Nebraska to California: A Complete Road Trip

[@Fallon144]

As a European I love this stuff!

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks!

[@sinistar3198]

Are road trips a thing over there? While it's entirely possible to drive from Shanghai to London (give or take a couple ferries), I don't see much about euro-trips. And having been to a fair amount of eastern Europe and some of western Europe, it's rather pretty, if a bit crowded. Gimme the deets.

[@Fallon144]

Mostly within Western/Eastern Europe. I wouldn't venture too far east, it's just too unpredictable/unstable. (Turkey, Iran, Iraq etc.)

[@steffeeH]

A very common thing here in northern europe is to drive south through germany into the alps, and then furter south into france, italy, croatia, etc. It's very nice feeling to cross into country after country, though I gotta say I wish I could feel the feeling of driving vast distances all within the same country.

[@mariomatovina4]

steffeeH, that's one thing that makes me wish I lived in US. A whole continent with the same language, same culture, free to move wherever you wish. Yes, it's possible to do that in Europe but in many situations you will need to learn local language and that alone can be very difficult.

Saw my house in this one. I drive this route to California twice a year, and am even doing it tomorrow for a friends wedding. I love that pass going through Arizona along the virgin river. Saw mountain goats in there once a few years ago. If anyone ever takes this route down 15, I recommend the hotels in St. George. Nice quiet and clean.

[@unclecoolie]

That was one of my favorite parts of this drive - driving through Zion NP, then through St. George and NW Arizona toward Las Vegas - spectacular scenery, ending with staying the night in Vegas!

[@mycroft16]

We used to visit Vegas twice a year from our home in Orem (almost saw my house from the freeway) and I love the Virgin River gorge. St. George is such a nice place to stay. Good food everywhere too. UT has a pretty incredible concentration of national parks all really close to each other.

Thank you for sharing this with the world. You went to my home, my heart, my soul. Again thank you so much for sharing your trip with all of us. Peace.

Thank you! I'm glad that you appreciate it. I loved doing this road trip a lot, and I would love to do it again one day. I did do a drive earlier this month through California, Nevada, and Utah again, which I will upload at some point.

[@newwomyn]

These are time lapse are they.

[@newwomyn]

You may not have realized this, but when you were in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and California you were running roughly parallel to some major Union Pacific Railroad subdivisions. You paralleled the UPRR (Montana Sub) from about Idaho Falls ID to Pocatello ID. The (Pocatello Sub) from Pocatello ID to McCammon ID. The (Ogden Sub) from McCammon ID to Ogden UT. The (Salt Lake Sub) from Ogden UT to Salt Lake City UT. The (Provo Sub) from Salt Lake City UT to Provo UT. The (Sharp Sub) from Provo UT to Lynndyl UT. The (Lynndyl Sub) from Lynndyl UT to Milford UT. The (Caliente Sub) from Milford UT to Las Vegas NV. The (Cima Sub) from Las Vegas NV to Yermo CA. The (Los Angeles Sub) from Yermo CA to Daggett CA. The (Los Angeles Sub) will merge into the BNSF (Needles Sub) in Daggett CA then into Barstow CA. From Barstow CA, the BNSF Subdivision will be the (Cajon Sub) into San Bernardino CA and the UPRR (Mojave Sub) from Victorville CA to San Bernardino CA. You will then roughly parallel the UPRR (Alhambra Sub) from San Bernardino CA to downtown Los Angeles CA.

[@deitrickorullian505]

Loved this. I watched you drive through Idaho Falls to Salt Lake, I used to do that drive every other weekend. I've since moved to Texas for an internship and really miss the mountains and beautiful landscapes. Nothing but pavement and endless suburbia here in Dallas :(

Watching this road trip I realized that today marks 3 years of the day that you were there in Los Angeles and also marks one year of the day I met your channel. You have made me get to know the United States in more detail and your videos have motivated me to create a long-term life project in that country. I love your content and I wish the best for you. Hopefully one day you will tell us more about your life in a future video. Greetings from Coquimbo, Chile.

