Awesome video. Air temperature, altitude, latitude and longitude, date, time, speed, and now in real time. You should have more subscribers. I can’t wait until you upload the real time version of going back. Incan’t wait for winter. The winter sun, winter trees, winter grass look amazing together. If there is snow, then even better.
Thanks! I'm not complaining about the subscriber counts. I get about 1,500 new subscribers each month, which makes me happy. I've been really busy lately with a new job, so it's limited how much time I can spend editing videos, but I'm working on the rest of this trip to Florida and back. Editing 10-hour+ UHD video also is extremely time consuming, but I'm happy to upload real time video in UHD that long.
@@paull2937 I'm not, no. The income I get barely covers the costs of doing the trips. It justifies being able to do them, though, which is all I care about.
It’s ironic that I am watching this video and the hurricane Ian is coming towards this area. The video shows a beautiful day in January, but I dread what’s coming their way. Thanks for the view of a calm area at this time.
Great video. Fun seeing you travel through my state. I live in the Piedmont section whereas you took the coastal plains route. In this video I saw a lot of home state places I've never been to before. Fun.
I love taking 13S across the Bay Bridge. Just watch out for the speed traps! Brings back memories when my son was stationed at Naval Base Norfolk for 4 years. Drove down there using this route to see him off and greet him home when he went of his deployments.
Thank you! I wouldn't include it at first because I was afraid that it could be used against me since I drive a little bit above the speed limits at times.
Thank you! This was a pain to edit and upload, mainly because I kept it in its native 2160p resolution. I should have an easier time doing the rest of this trip, though, thanks to lessons learned.
Love the videos they are so relaxing. Have you thought of splitting the videos up into 1 hour long videos and posting them every couple of days. it will probably help with your analytics because it will show more traffic (no pun intended) to your channel. Will also let people watch the whole video in one setting vice multiple days. just a thought.
Thank you! I have thought about that, and I might do that for the trip back to Virginia from Miami. I'm already 80% finished with the next segment of this trip, which is the Jacksonville, NC to Jacksonville, FL segment. The only downside to doing several smaller segments is that I have to create the map overlay for each segment, which takes me a while. I might break that trip down into 5-6 segments. Great tip!
@@unclecoolie it will take me some nights to view this one :-D I think I can't view more than an hour per night so this will be enough material for more than a week.
We want more vids!! We want more vids!! Every single video you make is a masterpiece the temp/elevation map everything is so perfect!!! I watch just to see the elevation and temp change..Bravo!!@!@@! 10/10 rating
Really love your channel and these real-time vids are amazing. I would love to see a deep south trip (Georgia, Mississipi, Alabama, Texas) one day in the future.
@@unclecoolie I know how it feels, this year I really wanted to see the US (I'm from the UK) for the summer but the pandemic had gotten much worse than expected.
What an interesting trip this is. It would have never occurred to me to cross over onto the Eastern shore to travel to Jacksonville North Carolina. When you travel over to the Eastern shore and then South you really realize how much this continent veers to the west. It's a lot farther to Jacksonville from Salisbury Maryland than it is from where I live in Prince William County Virginia. Also I really find it interesting that leaving Van Dorn and getting onto 495 that you're driving on S I-95when in fact you're heading northbound.
Cool. I live just north of your in Fairfax County. I originally wanted to do a coastal road trip when I did my east coast road trip back in 2018, but due to time constraints I had to do that trip mainly on I-95.
I love your videos. Especially the east to west videos, like the Washington, DC, to Seattle, WA video. And the number one road trip I love most is the Virginia - Nebraska - California road trip. that road trip feels like coming home, although I even don't live in the US. I hope you will do more of those awesome and beautiful road trips in the future. So, how about a New York - Chicago - Denver - Salt Lake City - San Francisco road trip? :D But any road trip will do, although I would prefer road trips in the west of the US. But I really love all your road trips.
Thank you! I have been planning another east-west cross-country road trip for over a year now, but I'm not sure when I can do it. I'm hoping that I can do it this year.
Beautiful trips, its really a pleasure to see those beautiful landscapes in USA. Thank You for sharing Your journeys with us. What type of car are You using for these trips Sir? I am sure it must be a very comfortable truck as You drive very long trips. Would You travel in a Mountains State this Year maybe? Have a nice Day and many interesting trips more :)!
@@unclecoolie from here (fairfax County part of alexandria) yeah 95 to 264, 17s, 258s, it's hard to remember. Been 21 years. I wasn't mocking your time. 19-23 year old me was trying to set records. Had -12 points at one time!
I feel like doing one of these soon I'm guessing you'll need to record get back edit then upload which is a month if you don't have time to do it the same day
The two black dots on the map overlay, are they where wrong turns were taken or the camera stopped working? 15 minutes was lost at the first one. Thanks
I recorded this with the Garmin Virb Ultra 30. I use a 512 GB micro SD card, because it can hold around 16 hours' worth of UHD video. Editing UHD videos this big is cumbersome, and the final video from Final Cut Pro was over 200 GB. Because of YT's 128 GB file limit size, I have to compress the video down to below 128 GB.
Could you please include the Heading information you used to put in? It really is nice to know which direction we're going, especially when you can't see the sun.
I would, but I found it to be too inaccurate. Too often it would show that I'm traveling at 240 degrees when I was actually heading at 270 degrees, etc. If I can find a way to update that app, I will use it again. The GPS positions are extremely accurate, so an accurate heading should be very possible.
I had considered driving through downtown DC, but after the Capitol riots and hearing about the total shutdown of the city center, I chose this route instead.
Almost 4 years after first seeing your videos, I finally started a road trip on my own... but the video quality was way less than ideal :( The camera claims to be HD 1080p but most videos are grainy and pixelated
Actually, I live in Fairfax County just outside of Herndon, but I had to remove the first part of the video since it was dark, and I made several wrong turns. 😊

