I am enjoying this coast to coast trip USA very much, thanks a lot for this video. Best regards from NL.

[@jarihult]

These across the U.S drives are so enjoyable , great way to see the roads and the sceneries during the coast to coast drive 😎Thank you for sharing A K 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, it's an amazing way to see the United States

[@pinkazure808]

The variety of trees and clouds is mesmerizing. 😀

[@cag19549]

I know this sounds strange, but I like to exercise watching these driving videos. That's why I like JUtah and UncleCoolie. I live in Texas and it's too hot to exercise outside. Just know that you're helping me stay in shape. 😊

[@thegamedev1]

Same for me!

[@andreaholmes180]

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm having a ball vicariously. I would never have been able to see all this. Thank you. Looking forward to more😊

[@Ayaan-p1v]

I really love long drives, me personally, I never been outside of Canada before. I was born Canadian and me watching your videos channel makes feel like I am travelling with you different places. You travel to different places in America which is really for travelers. I have a plan to travel outside of Canada & go to the U.S. and overseas.

[@elizabethshort6347]

Ahhh to be young and able to do this

[@ActionKid]

[@cag19549]

You don't have to be young to do this. I know a lot of retirees that do this. Action Kid will remember these experiences for the rest of his life. It sure beats accounting. 😊

Pleasant morning drive, it's running on my second screen and providing an excellent ambiance. Thanks AK!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@virtualtaiwan4k]

Appreciate your smooth drive and hard work. Please keep going !

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure, thanks so much for watching!

[@Ayaan-p1v]

Driving from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States is very very long drive but also fun seeing all the different sceneries as you pass different states.

[@roadsexplore]

Beautiful 2nd half of the first day of this amazing trip, crossing into Ohio, the 4th state of the day. Had a great time watching every km of it, thanks for fully sharing the trip, greetings from a road tripper from Germany!

[@cookiedais]

Thank you for these vids . This one is fascinating & also very relaxing . Great to go on a journey driven by somebody not prone to road rage !

[@WaluyaDar]

Very nice views along the way drive 👍

[@usbankusa]

Nice view. Thanks for sharing.

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome!

[@pegallen6983]

This particular part of your drive brings back so many memories. I've driven I80 from Wiles Barre to the State College exit quite a few times.

[@tjtampa214]

Putting this in my history so I can come bk2it. Thx!

[@ActionKid]

Awesome!

[@GamersCentury]

As someone who has a partner in the US that's a truck driver, these videos really help me pass time until I go back in November. I really miss being on the road just enjoying the scenery.

[@thegamedev1]

Great video! I always enjoy watching the scenery of the US from my place in Austria. It is super relaxing for me. Thanks for all your work!

[@danielward7008]

I'm in the UK and I had no idea Pennsylvania was so rural and so pretty.

[@palikliment9814]

Thanks man, really enjoy these videos! I have still a long way to go to LA! :)

[@vitomcsween974]

Thanks for sharing this with us a lot of us want to take a road trip but we don't have the time

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, I know many would love to take a road trip!

[@deaconmichael4255]

Action Kid. Your videos are the best. Especially now this cross country journey. As if you're taking us viewers with you on this journey definitely. Thank you so much for your many outstanding videos for I had watched many.

[@ActionKid]

I really appreciate it, I'm happy to be able to share my journey with everyone

[@HengMiao]

This was a smooth, relaxing drive, and the weather and sceneries were nice. 😎 Day 1 - Part 2 was a success! 👍 Thank you for sharing this drive, AK! 🤗

You're welcome, it was such a nice day to do this drive

[@kimlongsain6829]

Amazing drive. I enjoy it very much. Thank you, Action Kid, for driving it for me!

[@sethfranklin8079]

Safe travels! Greetings from Berwick,Pennsylvania

[@carlloar9768]

Thanks Kenneth for putting 1-7 back up

[@carmenl163]

The way you drive (and most Americans) is very different from the way we drive in the Netherlands. The left lane is considered a passing lane and not a fast lane. So, driving in the left lane without overtaking is a traffic violation that can cost you a $273 fine. Taking over on the right is another thing that can cost you a $240 fine. In my country, this could have been an expensive trip for you!

