Looking forward to all the footage! I love the real time vids, as they give me my road trip fix (it's been 3 years since I was last over in the States now and I'm missing it like crazy!) I tend to put a real time vid on while I'm working so whenever I take a break from looking at my computer, I see something lovely on my TV screen! 😂 📺 Safe travels!
videos like these really help me feel more connected to the world. as someone whose immunocompromised its been hard to let myself go outside the past couple years, but these videos are great for those days im sick of being stuck inside and help remind me i have so much more to see when its finally safe outside 💕 thank you so much!
4K, all Real Time, no hideous music in the background, ...EXCELLENT !!! I particularly like the drive across Washington. It was almost like being *home.* On the way through Ellensburg I did have a desire to leave the freeway and head over to my Dorm _.....( If it's still there!!! )_
Thank you for this video, I love your real time road trips. Also I appreciate you taking your time to edit these videos, I know you have other things to do like family or work and I'm sure editing these videos took very long so thank you for taking the time to edit these road trips.
Thank you! They do take a long time to make. Fortunately, it's not as bad making the real time versions after I make the time lapse because all of the points of interests and graphics are already done, and all I have to do for the real time is export the raw video from Virb, create a new map overlay, and adjust the times of the points of interests that I have saved to reflect that the time-differences between points are 4 times longer--that's it. The brunt of the work always goes into making the time lapse version first.
Love all your real time videos. It's all so very relaxing and the views are beautiful. Thanks for your work and making them available! I always have them as background when I'm working and even when I can't fall asleep.
I really like the part between Moses Lake WA to Deer Lodge MT the most. The scenery at sunset in Montana around 7:28:00 and 7:50:00 was breathtaking. I definitely plan to spend some time in the Spokane, Coeur d' Alene, and Lookout Pass regions, when I will have the opportunity. I mean this country has a gazillion of beautiful spots and routes, but this corner is a must-see for me. Thank you sir for giving me the opportunity to travel, at least virtual for now. Have a good time, take care, and always have a safe trip.
Hello U.C. it´s me. I´m watching your new video and as usual great and wonderful. (until now WA, Kittitas County) Thank you so much too! I remember. The junction I-82 / I-90, you had passed this point in an other road trip, westbound from I-82, exactly May 6th, 2018 at 9:20 a.m. on the way from Caldwell ID to Tacoma WA. Awesome. *LOL* bye for now, Robert.
Thank you! I had a lot of travel over the last few weeks (including the recording of another road trip), so I haven't had the chance to really work on day 2 until now. I will have it uploaded within the next couple of weeks.
I-90 has many attractions, a great roadtrip through NW. Enjoyed every km of it, watched it until it got dark, can't wait for the continuation. Thanks a lot for the video, greetings from a fellow roadtripper and creator from Germany!
Thank you! Day 2 is coming in the next couple of weeks. I had to take a few weeks' break from editing due to a lot of travel, including another road trip that I'll be uploading sometime after I finish the real time of this trip.
Thanks. I just missed a storm by only a couple of days in Idaho and Montana. I got caught up in one in North Dakota and Minnesota--frigid temperatures, too.
Thanks! I'm glad to know that! I will be going on vacation next week, so it will be at least a week after next before I can get day 2 uploaded. Plus, I just got done with another road trip last week, so I'll be uploading video from that in the near future, too.
Man.... wish I could record my travels from Seattle to Ciudad Juarez Mexico in real time like this when i did it 4 times alone back in the mid 2000's when i was in my late teens and early 20's. I got caught in a snowstorm in Utah and a hailstorm in New Mexico.... Love these videos!
@ 1:58:49 if you look to the right side of the screen on top of the hill to the right of the two, you can see three small objects on top of the hill. There are 15 wild hose sculptures up there, in 1989 David Govedare built the wild horses and named it “Grandfather cuts loose the ponies”. It’s an easy hike from the parking lot, I have pics of us on our way home from a snowboard trip to Schweitzer Idaho sitting on them emulating cowboys. I did just read a text that someone has tagged them 🤬
another super video once again thank you so much for wishing you health and that you delight us with the next trips especially in real time good luck to you on new trips and you need to conquer Mexico I then I did not find practically trips around Mexico in real time tell this trip very different route from your trip from Washington to Seattle?
Thank you! I'd love to drive into Mexico one day. It's just a matter of fitting it into my schedule, which is difficult. I do have another big road trip coming up in the next several weeks, though, that will be different than this road trip.
I misspelled it and didn't catch it before uploading. The problem was that I misspelled it when I was going through the raw video and tagging the points of interest, so I didn't realize during editing that the name was spelled wrong.
