The song while you drive through Sheridan is perfect for the small town feeling and just makes me want to visit the place. As usual, you know how to pick the right music. Road trip through Montana and Wyoming is now on my bucket list after watching your videos.
Freewayjim: The existing interchange got replaced with a new one which should be completed in late fall of 2019 since the old one was aging and had safety issues
Charming & relaxing town......Brand new Hospital with all the latest for all those that are in retirement age bracket......"No Drive By Shootings Here" (lol)........If you want to go shopping in a bigger City Billings MT. is not to Far away for a Weekend Trip.....Bob Fox,
Hi Jim, Neat video and enjoying the nice music too..Sheridan looks like a nice charming city to live in.Thanks for the ride Jim looking forward to hopping aboard for some cool rides. 🚗
I love the second half of this video. It's almost therapeutic. Makes me want to pull over and have a picnic under one of those trees in the field. Just by myself, with no one else around.
Nicely done video . Thanks for sharing . I live in Sheridan and it's a nice town . And yes , in bad weather they close the interstate . It doesn't happen to often , but it does happen . You should have gotten off on the Ranchester exit and taken RT14 over the Bighorn Mountains , you missed some beautiful scenery .
Thank you, I enjoyed the short time I spent in Sheridan. We were on our way to Seattle so I really did not have time for excursions but I'm sure what you mentioned is a beatiful drive.
Wish I was a young man again and N.W. America would be my home. Some of my Irish ancestors settled in those parts in the mid eighteen hundreds, we have lost all communication with them a long time ago, sad. I still have a gold Waltham pocket watch they sent back to Ireland more than a hundred years ago, still keeps good time , only wish it could talk, Cheers.
I lived in Sheridan from 83-98 and have missed it ever since the only place I'd ever call HOME I miss everything about Wyoming. Went to Coffeen elementary, Central middle school then moved to Ranchester and went to Tongue river When miss Belish was principal. Those were the days One day I'll find my way HOME.
Good looking feed for cattle, horses and wild critters. The furthest north I've ever been in Eastern Wyoming is Buffalo. I obviously should have kept going. Thank you for sharing!
Freewayjim, I'm so obsessed with this video of yours. The music goes very well with the scenery. The slow pace of "Forty Mile Town" goes well with drive through downtown Sheridan. The fast-paced song "Carefree Highway" by Gordon Lightfoot really hits the spot on the wide open drive on Interstate 90 with the mountains in the distance.
Carefree highway. An excellent song that you can play on any video with wide open spaces. Wonderful, wonderful job. For 17,000 people, Sheridan, WY sure has a lot of businesses.
There's been a lot of changes to the North end of Sheridan since this was posted. They've made a completely new Interstate exit, complete with a brand-new truck stop/liquor store. Kmart was closed and replaced with EMIT Technologies, which manufactures machines for natural gas extraction if I'm not mistaken. There are a couple new factories in addition to that, including Weatherby, a hunting firearms manufacturer, which held a grand opening just yesterday. It's possible the city will see a lot of growth in the future. Few places I'd recommend stopping by in the area downtown: P.O. News/Flagstaff Cafe - Great cafe that makes great breakfast, burgers, and espresso. Red Bison Studio - Handmade pottery and pottery classes. I love handmade mugs, so you can pick up a souvenir. Brian's Boot and Shoe Co - Shoe store that has a huge selection of cowboy boots, if that's your fancy. Puzzle's Game & Hobby - Quaint little traditional games store right next to Brain's. Sells D&D, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine & Hordes, and other such games.
Very nice ride through Wyoming, Sheridan looks like an interesting town- and a good set of songs to go with it too- always good to see the states I have never seen much of before... and learn about the freeways, the country!
This is a very charming town ...... and relaxing indeed ..... we were here to visit this town in Sept . 2018 - B4 we went to see Devil's Tower , and then through South Dakota .... Lots to see and do there to . It was the best road trip going back home ..... ran into some big heavy duty big storms in Iowa/Nebraska ,and Illinois
Thanks FWJ for allowing me to travel to places I never would have been able to go. Thanks to you videos I have elected a favorite State. WYOMING. I love the high hills and low trees allowing me to see far ahead and dream of what could be over the next hill. Thanks.
What a beautiful scenery....So much space! I live in the SF Bay Area and it is pretty crowded here. Love the music! I had not heard "Carefree Highway" in years
Great video, Jim! Loving Wyoming, and absolutely loved the music choices for this video. I too wonder what it's like to live out there. Looking forward to the rest of the season
You are right, winter storms can be brutal. The problem isn't the snow, but the wind. Did you notice the lack of trees? The wind can turn a light snowfall into a deadly snowstorm. In fact, the National Weather Service definition of blizzard doesn't include a set amount of snow, but does have a wind component of 35 mph.
Wyoming is a lot greener than I had expected. For some reason I just thought it would be endless, brown and flat. It's pretty. Also so a STi and a Pontiac Grand Prix so that was my car fix for a few minutes. Nice video as always.
Earl Butz it cannot be half as bad as I-80 across Nevada and western Utah or I-5 across that ugly as sin, flat as a billiard table San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield California.
Awesome video as always Jim! It must be beautiful out west hope I can make it there someday. I'm especially looking forward to your Arizona video. From the pics you posted that must've been a fun drive.
Four years ago, my brother in law and I took a trip to Beartooth Pass. We had planned this as a motorcycle trip but time constraints and his cancer issues changed it into a car trip. We planned to return when I retired, which was last week. Unfortunately, John succumbed to his Agent Orange cancers November 12, 2020. All gave some, some gave all. He was laid to rest in the Beartooth Pass shirt that I bought for him in the gift shop on the Wyoming side of the pass. The T-shirts and Coffee Cups Tour 2017 will live on...
Really enjoyable to see Sheridan in all of it's glory, Jim. We just blasted right past it last month (although I did film our ride through Deadwood, SD earlier that day). Every Highway (is red)... heh heh
