The fact that the man hand carved, painted and assembled all of these BY HIMSELF is absolutely mind boggling! Thank you for taking us there Justin. 👍👍👍
As a native of Albuquerque, thank you for sharing this! The charm and beauty of our town never dims.
Its on my bucket list
London can actually say more than one word! Wow!
He's a teenager
Since moving to Florida this year I have missed living close to Route 66. Thanks @Justin Scarred for making this trip again.
Its great London is starting to open up on camera as he gains his confidence he will be fine, I was the same way in my teens and my dad took me on simular adventures including boating fishing hunting and camping. God bless my father he is now 95 in the hospital after a stroke and im talking to him about our adventures and he rembers them. Also key in raising a teen is to do things they like and show interest in their hobby.
I can see why you love Tinker Town so much. Ross left an incredible legacy.

Hahahaa...
Nice too seen Londen smiling 😊thanks Justin too sharing your passion whit us your the best
You absolutely need to come to the Abita Mystery House in Abita Springs, LA! It's very much like Tinkertown. Just a short drive away from New Orleans (which you also need to come to)
my first time seeing London, hes a spitting image of his old man, seems like a very level headed young man, good job dad!
It's really nice to see a father and son enjoying the magic and mystique of the old Route 66!
Tinkertown looks to be The House on the Rock of the Southwest. Weird and Wonderful.
Love how you are able to share some of your passion with your son. Hope to be able to do that one day with my two little girls.
This is such an inspiring travel- Route 66! We’ll travel in April and hopefully your enthusiasm will rub on me looking at all this attractions!♥️♥️♥️
Wow and wow and wow that was the coolest thing ever!
My mind is officially blown that this man did all this incredible work!
We like to travel 66 ...but never knew about this place!❤❤❤
It's wonderful! Thankyou so much for this video!❤❤❤❤
Another great video Justin! My family and I travel that route quite a bit from Colorado to Arizona we are definitely going to stop and check these places out next time. at the beginning of the video you mentioned you were in a punk band So I looked you up and lo and behold I have seen your band a couple of times! At least once with naked aggression and I believe with jughead's Revenge I grew up a punk rocker in Southern California also.... the 90s were quite a Time for punk rock in our neck of the woods Bravo my brother in arms keep them coming and I'll keep watching... PND!
London always looks bored to tears. It's good you're taking him on these adventures because someday when you're gone he's going to have big shoes to fill, and he'll have these memories from which to do so. I think he'll fill them well. These appreciations come with age; right now he's thinking "Geez, my friends are going to see me and my dad and think I'm a total nerd if I get pumped about any of this stuff." When you're gone, he's going to pay you back for sharing your love of life with him. Good on ya, bro. He might even kick in while you're still here to appreciate it.
You really gotta wonder how one guy could possibly create so much by himself. Good lord! He missed a LOT of TV!🤣
Dang, gotta watch the debate. Back to this later!
You definitely have to visit House On The Rock some day! Keep up the great work and fun travels!
Great Video. So many great attractions, so little time. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to seeing your road trips.
I think the best part of you is that hidden shy part. I appreciate your spirit!
Tinkertown just seems like a very unique roadside attraction. The camera probably doesn’t do it justice
That diorama was epic!!!
Thanks for sharing. This place looks AWESOME. You find all of these awesome little spots like this that I have never heard of. This kind of stuff is my favorite content from you. :)
❤Hey London here is what you reply to all those smarties that comment on your limited amount of. speech "*It is better to keep your. Mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot than open their mouths n prove that they!!!! Another good thing to do is just pick out a strange word (like jarg) n use that word as an answer for everything , Like jarg dude, how jarg, jarg it!!! They won't know what it means, cuz it's an old 1940's term for something cool) The more you say it the more confused the unknowing people will be,!!!! I use what's the rumpus for hey hi what up. They don't know that awesome word, Try it n let me know how it works n I will be ALWAYS be the TOTALLY coolest dude of all,!!!! I am 67 n a white heavy metal singer for years n I am ALWAYS the coolest cat around,!! Just jarg it babe!!!🎉✌️🌚☠️🔥😎🥳
I loved your visit to Tinker Town - I now live in Las Cruces which is a little over 4 hours away, but this would definitely be worth a weekend trip!
You're the best. I am surprised your son didn't grow up on rt66. Ha Rt66 is the US history that we should all see and experience.