Great drive! Wow I wasn't expected you upload this video in real time this fast. When will you upload hyper-time lapse like you did Washington DC to Seattle, WA state few years ago?
Thanks. I started editing the real time version right after I finished with the time lapse and before I uploaded it. The real time versions are much easier as nearly all of the points of interest and graphic overlays are already done for the time lapse version. It's just a matter of a fresh export from Virb and new map overlay. I have another big trip coming up, and I'll upload a hyper lapse sometime after I finish with that trip.
I'm at home on my laptop watching... at 78 years old, that's pretty much all I can do now a days. I certainly can not drive 75 miles an hour in icy mountain ranges (the cascades?). Am sitting along on this one.
From Seattle to Billings is pretty and I always enjoy seeing video of Snoqualmie and Coure D' Elane area and around Missoula to Butte ( I know, I find myself saying butt too) .
Final you back now where you been you not post 5 months what happened! You drive January 21 2022 to 821 miles Seattle Washington to Billings MT! by the way nice video to! I appreciate you thanks for the update!
hello, would it be possible to make a trip from St Louis to Tucson in x1 speed (several parts or not that I don't care). In any case, thank you for your videos, it's incredible, it makes me travel to American regions unknown to me.
Thank you! I don't know about that exact route anytime in the near future. I do have more trips planned that will likely pass through Arizona later this year, but I'll see.
Thanks! I've been using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 with 512 GB micro SD card. With that size card, I can get more than 16 hours' worth of UHD video. I back up the video onto an external hard drive each night.
Hello, can i ask what camera you are using and what app to get the gps data. i plan to complete my 2nd trip around australia in a few months 16,000km and would like to share the same experience.
I used the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which records GPS information. I use a 512 GB micro SD card, which records about 16 hours' worth of UHD-30fps video. I brought my MacBook with a 5 TB external hard drive to back up the video each night. The Virb software extracts the GPS data and puts whatever the user wants on the video and exports the video. I then create all of the graphic overlays separately and do all of the editing with Final Cut Pro. The camera does also have a way to record the temperature using an external sensor, but the sensor would not work in the car, so I simply wrote down the temperature that the car showed it to be on a piece of paper about every 15-30 minutes. I'm working on editing a new road trip video of a trip that I did last month, and then I may make a how-to video of how I make my videos. However, if you have any questions, let me know.
@@unclecoolie I tried a simulation setup using my gopro hero 7 black and it would constantly overheat. I remedied that by having the front air-conditioning on slightly but the video wasn't consistent and it was infuriating. So I'm currently experimenting with a 4k camcorder
@@AridersLifeYT Back in 2018 when I bought my Garmin, I did several comparisons with other cameras, including the GoPro. The one thing that I found, even back then, was complaints about overheating. I can say that, for the most part, I've not had overheating issues with the Garmin. The two times that I did have overheating issues (Jacksonville, Florida - January 2021 and Texas - March 2022), I remedied by either using a backup Garmin (yes, I have a 2nd Garmin Virb Ultra 30 with a separate micro SD card in case), or turning down the passenger sun visor (or driver visor in your case, since you're from Australia--a country that drives on the right-side of the car) and turning up the AC and pointing the right side vents upward toward the right-side visor. Otherwise, the only complaints that I have with the Garmin are: the occasional dropout with the GPS information; and some of the apps not working, such as the header (which should be 100%, given that the GPS location has very accurate).
I stop about every 2 hours or so on average. I try to combine rest room stops with gas stops when I can, but sometimes I just have to stop to check my directions, or to clean the windshield, like what I had to do often while driving through Wisconsin.

I am from Turkey, İf possible I want to learn how can you show the map and the real time datas on the video?
@ The white routing line is generated by the Virb software that the Garmin Ultra 30 uses, but I create the outlined map overlay myself showing the states.
Thanks. My camera only records in 30fps, but I'll be uploading a hyper-lapse version of this video in 60fps. I could do the 4x time lapse in 60fps, but the project file at 30fps nearly takes up my 2 TB hard drive and forever to export as it is. Perhaps, smaller road trips will get the 60fps treatment when I edit in the future.
Any full size car, but I've discovered that I like minivans the most because they usually have the shortest hoods, which make for more of the road to be seen in the video. I drove a Chrysler Voyager for this trip.
I didn't realize that, but I know the Seattle area has a lot of HQs. Where I was staying (Pan Pacific), had several Amazon buildings within a few blocks of the hotel. Incredible.
