I got a chance to drive Route 66. It had always been a dream of mine. It was the best drive of my life. I couldn't believe it.

Put THAT rock in your pocket...I can't anymore as I am handicapped, both legs above the knee amputation, got blown up doing broadcast engineering, for forty plus years enjoyed your trip today. Thank you, . Blessings CLIff

Kingman Arizona where my husband bought my wedding ring before we went to Las Vegas

As a young man of 21 years old right out of the Navy 50 years ago I worked as a laborer for 2 carpenters that in 1966 were building summer cabins around that area. I had board and room at the resort main motel and later up on the hill in trade for taking care of horses daily and guiding trail rides on the weekends. I visited there in 2019. Understandably lots of changes. Horses and stable gone, motel still there etc.

Always look forward to coffee with Russ's road trips! Beautiful area today. Thank you for taking us with you!

Nothing better then the Southwest USA. Going through that area means I’m almost home. Home to northern New Mexico.

Old Kingman I grew up there , my daughter is still living there , thank you for these videos, with me being in Ohio now for the last 22 years I'm really missing Arizona and your northern Arizona videos bring me home and tears fill my eyes so thank you

Visited the Route 66 museum. Nice place to learn about history.

Wow! The puffy white clouds pasted across the blue of the sky is breath-taking. The sharp edges of the road that have been hewn out of the rock is so distinct. What wonderful glimpses of the old buildings and how one gets such a sense of the time past. The mountains and greenery are just so stunning. As we remain shut in, We thank you for taking us out with your gorgeous videos and detailed descriptions. Thank you so much! Just MARVELOUS! And another AWH!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!! Job!!!!!!!!

I remember my first impression of Northern Arizona was the diversity of the landscapes and how fast it would change. For people that have never been to the area it's hard to imagine just how small of an area these videos have covered. Remember the hills covered with cactus on the way to the mine? 10 miles to Hualapai mountain as the crow flies. Davis dam on the Colorado river? 40 miles. It is truly a wonderous area of the country and I thank you for bringing to us.

Every time I've ever been to Kingman I've never thought of a park like this this park is awesome it's only 15 miles away who would have thought you learn something new everyday on rvers TV

What a beautiful park! Beautiful blue skies with scattered wispy clouds. Love the stone cabins. Thank you for another amazing ride along Russ!!

They were named after the Hualapai Indian tribe that used to be a sacred place for them

I am shocked that you did not see any elk or deer, they are usually very plentiful up there. Hualapai Peak, is 8,417 feet, and it is highest point in Mohave County. Thank you, for sharing the nice drive.

Remember Russ that the Hualapai’s is 20 degrees cooler than Havasu.

We just did part of your route from 66 to Kingman and proceeded to Fort Beale. The weather was absolutely at beautiful 74 degrees today. Thank you for everything that you share with us 👍

We were just out there two weeks ago! I wish we were there! Followed 66 from Ft Mohave/Bullhead City to Albuquerque! ❤️❤️❤️

LOVE you're trips russ

I don't know if you ever read or reply to comments, but Kingman has a lot of good memories for me. If you go back , go out to the the old air force base out by the airport. A couple of old hanger from back in world war 2..

Kingman is a good town with a ton of history

THANKS Russ!

You were very close to the Hualapai Mountain Lodge. They used to have a good breakfast buffet up there that I liked. 4:40 - On the left is the Hill Top Motel. The Oklahoma City bomber stayed there on his way to Oklahoma City just before he blew up the Federal building.

That was really cool! Beautiful area! I'll have to check that out next time I'm in Kingman. Thanks for sharing it with us Russ!

I grew up in Bullhead city... Went to school in Kingman ... Many happy memories looking at yout films of lk mohave (katherine landing ) willow beach ... Etc . Thank you .

Thank You Russ for taking us on the adventures all over with you...!!

Oh Rver - you are making me homesick - lol ~ My Dad, "Bill" lives up there in Kingman and I always make him take me to the Hualapai Lodge for dinner and the live bands on the weekends

Used to run around when 66 was the only road, back in the middle 50s... showing my age, hahaha hehe. CLIff...

That Hualipi County Park area is amazing! Thanks Russ!!

One thing i cant get use to is no RIVERS or creeks to camp beside. Camped in Sedona , mvp ( john ford pt ) which was 1 nightmare but , that. Was 30 yrs ago. Thanks Russ your videos showed me some places .

Those mountains make for a very scenic drive. Thanks Russ for taking us along!! Thumbs Up!!

What a beautiful spot! Thanks for driving! So green there. Residents seem eager to enjoy the park! We need our Summer retreats to relax. Love the pine trees!

Thanks for doing this one! I have driven past the exit to Hualapai Park many times, every time saying next trip we are going to see what's there. Now I know. Thanks again!

There was a family bench donated in there said 55 years of family & first names, a generation of kids who may have grown up in that park, must be nice memories.

I would like to say Thank You from all of us shut-ins. It really is a breath of fresh air to see the Blue Sky and puffy clouds imagining we there (really good on my daughter's big screen tv) .

This brings back the memories! I lived in Oatman in the 90s, and used to come up here to get out of the heat. My birthday is in July, and used to rent a cabin sometimes as a nice present! There's one hell of a view from the top of Hualapai Peak, if you can make the hike up to the top.

