Greyhound Bus down West Coast: #6 Coast to desert--Los Angeles to Barstow, California 2015-04-09

[@larryhammonds7865]

I highly recommend your video to anyone like myself who is retired and prefers to take a virtual trip. Sitting in my lounge chair, eating a big bowl of popcorn and watching your production has been a delight and very informative. I am looking forward to watching the next leg of your journey. Thank you!

[@backpacktrot]

+Larry Hammonds Thanks for viewing! Is the popcorn of the buttered version or the caramel edition? :D

[@mamakbsa4261]

👍

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Please produce more. You had a front seat and the views and attraction from L. A. to Barstow were OUTSTANDING.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Absolutely fantastic video. I watched this video from the beginning to the end. The scenic pictures, the mountains, and the traffic. Who ever BACKTRACKTROT is you did a fine job. I hope and pray you continue. You had a front seat and you help me enjoy California since I've never been there. Thank you again for a excellent video.

Seeing the San Bernadino mountains up close is awesome. Every time you're around the Los Angeles basin you can see them far away almost like they're unreachable.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Great video! I will probably never take this "dog route". The scenery was wonderful!

[@janetrobinson7143]

Watching this video makes me feel relaxed and peacfull.

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

Thank you for the video--it's a great beginning for those who never tried this direction1

[@uttaradit2]

best video of its kind on the tube

[@jimhanold9026]

Impressive; an excellent job of video-recording a Greyhound bus ride!

[@TheMoose819]

An absolute Lovely video! I felt like i was riding along with you! Thanks for the "Tag -a - long!"

[@backpacktrot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@omarrpika252]

We traveled on the Greyhound Bus to New York from Florida. It was a long time ago. Did u know that Greyhound now has free Wi-Fi? That's so cool!!!! 😊☺🚍

[@verabuen7956]

Great Video & i wish All the Greyhound Stations would post Videos like this one.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Excellent vid. Whoever produce this did a fine job

[@jewelkchatman4865]

beautiful video

[@jillfarrell816]

Thx 4 Going Greyhound with Jill/cdl professional driver & proud

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Backpacktrot the reason this vid is the best if the view from the front of the bus. All the action is up front. From now on get a FRONT SEAT and your vids will shoot up like pop corn in a pop corn machine. Thanks for the vids. Excellent!!!! A plus!!!1

[@luisbrandinosoares2471]

Parabéns pelo video. Simplesmente magnífico. Belíssimas paisagens, ótimas rodovias, não deixando dúvidas quanto à grandiosidade dos EUA. E só assim para eu conhecer um pouco desse grande e organizado país. Parabéns. Torço para o Brasil chegar pelo menos perto, mas bem difícil.

[@germandanilogomezlopez6689]

I like the bridges, congratulations desde Honduras!!!

[@larryhammonds7865]

Hey D: The best (at least for me) is the low salt, low butter, low calorie version of popcorn. Being that I have a tendency toward high blood pressure, I add a salt taste by sprinkling the treat with the brand "Nosalt" which is potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride.

Some 25 years ago I flew from England to Denver and then travelled by Greyhound bus 2.500 thousand in %12 days travelling mainly at night so that I. Ould explore towns during the day. I fid not find the buses smelly or dirty and really enjoyed the trip. The following year aI flew to Boston from London and travelled across Canada by Greyhound to Toronto stopping off to see the sights on route. Again very enjoyable. My final big trip a couple of years later was from London to NewZealand by bus, train and boat.

[@blakegrandersen7781]

This is so good.

[@2yung4u]

man the traffic was crazy...good thing i don't drive. was a good video. a little long but i didn't mind watching!

[@hopes.6384]

Man, LA traffic is insane.

[@guilermofuentes8045]

it's amazing all that traffic in los angeles

[@dave3216]

Awesome video

[@thomasshaw4371]

Coast to coast on a slice of toast!!!!!!!

[@acajudi100]

i had about 6 of the now cancelled Ameripasses. i have taken trains and planes also, but angels and demons are passengers and employees, and I thank God, that I made it safely. I visited all 50 states and used plans for outside America. Bali and Singapore were my longest flights.

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

Nice video

[@pinoyparin4414]

Jose in the red shirt is crazeeeee!

[@tomjones7089]

Very good quality video, what did you shoot it with. Always like the buses myself, rode a few times coast to coast years ago. Thanks for the video

[@throwball2248]

I’ve rode the running dog many times worst experience was going g threw Utah , the driver announced no smoking or he’ll throw you off. Well half way threw I went to bathroom lite up blew smoke out the throw-up hatch felt bus pulling over and he kicked me out right there on highway to wait for next bus. I was furious

[@drake8065]

Good video what equipment are you using

[@fundude4566]

What's the longest trip you have ever taken on a greyhound? That was recorded?

[@wakawaka5131]

40:01 That's a 16 lane highway that is bumper to bumper full. How does anyone get anywhere in LA on time??

[@lavondenson9272]

The traffic looks banana's, plus, I wonder, how fast this driver is going 🤔

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Suggested soundtrack Gino Vannelli Got To Move

[@rodneyhendrix1292]

This hwy has to be where road rage began!!

[@scvandy3129]

The perspective of the camera's high vantage from the bus' (high) seating helps immensely. "Thumbs up." I would have traded 2 boring minutes at the beginning for a good, 10-second "establishing shot" view of the bus' exterior and its positioning at the depot -- so viewers gain a perspective. And, a 5-to-10 second image of the coach's interior, of course shot from the rear (to assure privacy rights of the riders). Yes, we all know what a bus looks like. I'm just encouraging the shooter to "open up" his/her surroundings. I wish he/she had slipped a Greyhound depot worker $5 just to clean the windshield. Since this is going to be our POV (point of view) for the entire hour and a half, a clean, unobstructed view is a must. I will close with a "thank you:" Perhaps the visible proof of L.A. traffic congestion will prevent people from moving to the Southland and entice/remind Southland residents to move -- away! Spoken as a true Angelino and CA native. Or, perhaps we'll vacate the state! "Happy Trails" to all.

[@liamdoyle9559]

Why did I watch this?

[@finnrummygaming]

8 minutes in to 40 minutes in gives you a real detail on the traffic density of LA.

[@michaelmitchell6629]

I hope to take mexico first class bus from Tijuana Baja CA to Guadalajara Mexico and Guadalajara to Monterey or Puerto Vallarta Mexico this year if able an still alive Think them bus rides be great cool to do Never rode in Mexico first class executive bus.

[@michaelmitchell6629]

Very old video but pretty well done. Be nice see more nature and other stuff along high way besides pavement.

[@mamakbsa4261]

👍👍👍

[@MrPhil0267]

+mamak bsa You said it mamak bsa!! Traffic in Houston TX might be like this but traffic is never like this in the San Antonio area. We do have rush hour traffic but if you know how to get where you are going you should not have any trouble. Be safe everyone!!

[@sjtom57]

Way too much playing with the zoom.

[@marvinjgerald]

It was set to automatic zoom on this video...due to the constant change of objects near and far field of depth.

[@kennyc388]

A trip to shitty Barstow? What, you weren't depressed enough???

[@billchapel5248]

I rode a Gray Hound, from Charleston SC, to Midland Mich, when my truck broke down, and I swear I will never get on a bus agane, not on your life will I ever ride a stinking smelly Grey Hound agene, 27 hours of torcher.