[@unclecoolie]

This was a fun trip.

[@mycroft16]

Went on a business trip with my dad to Rapid City SD when I was a kid. Spent a few days after driving around through the Black Hills. What a beautiful corner of the country. To this day I remember the hills and valleys, trees, grass, streams and rivers. Caves, gold mines, etc. I'd like to go back now that I'm older and visit more of the old mining towns.

[@unclecoolie]

I was a kid when my dad took us across the U.S. to California, passing through the Rapid City/Mt. Rushmore area as well. That was also a big reason why I decided to do this trip.

[@kentchamberlain5720]

Looks like someone stopped to get coffee at 13th Street before heading across the country this morning. Love these videos. Great content to have on in the background, providing a de facto geography lesson.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you. Yes, I stopped for coffee. I had snacks already as I was at a Walmart just before this video began (I was actually leaving the Walmart parking lot when I started this video).

About year ago: I took the same route to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons for the Solar Eclipse near Jackson, WY. I was about two days behind you in WY.

I had considered seeing the eclipse in Teton, but when I found out how many people were expected to be there, I decided to just see it in Nebraska instead.

[@TheLipardi]

@@unclecoolie Yeah; there was a ton of people there, but worth the effort to finding a place. I talked up some ladies with the Forrest Services the day before, and they saved me a spot near their tent. Btw; what kind of camera are you using for the Timelapse?

The roads in the Teton area, especially Yellowstone Park are really cool. Beartooth Highway is a really amazing drive as well. Love going to this area and have been trying to every year now

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I loved doing this drive more than an other drive that I've done to date. Maybe it's for nostalgia as my family drove almost this same route when we drove from NY to CA when I was a kid. I'd love to do this drive again just to get better video.

So cool! Love your videos, and the quality of them! I really enjoy videos like this, and traveling/driving! I'm from Idaho Falls, ID, and was excited to see you pass through my home town, and through Blackfoot and Pocatello! I have a few friends who are studying at Idaho State University, and frequently make the drive to Pocatello. So I'm happy to see it in a video like this! I lived in Moscow, ID for awhile, and highly recommend checking out the northern part of the state! The scenery along I-90 from Montana to Coeur d'Alene, and US-95 between Sandpoint to Lewiston is absolutely gorgeous! Also, not as much semi-arid desert as southern Idaho, haha. 😂 Hope you enjoyed your time in Eastern Idaho! Best wishes, from Idaho Falls!

[@unclecoolie]

[@an.phenomenal4650]

I also genuinely recommend that you could take a mid-western road trip that goes through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, you could visit the city of Chicago of Illinois, Wisconsin, and you can do a huge drive through Minnesota! I live in Minnesota of the United States of America and I genuinely think that it is a phenomenal state that should really be a destination. There are tons of wilderness and wildlife, especially if you go up north to Duluth of Minnesota and then to International Falls and Bemidji of Minnesota. You could really enjoy a full Minnesotan trip or even a mid-western trip! I truly recommend it not only because I live there but because it is a nice place that many disregard visiting. (: You should make a trip that goes from Virginia to Miami of Florida. Florida is a vast place with tons of swamp and scenery. I think Miami would be a phenomenal place to visit as it is a popular place in Florida! It would be a phenomenal drive and I think that would be my suggestion. Another suggestion I have is that you could drive to Texas! It is another amazing place and maybe driving to Houston or San Antonio would be a nice place to drive and because Texas is a place that I do not think you have made a video on and for Florida, visiting Miami could be a phenomenal experience that I truly recommend. (: Thank you for reading this if you do decide to read them and your videos are phenomenal so continue enjoying your passion and making a difference by doing this.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! It just so happens that I am planning a New York-California trip next month, and I plan to go through Ohio, Indiana, Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I also plan to travel through many of the areas that I did in this video, mainly because I want to record the spectacular areas of these states with the better camera that I have, and because I loved doing this drive so much that I'm willing to do much of again. I already have a trip between Virginia to Miami that is part of my East Coast Road Trip video. That video ends in Key West, and I did virtually the entire drive down to Miami on I-95, bypassing downtown. Because of that, I may do another drive down there, this time taking a side road such as US-1 or similar instead of just being on the interstate all the time.