[@JJFlores197]

We suck at driving in the US. Technically we have those same laws/rules, but they're rarely enforced leading to many people driving like this.

[@NJRB23]

@@JJFlores197 Except in jersey in the beginning lol. If not enforced by a cop either enforced by road rage unfortunately.

[@andrewli1120]

Good morning from NYC, great videos

[@ActionKid]

[@GhostofTradition]

always interesting to see the big mountains in PA quickly become very flat and the great plans begin

[@fredredmon5828]

11:39 Wednesday night part one in the books see if I can get through part two. I for one appreciate your hard work thanks AK

[@mellowyellow415]

Action Kid living my dream 😍

[@choptanktuxent2]

I always wanted to do a drive or ride along the length of the Keystone Shortway, having been born and bred in PA. Thanks ActionKid for making it possible. FYI the PA welcome center EB starting after 3:15:00 is now closed for a rebuild and won't reopen until 2025 per Google Maps.

[@hexagoner411]

52:30 is probably one of the most scenic parts of I-80 in Pennsylvania

[@mediocrebanters]

You've made history again Ken! That's a road trip a few of us would have on our bucket list. Thank you for sharing these memories for everyone! BTW, ever plan on taking the _Route 66_ challenge?

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to complete this road trip. I've considered completing a Route 66 drive too

[@mediocrebanters]

@@ActionKid Go for it! (Stay safe as always)

[@arc8216]

Kind of wierd how 76 and 80 just switch and the toll road switches to different routes but the toll road is the same road.

[@tonidavis1098]

Ive been with you since early this morning!! Its 6:30 pm now. I'll be back AK.😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@daveydaves9361]

Pennsylvania has very smooth highways

[@ActionKid]

That's very true!

[@RichB17]

I dont think I could keep myself from talking or singing to the radio that long in a car

[@carmenl163]

For me, that's the best part of driving. Listen to music and singing (and dancing) along!

[@studleyjb3172]

That's true. If I had done this video, it would be terrifying😂. I would take it easy on the dancing. The best part is the driving cuppa joe...oh yeah.....

[@cag19549]

Pennsylvania has a lot of agriculture, but then so does New York. 😊

[@mowglimon]

imagine not playing music all the way there holy shit

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

29:15 Take that exit there and head south and you'd eventually reach my town.

[@douglasdawson68]

Hi here an new friend from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 I got on trips overseas and here in Australia 🇦🇺 I when to new Zealand last year to visit my mother for her 72nd birthday surprise she was with her sister my favourite aunty she was in hospital in Hamilton Waikato region in new Zealand me and my carer came with me to new Zealand to see my mother for her birthday we flew from Sydney to Wellington international airport in new Zealand we went to Napier by car we left Wellington to Napier via dannevrike to Napier stayed in Napier hotel overnight we left Napier to Lake taupo on our way to Hamilton and Auckland back to Sydney we in new Zealand for 8 days because I have hospital appointment with my doctor for some medical issues with my foot and knee injury two years ago

Love USA so much from Greece🇬🇷❤️🇺🇸,are you from USA?

[@Justaddsalt_1]

Dear Action kid I know you’re probably not gonna read this but I intend to do the same thing but except backwards I intend to leave Las Vegas to New York, but I’m gonna be making money on the way. I’ll be seeing if all the Roadie and third-party apps so I won’t be losing gas money.

[@pamela8592]

Unglaublich diese Weiten der USA. Ich komme aus der Schweiz. Bei mir wärst Du bei Part 1 schon durch das ganze Land gefahren 😅

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

8:50 Take PA 487 south and you'll eventually reach Knoebels.

[@raygreenberg6720]

Hmm. I felt sure you were going to say something about Jersey Shore being in the middle of PA.

