You watch road trip videos on your phone? I watch them on my computer to make it look like as if I'm on the actual road.

[@carlosvargas6970]

It's me again Uncle... I just want to say that you're doing everything right. The road trip in itself is terrific and the fact that you show everything: the map at the top left of the screen, the compass as to what direction you are traveling at the top right corner of the screen and MPH, Location , elevation and date and time at the bottom left of the screen. That is outstanding, Coolie. Nobody else does that: not Traveling Robert or BRT (BigRigTravels). Right now, you are the best out there. Keep doing this and all you'll need is commentary like (Traveling Robert) and you really don't need that. You are showing us everything on the screen. Absolutely outstanding!!

[@carlosvargas6970]

Oh yes, and the HYway at the bottom right. That is a big plus. I always wonder what interstate everyone is traveling so that I can track them on my book-maps I have at home. That is also great.

Best ASMR vid I have ever heard!...I have been watching this for over a week now & the engine purring (my trigger) keeps putting me to sleep. @ 1:06:44 going thru Yosemite south entrance gave me awesome tingles.

Hello again, congratulation! Another wonderful day but hard (13 hours driving). the Yosemite park and Nevada, fantastic!

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! I loved doing this drive, but I was a little nervous about driving in such a remote location. There was more traffic on US-50 than what I had expected, though. That hotel in Ely was pretty nice. It had a restaurant/bar and a casino. I sat at the bar and had a few beers, but that was it. 😊

[@preciousmatlapeng9497]

I love these videos, especially when you start driving in the early mornings when it's a bit dark. Gives this feeling of 'sleepy just got up and carried to the car cos we have a road trip' lols. So I use them as ASMR for sleeping. Also like that when I wake up it's daytime and the scenery looks beautiful

Glad to see more videos. I know you've used the Garmin Virb 30 for the videos. What type of setup do you have? Would love to see a picture or two of what it looks like. I'm making a drive up 395 in CA next month. I have the Garmin and just trying to plan how to mount it and keep it powered up. It's a test run for a Route 66 trip after the summer.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. I have the camera mounted on the windshield using the suction mount, and it's plugged into a USB port for power. I had to modify the camera's casing to allow the ability of being able to plug the USB cable in it while it's mounted on the windshield. I started using a 512 GB micro SD card, which can handle an entire day's recording in 4K30fps. I then back up each day's video onto an external hard drive using my MacBook.

[@rydcode]

@@unclecoolie that's one option I was considering. Any problems with overheating the camera?

[@unclecoolie]

@@rydcode Not at all, although I haven't used it in the 4K30fps mode driving through a really hot area (the weather was cool when I did this trip), but otherwise the only issue I've had is sometimes the GPS data files get corrupt and I lose GPS for some areas, such as the end of my first video - Sequoias NP to Fresno.

[@unclecoolie]

I also realized that I haven't updated the firmware of the camera since I first bought it two years ago.

Surprised to see so much traffic on route 50 through Nevada. Certainly a desolate landscape but a lot more traffic than I was expecting. Here in Australia on outback highways you can drive for hours and only see a handful of other vehicles. Impatient, reckless driving at 7:07:18 by white hatchback

[@vlozowski]

Excellent video, Thanks for giving us this ride. I am looking to change my dahscam (Garmin Dash Cam ™ 20), and I am convinced by the Garmin VIRB® Ultra 30. My doubt is that it is a camera released in 2016 and I do not know if after 4 years, Garmin will release any update , to compete with the Gopro Hero 8 Black. Obviously, the strength of Garmin are not these cameras (it is as if GoPro was trying to break into the GPS or avionics market). They are excellent products, but the market looks to GoPro for cameras and Garmin for GPS (it's just a neuromarketing issue) But in principle, I am falling in love with this camera, and with your videos you give me reasons for that. I plan to film the entire journey between Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Cuzco (Peru), passing through Bolivia on the way and returning to Chile (I calculate about 4225 mi. between there and back)

[@unclecoolie]

So far I like the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 that I have. The only issue that I've had is that sometimes the GPS data files get corrupted, and that's why I sometimes have sections of video without any data, such as the end of my Las Vegas to Fresno video. If you do that road trip that you have planned, I'd love to see the video of it!

[@vlozowski]

@@unclecoolie Did you try updating your software or firmware using the Garmin Express app? If the GPS data is failing, it will likely be fixed by some update, since that's where the patches come from.

[@unclecoolie]

@@vlozowski No, I haven't. Thanks for the idea!

[@kk6aw]

I made that trip in reverse, I started in Highland Utah, my gift to Ely was to dump the contents of my toxic waste tank down the middle of the Main Street through town. The damn glued fitting to the plumbing came loose, nothing broke just parted ways. I was pulling a second hand trailer. I saw the contents pouring out but not a damn thing I could do about it. I was looking in my rear view mirror for miles waiting for the local constabulary to nail me. That was way back in late 70s. Coming down a long grade, must have been 5 or more miles, we saw a plume of black smoke, by the time we got there the mobile was a pile of ashes, the propane tank was still venting, why that tank didn’t BLEVE is beyond me. Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion for the uninitiated.

