[@georgeveziteu4389]

Man, your channel is awesome! God bless the great people of America! You are our beacon of freedom! Greetings from Romania!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for the wonderful comment and for watching!

[@rciotola100]

Really enjoy the music selections and the subtle editing that goes along with it.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@billjames3030]

​@@Freewayjim I really love you videos. This video seems like Grand Turismo video game when you speed up the filming. I live in Miami and the landscape is soooo boring. 😢

[@Freewayjim]

@@billjames3030 Thank you!

[@magnoeustaquiodocarmo5673]

your videos, I learn about the United States on the roads and on the songs. Perfect.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching!

[@KCWanderlust]

The music fits this video like a glove, Jim. And the video brings back fond (and not so fond) memories of Parley's Canyon. I almost caused a major accident going downhill in 1987. I was just learning how to drive a big rig, and it was literally my first attempt at using an engine brake. I believe "Oh my God, we're gonna die" is still echoing through the Canyon!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you and that's quite a feat for a young driver, wow, glad you made it down in one piece!

[@jameswest8280]

This drive is even more beautiful in the fall, with all the fall colors.

[@Oheeeoh]

Man I got nervous @5:55 I thought that truck was going to come over to the right lane and smush you. Thanks for the video fantastic scenery.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching!

[@Planetcharr]

soo relaxing to watch your videos.. as always, thank you for the videos and for all the other road warriors out there...

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching!

[@heids418]

Excellent video Jim! The scenery is gorgeous and the music is perfect. 🙂

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@writer125]

WOW. That was absolutely amazing, incredible, unbelievable and very breathtaking. The scenery was phenomenal. The music was perfect for every part of the trip. Thanx for posting this.

[@Freewayjim]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the kind comment.

[@MikeAW2010]

I have never fallen in love with such a perfect orchestration between Music, Scenery, and Highway until this video, especially on I-80.. .. btw freewayjim I traveled the I-80 portion of the stretching coming from Wyoming, going into Salt Lake City (originating from Atlanta, Destination Seattle) .. It was at night and I couldnt see the mountains and hills, I just knew they were there and I have always wanted to see it during the day.. and finally I got to see it!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it.

[@danielwestfall9578]

Another great video. I find myself, like a lot of your followers, looking forward to the new videos every week now. Parts of this brings me to mind of two highways here. The windy section of the WV Turnpike. Remember that section well travelling to and from NC. It also brought me to mind of I-68 from Morgantown to Cumberland. That one could make for a great video. Love the music selections as always. Have never been a huge fan of Jethro Tull, but I find myself making an exception for this one mainly because it's one I've never heard before. Again, great video and happy new year, Jim.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much and Happy New Year to you!

[@marcellusmoyer4792]

Beautiful view, It s like being on vacation behind my computer. Keep up the good work.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@socarboy]

I finally had the chance to see this Saturday afternoon after a very hectic week. Great mountain scenery with some laid back vintage tunes. Glad I caught in on my big screen with the Yamaha blasting the tunes!

[@Freewayjim]

Glad you liked it, thanks!

[@dabbingmannequinsgaming7030]

A drive through canyons that fits in with the new year. Excellent job, Freewayjim!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@MrJamesgrate]

Phenomenal drive, you do not disappoint (FreewayJim)... Love the way you handle the road despite the gorgeous scenery in front of you...

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you! This was an out of the way but fun drive, we had the time to do it so why not?

[@richhumus8367]

Very nice run, Jim - we did the Westbound chunk of I-84 from Echo down to Ogden back in late June of 2012, and I thought it was a very nice run , one of the best stretches of our entire NJ to UT trip.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@wanderer410]

Just discovered your channel and I feel so lucky! It's poetic to watch your videos. You have excellent taste in music Jim! I have been to the United States thrice and have always loved the drives on the highways. Your videos make me feel like I am on the same roads again! So thank you for that. Also, you should look at creating playlists of these songs!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy the tunes and the rides.

[@jameswest8280]

My wife has an aunt that lives in Coalville, we live in Bountiful, so we drive that route quite regularly.

[@jimsage1043]

I gotta get back out there! Enjoyed this, thanks!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching!

[@StereoSpace]

I love Utah. Such an amazing place.

[@gootchie]

Another great video with an even better soundtrack. Hadn't heard Tull's "Farm On The Freeway" in years. Brings back good memories with friends long past.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@EnzoDragon1]

Earlier this year, I was on I-80 West heading to Salt Lake from Denver and at 11:17 , I stopped at the rest area to just to see the amazing scenery!

[@upeedinalamb5297]

This lamb wishes you a happy new year. There was lots of yummy vegetation along these roads. This lamb surely won't be hungry. 😋 And as an added bonus: button copy. A rare unicorn in Utah this lamb is sure now days. Great work.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you and happy new year!

[@joyforeveryoung]

I agree with George! Kudos for a wonderful download, from CT!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@daredevilofficial4100]

FreewayJim: “We really need to clean the windshield.” Song: “Wiper, wiper…” 🤣

[@Freewayjim]

LOL, it can be a real challenge sometimes.