I go to the beaches down there at least a couple times a year therefore I recognize a lot of that stuff ur passing through
I knew someone who was stationed in Jacksonville about 10 years ago, so I remember some things from this trip, too.
It’s ironic that I am watching this video and the hurricane Ian is coming towards this area. The video shows a beautiful day in January, but I dread what’s coming their way. Thanks for the view of a calm area at this time.
Thanks. I know what you mean. I lived in the Fort Lauderdale area when Andrew hit back in 1992. It was not fun.
Great video. Fun seeing you travel through my state. I live in the Piedmont section whereas you took the coastal plains route. In this video I saw a lot of home state places I've never been to before. Fun.
Thank you!
From beginning to end I always enjoy your videos. Specially the long ones. Awesome journey
Awesome, thank you!

True. I've been across that bridge-tunnel 3 times, and I've seen cops there each time.
Excellent buddy keep it up complete road trips east coast and more.
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for showing actual speed makes more enjoyable and relaxing to watch keep up good work
Thank you! I wouldn't include it at first because I was afraid that it could be used against me since I drive a little bit above the speed limits at times.
Yippee a new real time video! Thank you Uncle Coolie!!! 😊

Good video for the trip, man! Thanks for the new video that I ready to watched it!
Thank you!
This is feel much better and this video is little bit slow not too fast
I love the view of the sea in the bridge
That was my favorite part of the drive.

Thank you! I'm working on the Jax-Mia real time version now and should have it uploaded within a week.
@@unclecoolie I wish you could post 1 video every week. real time. thank you for your work

Same trip every Sunday night. Back to camp Lejeune from alexandria. My fastest time home was 5h45 min though.
I imagine that you take I-95 though, right?
@@unclecoolie from here (fairfax County part of alexandria) yeah 95 to 264, 17s, 258s, it's hard to remember. Been 21 years. I wasn't mocking your time. 19-23 year old me was trying to set records. Had -12 points at one time!
@@chrissmith-rv5ro No, I-95 is much faster. I wanted to try to stay close to the coast, and to go over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
I just noticed that when you were on the I-495 outer loop that is also I-95 north as you were heading to US50
That's correct.
I feel like doing one of these soon I'm guessing you'll need to record get back edit then upload which is a month if you don't have time to do it the same day
The editing process takes a long time, especially for these videos that I'm now leaving in their native UHD formats.
The two black dots on the map overlay, are they where wrong turns were taken or the camera stopped working? 15 minutes was lost at the first one. Thanks
Yes, that was from the wrong turns.
Grey tower in 6:40:40, is it watertower? I have seen such towers many times on these videos.
Yes. I still see them in many small towns/cities throughout the country.
What equipment is used to make the video? Interesting how it is in 4K, with the length of the video it would be almost a 200GB file
I recorded this with the Garmin Virb Ultra 30. I use a 512 GB micro SD card, because it can hold around 16 hours' worth of UHD video.

Yeaaa! Real-time! Quick question: do you go on these trips for a specific reason or just for fun?
Both. This was just for fun, in large part because it was the first major road trip I'd done since October 2019.
@@unclecoolie I’m guessing that’s because of covid. Glad you’re back at it and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
@@Yazmania Thanks! I'm wanting to do another cross-country trip, but I'm just not sure when I'll be able to do it.

The District of Columbia just made a cameo lol
I had considered driving through downtown DC, but after the Capitol riots and hearing about the total shutdown of the city center, I chose this route instead.
how long does it take you to record and upload a video?
This one took a long time to edit, because I had to run it through 3 different apps: Virb, Final Cut Pro, iMovie; and each time took a day or more.
Almost 4 years after first seeing your videos, I finally started a road trip on my own... but the video quality was way less than ideal :( The camera claims to be HD 1080p but most videos are grainy and pixelated
It's important to research the type of camera.
I enjoy the back roads much more than the Interstates, so enjoying this but...What's up with your elevation readings?
Yeah, the elevation readings get a little wonky at times.
Slight problem outer loop of 495 same as north bound I 95
And on eastern shore you keep Maryland in the loop instead of Virginia
Unfortunately, I had such a hard time with this video that I wasn't able to QC it much.
Ayyy another Alexandrian
Actually, I live in Fairfax County just outside of Herndon, but I had to remove the first part of the video since it was dark, and I made several wrong turns. 😊
Great video! Since you are fully vaccinated. Are you planning to do road trip this summer?
Thanks! I would love to, but I just started a new job, so I don't yet have any vacation saved up. I'll try to work out something this summer, though.
yayyyyyy! Also 4k!
why dont you go to raleigh?
I wanted to stay along the coast as much as possible.
@@unclecoolie oh ok
You should make some merchandise
Maybe I will one day!
Are u gonna do a mudwest ttip like ohio Illinois michigan or missouri?
I have a trip planned, but I'm not sure when I can do it yet.
Awesme channel. New viewer. Are you solely being paid b the video u post? If so is covering fuel, food and maintenance
Thank you! I get paid for these, but not enough to cover the costs. I mainly do these because I enjoy doing them.
26:57 ...enter unsigned I-595
please do more trips
I am planning on it.
Do California to Florida road trip
I want to do a trip to the west coast. I'm just not sure when I'll have the time to do it.
Please drive to the outer banks
I've never been there, so that's a possibility.
What car did you use?
A 2018-2020 Chrysler Pacifica that I rented from Dulles Airport.
