      Lexi probably needs a nap im from Fresno where the taco throwdown takes place. so the poor gentleman was diabetic, didnt eat ALL day and during the preliminary rounds of the contest he got a heart attack, choked, and died. The contest has been going on for 9 years and always includes every taco truck in town and they compete for the title of best taco truck in the central valley of california! Super cool event but it just wont have the contest anymore.

    He travels southeast to Texas every few years to feed on Steak and TexMex, and then after he has eaten his fill, he will return to Washington State to feed his young and take over raising the young Ians from his mate, who will then make the same journey to Texas.

    Those editing jobs after 19:16 where the scenery gets overlaid onto the other scenes of it were super slick!

    As someone who is too poor to travel, I really appreciated seeing all of this scenery from Texas flatlands to midwest mountain ranges. It was all really beautiful and I'm very thankful that you recorded it. It made me feel like I was riding alongside you on your way to Washington.

    I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. My wife and I love to take random road trips to the small towns that you see more toward the west. And yes, the wind farms are awesome. Every time we vacation in Colorado we also stop at the Big Texan just for the fun. Once upon a time they also had the world's longest diamond back rattlesnake in the gift center.

    I like checking back into this video every couple of months, I don't really know why, but it's semi-calming to watch a big move which is usually kind of stressful to go through yourself.

    The whole aesthetic of your channel has been my absolute favorite for years now. To now have a video from you that specifically caters to my roadtrip and hotel room aesthetic is more than I could ask for. Always amazing work from you Ian. A wonderful video to chill with after a stressful weekend of work.

    Considering how used to am seeing 'Evergreen' terrain like 99% of the time around here, it's surreal to see mostly flat plains/deserts and so on throughout your road trip.