It takes me more than 40 hours to do the first time lapse version of a new trip. I have to first setup the GPS information and speed up the clips to 400% and export from Virb. Then I have to go through the whole video and log the times of all of the points of interest (highway traveled on, county/state borders, etc.). Then I have to create all of the overlays needed (map overlays and highway signs and directions). I've also been tracking the temperatures separately while I do my drives now. Then I finally do the actual editing in Final Cut Pro. For big videos I edit the trip in sections due to the mass size of the files. I do a QC to find mistakes, and once I'm satisfied with the video, I run it through iMovie just to compress the video down enough to be within UA-cam's file size limit (used to be 128 GB, but now 256 GB) and upload. When I do the real time versions, I just have to re-export the video from Virb with the GPS configuration that I choose, but I don't have to take the time to speed up the clips. Also, all of the points of interests are listed, as well as all of the map overlays. The only extra thing I have to do is create new map overlay(s) and take the times of the points of interest and multiplying by 4. That's why it's a lot less work for me to do the real time versions once I have already done the time lapse version. One day I will make a how-to video of how I create these videos.
Mostly pleasure, but this trip coincided with a business trip I made to Seattle early that week. I just decided to take the opportunity to drive back to Virginia instead of flying instead. I have another business trip coming up for which I'm doing the same thing.
Haha. I can tell you that I did a lot of walking around in the downtown Seattle while I was there the rest of the week before doing this trip, and I smelled pee a lot. I frequently saw tents on sidewalks and in parks, despite being cold and rainy the whole week. The morning of this trip was the mildest it had been all week.
I've seen some bad accidents, but they happened before I got there. I did get some close calls, and witnessed someone getting pulled over for speeding. Otherwise, just usually shenanigans from different drivers, such as making a right turn from the left lane, etc. I've considered doing a compilation video of all of the incidents that I've witnessed in all of my driving.
I like this kind of video a lot.and I Want to record my trip as well. May I have the brand name of your carrecorder which could record map trace and speed in real time. I am a chinese and i wish to upload some roadtrip scenery of china.
Thanks. I’ve been using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 with a 512 GB micro SD card. I create my own graphic overlays, and I do the editing with Final Cut Pro.
@@willdowns1745 I was within 10 miles of that house during this drive. But since it was dark, and I was pressed to get back home by the following Monday afternoon, I had to skip seeing it. I'll make another trip to the area to see it eventually, though.
@@unclecoolie They’ll probably start doing tours to the public again soon. My grandparents did the tour some years ago and the actor who played Scott Farkus was the tour guide
Actually, it's Homestake Pass, 6,329 feet (at 8:09:05 in the video). The GPS is reading the elevation a little low, but that was the highest point and continental divide of this whole trip, even to Washington, DC.
King of Amazon, too, as half of the buildings where I stayed were Amazon's. I agree that the weather there is lousy. I remember reading that suicides are highest in the Seattle area than anywhere else in the U.S., and likely that's due to the seemingly endless overcast and rainy weather.
I tend to stay away from the rightmost lane when there are 3 or more lanes in areas that I don't know well, because too often the rightmost lane ends as an exit only.
I have a lot of travel coming up in the next several weeks, so it will likely be late April before I get day two of this trip uploaded.
No worry, we can wait.
Looking forward!!!

@@unclecoolie Thanks for the relply man, and thanks for the informations. Waiting for other videos. :P
@@EnvloyGaming Anytime!
what kind of car do you usually drive on these cross country trips?
Any full size car, but I've discovered that I like minivans the most because they usually have the shortest hoods, which make for more of the road to be seen in the video. I drove a Chrysler Voyager for this trip.
Just started this one, where is the ending for this trip?
This day was Billings, Montana, but this whole trip ended in Virginia just outside of Washington, DC.
Great video tnks
Thanks!
12:18 - And if you'll look to your right, you'll see the headquarters for T-Mobile USA.
I didn't realize that, but I know the Seattle area has a lot of HQs. Where I was staying (Pan Pacific), had several Amazon buildings within a few blocks of the hotel. Incredible.
How long does it usually take you to edit these types of videos?
It takes me more than 40 hours to do the first time lapse version of a new trip. I have to first setup the GPS information and speed up the clips to 400% and export from Virb. Then I have to go through the whole video and log the times of all of the points of interest (highway traveled on, county/state borders, etc.). Then I have to create all of the overlays needed (map overlays and highway signs and directions). I've also been tracking the temperatures separately while I do my drives now. Then I finally do the actual editing in Final Cut Pro. For big videos I edit the trip in sections due to the mass size of the files. I do a QC to find mistakes, and once I'm satisfied with the video, I run it through iMovie just to compress the video down enough to be within UA-cam's file size limit (used to be 128 GB, but now 256 GB) and upload.
