    I remember going through Needles in the Summer of 1960 with my parents brother and sister about 5pm it was 122 degrees. I was 10 years old in a 1955 Ford, no air condition of course. I traveled the old Route 66 many times before I-40 was built.

    Leaving El Cajon, California 1963 heading to El Paso. Mom and I. Route 66 almost through Needles. Two cars coming at us drag racing. Ran us off the road. We were ok but really shook up. The car was actually swaying back and forth from their passing. No air in the car, and the cheese in the console melted. Probably a 140 degrees at noon. Always wondered about my mom. Lol we spent the night in Needles.

    @Palman74 Před 2 lety +2

    Noticed your comment about fuel prices influencing your travels to California. I think that this summer season might really be seriously effected by fuel prices. I'm already reconsidering my travels as fuel prices change the balance of fun vs. cash outlay. Its a sad state of affairs around the world and how its also impacting U.S. citizens. First we had Covid taking the fun out of travel and now we're saddled with out of site fuel costs.
    I admire your tenacity to keep going and bringing entertainment and information to everyone. I hope to be a traveler in the next month but how far I go might get substantially changed.
    Keep on keeping on, Russ!

    I wonder how the paddle wheeler boats were transported out to the Colorado River? When I lived in the Pittsburgh area, all I heard was how hot it was in Needles, CA. Just to note, diesel here in Virginia is $3.99/gal.

      The paddle boats came up through the gulf of California. Before all the dams on the river the boats could go clear up to Overton Nevada.

    Again Russ of RVerTV IF and WHEN the price of fuel goes down now about a trip of Kingman to the Grand Canyon Skywalk by way of Stockton Hill Road? I don't the exact route but, I've heard it's only61 miles.
    Just moved here 3 years ago from the midwest and, still learning the territory out here.
