Driving from San Diego California to Miami Florida | Part 7 - El Paso, TX to Ozona, TX

Part 7 of a drive from San Diego to Miami from July 27, 2023 - August 7, 2023. This part starts from El Paso, Texas and ends in Ozona, Texas. I was very surprised at how remote and isolated the Western part of Texas was, with not many people on I-10. I also passed over to Central Time during this drive.

Hey ActionKid, I love your driving videos. Thank you for putting these together and sharing them on KZbin.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

How pleasant it was to join you for a bit on the locals road and then the interstate, enjoying the company of others around the world, then settling once more into the cozy backseat as I finished my night's sleep on the west coast. The peacefulness of the driving and company is a taste of the kind of magical security and joy felt in early childhood. 🎈 🚗 a

[@ActionKid]

Thanks so much for watching! It was fun to drive through here

[@jarihult]

Another great drive on these series U.S coast to coast drives , even though most of the views are roads i still enjoy these drives😎Its the best way to see different landscapes in different states along the way therefore🙂Thank you for sharing this enjoyable and relaxing drive A K🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, so glad you've been enjoying the series

[@saracen567]

Good grief - Texas just seems to go on forever! 😮

[@Volatile42]

Sierra Blanca was a nice charming old town. Looks almost like a ghost town from an era gone by. You only get to see these when you get off the interstate.

[@monica-NJ-123]

Thank you AK , if not for you I wouldnt go anywhere , so appreciate this 😊

[@ActionKid]

I appreciate it!

[@HengMiao]

1:15:20 - 1:35:45 That was fun to see you had the whole road to yourself for a while and driving parallel next to the highway. 😂🛣 3:09:16 - 3:10:03 I guess the road took you around in circles. Who knew driving on I-10 E in Texas can be confusing. 😆 Thank you for sharing this relaxing drive, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

I never knew this part of Texas was so sparse! It was pretty fun to drive on this part of I-10

[@youtuberx199]

El Paso's landscape is very unique if you came from the opposite direction! Don't forget to go up the hill to look at the Mexico's side! Right before you enter El Paso, you will see your right hand side is Mexico and your left side is the U.S. side. You don't see this very often.

[@ActionKid]

I loved the landscape and scenery in this part of Texas

[@BHRoadStoriesBH]

Great video recording 🤗👌❤

[@gamehiker8]

I-10 in West Texas has several at grade road crossings where you could have gotten on the freeway much sooner. You passed at least 4 of them in the first 5 minutes after the gas station. You weren't looking for them because they are unique on the interstate system.

[@cag19549]

Ozona has the Davy Crockett monument. Did you see it? Looking forward to the next leg of your Texas excursion 😊

[@ActionKid]

I didn't see the Davy Crockett monument. Thanks for watching!

[@RafaelSolis-mf3px]

Which state has the best rest areas?

[@50sussie]

El Paso, TX to Ozona, TX 4 hr 50 min (346.3 mi) via I-10 E

[@youtuberx199]

Only when you are non-stop and going maximum speed at 80 miles an hour.

[@ActionKid]

I'm listening to music, its like I'm driving but I don't have to pay attention lol

[@ActionKid]

[@SkyvatorProductions]

How do you record with a phone if it heats up and turns off? No way can I do this with mine.

[@dennythomas8887]

I'm guessing you don't use google maps for navigation. In that first town you got gas (Sierra Blanca) and then drove forever to get back on the interstate, if you had gone back on block and turned left it would have taken you right to the interstate on ramp. Only reason I know is a couple years ago I got gas at that same station and started going the way you did. But google maps navigation told me to go back the the other way to get on the highway.

[@cag19549]

He would have been better off going on to Fort Stockton. Not sure how much gas he had but if he had a full tank in El Paso the gas stop would be Fort Stockton. Then, he could see the giant roadrunner. 😊 And he wouldn't have to drive this weird route to get back on I10.

[@ActionKid]

I did use Google Maps for navigation, it routed me on the way you see in this video which I found very strange.

[@jugtug6485]

Did you see any wind mills in West Texas

[@jugtug6485]

What kind of gas station ⛽ was convenient through that stretch of Texas

[@cag19549]

Generally from El Paso, you would stop at Fort Stockton. You can see the giant road runner from the freeway.

[@ActionKid]

Any one that's close by when you're low on gas

[@DelPueblo-iy6oe]

You pronounced El Paso right the first time. After all it's a Spanish word for "The Pass".

[@cag19549]

BTW Everything was closed because it was Sunday.

How long does it takes from California to Florida by train

[@lilli9822]

Is there a train?

[@simply_the_dev7588]

@@lilli9822 right, i want to know too

[@gillelmore2440]

There isn't a continuous direct southern train route from CA to FL. There was part wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and never replaced for passenger trains. There might be a way to connect train lines, but it'd take forever.

[@dennythomas8887]

@@lilli9822 nope, at least not anything even close to direct.

[@ActionKid]

I don't think there's a direct route by train. One would have to take a series of connecting train routes which would take a long time.

[@cag19549]

Actually, that's a normal rest stop. Most rest stops are pretty no frills. You would only expect massive parking on routes that cater to tourists. West Texas sure isn't that. I10 through Texas is a main trucker route. It's one of the most boring interstates I've ever driven.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for the insight!

[@cag19549]

If you had a full tank of gas in El Paso, why didn't you get off at Fort Stockton to get gas?

[@ActionKid]

I didn't have a full tank of gas in El Paso

[@redmanr5522]

I advocate for ALL of Texas to be in the Central Time Zone, no more Mountain time for me, leave that up in New Mexico.

[@Serviervorschlag-]

El Paso is the right pronounciation like KZbin seid all the time. There is a channel "Emma saying" and she prounces it the same war and not "El Paeso". Sometimes locals do not pronounce their own town in the right way🎉. 😂

[@cag19549]

Yes we do. 🤨

[@ActionKid]

Awesome

[@johncarrasco567]

🍕Did you eat Godfathers pizza in Ozona? Pronounced OH ZO NAH. Or try WHATABURGER while in Texas🍔🍟

[@ActionKid]

I didn't eat there and didn't stay in Ozona for long!