We have gates like that all over the place, normally at a highway entrance near the closest town (so you can wait out a storm in town). Headingley's got one, Moose Jaw, Swift Current. You'll see them all along the #1 TCH.
I love the Wyoming videos, keep them coming! As for the road gates... we have those here in Iowa on I-35, beginning at Exit 111B (US-30 West) at Ames and continuing north. We can have blizzards here with whiteout conditions because that section of I-35 is really flat and open. I believe there are some gates along I-29 in Western Iowa as well. Not uncommon.
Freewayjim...like a dummy....i just now put it together....this is your works. Freaking great. I continue to watch and rewatch. Love this, and the Gordon Lightfoot really topped it off. This vedio is a solid support of my venture to Sheridan. March, 2018. spring...going. Me and my pal Razz, (dog), cant wait. thank you so very much.
Traffic around where I live at 8 in the morning is a complete headache. It is nice to see that there are places in this country that are not crammed full of cars during daylight hours.
Cool video. I have always loved Wyoming. It's one of my favorite states. I could never live there because El Paso has a higher population than Wyoming, but it's a great summer spot!! I love the west.
@Dave G (Can't reply to your comment) Thank you! I-90 is a little more rugged in Montana, you'll see that in the next video when we cross the Continental Divide but it's nothing like I-70 in Colorado, so your impression is pretty accurate.
Thank you!, but I'm using a camcorder on a tripod, not a dashcam which involved a somewhat detailed setup, some days I wish it were as easy as a dashcam :)
A very nice Spring time ride in Wyoming. It was odd to see an interstate business route assigned along a city surface street but a pretty little town none the less. Enjoying your series as always even if I'm not catching them on the release dates
That's fairly common in Colorado and Wyoming. Denver's Colfax Avenue is signed as Business Loop I-70 for its entire length. It is usually used to mark the route from the highway to downtown.
Suggestion, FWJ: Go west from Sheridan over the Bighorns to CODY. You'll cross a beautiful mountain range and then enter a northern desert that you'll want to forget. Then keep going west from Cody towards the eastern entrance to Yellowstone. AS SOON as you get to the west side of cody, prepare to be AMAZED for the next several hours to Yellowstone.
Nice video as usual! I find the signage interesting in Wyoming. There's quite a bit of Clearview that I didn''t expect (most notable in the Cheyenne footage I've seen), and then there's outdated looking/ALL CAPS (such as at 3:45) which I'd expect morel out on the old frontier.
I've actually been to sheridan a lot, and have stayed there. its a nice city, the people are pretty nice and easy going, its nice to go outside and walk to stores, even during the rodeo, you can meet some cool people. winters can be very rough, i went to the bighorns in july one year and it was still closed and buried under 4 feet of snow. but yes sheridan is a nice little town, I've got a postcard taken at the same spot as your thumbnail.
Excellent work, Jim. Your travels have inspired me to plan a few trips to parts of the country I haven't yet seen. You may have answered this question, but what has been your favorite trip?
Thank you Gary! Traveling the country is a wonderful thing! That's a great and tough question....I'd probably go with the 2013 Trip only because it was my first time going west which opened up a whole new world to me.
I saw mention made of those crossing gates, and I can confirm from first hand experience that Wyoming gets some tough winter weather (which I should mention also drags into the Spring where you can occasionally get some monumental snow storms). The crazy thing is you really don't need all that much snow to make things scary. In addition to the snow, Wyoming can be really windy, and it creates blowing snow conditions that can make driving those roads a white-knuckle experience. Last I went through, I couldn't see the lane markers and was literally using the those reflector posts on the side of the freeway to judge where the road was.
Here is an explanation for the red pavement. www.thedenverchannel.com/traffic/driving-you-crazy/driving-you-crazy-does-the-red-pavement-on-wyoming-highways-make-the-road-safer. Short answer: They used lava rock in the pavement.
Beautiful scenery and a beautiful cityscape in Sheridan. A population of 17,500 makes Sheridan look like a big major city by Wyoming standards. I-90 through Wyoming seems a lot more spectacular than that ungodly I-80.
...and you're right. It's common about 5-10 times a year (in Colorado) to have the Highways/Interstates to be closed due to inclement weather. With Northern Wyoming, it's likely much more common than what we have on I-25, I-70, & I-76 out in Colorado.
TheSolarcatcher it is great to see Central Business Districts getting renovated and revitalized rather than encouraging more hideous suburban sprawl of lookalike single family houses, strip plazas, enclosed shopping malls, pawnshops, fast food joints, billboards, and overhead power lines. Suburbia is the cancerous ruination of America.
Bueno, primero felicitarte por los espectaculares video, la muy buena presentación, lo bien editado que estan los videos, segundo felicitar por el hermoso pais que tienes, todos sus lugares, me e suscripto a tu canal porque me gustan todos tus video....daria cualquier cosa por visitar e ir a vivir a EE.UU..me encanta ese pais, prro me es imposible...nuevamente felicitaciones..me gustaria que leas este comentario..desde ya un gran saludo y un gran abrazo desde..BUENOS AIRES.ARGENTINA
Cool video & scenery, btw are you planning in the future to do I-80, thru Wyo? I assume that must be pretty scenic as well, it reaches the highest interstate elevation outside Colorado
Hi Freewayjim, I had commented on your New York City: FDR dusk to dark video 2-3 years ago, I just want to ask do you planning to do anymore NYC in near future? Nice video btw! :D
Freewayjim: That interchange exit you drove through is being replaced by a new interchange due to safety issues! WYDOT Is building a new ramp to replace the existing Main Street exit!
Who in their right wants to go to horrendously overrated, overpriced, overbuilt, polluted New York City anyways. I wish that we could cut that damn abnormally sized city out of my home State of New York.
You have been going through a lot of great towns so far in season 16. I think that the next city with over 100K people you'll go to is Billings, Montana. Afterwards, there are smaller cities in Montana like Bozeman and Missoula. Maybe you can get to bigger cities like Spokane, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