[@ssssaa2]

@@unclecoolie woah can't wait for that one

[@patd9737]

Great video. I've been on many of those Utah roads. If you drive through southern Utah again, please consider driving on Utah Highway 12 from Bryce Canyon to Torrey, near Capitol Reef NP. Probably the most spectacular drive in the southwest.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I loved this whole drive, but especially the driving through southern Utah. I had planned to do the whole UT-12 drive originally, but I shortened it when I decided to do the drive through Zion instead. I'd love to come back and explore that area some more. I've even thought about doing most of this entire drive again at some point.

[@cantolub1]

Wonderful video, for the well done and for those extraordinary landscapes, especially those of the Southwest and the Rocky Mountains. I love your country, in part thanks to your videos. I have downloaded some of them and I have divided them into chapters of half an hour, to be able to see them on the television. It is as if I had traveled comfortably through the US. And if you allow me some suggestions, I think that when you go through the most emblematic places should lower the speed of the video a bit if possible, for example in Bad Lands, Zion National park, etc. and also when it stops at some of those more beautiful places I think I should interject a brief panoramic view of the place (at normal speed, of course) or some photo; It is frustrating to know that you are a few meters from the Colorado Canyon or the Devil's Tower and not see anything. By the way, you say you make the trips in rented cars, how do you get the camera so fast in the car? Thank you very much for your videos and keep traveling.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this video was recorded in time-lapse, so there's no way to slow it down. Also, I took additional video while I was at many of these parks. You can find them on my channel. I have video from Custer SP, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Devils Tower, Yellowstone/Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon and Zion NPs, and these are all in 4K.

It would. I wish that I had recorded this in real time. Part of me wants to do this again just so I can.

[@Tott56]

I used to think the driving portion of the trip was just HELL, now I’m watching youtube videos of it, how much has changed 😂

[@unclecoolie]

My wife still feels that way. Lol. If I had to drive frequently, I would probably hate it. But this trip was the first major trip in years for me, and I had never done a drive out west. So this was fun for me.

4:47:47 Risky manoeuvre

[@unclecoolie]

It looked like it only because of the time-lapse. :OD

[@tentenchu8140]

Risky what?

[@ANTAlex-pe9li]

I just took a train from Chicago to Denver so this cool seeing

[@unclecoolie]

That's a video that I would like to see, too.

4:03:46 Marysvale, not Marysville UTAH ! ! great vid

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I try to minimize the number of mistakes and typos in my videos, especially since my CA-NY video had several, but I still find them here and there.

[@unclecoolie]

I loved doing this drive and would love to do it again at some point.

Buffalo 1:20:18 or even Bison, who knows?

[@unclecoolie]

Technically, they are bison, but people here just call them buffalo.

Yellowstone Nat'l Park 2:51:24

[@unclecoolie]

That's close to when I entered Grand Teton. Beautiful area. I'm contemplating on driving through there again when I do my drive out west this summer.

[@htb6276]

14:13 Why were the Traffic Light's Blinking?

[@NeonsStyleHD]

When you stop at a lookout for a photo like at the Tetons at 2:58:55, could you include your photo in the vid? Unless it's just with your phone or something.

[@unclecoolie]

I took real-time video using a UHD action camera during my visits to the parks, and I've uploaded those videos separately.

[@KingOscar-hc3yp]

That field look very good

[@monaural2.988]

I can't help but wonder how fast a car would actually need to be capable of to match a time-elapse video. It would be an interesting tidbit. Not that I would want to go this fast!

