This has been in the works for a while. But on Monday, Denver-based photographer KC Keefer launched his “Genuine Route 66 Life” channel on YouTube.
The channel is subtitled “American Stories from the Route,” and this is what the series is about:
“Genuine Route 66 Life” is a celebration of people from around the world that share the same love for Route 66 and American nostalgia. These “American Stories From The Route” include writers, artists, innkeepers, restaurant and gift shop owners and perhaps most importantly the travelers from all over the world that keep the route alive. We hope you enjoy this self-funded project produced by KC Keefer, co-producer Nancy Barlow.

Here’s another clip about Tucumcari artist Doug Quarles:
One about Dennis Purschwitz, owner of the Midpoint Cafe in Adrian, Texas:
Finally, one about French Route 66 enthusiast Sylvie Toullec:

KC & Nancy are great people. Had the pleasure of spending time with them the last time they were in Tucumcari.
