The night driving part was really cool and relaxing , for someone who never went to the US it's really cool to see what all those roads looks like !

[@unclecoolie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daniel4655]

Agree.

[@Quinteraoceana]

I live in Jacksonville! Glad you visited :)

[@Racingfan05]

Which one?

[@patrickbolmeyer9515]

Rt 17 is such a nice 'road less traveled'. If you're not in a hurry it's a great alternative to I-95.

[@unclecoolie]

I agree.

[@utilizatoryoutube]

Love your videos. It's so relaxing to watch you driving. Keep up the good work. 👍 Greetengs from Romania.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! 👍 I will try. Greetings from the Washington, DC area!

[@paull2937]

Another great real time road trip.

[@johnkeady2357]

First I've seen you do a night drive! Great to put on as white noise when sleeping. The daylight ones I always want to see everything!

[@unclecoolie]

😊 I don't usually like to do drives during darkness while I'm recording, but sometimes I don't have a choice, especially the time of the year that I did this drive with the short days.

[@AaronDanielLIsles]

I can't believe how long you made the video. Also, nice videos and stay safe.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! You do the same. By the way, the next video will be much longer than this one.

[@AaronDanielLIsles]

@@unclecoolie ok that's good. Stay safe and Also don't forget your faith on God. You made our day.

[@AaronDanielLIsles]

@@unclecoolie BTW did you ever got a copyright strike on your channel?

[@unclecoolie]

@@AaronDanielLIsles Yes, with my First trip to WV video (uploaded in June 2017). I had to remove all of the audio to keep it posted, and I've just done that for all of my time-lapse videos since, except for the two hyper-lapse videos that I have uploaded (DC-WA & NL-FL).

[@RailroadFanatic-hr6pf]

Currently watching the videos in order by trip lol. I'm excited for the Seattle to D.C. one! Hopefully by the time I get to part 1 you'll have uploaded the rest of them! Also excited for the Texas trip, my home State!

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! Because I'm so busy with work at the moment, I'm not able to edit any video. I hope to start editing again in a couple of weeks. I'm going to upload my NY-CA trip in hyper lapse then I'll upload the real time videos of my TX-VA.

[@spade4376]

Dude, it's like playing Euro Truck Simulator but it's car and not a game, i love it !

[@The_Velvet_Vixen]

Always awesome to see someone drive through the Charleston region, especially my home town Mount Pleasant. I hope you have a good trip!

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I liked this drive a lot. It was nice to get away from the tundra of the DC area to some warmth for a few days.

[@samb55]

Loved the view of the moon through the arch of the Ravenel Bridge! Good planning to stay overnight at Mt. Pleasant so you could cross the bridge at dawn. I think there's only two mornings in a year that the moon and the bridge would line up like that.

[@unclecoolie]

👍

[@wandabryantsmith2004]

I’m almost done and I really liked the bridges over the Cooper, Savannah, and Brunswick Rivers. I don’t know if it’s my tablet, but the clarity diminished at dawn, dusk, and especially on tree lined roads. I enjoyed the video anyway. As you drove , I noticed there are a lot of mobile homes in our country.

[@unclecoolie]

Awesome. I agree.

[@wandabryantsmith2004]

Next, a German road trip.

[@unclecoolie]

@@wandabryantsmith2004 I'm planning to upload a brand new road trip in the next couple of weeks--a road trip that I'd always wanted to do, and I was finally able to do it.

[@williamhoogendijk2536]

Hi love your video's. I live in the Netherlands and have always wanted to do a road trip in the US. The only downside are the drivers though 😂(left lane and middle lane hogging, not giving room to each other) so I don't think I could handle it without losing brain cells because of the drivers over there. Aside from that it's a beautiful and diverse country to drive through. You should come to Europe some time and make a roadtrip there. I'm sure you would enjoy it!

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I have done a small road trip in Europe: Stuttgart to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany (which is uploaded). I'd like to do more one day, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to travel there again.

[@kaijatuuna9566]

What is in this tree 5:50:36 ?

[@unclecoolie]

I'm not sure.

[@Trequavion]

Do you play music while you drive or your like me and just like the sound of the drive itself

[@unclecoolie]

Both. I listen to music through my earphones to avoid copyright issues with the audio, but sometimes I just like quiet, too.

[@flarrfan]

Love your back roads videos...Interstates get boring! Ever think about a full season of videos on the full length of each of the most historic/significant U.S. highways, e.g. 30/50 Lincoln Hwy, 40 National Road, 1 and 101 and maybe 61 (Dylan nod!)...you could do one trip and just release it in 8 hour or so segments...You could spend a year posting each highway.

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I have thought about doing a complete single highway trip, like doing all of US-50 between Sacramento and Ocean City, MD. My only problem is lack of time to do it. One day though.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great drive! Do you have more videos to upload?

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! Yes--I still have the rest of this trip to upload in real-time, and a few other small ones. I haven't been able to do anything major since this trip yet.

[@paull2937]

For South Carolina, temperatures in the 20s are uncommon. Any temperatures on the thermometer you see north of Georgia are uncommon for the location. This road trip was done on the coldest days of winter.

[@unclecoolie]

It was. The trip down was just after a cold front came through, and another, even colder, cold front passed through 3 days later as I was driving back to Virginia. The fact that it was just above freezing in Virginia Beach on the first day of this trip (with snow on the ground) is one example, which is why I remarked about the frigid palm tree.

[@kaijatuuna9566]

@@unclecoolie I saw it, too at 4:41:02. On the former video, of course. Was it the most northern palm tree ever?

[@unclecoolie]

@@kaijatuuna9566 It's one of them. There are a few small ones on the beach in Ocean City, MD, which might just be the northern most on the east coast.

Could u do Maine to Florida Using The Main Highway 95 so n so and do it as fast a possible dont get in trouble on the road

[@unclecoolie]

I have already done one in 2018 all the way from Newfoundland to Key West. I drove almost entirely on I-95 from northern Maine to Miami. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGGqi6eudpZ1b8k I have links to the entire trip in real time (5 videos) that can be found in the east coast video's description.

[@spunkyspice4777]

The recordings are great so is the sound. But, you need a better camera. The camera that you use make objects look distorted.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I've been considering a new camera, and will likely have one for 2024 road trips.

[@spunkyspice4777]

@@unclecoolie That will be great. That will make viewing your recordings better. Why not just use a phone camera?

[@unclecoolie]

@@spunkyspice4777 Trying to manage large amounts of video being recorded by my phone sounds like a nightmare. It would be different if I was only recording short videos.
