snowy starting points of day number 8 of
0:26
my route 66 adventure my hands are numb
0:32
join me shall you the iconic gold dome
0:37
of Oklahoma City best to see it from
0:41
inside the heated vehicle appears to be
0:44
a giant soda pop bottle illuminated with
0:48
different colors standing in front of a
0:53
store name of the places pops there's a
0:55
little diner inside and the store check
1:00
out the huge glass window
1:04
full of soda have a hankering for celery

1:58
this cream soda Moxie soda
2:01
Moxie soda 1884
2:13
Arcadia's Round Barn the reason it was
2:13
given that name is because it's not a
2:18
square the latch Oh slide the latch the
2:24
ledge slide the latch okay that makes
2:27
more sense before it was restored this
2:30
is what it looked like they have
2:31
definitely done a heck of a job fixing
2:34
it up made of native bur oak stands 43
2:38
feet tall if the prices of gasoline gets
2:41
too high this is the answer to your
2:43
problems go back to the good old days of
2:47
a buggy pulled by a horse
3:20
more or less pulling up into someone's
3:20
yard right now just directly up onto
3:23
someone's property the gentleman that
3:25
owns the premises has recreated some of
3:28
the really cool items from yesteryear
3:30
cautioned low-flying aircraft very low
3:36
flying between the trees little homage
3:39
to slug bug ranch and Radiator Springs
3:43
little cars action pixar style Rat Fink
3:46
has taken the wheel
3:49
I like that coca-cola mural moved out
3:52
here no one do you just a big fan of
3:53
route 66 so you decided to kind of
3:56
recreate it in your own way some of the
3:57
artifacts out there I give up my
3:59
airplanes so I could retire and I asked
4:04
myself a question foot and the hell am I
4:06
gonna do and I said I'm gonna live on
4:08
route 66 and that's I I didn't have any
4:12
idea what its gonna be I started doing
4:15
what I wanted to do and everybody
4:16
followed suit and this is my fun run so
4:24
many familiar sights here it is the
4:26
Jackrabbit the wigwams Tucumcari tonight
4:30
this place is awesome pre Ronald
4:33
McDonald there's speedy and of course
4:35
big boy on the area he has designated
4:38
the upper deck what the heck this is
4:42
awesome sitting in a VW Bug looking out
4:45
and down there there's twin arrows up
4:49
the turnout windows tape deck and the
4:53
key here got the key dangling from a
4:55
from a wire that way and you'll never
4:57
lose it out onto the balcony see the
5:09
snow
5:11
you see the dog the dog prints this is
5:15
that's so cool
5:16
like Herbie just dangling over the ledge
5:20
feels like forever ago that we left
5:22
California still heading off keeping it
5:26
going east old highway 66 he was saying
5:32
that this stretch has not been repaved
5:36
what I'm currently driving on since the
5:39
late twenties pretty freakin cool
5:44
obviously no longer in business this
5:46
historical filling station is pretty
5:49
magnificent however built in 1919 it has
5:53
an interesting tie-in to Al Capone
5:56
counterfeiting was done in a corner room
5:59
and the only way to gain entry was
6:02
through that window an operating
6:04
business with a very bizarre secret
6:08
looks like a space pod I think it's used
6:12
for storing hey Chandler Oklahoma has a
6:16
place called the st. cloud hotel I'm
6:20
from Saint Cloud Florida so my old
6:21
stomping grounds up brings back some
6:23
memories obviously no correlation to the
6:25
Central Florida community but pretty
6:27
cool nonetheless as is a full gas
6:31
station pumps would have been stationed
6:34
there this truck is ready to fuel up you
6:37
might be waiting quite a while as we
6:40
enter you'll notice the electrical panel
6:44
still in the wall and that was the
6:48
restroom remnants of the good old days
6:51
you're on the Mother Road heading now
6:53
into an interpretive center
7:04
you just tap on this bad hey guys you're
7:04
you're more Mullins lay down on watch
7:07
your videos to know this yeah just