[@unclecoolie]

Because this is sped up 7.5x normal speed, it would have to be pretty close to the speed of a commercial jet.

[@GS_Cloud26]

I would like to see a trip to Yosemite N.P one day

[@unclecoolie]

Me too.

[@GS_Cloud26]

@@unclecoolie Just went to Grand Canyon N.P

[@unclecoolie]

@@GS_Cloud26 Cool. I will be out that way in late Sept, myself.

[@prestonmilesmusic]

Hey Uncle, I have a suggestion... how about do a trip from Irvine, California to Keene, New Hampshire?

[@unclecoolie]

That sounds like a nice trip, but I live in Virginia. I am, however, planning another drive out west this summer.

[@hildaperry-roberts9966]

How many times did u have to stop for gas I will be traveling from California to Nebraska but will be going through grand junction

[@unclecoolie]

I drove a car (Nissan Altima) that got great gas-mileage and a tank of gas easily lasted 500 miles, so I only had to stop a couple of times each day. I'd assume that you'll have to stop for gas at least 5-6 times for your trip.

[@nalzazlan]

Somebody.. is there content like this on KZbin but in Europe or other parts of the world? Pls recommend I'm obsessed.

[@unclecoolie]

I'd love to see videos like that, myself.

[@selcukdilek4656]

You can drive in South Dakota and Wyoming for hours not not coming across major cities , nice.

[@unclecoolie]

I loved driving through both of those states, too.

[@matthewricketts5330]

Will there be a real time video of this epic journey?

[@unclecoolie]

Unfortunately, I recorded this in the time lapse shown. I regret that I didn't record it in real time.

[@MaxSebastianGoodman]

Deers crossing the road at 1:46:21

[@unclecoolie]

Correct. And that was just moments before I saw Devils Tower up ahead, too.

[@KingOscar-hc3yp]

That sky looks good

[@selcukdilek4656]

5:00 is that brown air real or some camera thing ? looks great lol

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. Yeah, that was natural. It was the combination of the rising sun and the storm clouds moving in.

[@partaes]

Mr. Unclecoolie, are you only making these videos for the sake of driving? I've been enjoying them very much. You drove to California, and drove back on the very same day. Howe are your hemorroids, LOL? And besides, are you planning on making any more of these videos? If so, how about the south coast, New Orleans, Florida and such.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! I started doing these videos because last year I had the chance to do major drives, and because I couldn't find decent time-lapse videos here on KZbin (either the image quality was bad or the speed was way too fast), and for years I've been flying coast-to-coast but never have I had the chance to do all the driving that I did in 2017. Because I'm getting so much support for these videos, I'm going to do more. I plan a big trip or two late this spring, early summer. I'm still working out the details, but I want to drive up into Canada, or maybe down into Florida.

Dinosaur on the right at 1:05:02. (A statue, of course!)

I always go down I 15 on my way to Las Vegas. It’s nice but beware of SLC traffic

[@unclecoolie]

That's a nice drive.

[@zhuofanzhang9974]

The "Nebraska" in the title feels kinda like a clickbait because the start was so close to the border... That color transition from 4:00 to 7:00 is really amazing.

[@unclecoolie]

Well, I did start in Nebraska.

You passed right by where i live after leaving the strip.

In Las Vegas?

@@NunyoBusInessgang The next video that I will be uploading will also be Las Vegas, at least it begins and ends there, and I should have it uploaded by early Feb.

Really cool that you were able to visit several National Parks on this trip. How many National Parks have you been to? I've only been to Acadia, Olympic, Mt. Rainier, Yosemite, Shenandoah and Haelakala on Maui. Been to Muir Woods National Monument

[@unclecoolie]

This was my favorite drive of all long road trips that I've done. Do date, I've visited Badlands, Biscayne, Bryce Canyons, Everglades, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Redwood, Shenandoah, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, and Zion National Parks - most of which were done on this drive.
