Really enjoyed this video, especially the Atlanta part. Atlanta is such a fantastic city! Been there this September and experienced a lot. One thing I could also experience everyday: the horrendous traffic. Riding by train daily, I could see the traffic jams literally everywhere!

[@unclecoolie]

I agree. I've been to Atlanta a few times and liked it a lot.

[@MarkL0360]

Best part of traveling I-75 or 85 is passing through Atlanta. Although, having lived here since 1987, I can tell you the traffic through downtown can be a pain in the butt sometimes; the freeway has 13 or 14 lanes through downtown, and they'll jam up at the drop of a dime, anytime, anyday.

[@highwaypaceproductions747]

I like those videos you make! They have good editing skills

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! These videos do take some time, that's for sure.

[@truckee_the_latex]

If you see this I live in Madisonville Tennessee. I wanna say that you brought joy up my face! Because I live near Knoxville and Maryville. Thank you so much...

[@dasbubba841]

1:49:29 Ah, Marietta, my home town. Amazing little suburb town, and one that I quite cherished, even if my home life was terrible. Best thing about where I lived though, was being able to see all the Air Force aircraft flying over from Dobbins Air Base. C-130s, mostly, though I was able to see a few F-16s and even a F-35.

[@unclecoolie]

That was a nice area. I'd been to the Atlanta area many times over the years, and I like that area a lot. My wife and I have talked about moving there before.

[@dasbubba841]

@@unclecoolie Bias aside, it is pretty good. Roads and homes are in good shape since almost everything has been built in the last two or three decades. Not perfect, especially since traffic is garbage around central Marietta, or The Square, but the economy is healthy.

I don’t have 2 hrs. right now, but as soon as I get free time I’m gonna watch! Keep up the good work!

No problem! Do you by chance have a video where you drive through Minnesota?

[@helenaatkins2210]

Maryville, TN is a famous small town in TN. Not far from Crossville, TN. Turn right onto Hwy 361 on I-40 going northeast from Crossville toward Knoxville.

[@unclecoolie]

I have family who live there, and I hope to go back to visit soon.

[@Foxyfaide]

Hey it's Summer vacation!

[@sadiyarabia3194]

You make driving from state to state a better choice than if I were to take an airplane. More to see on the ground. Someone once said, “I don’t take the camera out with me. My eyes are the camera for me everyday.” Very true. I could take cinematic shots just from riding in the car with you. Case in point, those bikers that passed you added character. I’m an author and I like strange and random things like that.

[@unclecoolie]

I fly frequently, and for years that was the only way I traveled across the country, so I agree.

[@whosjah4473]

Great video of day 2. I'm sorry I hear that your GPS got screwed up. Also when u were in Tennessee, when it said busted. I thought you were the one getting pulled over when it was the other guy in front of you. 😂😂

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you. At least I will have the GPS information for the last part - Knoxville to Dulles Airport. Yeah, I wanted to get video of that guy getting pulled over, but I couldn't get my phone out in time to record the cop putting on his lights (which was within maybe a second after the dash cam passed them). I'm just glad it wasn't me. I was doing a little over the speed limit, but that white car was at least 15 MPH over.

[@unclecoolie]

By the way, I will have the last part uploaded in the next 2-3 days.

[@whosjah4473]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@baddriversofgeorgia3387]

Unclecoolie Productions if you were in Georgia you would have gotten screwed having your phone while driving on the road is s state law anything connected to a phone

[@unclecoolie]

@@baddriversofgeorgia3387 That's the same in many states, such as Maryland. Fortunately, most cars now have Bluetooth, at least speaker phone ability, so I never have to hold a phone to my ear.

Yet another one from the big guy himself... awesome, BTW I thought I 10 Eastern terminus is in Georgia not florid a🤔🤔🤔???

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! I-10's eastern terminus is in Jacksonville, FL.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

It's much better with the situational awareness graphics you've always used. It helps your watch time, as it let's you know what is coming up when you know the state. I much prefer that info on, rather than off. Same with the heading and altitude info. I'm sure it's a pain to do, but it makes you stand out from the rest.

[@unclecoolie]

I agree completely. The only reason I don't have any GPS information for this video is because the .fit file that stores the GPS information from the camera got corrupted and unusable. That's the reason why I split my Key West to Virginia trip into three parts, and the last part - Knoxville to Dulles Airport - will have full GPS information. I'm currently editing that part now and hope to have it uploaded in the next few days. Then I'll finally start on the real-time drives of my east coast road trip.

[@drewconway7135]

I feel like Georgia is trying to corner the market on tacky billboards. It starts as soon as you're across the state line, and goes on for miles and miles and miles. I miss the graphic in the upper-left and all the elevation and coordinates info you used to provide.

[@unclecoolie]

Yeah, the billboards were interesting. I wasn't able to extract the GPS from my camera for this video, which is why I broke up my Key West to Dulles Airport drive into 3 parts. I will be uploading part 3, which is from Knoxville, Tennessee to Dulles Airport, in the next few days, and that video will have the GPS information that you're accustomed to.

[@unclecoolie]

@@MarkL0360 I finished that road trip that passed through the Atlanta area. I will work on the video of that once I get the real time version of my WA-DC trip finished.

[@RRRIBEYE]

Wow! That was sure an assole maneuver by that log truck on the GA/TN line, wasn't it?! Thanks for the cool video. Reminded me of when we moved from Tampa back to Iowa. I was SO HAPPY seeing that GA state line on I-75! I also laughed as that drive N. on I-75 looked the same as it did 20 years ago....More U-Hauls LEAVING then the poor suckers in the U-Hauls arriving, lol. "good luck suckers!" Man, FL sucked. WAAY over-populated! Made amazing money while there - but like I said - Happiness is LEAVING! (and knowing I don't need to go back!)

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. Yeah, I remember that log truck very well. I understand how you feel about Florida. I used to live there myself, but I lived in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, which less desirable than the Tampa area. Florida is a nice place to visit, especially in the winter months, but I'm content to where I live, which is Virginia.

[@funkaydingo4151]

Originally a New York native, but I just moved from the Tampa Bay area up North to the Great Lakes. It may be absolutely bone chilling right now (7 degrees in November) but I am so thrilled to be out of Florida, that it doesn't even matter. Though I actually much preferred my time in South Florida over my time in Tampa Bay.

[@timothystark4475]

Wow. I had seen the most crazy drivers in Georgia area ever. Someone hopped over several lanes. Log truck passed you outside road near GA/TN line. If cop saw log truck, cop will catch log truck. Cop (unmarked black car) caught the white car for speeding in middle of road.

[@unclecoolie]

I remember that well.

[@GS_Cloud26]

Interstate 4 is known to be the most dangerous interstate in the U.S

[@AML2000]

I'm sure that's mostly in the Orlando area because of the tons of tourists trying to get between the various amusement parks. We don't actually get on I-4 in this video, although when I first was on what is now I-275 in the early 60's after it was first built, I-4 was actually the road that went over the Howard Frankland bridge to St. Pete because I-75 (now I-275) north of Tampa hadn't been built yet.

[@unclecoolie]

I heard that about I-4 as well. I used to travel to Tampa for business a couple of years ago, and every time I went back to TPA Airport, traffic would back up on that bridge, and frequently there were many people constantly cutting in front of me to merge left in order to stay on the highway.

[@GS_Cloud26]

@@unclecoolie If I were to go to DisneyWorld from Orlando International Airport, I would have to take Hwy 528 and then to I-4 to get there. But I'm taking a ride on the monorail from the airport.

@@GS_Cloud26 That's a good idea. When we went to Disney World, we just took shuttle from the Airport to our resort. Much easier.
