    What a wonderful highway! I enjoyed going through the less traveled parts of the US. I researched it and learned it is the longest continuous highway in the country. Thanks, Uncle Coolie! Waiting for the next leg of the trip!

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  Місяць тому +1

      That's true, since US-20 is no longer a designated highway in Yellowstone. Even when US-20 was, when US-6 reached Long Beach, CA, US-6 was far and away the longest highway in the US. I'm already exporting part 3 from Virb now, which will take over a day, then I will start editing it next week sometime.

The weather was quite good until PA, with rain for the last part. Can't wait to see also the next sections, until the west coast.

      I wasn't expecting those, either. I knew about one near Dotsero, Colorado, because Google Maps would not let me form a clean US-6 route through there (road closure, similar to what happened in central California during my PCH drive). Fortunately, I was able to avoid getting lost each time.

    1:50 - In Switzerland, we'd have a 50 MPH limit on this road (and no speedbumps). No houses, no nothing. It's a rural two-way road without any hazards or dangers. I don't understand how there can be a 25 MPH limit on such a wide easy road.

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 місяці тому

      The low speed limit there, I think, is because there are a lot of bicyclists and beach walkers in that area.

      You noticed that, LOL. I had mistakenly taken that first right, which went around and over the road and back in the other direction, so I did that and turned around to be back on US-6 before I made the wrong turn. I made a handful or so of wrong turns throughout the whole trip across the county. When I upload the next video, you'll see that I made two wrong turns in Cleveland alone, and I editied it in the same manor as this wrong turn in Port Jervis, NY.

      You've guessed correctly. I only went there for a few years, back in the late 1980s. I wanted to check my phone to make sure what the exact routing of US-6 was ahead. I knew the way until Milford, PA, from growing up in that part of New York, but beyond Milford, US-6 was unknown to me.