Thank you! I hope you get there and I doubt you'll be dissapointed.
Living in Sheridan is awesome. In the winter not so much. Thank you for showing some of the beauty of our town...
Thank you, I enjoyed my very short stay there, it looks like a nice place to be.
4:23 Deep blue sky with scattered clouds, rolling hills, and open highway. Perfect.
Indeed, thanks

I lived in Sheridan for 4 yrs back then in the 80s. Went to Coffeen Elementary. Looks way bigger. Love the video!
Thank you for watching!
very beautiful, hopefully one day I'll be riding on the highway in the US just like this
That grass was good and green...and the scenery is very nice.
Indeed, thanks for watching!
Loves it! I was there in Wyoming/Montana border not too long ago. Nice open space and sparsely populated, unlike here in Cali.
Thank you
Yo0T0oB totally unlike both Connecticut and New Jersey which are nothing but old cities and aging suburbs tightly packed together.
This video and the trip through Lake Tahoe are my favorites. The weather seemed perfect on both trips and the music chosen made it that much better
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim, Neat video and enjoying the nice music too..Sheridan looks like a nice charming city to live in.Thanks for the ride Jim looking forward to hopping aboard for some cool rides. 🚗
Thanks Gary, I thought Sheridan was a pretty charming place too, thanks for riding along.
Thrilled to hear Eric Johnson’s Forty Mile Town. Your video content and music choices are always excellent.
Much appreciated, thank you!
I love the second half of this video. It's almost therapeutic. Makes me want to pull over and have a picnic under one of those trees in the field. Just by myself, with no one else around.

