10 years ago, I use to take this route every single morning to work from Carson to Reno. I don't miss living in Carson City, but I do miss the beautiful drive in the early morning as that morning fog blankets over the mountains from the West into the valley lake with the blue sky shining down on everything.
Dude, your videos are the best. I really appreciate what you do. A lot of people aren't fortunate enough to ever get out of their city and travel, but you make videos for those of us that love travelling but can't afford to do it often. That means a lot man honestly. :)
I love your videos and a bit jealous that you get to travel the country, but this let's me and others get a taste of our huge and wonderful country! Kudos!
+70sfred1 I don't get to travel as much as you think (or as much as I'd like), just one major trip a year but thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
I was just in Nevada last week for my 1st time ever in Las Vegas and CES, and I was absolutely amazed. The Strip is definitely something else! Outside of the Strip, Fremont Street was a sight to behold too. You're making me want to go back and watch your Las Vegas videos again now.
The I-80 across Nevada video was taking down months ago but before that happened I heard 2 songs on it that I never heard before that I really liked Gentle on my mind by Glenn Campbell and the other one was in a big country dreams stay with you by Big Country thank you freeway jim
Visited Carson City to see family sometime in the 00's and remember seeing pieces of the interstate being built through town. Cool to see how it turned out, at the time it was mostly the bridges for crossroads built.
Great ride! Sorry about the delay in watching it- but has been a busy week for me and all- finally was worth the wait to see the vid! Awesome to see a newer interstate- looked like a sweet ride! Also always cool to see Reno, NV! Awesome job! Can't wait to see your I-80 across Nevada as 80 is one of my favorite interstates!
Left the area in 2014 after 15 years there. Before that a friend and I used to muse over what would be finished first: I580 or the reopening of the Ormsby House hotel in Carson City. This video settle it.
nice video Jim an automatic deicing device was in use on Interstate 78 from exit 7 to 11 2006 to 2009 and I would say the 5 freeway should use them in the violin summit area exits 183-176
Hi Jim, was just going through your playlist which contains all of your videos from the states you have been to and it has totally shocked me that you have only been to Nevada once or maybe just done 1 or 2 vids in the whole state compared to all the rest of the states..............
+Andrew Silva There's two from Las Vegas from 2013, this one and next weeks video of I-80 :) It's not a destination for me like SF or LA os, so I film what I can while passing through.
Just wanted to thank you for making these great ride along videos. I am from West Central Illinois and recently went out west to Stagecoach Nevada to visit my niece. Then from there we went to California. I was wondering if you have made a video going to Fort Bragg from Reno? The Lake Tahoe to Carson City was really great to see since i never really got to see all my surrounding and your video made that possible for me. Thank you again, and PLEASE keep the videos coming. Im a FAN!
been living here almost 30 years now, and will admit the freeway has been a long time coming, but with it, it has meant the the businesses on the northern part of carson have been suffering quite a bit only because not nearly as many people now when they come into carson from Reno actually come into the city, they all mostly stay on the Highway now and bypass mostly the whole northern part of the city, the last phase of the freeway from Fairview to Highway 50 West to Lake Tahoe shuld be opening up in the next couple of year hopefully...
And there was a day when 50 and the old routes was the only.. Now traveling on the new sections no longer allow you to live history.. I drive it regularly..
aure hope that you can come back and do another video but this time do it when our Last section of the freeway opens to the Lake Tahoe turnoff, it hopefully will be completed and open within the next couple of years if that
+Bastrin Oh you wanted the setup...here's a video of that and yes the camera is discontinued but Sony has newer models that are likely just as good. ua-cam.com/video/ApDqCR7T5bA/v-deo.html
What's the average amount of time it takes? Is it worth it for someone to live in one and drive to the other everyday? Does that just depend on the job and how good it pays? Or would it make more sense to just do this trip for shopping, visiting, fun, etc. on occasion? It just seems that even with this sped up, it takes a while : /
who was this person again who filmed this video for you, just wanted to let them know about the last section ofhe Carson City Freeway whcih they say sould be open sometime late spring or early Summer of next year.....
Because it is built to Interstate standards and connects with I-80, most 3 digit Interstates are short in length, they are auxiliary routes from the main route.
+Dikra Lazuardi Not at the moment but I will have a section around Limon heading east coming next month in video #15-40, but honestly there isn't much to see east of Denver.
We really dislike this boring see nothing drive, however in twenty years have "never" seen a Highway Patrol vehicle, so you can drive like hell to get to Reno.

+Vincent Vera Thank you very much, T greatly appreciate your kind words...I'll do this as long as I can :)
I used to live in Reno and work in Carson City, made that trip 5 days a week for six months...memories +++
There's a commuter bus now for that.
I drive along this beautiful route from Reno to Carson City every week. The wind winds can get very unfriendly sometimes.
There are a lot of nice sceneries out there in the west. I-580 has been extended southward in Carson City since this video was done.
I just discovered your channel. Very cool stuff and very well done.
+Owe Jay Thank you for watching!
+Desert Trooper Thank you!

+saxman112 It's a pretty cool place for sure! nothing else like it.
The I-80 across Nevada video was taking down months ago but before that happened I heard 2 songs on it that I never heard before that I really liked Gentle on my mind by Glenn Campbell and the other one was in a big country dreams stay with you by Big Country thank you freeway jim
The 2nd one is "In a Big Country" by Big Country, glad you liked the tunes!
Neat-o. One trip, two different I-580s.
That was a very cool video! I've always been impressed with those automatic de-icers on those longer bridges.
+Mountain West Highways Thank you!
Sweet drive! I just love how everything in the southwest just blends in with the mountain landscape!
+saxman112 Thanks!
Visited Carson City to see family sometime in the 00's and remember seeing pieces of the interstate being built through town. Cool to see how it turned out, at the time it was mostly the bridges for crossroads built.
Beautiful landscape to film. And lambs noticed you drove swiftly. 😉 Great job!
+Upeedina Lamb Thank you!
No thank you for making these videos.