When I do the real time versions, I just have to re-export the video from Virb with the GPS configuration that I choose, but I don't have to take the time to speed up the clips. Also, all of the points of interests are listed, as well as all of the map overlays. The only extra thing I have to do is create new map overlay(s) and take the times of the points of interest and multiplying by 4. That's why it's a lot less work for me to do the real time versions once I have already done the time lapse version.
One day I will make a how-to video of how I create these videos.
Did you take any BREAKS? For bathroom, food or ANYTHING else?
Yes--of course.
Are these trips for business/work or vacation/pleasure?
Mostly pleasure, but this trip coincided with a business trip I made to Seattle early that week. I just decided to take the opportunity to drive back to Virginia instead of flying instead. I have another business trip coming up for which I'm doing the same thing.
9:03:57 - Bozeman not Bozoman😉
Correct. I try to watch through my finished videos before uploads to try to catch mistakes, but there are always a few that I miss.
Big Timber in the middle of the night...
yaaaaayyyyyy
I must have had my smellivision on my iPad, once you were out of the Seattle city limits the smell of pee went away
Haha. I can tell you that I did a lot of walking around in the downtown Seattle while I was there the rest of the week before doing this trip, and I smelled pee a lot. I frequently saw tents on sidewalks and in parks, despite being cold and rainy the whole week. The morning of this trip was the mildest it had been all week.
Do you know if you have ever caught something outrageous on your dashcam, like a car accident or a fist fight or a car driving off the road?
I've seen some bad accidents, but they happened before I got there. I did get some close calls, and witnessed someone getting pulled over for speeding. Otherwise, just usually shenanigans from different drivers, such as making a right turn from the left lane, etc. I've considered doing a compilation video of all of the incidents that I've witnessed in all of my driving.
what kind of car do you drive?
I drove a 2021 Chrysler Voyager that I rented from Seattle and dropped off at Dulles Airport at the end of this trip.
i’ve done this drive 20 times now
It's a nice drive.
Thanks 🙏 lot
Thanks too much
I will share and like 👍 too much
Thanks!!!
What camera do you use?
The Garmin Virb Ultra 30.
who rawdoggin this?
Segestion LA to Maine
Maybe one day.
good
I like this kind of video a lot.and I Want to record my trip as well. May I have the brand name of your carrecorder which could record map trace and speed in real time. I am a chinese and i wish to upload some roadtrip scenery of china.
Thanks. I’ve been using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 with a 512 GB micro SD card. I create my own graphic overlays, and I do the editing with Final Cut Pro.
@@unclecoolie thx a lot.
still Nissan SUV?
No--this was done in a 2021 Chrysler Voyager.
hello i see all wait to next
I'll be uploading the next part in the next couple of weeks.
if your car tire is punctured by a nail... you will cry
christmas story's place Holand MT
Wasn't that movie filmed in Cleveland and Ontario?
@@unclecoolie It was. The house is in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood, specifically
@@willdowns1745 I was within 10 miles of that house during this drive. But since it was dark, and I was pressed to get back home by the following Monday afternoon, I had to skip seeing it. I'll make another trip to the area to see it eventually, though.
@@unclecoolie They’ll probably start doing tours to the public again soon. My grandparents did the tour some years ago and the actor who played Scott Farkus was the tour guide
@@willdowns1745 Awesome! Did he really have yellow eyes? 😆
Im love a street
Fun fact: elevation peaked at 5058 feet
Actually, it's Homestake Pass, 6,329 feet (at 8:09:05 in the video). The GPS is reading the elevation a little low, but that was the highest point and continental divide of this whole trip, even to Washington, DC.
Dream
Seattle..the King of Microsoft 😍 but terrible climate for a South Indian like me 😑
King of Amazon, too, as half of the buildings where I stayed were Amazon's. I agree that the weather there is lousy. I remember reading that suicides are highest in the Seattle area than anywhere else in the U.S., and likely that's due to the seemingly endless overcast and rainy weather.
Worm or snake
Definitely a snake.
Why in the heck would you do this?
Because I enjoy it.
More real time videos
Day 2 will be uploaded late next week.
It’s not safe to hog the middle lane.
I tend to stay away from the rightmost lane when there are 3 or more lanes in areas that I don't know well, because too often the rightmost lane ends as an exit only.
@@unclecoolie okay that’s interesting, thanks for the reply.
Billings Montana? Montana is great! The former seattle? Get a BIG DOZER! Let them dozer it first before walking on the ground. Yeah TEAM INSLEE!
I had to skip the last 2,5 hrs of this ngl
The biggest problem with January road trips, especially in northern states, is the short daylight.
He’s here with the goods. Time from a ride through the rockies!