Thanks and I agree on all counts.
Sheridan is the big city for that part of Wyoming so most of the people in that part of the state depend on it for virtually everything.
There's been a lot of changes to the North end of Sheridan since this was posted. They've made a completely new Interstate exit, complete with a brand-new truck stop/liquor store. Kmart was closed and replaced with EMIT Technologies, which manufactures machines for natural gas extraction if I'm not mistaken. There are a couple new factories in addition to that, including Weatherby, a hunting firearms manufacturer, which held a grand opening just yesterday. It's possible the city will see a lot of growth in the future.
Few places I'd recommend stopping by in the area downtown:
P.O. News/Flagstaff Cafe - Great cafe that makes great breakfast, burgers, and espresso.
Red Bison Studio - Handmade pottery and pottery classes. I love handmade mugs, so you can pick up a souvenir.
Brian's Boot and Shoe Co - Shoe store that has a huge selection of cowboy boots, if that's your fancy.

Thanks, yes it did look like a nice little town.
Nice ride! I particularly like the reddish purple asphalt and the slate blue concrete on the bridges.
Thanks, yeah that is kind of neat.
Thank you, I'm from England and I watch your videos to see beautiful places like this.
Thank you for watching Martin!
This is a very charming town ...... and relaxing indeed ..... we were here to visit this town in Sept . 2018 - B4 we went to see Devil's Tower , and then through South Dakota ....

I love these videos, Jim. :) The video and music always go so well together!!!
What a beautiful scenery....So much space! I live in the SF Bay Area and it is pretty crowded here. Love the music! I had not heard "Carefree Highway" in years
Thank you very much!
Love Eric Johnson! Saw him open for Rush in 1991. Another great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
It´s great to see these city timelapses with all these highway timelapses.
Great video, Jim! Loving Wyoming, and absolutely loved the music choices for this video. I too wonder what it's like to live out there. Looking forward to the rest of the season
Thank you very much!
Great video as always! Thanks mate!
Also very good music.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jim, another great video!!! I enjoyed seeing Wyoming!!!!
Thank you! I enjoyed riving through it :)
You are right, winter storms can be brutal. The problem isn't the snow, but the wind. Did you notice the lack of trees? The wind can turn a light snowfall into a deadly snowstorm. In fact, the National Weather Service definition of blizzard doesn't include a set amount of snow, but does have a wind component of 35 mph.
Yes indeed, I've heard the wind can be quite an issue out there, whiteouts and such.
I Love blizzards I usually get the Oreo cookie blizzard!!!
God that they love, doesn't appreciate them
@@adameverett1000 I'm partial to the Reese's myself.
Wyoming is a lot greener than I had expected. For some reason I just thought it would be endless, brown and flat. It's pretty. Also so a STi and a Pontiac Grand Prix so that was my car fix for a few minutes. Nice video as always.
The scenery/colors change every hours drive or so. It's an amazing place.
I-25 from Cheyenne to Casper is pretty awful. I think it's the ugliest scenery in the entire U.S.
Some of it is. Some of its not
Earl Butz it cannot be half as bad as I-80 across Nevada and western Utah or I-5 across that ugly as sin, flat as a billiard table San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield California.
Just began following some of your videos today. I really enjoy your style.
Thank you very much, welcome aboard!
Love the memories I have had taking this same drive !!
Awesome video as always Jim! It must be beautiful out west hope I can make it there someday. I'm especially looking forward to your Arizona video. From the pics you posted that must've been a fun drive.
The west is just amazing to drive through, hope you get there and the AZ videos will be coming in late January.
Great drive and great selection of music
Thank you!
As a native of Sheridan I certainly enjoyed this.
Much appreciated, thank you!

