This used to be a travel vlog channel that specialized in road trip drive lapse time lapse HD videos. I pretty much just had drivelapse videos. Now I'm thinking of adding new stuff. Here's the old description:
We have content from around the world, but mostly from Canada and the US. Our videos feature stunning scenery. Don't believe me, watch them all and find out.
Our videos allow curious minds to see large tracts of the country in a short amount of time. Don't have time to drive Vancouver to Edmonton, but want to check it out? Watch the video, the 12-hour drive is sped up to 1200% so you can see it all in just under an hour. Or check out our shorter videos. We make our drive lapse videos in all seasons, terrain, and weather.
Another way to enjoy our content is to put it on the big screen while entertaining guests, and create a unique ambience to facilitate conversation.
Years ago, a few friends got together and drove from Salt Lake to Calgary, then on to Edmonton. We spent a fun week there before heading west to Jasper, Lake Louise, & Banff. I was complete blown away by the beauty. Penticton lakes had the bluest water, and 100 miles east of Vancouver we saw a sign that read; "Breathe mountain air at sea level." Every turn in the road brought more beauty. Vancouver was great, Seattle was Seattle, and we headed southeast to Boise & back to Utah. I have great memories of that trip. I still remember chesterfields and serviettes too!
It's crazy how Washington State goes from a mountainous forest to desert hills very quickly. You should read Kurt Schlichter's novel Inferno (7th book in the Kelly Turnbull series) sometime. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Washington State and he talks all about its odd geography.
I am so excited and so hopeful I'll be doing this same trip this summer with my boys. May I ask what size video card you used for your dash camera? Seems you have hours of footage
I'd love to move there, I've lived here in BC, Atlanta, Richmond VA, Cincinnati and now back to BC, I do love Oregon but Salt Spring is a nice place to retire and none of that nasty wind.
As a Google certified international sigh decoder, i can tell with 100% certainty that the person behind the camera on Pender Island sounds like the most beautiful, intelligent, and humble human on Earth.
Great vid helped me decide to do this exact trip, went great , very smooth and yep 12 hours on the dot ,stopped for gas and bathroom breaks the same 3 places you did, thanks a lot !!
Lol, I was visiting my family in Angarsk. I thought it would be interesting to film it. / Я не говорю по-русски. / Лол, я был в гостях у своей семьи в Ангарске. Я подумал, что будет интересно снять это.
It's about one hour longer to go through Calgary. So if you take the TransCanada Highway from Vancouver to Calgary, then head north on Highway 2 to Edmonton, it will take 13 hours.
You haven't driven in BC have you? For one that included an hour or so ferry and the rest of it is tight twisty roads. It's not the coq you can't do 120km/h.
It is too bad that you are filming at such a high speed that even someone who was born and raised here has a hard time telling where you are at in the filming at times. It really does not show people our island.
Ha ha! The text on this video read "Approaching Seattle from the I-5 South." Obviously, not from around Seattle. No one who is from here or who has lived here for more than five years calls I-5 anything else but I-5. Same goes for Puget Sound. I laughed when I heard some tourist say, "Oh, the Puget Sound is so pretty!" It is beautiful but just say Puget Sound if you're in Seattle or up in Snohomish County. In Tacoma, it's called South Puget Sound.
My family members who were born and raised here often say I5 north or I5 south. It’s literally how to specify which way you’re going and is easier than saying “towards fed” or “towards lynnwood”
nice, missed jasper though. A version with places to stop/view might be nice as well (helps people travelling with dogs). I've done it about 15-20 times and it never amazes me how beautiful the Rockies are
Thank you for this video! I’m planning to do the same trip from LA to Seattle in two weeks. Hoping there are no snow storms.. any advice you could give? How were the Grants Pass and Siskiyou Summit parts of the road in your experience? Thank you!
Selcuk Basturk When we were there in mid-November, 2018, there was no snow at all over Grants Pass. There is probably snow now. It’d be a good idea to have winter tires, and to check the highway cams online the day you leave. Normally, driving on an interstate highway is not too bad in the snow. The road is nice and wide, the turns are gradual, the snow has usually melted under the traffic, and there aren’t many hazards, just other cars. Just remember, speed limits are speed maximums, not minimums. Take it slow and you’ll be fine. Don’t need 4 wheel drive, but front wheel drive is nice.
Here is a very good joke for you. Whenever you are in that part of Alberta. Where is the worst place to have a flat tire? In No Jack. If you look really closely on the road map. No Jack really does exist. It is on a section of the old highway there. It is so small. If you blink. you miss it.
Hello, we are thinking to do this trip..had a quick question...1..what time in November was this trip taken? 2. what time in morning did you start on both days...thanks!
We did this drive on November 10th and 11th. We try to start as early as possible. On the first day we must have hit the road at about 6:30, but wouldn't have gotten across the boarder until about 8am. The next day I think we left around 8-9am. Roseburg Oregon is a nice halfway point. As long as you're not driving through a snowstorm, the road is pretty accessible year round. On the way back we took the 97 from Weed, California to Bend, Oregon, and to the Dalles, then over to Portland. That was much nicer. (Haven't uploaded that video yet). The I-5 through California is not the most scenic highway. Also remember the border is closed right now.
