Route 66 Road Trip Stops in Missouri - Through My Lens

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Missouri is the second to last state we drove through on our 14 day Route 66 road trip. It was a fun state to get to know more and I especially loved the fact that there are so many caves to tour in Missouri, with Meramec Caverns being a major highlight for me. Some of the other highlights during this portion of the route were our time visiting Gary's Gay Parita, the Chain of the Rock Bridge, the large rocking chair and the fun roadside stop of Uranus. Benji: I grew up in this area, my dad, my mom, my grandma and grandpa are all buried in Bourbon, MO and I didn't know about some of these places, tbh. I'm going to go soon

I quite liked the Video because it has shown nice Places on Route 66 such as Ted Drewes, which sells nice ice cream and stuff and it's like so much fun to see it. Another nice sight were the Praying Hands, which were like 32 feet tall and they could easily be seen from the road and looked amazing at sunset. The Route 66 drive in Theatre is definitely a place to go for me because I love open air Movies and stuff like that, but its kind of sad that there are no movies on weekdays. The Gay Parita Sinclair Station is a nice little Place with a replica gas station from 1930s with real pumps and there are all sorts of memorabilia from Route 66 history.
The Last sight where I definitely want to go is the Jasper County Courthouse because it has this spectacular architecture and there is even a little museum inside. It was built in 1894 which makes it much more interesting. Go on with nice Videos like this.

Thanks so much for posting this. My wife and I just got back from a weekend trip to Springfield, Mo. We watched your videos before we left and stopped at several different places. We enjoyed most of the stops. We didn't even know about the big chair until this video. Hope others get to watch this and enjoy some stops. If you do, tell the merchants you saw this video. I told them and they were surprised.

14: 39 the hillbilly's top hand was taken off by a semi truck pulling thru the lot, which broke the motor that spun the arms which is why they aren't spinning in the video just in case you were wondering lol. I worked at the store he is in front of at the time this was filmed, very neat to have stumbled across this vid, great job sir.

I did this road trip and I stopped at the Meramac caverns. That was fun, our tour guide was a de shelved looking young man who looked like he just woke up and was tucking in his shirt. And at the end he was controlling the lights for the light show ending. It was very patriotic and loved it

Very nice video. We are planning on exploring the Missouri section of Route 66 this summer. We usually travel in a 30 foot Class C motorhome and were wondering if you thought we'd have any problems following the old route in it?

Glad to hear about the Grandaddy of Bass Pro Shops. We're going to drive up from Rogers, Arkansas to see it. We didn't even know about it or that it was so close! Thanks for such a great video!

As a resident of Springfield, SW MO has tons of gems. The more I travel the world, the more I love Springfield. I actually worked at that Steak n Shake years ago! Thanks for the video!

Ted Drewes is probably the best frozen custard anywhere. I have plans to travel 66 thru Missouri and Oklahoma in a month or so- Ted Drewes is on my list of places to stop!