So green, beautiful Wyoming
Really enjoyable to see Sheridan in all of it's glory, Jim. We just blasted right past it last month (although I did film our ride through Deadwood, SD earlier that day). Every Highway (is red)... heh heh
Thank you! It's interesting how we shot different things going through the same general areas, the beauty of our hobby :)
We have gates like that all over the place, normally at a highway entrance near the closest town (so you can wait out a storm in town). Headingley's got one, Moose Jaw, Swift Current. You'll see them all along the #1 TCH.
Nice highway (I-90). My family might go to Wyoming to visit my grandma one day, and we will be on I-90 most of the time. Great video.
Thank you!
Will be visiting Sheridan, WY. next week. Can't wait 👍
I love the Wyoming videos, keep them coming! As for the road gates... we have those here in Iowa on I-35, beginning at Exit 111B (US-30 West) at Ames and continuing north.

Carefree highways indeed,great song for that stretch of road
Thanks!
Your videos are absolutely superb, Sir. :-)
Much appreciated, thank you!

Tahoe2002Md that is because of that cancerous ruination of America known as suburbia.
Wyoming is one beautiful and wonderful place I visited there in 2001 and tol this day 20 years later I still say I left part of my heart out there
Another great one from the best!!!
Thanks Nash, glad you liked it!
+Freewayjim You're welcome!!! I enjoyed it very much!
Cool video. I have always loved Wyoming. It's one of my favorite states. I could never live there because El Paso has a higher population than Wyoming, but it's a great summer spot!! I love the west.
Thanks
Zachary Watson El Paso also has a larger population than the State of Vermont but that doesnt mean that both Vermont and Wyoming arent livable.
Charming.😀 It has an old town feel to it. Except,of course,the dozen fast food joints.lol. High quality video as usual.😉
Thank you, yes it does have a charm to it.
@Dave G (Can't reply to your comment) Thank you! I-90 is a little more rugged in Montana, you'll see that in the next video when we cross the Continental Divide but it's nothing like I-70 in Colorado, so your impression is pretty accurate.

Thank you!, but I'm using a camcorder on a tripod, not a dashcam which involved a somewhat detailed setup, some days I wish it were as easy as a dashcam :)
Red pavement, that's unique!

A very nice Spring time ride in Wyoming. It was odd to see an interstate business route assigned along a city surface street but a pretty little town none the less. Enjoying your series as always even if I'm not catching them on the release dates
Thank you!

Sheridan looks how I remember it from many years ago. Nice town with a lot of charm, as you noted.
A lot has changed here, but it's still pretty nice. Still very clean, the people are still friendly.
Sheridan seems like a nice quiet self contained place to live. No morning rush hour there. July might be tough, relatively speaking.
i stayed in sheridan for some days in 1989 - loved it!
I've actually been to sheridan a lot, and have stayed there. its a nice city, the people are pretty nice and easy going, its nice to go outside and walk to stores, even during the rodeo, you can meet some cool people. winters can be very rough, i went to the bighorns in july one year and it was still closed and buried under 4 feet of snow. but yes sheridan is a nice little town, I've got a postcard taken at the same spot as your thumbnail.