Keep up the great work with these driving videos!! I’m still waiting to receive my National Park Pass for my road trip next month to the National Parks...Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada (Hoover Dam) and California. Living in Florida, I had the dream of driving out west to see the mountains of the desert southwest, and the different topography of these states. I only visited Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Anaheim CA (Disneyland) for a brief time. I think California is the best state for a road trip since it’s very scenic and has a diverse topography. A little bit of everything. Although Utah is very pretty as well seeing it through your videos and other road trip videos. The Smokey Mountains are not the same for sure. I essentially was locked away in the eastern section of the US most of my life and I now have the opportunity to finally get in my car and drive to the WEST. Do any of these drivers use their cruise controls when driving through these up and down twisty roads?? Instead they keep riding their brakes. Keeping a safe distance and setting the cruise at about max 10 over the speed limit would make for a smoother ride as the car accelerates / decelerates for you...a more constant speed (stating the obvious here). I’m assuming they don’t have “Adaptive Cruise Control”. My vehicle comes equipped with this so it worked great through the Smokey Mountains. Stay safe out there!

Thanks. I'm from the east coast, too, which is a big reason why doing drives out west is special to me. I'm looking forward to doing another big road trip soon. I'm just not sure when I can do it. I want to see the Smoky Mountains, and I might make a trip there if I can't do anything else.

The Yosemite route is a lot slower. Was it just for the scenery?

[@unclecoolie]

Yes, it was just for scenery, which I loved.

[@thecoolannishatk.]

Are those burnt trees at 1:36:00???? Looks like it

[@unclecoolie]

Yes. The authorities do controlled fires to try to mitigate massive forest fires.

Why in the world would you drive up to Tahoe to get to Reno, when you were already in Gardnerville? You added like 30 minutes to your drive. I genuinely have to know if it was for getting more content for the video or not. Please tell me I'm stressed.

[@unclecoolie]

I did that to see Lake Tahoo as I'd never been there before.

[@lizzydarkrose]

Unclecoolie Productions Gotcha, okay. I’m born and raised in the area and my friend and I were watching your video and loudly debating why you would take the route you did lmao. Thank you for answering

[@rossmanclaffey6502]

Great videos! Thanks for making :)

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I hope to have the last part, Ely to Las Vegas, uploaded in the next few days.

[@jorgebrandao3992]

When you crossing Route 66, make video of "The Mother Road! Thanks!!

[@unclecoolie]

I'd like to one day.

[@StreetFoodKC]

Great work, thank so much

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks.

[@ezrapotter4631]

10:37:45 Eureka!, you’ve made it this far

[@vgkfan475]

Nice! When can we expect Ely to Las Vegas (via UT) to be up?

[@unclecoolie]

I'll be working on that next week, so in the next week to 10 days.

[@vgkfan475]

@@unclecoolie Ok. I am looking forward to it!

[@marcbyrnes293]

Enjoy your videos immensely. Between situations right now, otherwise I'd be happy to offer up a contribution to help with the costs Once again,To paraphrase Jerry Garcia, keep on truckin'. Btw: it's okay if the trip is long, just so it doesn't get to be too strange.

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks! Right now the problem is safety and time; otherwise, I have the means for future trips.

1:45:30 El Capitan and Half Dome come into view 1:47:00 Wawona Tunnel 2:17:12 Highway 120 (Tioga Road) 2:27:43 South Fork Tuolumne River. In 1994 I stopped in the turnout to change a cd in my 1993 Z-24 Camaro. I played Joe Satriani's album Flying In A Blue Dream from here. The music, the car, the road all blended together for an unforgettable time. Sadly the forest is not the same now, due to large wildfires, but the road is the same kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXizqZyArtOdgrM

[@williamkinsey8174]

Yes can not believe how much the forest fires have changed the forest canopy. When I was here in the early eighties it the cover was total.

[@eddieeclark314]

these videos are just amazing

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks!

[@Sakivb7]

Great video's What type of Camera are you using???

[@unclecoolie]

Thanks. It was the Garmin Virb Ultra 30.

[@Sakivb7]

@@unclecoolie very cool thank you!! Love your videos and it's awfully boring after Fallon NV isn't it?? 😁😁😁

[@unclecoolie]

@@Sakivb7 Actually, I liked driving through the endless wilderness. I live in the DC area, and that type of topography is something I don't get to see often.

[@Sakivb7]

@@unclecoolie it is nice. Especially when you come from cities. I do appreciate it also. I used to live in Carson City. Nice area. I'm in Fresno currently and from Watsonville. You drove past there on one of your other journeys. I appreciate the videos. They bring back some great memories...

[@кирилский]

you maybe need torpedo cover from Aliexpress in order to limit reflections on windshield. It costs only $15, I have one on my Juke

[@unclecoolie]

I had been using dark clothing, but I didn't think that I would have any issues with this car that I was driving. Clearly, I need to be more mindful in future trips.

[@renanwalkerusa]

amazing video ! what kind of camera do you use buddy?

[@unclecoolie]

Thank you! I used the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 for this.