[@hondacivet]

I love this video, the music choices are really spot on with the great scenery. Really reminds of when I lived out west.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@JJAcrosstheUSA]

Starting 2017 on a high note....what a gorgeous drive! Plus you've got great taste in music, that track went perfectly with the video. Well done!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.

[@marhi9226]

Thanks for posting, Jim. May you have many more road trips in 2017. Happy New Year.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you Bill, Happy New Year!

[@adammoldover8769]

Absolutely marvelous. Love the videos. Keep it up!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you Adam!

[@TheEldarGuy]

I bet you've seen some scary stuff on these trips. I used to drive 6 to 8hrs each day, and you know the risks. I appreciate your work here. Beautiful music,beautiful scenery, an excellent quality. Thank you.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you David, my average day on one of these trips is 12-14 hours and I really have not seen much scary stuff over the years surprisingly enough.

[@daredevilofficial4100]

Freewayjim It’s a lucky thing you weren’t Burger Planet when the huge Lakewood I-70 crash happened. If I were Burger Planet I’d be freaking out even more than he did.

[@shakarussanders9911]

Man! I remember this drive when I was a teen with my Uncle and Grandpa I didn't appreciate it then! Such pretty land!

[@gustaveeaster9601]

Love this Utah videos.

[@Freewayjim]

You're welcome

[@mrtequilashooter]

thanks for the upload. This is one of the routes that I take my motorcycle on, I just go the opposite direction. It is very relaxing. take care.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, would love to see it in the opposite direction as well.

[@TheSolarcatcher]

That was a great ride and well worth going out of the way for. And you clinched I-84. Great music choices also. Digging that "metal" flute of Jethro Tull!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you! yes I have no regrets, just wish the weather was a little better and it's always good to clinch an Interstate. Speaking of Tull, I'll have to fit Aqualung into a video someday :)

[@verabuen7956]

Hi FreewayJim & KZbinrs Sure do Enjoy Your Traveling Videos & The Music Played!

[@cjs121675]

Very nice ride, always good to see canyon roads as well- makes me really appreciate how diverse, different freeways are and all! Hope to one day explore some of these roads myself! Happy New Year by the way!!!!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks and Happy New year!

[@tomsmith5584]

Happy New Year! Great video. I loved the music, especially the first song.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks and Happy New Year!

[@ca2fla]

Great soundtrack for a great ride, Jim. This is the type of ride that really makes me miss driving in the mountains of Southern California; Florida's too flat.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidcarson2834]

I have been on part of Interstate 80 from Salt Lake City to Park City. Very nice stretch of interstate, and it is nice in the winter as well. All of I-80 & I-84 in this video are very neat, for sure.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you

[@robertorosso2820]

A me lo Utah mi piace tantissimo. Si rimane a bocca aperta dalla naturale bellezza di questo stato. Fantastico tutto.

[@zackarychait673]

I live in NH and I thought the White Mountains were impressive... 😳 I’ve always been a fan of Utah and this vid makes me want to move there as a backup in case I decide to move out of NH. Thanks for the vid man!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching, I'm originally from NH and thought the White Mountains were all that....until I went out west.

[@nathancook1404]

I hope you had a happy New Year and some more roads to go on!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@daredevilofficial4100]

This is my favorite video of yours xD

[@danielrebecca9049]

wow sir you aare the vibe master

[@Freewayjim]

LOL, Thank you!

[@kristywarner8325]

At 6:37 is that a big M on the side of the mountain? Do you know the story behind it?

[@Freewayjim]

I think it's for a local High School or small college

[@anonymousfox345]

probably Morgan High school

[@coasterworld9448]

It is Morgan based, it is Morgan high school

[@cameronneedham3190]

I’m from Utah. Utah puts letters on the sides of the mountains everywhere. The M on that mountain stands for Morgan which is the town. Mainly they are by high schools which are who does the letters. There was a U on one mountain before he enters the first canyon because that’s the Uintas.

[@robertorosso2820]

Percorso fantastico per una visuale paesaggistica a dir poco meravigliosa. Filmati bellissimi anche se velici.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you

[@dennistyler8746]

Greetings from NH FreewayJim....perfect Jethro Tull opening song, "Farm on the Freeway". He was a rich man before, now he has a million dollars and a pickup truck.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you Dennis, I'm a NH native myself.

[@dennistyler8746]

@@Freewayjim Think I picked that up on your Franconia Notch tour. Around 0*F but with less snow than predicted, colder up North. Cheers...

[@phillipbailey6228]

I lived in salt lake city for 10 years and drove truck from 1990 to 1994 and if I could I would skip parleys canyon I would take 84 instead and come in from the north thanks for the memories I like ur videos pretty cool anyways be safe out there . Thanks again

[@amtrak49]

Great video to kick off the New Year! Lol! That is definitely some scenery!,

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, yes it was a fun drive.

The Utah Canyons sure are the most attractive views of the Rocky Mountains in Utah.