All I can say is WOW! I've seen previous vlogs you have made of Tinker Town, but each time I am impressed by the level of detail and imagination and work that went into this place.
you literally explained and described tinkertown the best way. its so true it is amazing and worth multiple visits, it left me with lasting joy and desires to return and upon seeing many roadside attractions across the country, it too is my most favorite. my uncle lives nearby and has become friends with owners wife who still runs the place.
Wow Tikertown looks soo amazing! Definitely too much to loo at I’d end up being there all day! :) hope you had fun!
Justin; "You grew up with me"
London: don't remind me
Really enjoyed this video - as usual! Tinkertown is on my list. It reminds me of House on the Rock in Wisconsin. Looking forward to riding along on this trip. Thanks!!!
This is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing this gem with everyone and for your energy, Justin. Looking at all the small details of this man’s work makes you appreciate human imagination. SO much fun.
I watched this post 3 times, & I want so badly to see Tinkertown now. Thanks & have a good couple of days off.
I can go sleep well now! I watched this just before sleeping haha!
Loving this trip. Got me inspired to plan a drive for next spring.
Best content on CZcams since the inception! ❤
Alba-coy-kee Doc!
this isn't Pismo Beach !
This place was insane. So much stuff, almost overstimulation!!!
keep on rockin in the free world randoms !
Don’t forget the "baby rattlers" of Calico Ghost Town.
Enjoying this series so much!
It always throws me off when Justin throws in random Ghost references
I got surpriseingly excited when I noticed the Ghost lyric reference lol
Allthewaytotheveryend Club 4 Lyfe!
That was fun!
I love Tinkertown!
LOL “no brain!” 🤪 End of the Video Club!!! 😎
That’s so cool! I make miniatures and dolls, if I ever get to go there I will probably spend hours staring at everything lol
Great video. Keep up the great work.
Hi Justin, I love your videos, I could watch them all day long. Just wondering, ever wake up and it takes a minute for you to remember where you are? I would, 😊 R✨ is for 'Rattlesnake'!
If ya love this place, u should check out the house on the rocks in Wisconsin. 👍 ✌❤ 🤠
Fun fact: at 33:26 “The Magic Box” is a very famous magician’s illusion called The Zig Zag that I used to perform with a magician in Dallas, TX!
When you get to Chicago you should go a little bit further north to Long Grove and go to the sock monkey museum I feel like you would think it is pretty fun tbh
1,000 bottles of beer in the walls...won't you take me to Tinkertown... kinda place you need 3 pairs of eyes
Justin really needs to visit House on the Rock if he likes this.
liking this 66 trip!
I don't watch TV Land. I watch... RANDOMLAND.
They like to be referred to as "souly challenged" love your videos keep it up
Unbelieveable. Did he had family and where is he buried?
You ever been up to the Sandia crest just up the road from Tinkertown? Looks down over ABQ. Definitely worth the extra drive for all the views across New Mexico.
Super cool.
London may feel he has the Oddest Dad in the world! Give it time, You will be a proud son to him!!
Man I wish I knew you were here.
“Clear brain” 😂😂😂
This place reminds me a lot of your antique store that has your booth in it😅
In 2017 he let my very well behaved dogs come through with my husband and I. I'm not a fan of snakes, but this was a very well exhibited and taken care of attraction
I can’t help but think of the goofy movie 😂
Its called "Smooth Brain Syndrome" When your mind gets over whelmed. I've suffered from that a few times myself. But its not a bad feeling :) Take care you two nuts. And be safe.
"Brain and Brain! What is Brain!"
Albakwoikee? Bon voyegee!!!
PSSST! London! The answer to "Do you like old stuff"? Is ALWAYS, "I like you!"
London must have liked it. We got entire sentences. 😂💕
6:38
So was you dreaming or not 😂 jk
Dont take the interstate up. You missed the musical road!
Was that a ghost reference I heard 👀
yes, yes i think it was :D
🤩🎉
Every year in Springfield, Missouri on route 66 February they usually circus put on by the Shriners
Clear brain….Route 66 …clear brain….c l e a r b r a I n …..heh heh
Ghost mentioned
The bigger the shoes, the bigger the socks 🧦😅
Im part of the
All The Way To The Very End Club
I’ve been to that rattlesnake museum. Has a very interesting smell…🤢
Must be the red or green chile we put on everything here in New Mexico! 🤣🌶
@@DukeCityExplorer I thought it was weird that they had methane powered cars but it all makes sense now. They have a pure supply
Damn this guy is still around making videos ??
did you drop or bang your camera? i only ask because i see "the pixel" 😱
🤙
Have you been to circus world
Anyone know which state Justin hasn’t been to?
