I was born and raised in L.A. for about nine years, and then for whatever reason my parents decided to move to Seattle. Idk why but Washington in general seems like such a depressing state, so I'm really missing living in Cali. But luckily I get to visit Cali every year, because most of my family lives there. So thank you for making these videos, this brings back amazing memories of when I had a happy life.

Was born in SoCal till I was about 12 years old my parents moved us to Arizona, and Arizona is the same, its depressing as hell, nothing to do. Thankfully my parents are back into the process of moving back to California because my whole family is there also and we do go occasionally, but coming back to AZ is miserable. I wanna live in San Diego some day I loved visiting there

Gotta say fast-forwarding through the traffic slow-downs felt a little like cheating, but I suppose the video would've been 3 hours otherwise. Have you thought about drives in other weather conditions? A night drive in a thunderstorm with lots of lightning, through a snowstorm or maybe just a steady rain? Just a thought from a guy who loves a scenic drive in all kinds of weather.

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Yes the video would've been considerable longer without speeding up those traffic areas a bit. We actually just did a video recently where we drive to San Diego through the mountains in a rainstorm here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGi7laGKrZepgJI

Rather surprised me, between Mission Viejo and Lake Forest, your speeding the playback; everyone including yourself, seemed to be driving "recklessly", but then I remembered the speed up that you warned us about. I was possibly expecting a horrible wreck up ahead, but thankfully there was none. After the congestion, everyone seemed to come to a stop; that's how rapid your speed step-down was! Trippy!! Makes life interesting indeed. UPDATE: We did get to witness a minor wreck--or its aftermath--plus, not far after, the CHP had pulled someone over for some kind of Traffic Violation. That was between Anaheim and Downey?

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Yes, we tried to speed up the heavy traffic areas as smoothly as possible without going overboard. Thankfully there weren’t any major wrecks along the way, just a ton of cars and not enough room.
