pristine American roads, and wonderful landscapes. a very scenic and beautiful area in America. of the many diverse and utterly stunning landscapes across that incredibly vast land.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I uploaded this video back when I had no following on my channel, so I didn't edit this the way that I should've in retrospect. I actually want to do this trip again, using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 camera that I have.

[@michaelchoi9057]

Deeply thanks for your efforts and uploading this beautiful VA + WV. I used to live at Reston, VA until 1993 and it reminds me lots of gorgeous memories. Thanks again and be safe from COVID-19 you and everyone who watched this channel. From Vancouver, Canada.

Beautyful ride, blessed with real fine weather (so far...)!

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. The weather was good throughout the entire drive. I uploaded this video back when I had no following and only did it for family and friends to see. You'll notice that there are a lot of needless turnarounds and whatnot. I'm about to upload a newer, better version of this drive that I recorded in real time. I hoped to have it posted in the next couple of days.

[@Blues666]

@@unclecoolie Wow, that would be cool! 2 parts, i guess. That trip has something charming...

[@unclecoolie]

@@Blues666 The newer video (day 1) is now uploaded, and I'm happier that this version.

[@Blues666]

@@unclecoolie Wow, thats incredible nice! Thank you very much. I will really enjoy this... :-)

[@randallcox2238]

You must not have ever watched the movie "Wrong Turn" or else you never would've gone on those back roads down by the New River Gorge.

[@unclecoolie]

I didn't realize that the Fayette Station Rd turns into a one-way road partway through it, and that's why I turned around there. But I wanted to drive through the gorge anyway, and that's why I went back across the bridge to drive in from the other side.

[@danijanimi]

I live in Norfolk, VA this interesting to look at

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I live in Herndon, where this video starts. You know I uploaded this video mainly for my family and friends to look at, as I had no followers in 2017. Looking back, I should've done a better job in editing this, and I plan to upload a newer version at some point soon.

[@aadisethu]

I’ve been to all of these places: 0:00 - 1:18

[@unclecoolie]

Same here. 😃

[@Xenotypic]

awesome channel, i love it. i live in madison by the way, about 30 min south of charleston.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks a lot! I used to live in WV years ago, and I wanted to drive through all of the parts I either lived in or have been to when I was there. The only parts I missed were Corridor G (not far from you), and out in Putnam County and out near Barboursville and Huntington. Maybe I will visit those areas during my next trip. I just got back from Parkersburg a couple of weeks ago, and I will be uploading that trip's video at some point.

[@Xenotypic]

yeah, i live right off of corridor G, I can see it out my window right now haha. Looking forward to more videos.

[@WVRailroadPapa]

I enjoyed your video. You touched most every town in the Charleston metro area except my hometown of Nitro.

[@Waddict]

We always know we've hit WV from VA because the roads instantly get better.

[@unclecoolie]

I agree. VA's roads aren't the best. Actually, the best roads that I've driven on are in Kansas. I've driven across that state twice--once on I-70, and once on US-50--and both times the roads were great.

[@andersonricharddesouza3656]

I have already been to Snowshoe ;D

[@unclecoolie]

I'd like to go there one day.

[@fucktheworld1207]

You get about.....love it...

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks!

[@dallasbittinger8184]

Would love to see a real time video of this trip. It would be cool.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. This was one of my very first road trip videos, and at the time I didn't think to record it in real-time. I have done another West Virginia road trip that I recorded in real-time that I will upload eventually.

[@ussco]

@@unclecoolie Have you heard of Green Bank WV? It is supposed to be a town than bans wifi.

[@unclecoolie]

@@ussco I have never heard of that.

[@aliyandaily1603]

Nice Video 😀

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks 😁

[@aliyandaily1603]

@@unclecoolie Welcome 😁

[@gasoline7954]

im going there this thursday, i gotta drive 8-9 hours

[@unclecoolie]

Cool. I have another, but better, road trip to WV video that I will be uploading in the next few weeks. It's always a nice drive.

[@cookieskoon2028]

Collectively the Virginias are my favorite states. They are both so beautiful. Followed closely by PA and NY. :) I suppose north/central Appalachia and the Mid Atlantic is just my favorite region overall.

[@unclecoolie]

I always liked driving through the Appalachians, too.

[@cookieskoon2028]

@@unclecoolie I am proud to be from them. Warts and all, these mountains are my home. Thanks for the video!

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I live in Virginia, not far from the mountains myself.

I drove through Montgomery the day before the Hirise Hall was demolished. I went to school at WVUIT, which is why I drove through there.

[@ainteazybeinweezy4914]

How tf does a 2 state drive end up being that long and far.

[@unclecoolie]

I uploaded this video long before my channel blew up, and I uploaded this video mainly for my family and friends to see. I did this drive to visit the several places I lived in or otherwise visited while I lived in West Virginia years ago.

7:48 66 not 64

[@unclecoolie]

This was my first road trip video upload, and it has numerous mistakes - so much so that I'll actually be doing another WV road trip in the next several weeks. When I uploaded this video, it was intended only for family and friends. (I had well under 100 subscribers back in June 2017.)

[@Josephtorto]

1:08:44

[@unclecoolie]

I had a typo at 1:08:49. I meant to state Spencer.

[@tylerdurden4483]

Why turn around all the time?. 1:12:20

[@unclecoolie]

Most of the roads in this video were roads that I deliberately drove on because I used to live near many of these places, or drove on these road many years ago - such as WV-14, WV-47, and US-33 to name a few. Where I turned around at 1:12:20 was near where my father lived at one time, but I didn't want to continue any further east on US-33 from that spot.

[@tylerdurden4483]

unclecoolie oh okay nice. Good to know

[@cjbwvuit]

unclecoolie is that why you drove up WV-14 to Reedy, only to to drive back to Spencer, then drive down WV-14 to Reedy (apparently the next morning) from Parkersburg? It would’ve been better if you edited out the redundancy. Otherwise, nice video of the typical WV landscape.
