That was interesting, I wonder what the virtual speed was? Easy enough to figure out I guess, if I get bored enough.

I have seldom driven that section of road, but I have to do some survey work near Pyramid Lake, when I get to it, so, at least getting a picture of the terrain was good.

Generally I like these kinds of videos but thought this one was a bit boring especially since I have been on that stretch of Interstate 5 many times. I think it would have been more interesting if there was snow on the ground at the top of the pass. The music was a big zero, too.

Spring or winter time would have been more scenic.

Thank you for these, you share my love for driving around on freeways. The PCH one made me feel sick though, haha. So curvy... So fast...

I calced the virtual speed at 750mph. With my math skills I might even be right. 10 minute flick, 75 miles of road.

That road, should be 5 lanes in each direction, when you have the trucks in the far right two lanes, going 20 to 30 mph, on a 65 mph on a 4 lane freeway, that makes for some dangerous stuff.....