For a second I thought that bench at 30:40 had the word, "CORONAVIRUS" carved in it. Now back to the Boriana Mine to look for the guy with the road grader! Thanks for the traveling, Russ.

Wow I didn’t even know this place existed! AZ has so much to offer.

Right there around @3:22 on your left where old Route 66 meets Beale Street is a small but very interesting museum.

I'm a Mohave County landowner from the midwest. I've been to Kingman and saw my land in Golden Valley in 2012. Thanks for showing me around the area.

Thanks Russ never knew this existed and is so pretty ( I live in az) also I love your voice.. it’s melodic 😬

I love that I found you. My late husband loved to travel but it was always a chore to get him to stop to explore.

Another great video. We used to go to the Hualapais just for the day to cool off from Havasu

Never been to Kingman.... Gotta to go there soon.

Russ your videos are some of the clearest I have seen. You and your equipment are excellent.

Another cool video, were making a bucket list from all your wonderful videos, seems like the Kingman area has a lot to offer....

Awesome video! I'm moving to wikieup, AZ later this year and my Uncle preaches about this place. Heck, the views of the Hualapai's at sunset is absolutely gorgeous. Cant wait to explore this campground when i move down there. They have pictures of elk coming right up to them in the campground as well. Anyways, great vid and have a good day!

That was a wonderful video of a new place for us. Thanks, we really enjoyed 🎄❤️🌺

Excellent as always. Thank you. Stay safe, stay healthy.

It's not in the middle of nowhere...its Arizona

Actually the old pine lake was a watering reservoir for the cattle company up there they call it a lake it’s not really a lake it’s more of a stock pond are used to swim in it when I was a kid and that place you turned around that was the Hualapai Mountain Lodge good food nice little bar

Bravo , Great video / Great views. Russ , RVerTV fans Love your channel - videos. I found RVerTV back in 2019 ; July.3. 2019. Thank you Russ.

Hey I see our camper In the campground!

Nice easy pace video. Felt like I was right there with you. Love those Arizona "sky islands."

Hi fellow river! ☺ you probably won't see this because it was a year ago but you came across my feed and the title caught my eye . I just m9ved to dolan springs and I love it here. I am on a five acre lot in the dust bowl across from the chevron... no one told me about the constant winds but there you have it. I love the quiet and the stars at night! Makes it all worth it. I work all day on the land and I feel so great at the end of the day. Anyway, sorry for Ramblin 🙂 thanks for the look at halipi was wondering and now I know lol definitely subbed

Last year, National Trails day had free admission and two nice guided hikes.

Thank you for taking us with you.

Very nice area.

Hey Russ, for a sec i thought you were behind a fish stock truck. Oh well just water. Thanks for the ride

Thank you! That was very enjoyable. I just moved to the Kingman area so it's nice to see the places to explore around here.

Deer hunted all around Hualapai Mtn. from 1975 to ‘78. No paved roads or house development up there then. Four wheel drive only. Aspen groves dotted the mountain. Came in from Phoenix to Chicken Springs road in Wikieup.

Nice find. Looks like a beautiful place to camp. Love all the trees for shade.

The top of the mountain is called potato patch.....its a rough road up that way but its mainly used for boy scouts camp

So so beautiful

Beautiful Video, thanks

. X-44 YEA!

Love this place! Stone cabins!

Great camp ground in higher altitude. Bet it’s packed during normal times.

Russ, like too see more on 66, the Original alignment..Very Enjoyable looking at your video today Russ......Thanks...............JB.

It’s best if you take either of the Andy Devine or Beale Exits. The exit you took takes you past our sewers and jail. And that road is awful. As far as RV Parks KOA on Roosevelt or Settlin inn out in Golden Valley right before you go down the hill to Bullhead City. The other RV parks aren’t kept very well.

Thanks for the memories.

Yaa, opening up. We left AZ in may. Thank God.

Thanks for the ride!

That exit off the 40 used to be called Shinerump. I take it to go to the mother inlaw house in Golden valley.

Enjoyed the ride!! Thank You!! 😊

Once again Russ you’ve shown me what a beautiful place the USA is👍🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺

Thank you for the tour Russ!

I love the high desert…

Hey Russ, do those aerofins on sides of your van help in any way with fuel mileage and control in windy areas? Thanks for the treks, just started watching your channel. Stay safe.

Are we there yet. Lol very beautiful area. 👀🚐

Really lovely scenery and sky. Thank you. Take care, stay safe and healthy.

Another great trip! Woohoo! Thanks, Russ! Giving us more ideas for our travels!

Beautiful place. Definitely a bucket-list stop on the road. Thanks for the view. And it's about that time of year again. Love it.

Nice ride

I love my little town....I have lived here most of my life but it definitely is getting bigger and more populated.....

I've road up through there on my bike. I miss the desert.

I just found your channel and I immediately subscribed - this is a wonderful video and I enjoy your commentary enormously - it’s like traveling with a friend! Thanks so much for doing this! ❤️👋

We stayed at the rock cabin you stopped at. :) Had elk come to window

Those are my mountains! Lots of memories there.

That was a fantastic vid Russ, incredibly beautiful up in the hills.

Pretty place...thanks for the ride! Stay safe
