Billy completes the last leg of his motor-trike journey along the world-famous Route 66. He visits a massive meteorite crater in Arizona, before heading to the Grand Canyon. He meets a campaigner trying to keep the historic route alive, and bottle-feeds a lion cub in a sanctuary for unwanted exotic pets. Finally, he reflects on his 3,000-mile ride when he ends his travels in Santa Monica, California.

Favorite line, "I seen it, done it and now I'm going to get the t-shirt." 🤣

I did the 66 as a truck driver. One of the best experiences of my life, but Billy put it into words that i could never do. Well done Billy, you brought back amazing memories for me mate

In the 1950's and '60's my parents took us on many trips on the complete route 66 road. Such amazing memories.

@mortenfrederiksen3923 2 years ago

Easily and by quite a margin one of the best traveling documentaries, I've ever seen. Billy – as always – has a presence and a glimpse in the eyes, that reaches out even through the screen.

So nice that the Big Yin will live on through this and all of his other work, and that people will be able to enjoy it just like he enjoyed making it 🧡😎

Me and the Mrs.'s drove 66 in 2006. We started from Chapel Hill. NC, and met up with the gang in Springfield Mo. We left Springfield and went across America all the way to Santa Monica California. We had a great time and kicks aplenty. The first time we went cross county was 1976 with a baby and a dog and ended up in the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County.

I had my own Route 66 adventure years ago. It is a magical, American trail. And at the Grand Canyon I rode the donkeys to the bottom, camped, and back up the next day. Most thrilling thing I've done.

Billy on 66 may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on the YouTube.
I'm alternating between laughing and crying.

Thanks, Billy. This was a treat for this American who will probably never be able to make the trip.

We will always love you, Billy, I will always love you. Your spirit is in all of us who love you. Thank you for the joy XXX

this is brilliant. I've loved Billy since we first saw him on TV when we lived in Scotland in the early 70s. His human take on the humanity on Route 66 moved me to tears more than once. I'm so grateful to have witnessed this amazing journey by a legendary Scot. Thanks, Billy!!

If Billy (or any one of us) had travelled this same route in 1955 the impressions would have been so different. I knew a guy who's family did just that. I wish I could. All those towns were still vibrant.

Cannot believe it’s been 12 years since I saw this on tv. Loved all the travel shows Billy has done. Sorry he’s not able to do them anymore.