+cjs121675 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! and I think you'll really enjoy the upcoming I-80 video, it will be my longest one to date.

That is a pretty sweet drive! And curse you! To the iTunes Store I go!
+TheSolarcatcher LOL, thanks, glad you liked it!
Wow!!! Great Scenery. I really love your videos Jim. Keep it up!! You're are going to be something big on youtube
+Matthew Morgan (SoccerShots89) Thank you very much!
sweet video,this is the one i was looking forward to…great ride indeed.
+James Wormsley Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Freewayjim anytime
It's different now. 580 goes through to 395 at 50 and you no longer have to get on from Fairview. We drove this stretch yesterday.
Amazing!! Beautiful!!
+rsdaddy141 Thanks!
Thanks for another great ride, Jim. Interesting choice of music for this one.
+ca2fla Thanks, gotta change things up and not stay married to one style :)
I think the original background music is from the band Delegation.
Great Video!!!!!!!!!
+Nash wayz Thanks Nash!

Loved the last two video collaborations with InterstateKyle
+Edward Kollin Thanks, we're both happy with how they turned out.
Wow, very interesting! Never been to Carson City .... this was an eye opener. Have you ever done anything with the St. George area in Utah?
Thanks, yes I have, not my best work but this video starts in St. George. ua-cam.com/video/-BtdBsWY9MQ/v-deo.html

Two greatest collaborating, God has mercy on highway lovers like me. LOL needless to mention another nice presentation. Proud to be # 1 to comment.
+Syed Ali Thanks, glad you liked it.
Wonder when this will be I-11 once they extended it north once they add I-11 though the Los Vegas metro area
that was a beautiful ride and nice song for it.... keep up the good work......... and there's no need to get in your business.... lol😀
+Kerley Moh LOL, thanks :)
i love U.S.A. cities. which is why i subscribed to this channel
been living here almost 30 years now, and will admit the freeway has been a long time coming, but with it, it has meant the the businesses on the northern part of carson have been suffering quite a bit only because not nearly as many people now when they come into carson from Reno actually come into the city, they all mostly stay on the Highway now and bypass mostly the whole northern part of the city, the last phase of the freeway from Fairview to Highway 50 West to Lake Tahoe shuld be opening up in the next couple of year hopefully...
another awesome video
+acfhs2010 Thanks!
This is ab if you remember who called you guys president and vice president, I am revealing my ID for you guys. great work
Wonder if they have plans to extend this interstate south the Las Vegas.
I would never have thought before that Nevada would need de-icers :-D
Oh yeah. High elevations and no climate factors to control constant temperatures. It gets cold and than hot
Interstate 580 is very nice!
I'm glad you were able to take this trip and great job recently getting 16,000 subscribers. How does it feel?
+Orange Puppy 10 Thank you, and it's pretty nice!
Orange Puppy 10
Really nice, Jim.
+JJNYCguy Thank you!
Beutiful🙌🏼🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
And there was a day when 50 and the old routes was the only..
Now traveling on the new sections no longer allow you to live history..
I drive it regularly..
great video please do I-15 primm north to Las Vegas
+Snoop Eastwood Thanks, maybe someday.
aure hope that you can come back and do another video but this time do it when our Last section of the freeway opens to the Lake Tahoe turnoff, it hopefully will be completed and open within the next couple of years if that
I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Hello could you please tell me the camera you use I really want to get a time lapse of my next trip!
+Bastrin All my equipment is listed in the closing credits as noted in the description above.
+Freewayjim You don't have what you put your camera on etc and the camera is discontinued
+Bastrin Oh you wanted the setup...here's a video of that and yes the camera is discontinued but Sony has newer models that are likely just as good. ua-cam.com/video/ApDqCR7T5bA/v-deo.html
+Freewayjim Thank you! You should make a updated one!
Moving there soon

Or would it make more sense to just do this trip for shopping, visiting, fun, etc. on occasion? It just seems that even with this sped up, it takes a while : /
Real time for this was 26 minutes, I doubt heavy traffic is an isue on most days, so to answer your question, 25-30 minutes is probably average.
who was this person again who filmed this video for you, just wanted to let them know about the last section ofhe Carson City Freeway whcih they say sould be open sometime late spring or early Summer of next year.....
WTH are you talking about? I filmed this.
makes me dance on da road
Do you have a video of I80 going west from Reno?
This the closest I would have to that. ua-cam.com/video/Dldcom7qZKM/v-deo.html
0:59-1:28 its us 395,us 50,and i 580
Why do they call a 35 mile stretch of road I580 ?
Because it is built to Interstate standards and connects with I-80, most 3 digit Interstates are short in length, they are auxiliary routes from the main route.
I can't stop hitting replay. This video is too awesome too stop watching.
+West Coast Highways Thanks, glad you like it!
Do you have I-70 at Eastern Colorado videos?
+Dikra Lazuardi Not at the moment but I will have a section around Limon heading east coming next month in video #15-40, but honestly there isn't much to see east of Denver.
Where do you get these historical maps from?
+Kevin Izykowski They are Scans from my personal collection of old road maps, they are affordable and plentiful on ebay.
The only good thing about this Freeway is when you get "OFF" of it.
For this video they should have played the theme from Bonanza.
It's not near long enough
I live in Reno
3:45 Was that a meteor? It slowly disappeared.
+Wildman I have no idea what that was.
It's a plane, I see those all the time
We really dislike this boring see nothing drive, however in twenty years have "never" seen a Highway Patrol vehicle, so you can drive like hell to get to Reno.
