loving the snow fall and how it beautifies the landscape but glad there isn't any in Queensland 😁I'm sure it was awesome to be at the Grand Canyon and listen to the deafening sound of silence! Great way to recharge. It's been a pleasure riding along on your Route 66 journey, your commentary is always fun and interesting and I must say that your drone footage is always brilliant to view. "Do you think it likes waffles?" Cracked me up Tia😂 Looking forward to the next travel chapter. Travel safe ❤

Missing you two from NZ.❤

Arizona looks stunning. Nice to see Tia and Cheveyo proud to show off their home turf.

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey as always!

Awesome vlog guys 💯❤️🇳🇿

Love your vids guys & your passion for both travel & your home state! Def on our bucket list in the next few years! Enjoy & I hope you are being rewarded for your great content!

Loving this road trip series ❤

What a wonderful place.

Yay! You stopped in OatMan, AZ. I love that town and knew you would too. Thanks you two

Another amazing video, thank you both. I’m guessing Tia has the lead-foot!

Wow! Beautiful guys. I love the light your capturing. All the best from down under :)

The Grand Canyon looks so amazing!

Hi from The Land Down Under. I loved Arizona and really enjoyed following along, brought back some great memories for me, thanks for sharing guys.

💙 Another great video. I like that you included brief conversations with the locals; it really helps telling the story of a town or landscape.

Truly beautiful episode guys

Loved this video, again the videoing, drone work and editing is great let alone the camera on a stick! I really enjoyed seeing the Grand Canyon in cloud, very dramatic and vastly different to my visit and helicopter flight over it a couple of years back. Certainly experienced deja vu on your visit to Seligman having experienced Angel's shop and yes even having an icecream where Tia got hers ! Wish I had seen Oatman, now that IS a great example of an old western town ..amazing :) Your drive on the longest part of Route 66 was well worth it and you again have brought to us the picturesque nature of your home state Arizona. Thank and On Ya Mates !! Oh, Tia is the lead foot ! 😇😋

Thank you for a brilliant video. It is so nice to see the other side of America , which is often misrepresented. Stunning scenery and lovely friendly people. ❤

I love this channel. You take the time to show us the whole experience, not just the big showy attractions. I almost feel like I’m travelling with you.

i went back and watched some of your early videos from your eauropean travels , and it's great to see you both more comfortable in front of the camera and your personalities have really come out with that , keep enjoying your travels , i will keep watching mainly because i enjoy you as people but also to see the world with you.

O m g , thank you so much for sharing your special view point of the Grand canyon !!!! Absolutely breathtakingly stunning... your whole route 66 trip has most definitely reignited my passion for this on my bucket list.. ❤❤ thank you so much.. ps. you 2 are such an adorable couple, have loved watching your vlogs for a few years now 😊

Thank you guys, your video to visit Grand Cayon bring back our memmory 20 years ago when our mother from Vietnam came US to visited us.

I was at the Kadampa world peace temple in Williams when it opened and enjoyed seeing it, briefly as you drived by 😊

I enjoy your videos and following your travels. I would love you to go slowly through some of the towns you pass through so viewers can see more of what they are like.

I cannot BELIEVE you two worked at the Kickstand! I go there all the time! So cool to see the fruits of your labor all these years later. Happy roadtripping!

Thank you again xx😊

Aw I thought you guys would stop by Sedona. But yeah me too, I live in AZ and didn't know some of these places. Very cool

This episode was one of the most beautifully shot videos on youtube seriously

Thank you so much for this vlog… brought back very happy memories of my last visit to the US. The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley were indelible highlights. There are lots of visually awesome parts of the US but Arizona, Montana are Wyoming are my most favourite parts. Cheers from Oz!

Thanks for taking us down your memory lane at Flagstaff.. sweet. The Grand canyon was beautiful! Love all the clouds. BTW Tia, you are not allowed to have a donkey 😅😂 love it. Keep enjoying guys ❤

Another enjoyable and interesting leg of your Route 66 journey! Spectacular views of the Grand Canyon! Love how the historic value of these small towns, their diners and retro neon signs are being preserved. You have captured the feel and essence of these places respectfully and beautifully with your videography and editing skills combined with the soundtrack. Like seeing your deep appreciation of your home state - much like my own of Australia! To weigh in on your question - I think Tia would feel the need for speed more!

Those donkeys were so adorable

Looking down onto clouds that are within the Grand Canyon makes one realise just how damn big it is. Wow! Great trip guys....the end is in sight. Well done.

I love your videos and would like to know where you got your sandals. lol You two wear them in every type of weather, different terrain, they seem to hold up well and I want a pair. Also, I don’t think Tia is the speeder, I think Cheveyo is.

Grand Canyon, awesome sight. Kinda like the Blue Mountains but no trees.

This vlog was stunning, from the filming and editing but also just for the sheer beauty of Arizona. And incredible that you guys got to talk to Angel, that was such a special opportunity and it's wonderful that you recorded that for this. Just 😍😍😍

I get what you are saying about the sky. Truly expansive. We get used to some spectacular things and only realise how uncommon they may be when we travel outside of where we were raised. For me, I have yet to see a blue sky the colour of the sky where I was raised in Adelaide SA. And to experience coastal waters as warm as there. Hawaii beat it obvs. And if I were back on the west coast, I’d been eating Mex or Baja every day as well ❤. I have memories of hiking the Grand Canyon 30 years ago - had no idea what the heck I was in for, - boy what a big day that was (and my poor feet). Enjoy and happy trails.