[@simply_the_dev7588]

If you change the speed to 2x it feels like you are driving 100mph lol and it still sounds the same with the road sound. Also why chose shell gas at 3.23 when you had that Pilot gas for 3.19? I would be looking for and hoping for a QT somewhere.

[@cliffdwelling3807]

cool videos so far love these are you going to dirve back too?

Thank you so much! I did complete a drive back to the East Coast after reaching California

[@radw9711]

tryn to understand why some drivers move fast using 1st lane than others 2nd lane, are no clear highway rules? enjoyn your video while working. cheers ! wy don't you use the 1st lane when free?

[@georgecorreia5314]

Do you enjoy driving

[@ActionKid]

Yes, in areas where it is convenient to do.

[@tamarabritton5005]

how did you work out your driving time, when I would drive to Joliet, IL to see my son in college, I would drive during daylight hours and check into to a hotel in Arkansas and do the same the following day

[@ActionKid]

I had a general idea each day on where I would end up, and I tried not to drive too much at night.

[@fonzserge]

hi im new here in the US. Is it necessary to drive on the left part or the right part of the road?

[@abeljohnson909]

That question to be honest makes zero sense. You're in America yet you don't which way to drive. Are you trolling?

[@studleyjb3172]

If you want to drive near the speed limit, I would drive on the right side, using the left to pass slower moving traffic.

[@SharperTravel]

Are there any edits in this video?

[@andredelespiritusanto5653]

For how many days did you travel from new york to california?

[@abeljohnson909]

It depends on your stops, whether your driving at night etc but the average is mostly 6-8 days.

[@ManifestingDaily1111]

Life in fast lane 😂 🎵

[@ActionKid]

[@studleyjb3172]

After a day of driving, I would relax in a real restaurant, not a fast food place.

[@hanspettereide3313]

I love your videos! They are very interesting for a road-nerd like me. But at the same time they are quite annoying, seen here from Europe. (I'm norwegian, with driving-experience from more than 30 countries.) Not because of you or your driving, but because of the incomprehensible american principle of free choice of lanes on multi-lane highways. It is uneffective and dangerous. You must introduce the european rule, that right lane is for cruising and left lane is for passing only. In Europe, overtaking on the right is strictly forbidden. The exception is when both lanes are full, and changing lane is not possible, and the right lane at times is flowing faster than the left. The reason for this rule is that it is considered dangerous and confusing with vehicles swerving between lanes and overtaking right or left, where ever it is possible. You could all need a bit of training on the german highspeed autobahn. The principle is very simple: Every driver has a duty to give way for faster vehicles coming from behind. Taken to the extreme, that means that the only driver with a right of way in the left lane, is the one who is driving fastest... And it works! Traffic is more predictable, safer and faster. It would also help traffic safety in the US if drivers more often would refill their "turnsignal-oil"! Otherwise - keep up publishing videos. Good luck!

[@carmenl163]

I'm from the Netherlands, and I agree that it's a bit annoying to see the 'unnecessary' driving on the left lane and passing on the right side. But tbh, I can sort of see the benefit of people staying in their own lane as well, because there is less sideways movement going on. I guess it's what people are used to. Also, I find that this happens a lot in European countries as well (looking at you Denmark and Belgium).

[@furnitureconsortium]

"We're in Ohio already....but I haven't seen any indication of that".........dude, you drove past a gigantic sign over the road with a HUGE "Welcome to Ohio" sign 😆😆😆 not to mention that the State Route signs all look like the state of Ohio with numbers in them.....how the hell did you get nearly to Youngstown without figuring out that you're not in Pennsylvania anymore?!?!?

[@micheladerry5681]

viaggio un po' monotono

[@robertbuterin4142]

Boooring. Highway. Nothing to see. Maybe to drive on local roads?

[@studleyjb3172]

Local roads: more low speed traffic, lights, fast food places, etc.

[@Touchybanana]

Even though I-76 is a toll road, I prefer the scenery on that route since you do go through a couple of tunnels unlike I-80 which doesn't have any tunnels.