Freewayjim....thank you kind sir....i truly appreciate such response...loneliness and unsurity are ever present. Be safe brother.
one of my fave songs of Eric Johnsons! he is an amazing guitarist!
One of mine too!
Note: Gordon lightfoot wrote the lyrics carefree hwy passing thru Arizona (outside of phoenix)
Did not know that, thanks.
As a Canadian I love how you put in Gordon Lightfoot!
Thank you, I love that song in particular.
Was on this road June 7, 2016 heading over Big Horn Mountains to wild mustang reserve.
Looking forward to more!
Thanks, got some good stuff coming!
always nice video,good luck
Thank you!
nice music nice looking town :)
Thanks
I loved Sheridan, ironically we were on our way to Billings for a rodeo when we visited the town.
I saw my garage around 1:40. I hated this town when I was a teenager, but I love it now.
You're the best bro!
Thank you very much!
Excellent work, Jim. Your travels have inspired me to plan a few trips to parts of the country I haven't yet seen. You may have answered this question, but what has been your favorite trip?
Thank you Gary! Traveling the country is a wonderful thing! That's a great and tough question....I'd probably go with the 2013 Trip only because it was my first time going west which opened up a whole new world to me.
A great traveling song. Lightfoot is North America's premiere songwriter-troubadour.
Looking forward to the Montana stretch.
Thanks, got two videos coming...had trouble keeping the windshield clean through there.
I saw mention made of those crossing gates, and I can confirm from first hand experience that Wyoming gets some tough winter weather (which I should mention also drags into the Spring where you can occasionally get some monumental snow storms). The crazy thing is you really don't need all that much snow to make things scary. In addition to the snow, Wyoming can be really windy, and it creates blowing snow conditions that can make driving those roads a white-knuckle experience. Last I went through, I couldn't see the lane markers and was literally using the those reflector posts on the side of the freeway to judge where the road was.
As an added bit of trivia, Colorado has those same kind of crossing gates along I-70
Interesting stuff! yes I've seen those on I-70 as well...in the southeast, some Interstates have the gates for Hurricane contraflow.
I used to live in Sheridan in 2005-06.
I enjoyed my stay in Sheridan in 2013. A nice town indeed! Also I really love the sexy red asphalt. Very cool!
It seemed very old and bumpy, could use some resurfacing. But by golly, it's such a beautiful country, I could really fall in love with the landscape.
Here is an explanation for the red pavement. www.thedenverchannel.com/traffic/driving-you-crazy/driving-you-crazy-does-the-red-pavement-on-wyoming-highways-make-the-road-safer. Short answer: They used lava rock in the pavement.
InterstateKyle I have been told that the red asphalt lasts longer and holds up better to fierce freeze thaw cycles. Is that true?
The my buddy's place, drew making homemade food for us everyday and helping everyone that needed it. Drew the manager of "my buddy's place "
Beautiful scenery and a beautiful cityscape in Sheridan. A population of 17,500 makes Sheridan look like a big major city by Wyoming standards. I-90 through Wyoming seems a lot more spectacular than that ungodly I-80.
Carefree highway is lovely for this -
Thank you!
What is the place do you plan to get to by the end of season 16? Seattle? Portland, Oregon?
The end of the season will be in Dallas, but the season final video is someplace before that.
...and you're right. It's common about 5-10 times a year (in Colorado) to have the Highways/Interstates to be closed due to inclement weather. With Northern Wyoming, it's likely much more common than what we have on I-25, I-70, & I-76 out in Colorado.
Great video. Sometimes the best roads are off the road. The downtown was a bit unexpected. Looks redone.
Thank you, could not tell if downtown was redone or not but it sure was nice!
+Freewayjim I just saw the new stoplights there compared to the wired stuff on the outskirts.
Huh, did not even notice that.
TheSolarcatcher it is great to see Central Business Districts getting renovated and revitalized rather than encouraging more hideous suburban sprawl of lookalike single family houses, strip plazas, enclosed shopping malls, pawnshops, fast food joints, billboards, and overhead power lines. Suburbia is the cancerous ruination of America.
Lived in Sheridan for 18 years born and raised there... It's a great place to raise kids and retire other then that not much to do.
wow lots of stores for a city of 17500. Looks nice. How's the winter?
Steve F cold but OK!!
I won't lie, winter is pretty harsh here, but you can get through it if you don't mind shoveling your walk every day.

Nice country road trip song! 👍🏻
Good loves, people will care for us. My buddy's place the manager will always listen
Cool video & scenery, btw are you planning in the future to do I-80, thru Wyo? I assume that must be pretty scenic as well, it reaches the highest interstate elevation outside Colorado
Thanks, I have not driven I-80 in Wyoming, maybe some day.
good tunes good moves.
Thank you!
Hi Freewayjim, I had commented on your New York City: FDR dusk to dark video 2-3 years ago, I just want to ask do you planning to do anymore NYC in near future? Nice video btw! :D
Thank you, no I don't have any plans to go back that way anytime soon but you never know.
+Freewayjim Thanks
Freewayjim: That interchange exit you drove through is being replaced by a new interchange due to safety issues! WYDOT Is building a new ramp to replace the existing Main Street exit!
Who in their right wants to go to horrendously overrated, overpriced, overbuilt, polluted New York City anyways. I wish that we could cut that damn abnormally sized city out of my home State of New York.
Nice drive here. I know its a big pain to drive thru a snowstorm there. I rather be home in bed.
love that song carefree highway gordon lightfoot,kudos
Thank you!
You have a great Camcorder than! have you ever travel through neighborhoods in Chicago IL.Thanks!
Thanks, I filmed Lake Shore Drive in 2011, that's about as close as I'd got to doing that.
You have been going through a lot of great towns so far in season 16. I think that the next city with over 100K people you'll go to is Billings, Montana. Afterwards, there are smaller cities in Montana like Bozeman and Missoula. Maybe you can get to bigger cities like Spokane, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.
Yes, we got Spokane and Seattle....and Portland and more.