There's something about cruising through the mountains, bro. Awesome video.

Beautiful canyons of Utah...the remarkable Mormon State.

[@NickCC23]

Going westbound on I-80 in Utah at the 84 split there is an overhead sign that says "I-84 Ogden Portland" and "I-80 Salt Lake City San Francisco"

[@westdoor23]

Those Wasatch Mountains got me 'wow' 👌

[@TransCanadaPhil]

very nice. It looks much more lush and green that I would have expected around Salt Lake City. :-D I think I saw portions of this road in realtime awhile ago from BigRigTravel's channel.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you and yes, it was definitely more green and lush in places than I was expecting.

[@helenewortham1840]

Happy New year freeway love you videos 😊😊😊😊

[@Freewayjim]

Happy New Year and thank you very much!

[@NickCC23]

The US 40 intersection you showed is the western terminus of US 40.

[@lupine25]

IDK why but I always forget about this section of I-84! ... I always count 84 among the few highways I've ever seen the entire length of ... ... and then I realize every time I go that way I'm headed for SLC, so I've never seen the section east of I-15. (I think my next trip to SLC will involve a slight detour... :) ).

[@jaygee7028]

11:19 why is the view area numbered exit 166

[@vikingsbuckeyesfan]

Amazing video, Freewayjim.

[@Freewayjim]

[@kristywarner8325]

Was that snow on the mountain tops? How lovely! How do you get to drive around so many places???

[@Freewayjim]

These are just taken on road trips/vacations, I usually take one big trip a year.

[@1867Phoenix]

Jim, have you traveled eastern part I-84 west of Waterbury, CT to I-81 near Scranton, PA (The Office). I know you Traveled I-84 east of Waterbury.

[@Freewayjim]

Yes I have traveled all of it.

[@zeppinator7725]

Have you ever been on interstate 81 in Syracuse

[@Freewayjim]

Yes I have but have not filmed it.

[@davidborrink137]

It's interesting to play certain scenes at "actual speed" at .25 so it's more like traveling at 75 and catching the details. Also, it's interesting to hear "Undone" by the Guess Who at .5 or .75 as if it was sung as a slow bluesy version.

Thank you, my gear is listed in the closing credits (Sony HDR-PJ710).

[@EpicThe112]

US-40 East brings you to Atlantic city, NJ from I-80 Utah exit 140. SLC to Atlantic City with a RV should be I-80 East to Patterson NJ Exit 57 RT-19 South for GS Parkway south to exit 38 a distance of 117 Miles. Alternative route is I-80-PA-33-78-22-287-18-Parkway-ACE. Note RT-18 to parkway is exit 105 13

[@edkollin]

What was the "U" and "M" letters on the mountains early in the video for?

[@Freewayjim]

I don't know., maybe someone else does.

[@JOHANNDERDEUTSCHER]

They stand for the local high schools in the area. Just like the University of Utah has a large U above campus, some of the local high schools in Utah also place letters on the mountains above their schools.

[@cleric2371]

Yes johann is correct, it represents the high schools, colleges, high schools, and the different cities in Utah

[@christopherbuckley94]

Interestingly enough there is also a section of I-84 in Connecticut.

[@carloswilson671]

Caeshristopher Buckley It's probably another I-84. Years ago I-84 was called I-80n but it caused confusion. I remember a truck driver in Brigham City (21 miles north of Ogden) asking where I-80 was. In order to tell him I had to ask where he wanted to go. When he said Idaho I directed him to what was then I-80n which today is I-84. I-84 in the west leads to Portland Oregon thru Idaho. I-80 passes through Nevada to San Francisco.

[@EricSPizarro]

Beautiful

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks

[@ourfuntrip]

what is the average speed of your car?

[@Freewayjim]

Maybe 5-10 over the speed limit

Freewayjim Thanks ;)

[@empresslisa6875]

Look at the mountains

[@bovineking8927]

One thing that mildly annoys me about the interstate system is that I-70 terminates in the middle of Utah. Imo, to take a true East-West roadtrip, one simply must drive I-70 in Colorado (Of course, if one feels like it, taking back roads is awesome, I mean, who can argue with trail ridge road?), but I-70 only takes you to Utah. Of course, if one wanted to only take one interstate for the entire trip, then they could just take I-80---but---then they miss out on the Rockies. Of course, taking the same interstate Coast-to-Coast doesn't really matter, so one can just take the full length of I-70, then take I-15 up to I-80. Man, I have that much to rant about interstate numbers? Great video by the way, Jim!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, I-70 ending where it does doesnt bother me but I do see your point.

[@dogbarbill]

Or you could take the southern route on I-10 during the winter months. Another route is I-40 although it ends in Barstow, CA not quite all the way to the coast.

[@eltonrosas]

I grew up in this area and thought it was beautiful until I moved to Colorado. Then I realized Utah is just Colorado's baby brother. Colorado is far more impressive.

[@Freewayjim]

I would agree with that.

[@seanloring6169]

You don't normally associate red rock with Northern Utah, but there it is, starting at 8:30
