2K21 (EP 7) Interstate 5 North in Salem, Oregon

[@gailcirac8222]

Go off the freeway and you'll see the most beautiful farmland you'll ever see.

[@GreatAussieDrives]

Great video! The did a good job of keeping the surroundings of I-5 nice and green, you would never know you're passing through a metro area of 400k just judging by the scenery alone!

[@z-reviews3706]

Great video Kyle, I’ve been following your channel for five years and I remember this song from when you went over Siskiyou Pass years ago. Nice little mini throwback, keep the great vids coming!

[@InterstateKyle]

Thank you!

Exit 260 is the exit for the Northern most Location of In-N-Out.

[@sherrimartin4775]

You would never know by the scenery that an exit ramp would take you into downtown Salem where you can drive past hundreds of homeless camps set up on the sidewalks in front of people's businesses. You get to see all the trash, furniture, needles, homeless people urinating in front of you in broad daylight, it really is a sight to see if your into that kind of thing. Thank you governor Kate Brown for all you don't do. We have now changed our motto from "Keep Oregon Green" to "Keep your eyes on the sidewalk, you don't know what you might step in".

Sorry to hear what has happened to your great state. Just know if you don’t like what is going on, you are welcome here in Florida (as long of course as you don’t bring Portland city politics with you!)

[@timhoovermusicman]

Well they did clean out the market Street underpass area last month... But I heard they moved down to Hawthorne and state street underpass.

[@michaelvandyke6715]

The new Portland.. We quit going to Salem anymore..

[@thebionicpig]

Kyle the music had me moving the living room furniture out the way 😂

[@thebionicpig]

@Jack Miller I was stuck in Shreveport 05' - 08' with dreams of moving to a beach city in *Florida* and it was my escape from reality at the time. (It worked) *motivation*

[@jaywilliams8998]

You know, this one and the last one, you could pan to the right and show the awesome Cascade mountains that you are passing...

[@robertdassance4156]

Pan the camera enough one way or another, and you can witness the Hundreds of tents and makeshift abodes of the transplanted homeless. But then that wouldn't be pleasant, would it.

[@jaywilliams8998]

@@robertdassance4156 Man, it wasn't quite that bad when I lived in Springfield a few years back (late 90s)! I used to love the I-5 trip up to Portland, and I ran out to Bend/Redmond area once a week or so. There were a number of "campsites" then; I guess it's only gotten worse.

[@socarboy]

Beautiful day for a drive, you know you and I are the only YT road video channels that feature car noises in our respective intros. Enjoyed the ride along

[@freewayelliott3481]

Great music choice and video!

[@CaseyGpdx]

OGS will remember that he used this exact audio when going over Siskyiou Pass.

[@InterstateKyle]

Nice catch there!

[@dwood78part23]

This video made my late night. As of the posting of this comment, my area's going through a nearly 6 hour long blackout. So I'm watching it on my phone, rather than on the flatscreen.

[@nowhereman7085]

So weird to see you driving something I drive every day from Albany! I dash out in south Salem!

[@MikeHunt-qi8mg]

Pretty cool seeing this even though i drive that almost every day 🤣 i usually get off on the Portland road exit hang a right and go to Dutch :)

[@marvelous5038]

Great video and very good music choice Oregon is a underrated state

[@InterstateKyle]

It’s really beautiful there

[@timhoovermusicman]

@@InterstateKyle just not I-5 thru Portland. The trash is disgusting and really disheartening because there's so much beauty here.

[@timhoovermusicman]

I'll be going that way tomorrow for the garlic festival.

[@NickCC23]

Salem is about as far north as Minneapolis (also on the 45th parallel) and farther north than all of NY State.

[@mattwiser8406]

Nice job as usual. They do a pretty good job of landscaping along the freeway, I'll admit. Keep up the good work! Oregon still require full-serve gas, even at a mini-mart or a truck stop? They must think you're stupid enough to blow yourself up if you pump your own.

[@CaseyGpdx]

Also did something happen to the grants pass to cayonville video? It’s the only section of I5 missing form the latest series.

[@InterstateKyle]

KZbin took it down for copyright issues and I deleted the file after it was uploaded. It was only live for about a week and a half. I wish they would just ban the video right after I uploaded it so I can fix it while I still have the file but for whatever reason they took it down like 10 days after it was uploaded 😒

[@compdude100]

@@InterstateKyle That sucks. Love it when they can't make up their mind about whether certain songs are allowed on KZbin. 🙄

[@majorflatd3992]

here we are~

[@evem6890]

So green!

[@InterstateKyle]

Indeed!

[@joecherepanov7320]

Oh you didn't show the thousands of homeless camps on the drive

[@crazycathlamet9065]

It strikes me as pointless to have a speed limit of only 5 MPH below for trucks. It would be easier if everyone could go 65 or 60, depending on the zone.

Willamette University has to be, in my humble opinion, among the least well-known educational institutions in all of America. I have to grant so many kudos to the men and women of Willamette University 🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓for doing their jobs most quietly 😀😀😀😀😀.

[@CaseyGpdx]

Both my parents went there

[@davidmcclellan9621]

@@CaseyGpdx Also, did both of your parents graduate from Willamette University, too?

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Nasty highway, people don't know how to drive in that area of the state!!
