Yes, I have about 7-8 videos coming between Denver and Salt lake City. Really there is nothing worth filming outside the cities before you get to Denver, I don't film for the sake of filming, the road has to have some kind of redeeming quality to it.
I remember one time when my family and I were traveling to Cincinnati(back when I lived in Conn) and on I-80 in Pennsylvania traffic was "paralyzed" for a couple hours maybe more. I'll never forget that. 6:20
Here's a quick video idea next time you're in the area: Approach from the north around Thornton or so, on 25 south, make a loop around downtown on East 270, a short jaunt down 70 east bound, then drop down 225, and come back up north again on 25. Makes for a very visually interesting video/experience. I drove that exact route this weekend. Love them freeways up in Denver!
why can I nit accept the fact that the mousetrap isn't so I'm preside but I still love it... I just love the long ramps I guess... and the way that it's like from the bottom levels.. maybe idk... maybe the history.. idk why I think of it as an awesome interchange when it's not supposed to be.. I've had trouble with this lately that I don't know what it is..
Great video as always Jim! I was wondering where you get the images of the old 1960's maps you put at the beginning of your videos. Are these maps you own? or is there a website you get them from? I love looking at old maps. Also, will you be making any videos from footage of the Salt Lake City area?
YAY!!! You finally got to Denver! Love your videos no matter where they're filmed! I created a video response of the skyline during the day. Hope you like!
It's an informal name, not being from the area I don't know how or why it was chosen. My guess is because of the quirky nature of the original interchange along with it being tough to navigate at that time. I really did not want to waste two text boxes explaining that to be honest.
i hate the on ramp to 70 westbound from vasquez , almost got nailed by a 18 wheeler last night that decided to get in the slow lane right as i am merging onto 70.....thank good ness i have great brakes on my truck.
I filmed CT-8 and Glenwood Canyon coming up so curves don't bother me at all, in fact they make for good video. The Parkway just doesn't do anything for me and I-95 in CT is just horrible.
