"Route 66"
Duration: 7:30Source: YouTube
Here are some of the scenes I saw along Route 66 in Arizona and California, during my recent wonderful motorcycle ride around the Southwest. The video also includes some examples of the Burma Shave ads. Here are a few websites that talk about these famous, highly entertaining ads, which were seemingly EVERYWHERE on the highways "in the old days": http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Depa... http://www.fiftiesweb.com/burma.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma-Shave http://www.signindustry.com/outdoor/a... The "Hollow Mountain" store and gas station is actually on a road that's north of Route 66, but it's funky nature fits right in with many of the quirky places on Route 66, so I included it in the video as well. There's an entire store carved into that mountain, with restrooms and storage rooms, etc. The store owner confirmed for me that the rock is a great natural insulator, so they never have to use heat during the winter, and only need air conditioning in the summer because of the heat that the refrigerator cooling units put out. The song for the video is three different versions of "Route 66", one by Depeche Mode, one by Chuck Berry, and the final version by the Rolling Stones.