It's a wonderful privilege to go out and see the world, and an even bigger privilege to come home 💚

Love the footage of the canyon. I’d love to go there someday.

Such a beautiful state is Arizona, your photography was terrific at the Canyon. I have really enjoyed your trip down Route 66, thank you for showing me a part of America that goes at my pace. Speaking of pace, I'd say Tia is the fastest driver racing to get to her next coffee, burrito or ice cream 😉

I'm loving this Rt. 66 series that you guys are doing! I can't wait to see where you go next.

Loving this road trip. America is different but same as Oz, it is huge and a lot of empty space with characters everywhere. The Grand Canyon was the absolute highlight of my USA trip. I think it is the majestic feel, hard to describe the peace you feel when looking over it. Sad this trip is over, but onto the next adventure. Safe travels.

Awesome video capturing the beauty & nostalgia of the past perfectly. It just reminds us the need to slow the pace down & open our eyes to the simple things in life usually are the most rewarding for the soul. Fast paced busy/noisy/SM addicted city life is driving anziety & depression big time in our younger Y & Z generation. I think if you two can make it back to Australia and finish off the West Coast and the Kimberleys between the months of May & Sept the absolute beauty of nature's best will remind you of back home for sure (but this time in a 4WD with a camper on the roof)

Arizona looks spectacular, love the shots of the Grand Canyon among the clouds. What happened to the boots you bought in Germany? They would have kept your feet warm!

Hello from Australia thank you for this wonderful series about Route 66 can't wait to see how you finish the journey in your last video!

What a trip you two have had, I've watched you both all of the place and now you're back on home turf, brilliant!

Thanks for the video. It takes us back to our trip along 66. Especially loved Oatman. Good luck in California. It might be more difficult to find some of the old roads in places like LA, but there are some real treasures for anyone looking. Have fun, be safe.

Would you be willing to share that view point at the Grand Canyon? I've been to the Grand Canyon like 25 times in my life and it's been mostly in the southern entrance with the normal views that everyone sees. Would love to see where you were, it is absoluately stunning!

Lovely to see you two again (from Oz)

I saw your Stockholm video and since then I have been watching all of these as you've been publishing them. (I think KZread recommended it to me because I live there lol.) 😂 I just wanted to say, thank you so much for these videos and for the effort you go through to tell the story of route 66 and show these amazing places. Those shots of the grand canyon were seriously amazing. You guys have a great eye for composition. I really hope to come back to the US at some point and see the Grand Canyon for myself and maybe even drive the whole route. I also hope you guys get to see Stockholm again some day. It's a very different city in the summer I promise! 😁

Guy’s really enjoyed! Living in Japan and home (Chicago 6,346 miles) makes me homesick as your trip has always been my Bucket List trip. #1 place on my lust being Grand Canyon in winter. More importantly, every time you guys get “killer burritos “ I about die over jealousy. Japan is so void of “Killer Burritos “! My wife and I (and dog) love your Channel!

I reckon Tia would be the speeder . Great trip of Route 66 and nearly at it's end . Don't forget you still have the Northwest of Western Australia to complete your Aussie journey . Happy travels :-)

Hi, years ago I had horses, mules and a mammoth Jack donkey. Called him Billy Jack. He was possibly the best pet I’ve ever had. If someday you settle in a rural area or have average get a donkey, you will love it. Steve(68yrs) Manitoba

Another great vlog and how fabulous is the guy who initiated Route 66. Can’t believe he is 97 🎉. The Grand Canyon looked amazing. The Capertee Valley about 3 hours west of Sydney is the widest Canyon in the world. Very different and not as spectacular as the Grand Canyon but a fun fact for trivia nights.

21:22 - Is that somebody's home up on the hill? That's pretty cool.

Tia’s the road runner for sure!

I loved the last town with the donkeys. I could just visualise it back in yesteryear in the cowboy era haha.

Wow arizona looks stunning! I'm from Australia and your aussie videos were recommended to me so I went back and watched all your previous videos up until now. I love your videos and you guys are such a cute couple! Me, my parents and my bf are visiting arizona as my dad is from Chicago and we have family in 6 different states across usa. So excited to see the grand canyon and explore arizona in September🤩

Socks with flip flops, a big no, no.😂 Snow in AZ is beautiful. As long as it's a light dusting. I went when there was snow on the ground, and it was gorgeous!! Seligman? I wish I knew...drove right by on Hwy 40. Gotta stop next time. Tia speeds more. That's the reason her right foot is so much larger than her left. Go to Lake Havasu City and feature the London Bridge. It's just south of you. You guys are probably done with Rte 66 by now?

The same thing has happened here with the highways bypassing the little towns.

You guys are crazy wandering around in the snow in sandals lol. What happened to the boots you bought in Germany?

Hi from Adelaide, South Oz. Recently I watched a docco on LA. Facial tattoos on women (at least, don't know about the men) were part of the culture of the first nations people in the LA region.

There be snow in the great dessert in Australia and Africa.
