Same! I love interstates! It gives me the feeling of adventure right away. Just the thought that the tarmac I am on goes for sometimes thousands of miles across the nation can give me goosebumps. I live really close to I-20, and sometimes I just stop and look at the cars and trucks on it and just think I wonder where they're all going. One day I'll get on the interstate and head west for good! Cheers

From Pittsburgh (I-70), currently living in Colorado Springs. When my wife and I first traveled west on I-70 from Pittsburgh to Colorado, my favorite segment of the trip was Topeka, KS to Limon, CO. The terrain in central Kansas is something special, i.m.o. Also love Limon to Kanorado. Sadly, I've only ever made the trip in early winter and late winter, when everything is dead and brown. I was delighted to see this bonus footage, and shocked at how green it all is! I'll be making this venture again in just a couple weeks. It won't look anything like this :(

Yes, brown in the winter. However, the trade-off in the summer months are the bugs. Every gas stop going across the Midwest has a portion of time devoted to scrubbing the insect remains off the windshield. All those crops, you know. Limon took a bad hit from a tornado sometime in the late 80s. Right through the town, including the area at the start of the bonus footage.

One evening we left Huron, SD after dinner to drive to our motel stop in Chamberlain. The kids fell asleep in the backseat and my wife and I watched the sun set and thunderstorms form on the horizon.

Loving how just before the second leg of your journey begins it started con la pioggia!! ^__^ And this song writer has it right, rain on the face can feel so refreshing/sweet (it all depends). I loved the song so much I downloaded it to my phone and some others, I love the way he writes it is so down to earth and legit, so real though some of them are... maudlin which makes me hope that resolution came, though it's hard to know whose story it was when two (or more create a song which is kinda annoying -- in a sense). Love the piano on the 3rd leg of your journey. Wild fire song is nice also. ^^ Look forward to the next time you will upload some videos of your travels, you seem to drive so often?

Fantastic footage! Strange, I feel a little sadness leaving the Denver area and the Rockies just watching the video, seeing the elevation gradually decline as the miles pass. In 1992 I took a road trip with my dad, getting my sister's stuff from PA and her car from NC and then heading back to California. We were on 70 from St. Louis (actually E.St Louis) to its end in Cove Fort,UT. I enjoyed the stretch in Missouri, the rolling hills made for a fun drive in a rental truck. I enjoyed Kansas like a plantar wart on the foot. Eastern Colorado excited me because I knew Denver was coming, even though the first 180 or so miles are like Kansas.

On the very day that my son was born, I had to use Limon to dodge the scales on I 70 (long story). I was at the dock picking up a super heavy load of sunflower seeds in Goodland when I got the call that my wife was in labor... I told those guys to step it up, and as a result, I ended up with about 50% more than I was supposed to have (those bastards!). Long story short, I didn't make it home in time to be there when he came into the world, but I also didn't have to pay some huge fine for being way over the weight restriction. For that, I'm forever grateful for Limon, Colorado!

FreewayJim does it again. Wonderful video! I loved the first and last segments the most. The last segment was so mellow. Makes me want to get out there this summer and drive that stretch. And you're right, I-70 between Topeka and Denver has to be the worst stretch of interstate I've ever seen. You never disappoint us. :-)

I love the dark clouds in this video. I can see that I-70 between Denver and Topeka is a nightmare to drive through. There are a lot of small towns that you can stop in to get gas for your car. However, I know that I-70 is still very boring. You might as well leave I-70 and go to Dodge City or Wichita. When you do arrive in Topeka, you'll start to see less plains. If you want to drive from Topeka to Kansas City in Kansas or Missouri, it'll only take you about a hour to drive through boring plains.

The last two songs examples of the "mellow rock" that was all over the radio in my collegiate years sometimes a little bit too much. That is why punk and new wave had to happen IMHO. I liked the flat farm territory east of Denver also. It is a part of Americana

I'm very familiar with the Limon segment of your trip, and very pleased to see that someone finally paid a little attention to that stretch of 70 between Limon and Genoa. I 70's one of those roads that seems monotonous at first, but after you get to know it, there's interesting aspects just about over it's entire length.

​@@joshuakhaos4451 We are looking at the Western slopes in Grand Junction and Palisade but you are right the whole state has experienced serious housing price increases and it kills me for what $350k buys (or doesn't) you. A no basement slab home with no back yard. If there is one only positive thing I can say about Illinois is $350k buys a lot of house with a generous back yards and full basements but that's about the only positive for me because property taxes are among the highest.

This lamb loved your music selection for this three parter. What's up with the 65 MPH speed limit around Limon? The road looks empty enough and well engineered to handle 75 MPH easily. And lambs of course will chime in with the irony of when this video being released the day after the Broncos won the super bowl!