7:11
hanging out infusium layin in the bed
7:13
watching two videos cozy learning a lot
7:19
walking on a satellite image the yellow
7:23
marking is route 66 currently in
7:27
Chandler and heading eastward some call
7:33
it the main street of America others
7:35
associate it with Will Rogers some neat
7:39
stuff in this glass case old motel keys
7:42
and paraphernalia from the past
7:53
at first I thought this was a theater
7:53
marquee it's an ATM there's an animated
7:58
guy getting money out of a ATM arrived
8:03
now at the Rock Cafe I'm walking on tire
8:08
tread this is these are pieces of tires
8:36
brings to short hook game fail like this
8:36
that we got an autographed Sally
8:38
autograph I dawn well it's the
8:40
inspiration for Sally the car the Pixar
8:44
film definitely drew a not only a lot of
8:46
inspiration but when you cruise down the
8:49
Mother Road you feel like you're in the
8:51
movie in a way just notice that Roy
8:56
Clark from he ha once ate here didn't
8:59
grab anything to eat we have an idea a
9:02
little bit later someplace else I want
9:04
to take you to we're gonna savor
9:06
appetite is a correct protocol to put
9:10
flip-flops in a shoe tree they seem to
9:17
be multiplying they're everywhere
9:20
even down in the ravine I like to
9:23
pretend it was a tradition started by
9:25
the baseball player Joe Jackson there he
9:29
is there he is
9:30
the one and only golden driller it's not
9:37
so much gold anymore he's more kind of
9:39
beige faded a little bit nonetheless
9:42
impressive 76
9:46
the tall of impressiveness tying his
9:55
shoe for sometimes he has trouble
9:57
finding all the way down here there you
10:00
go buddy
10:00
there you go arrived now in Catoosa and
10:07
for anyone who is a connoisseur of the
10:10
Mother Road excited to know that just in
10:16
I shot to where I am standing is one of
10:18
the most iconic structures 66 equipped
10:24
with a baseball cap has been hanging out
10:28
in this pond since the 1970s one of the
10:33
coolest things about it is you can walk
10:35
down directly into the belly of the
10:39
beast it's no longer allowed but you
10:41
used to be able to climb up that ladder
10:43
and dive off its tail or even slide out
10:47
of the slide protruding from the torso
10:50
oh you know just hanging out on the back
10:53
of a giant blue whale no big deal
10:58
whatever you do
11:10
my knees are getting so good they have
11:10
blocked the ladders off put a little
11:12
netting on this one and that one so if
11:16
you worried to go down the slide you'd
11:18
have a hard time getting back up from
11:20
the water's angle but in all honesty
11:23
today it's pretty chilly I don't know if
11:25
I'd even want to set foot down in that
11:28
that like the boards are a little bit
11:48
rickety and you can see down to the
11:50
bottom level but it's pretty freakin
11:52
cool up here there's these little
11:54
portals that you can peek out of fact
11:57
I'm gonna peek out of them right now and
12:00
with that it's time to be moving on it's
12:05
good to see you I'll catch you next time
12:08
no not catch you like with a fishing
12:10
pole or net I mean I'll see you around
12:13
see you next time some people hold their
12:16
breath through tunnels
12:33
I hold my breath over bridges I've seen
12:33
a lot of u-hauls in my day most of them
12:35
have different states and regions
12:37
painted on the side for promotional
12:39
material I've never seen one like this
12:42
before
12:43
close video store the fascinating thing
12:46
even though this complex is abandoned
12:49
there are some relics of the past when's
12:53
the last time you saw a sign that said
12:55
VCR rental not a whole heck of a lot
12:58
going on here in the town of Afton
13:02
pulling into not Miami Oklahoma but
13:07
Miami Oklahoma even though it's spelled
13:09
like it's Florida version it's
13:12
pronounced at least people in Oklahoma
13:15
pronounce it Miami home of Whelan's
13:18

13:39
