Gee! Can you imagine driving this stretch back in the days of 55 mph/89 kph For those younger folks out there: The gasoline shortages in the Fall of 1973 forced federal legislation to be enacted to lower the speed limits to 55 mph, as a means to conserve fuel, in 1974. Although the law was flagrantly disregarded by many motorists, it was the law of the land. .. and law enforcement found it a good source of revenue with citing speeders.
From 1987 to the 1990s, the 55 mph law was being relaxed on a state-by-state basis. By 1995, a federal transportation act relegated the setting of speed limits to the individual states.

I drove the route from St. Louis to Denver in 1994, but took two or three days (I can't remember exactly) to do it. It is interesting. You think to drive through an endless flat, always straight ahead. But what you can see in the video thanks to the altimeter is that you are driving uphill all the time, and you overcome more than 4000 feet of altitude. Thanks for the memories that the video gave me. I picked out the photos from that time again.

It s a superb road trip.
A good way to show me something i won't be able to see by myself in my life.
Because i would like to live in US so much. Where you can live like you wish.
The only way i see = taking my own life away. or taking my own life, by the way.
My heart will bleed forever, broken into 1000000 pieces. No family, no friends to help me. I m useless, for anybody. I had so much love to give. Goodbye.

This video is marvelous, as seeing the endless flatness of eastern Colorado has given me a better appreciation of the Interstate 5 drive, in California, between Stockton to just south of Bakersfield. For decades I considered that to be a most monotonous drive. But after seeing the I-70 West drive in Colorado, the I-5 drive is downright scenic in comparison.

Good grief! You made it from St. Louis to Denver in 11 hours You averaged more than 74 mph even counting getting from Wildwood up onto 64/40 and then slower speeds through Kansas City And you never got pulled over Next time I want to go from my home north of Denver to see family in mid-Missouri, I want to ride with you! ;-)

Twice I driven nonstop Lexington, KY to Golden, Co -- about 17. 5 hours. Exhausting, but I have to say that eastern CO (in the Limon area, with all of its vast emptiness, is to me one of the most beautiful places in the US.
Colorado just has so much scenic beauty -- snow capped mts to arid plains. Just wow.

The plains are not much fun. But, I have learned so much geography by watching your videos. I never knew the plains attained such a high elevation as they do. Also, I did not know Denver was in the plains. I always thought it was in the mountains. So grateful for your videoing your trip and sharing it with us!

I see you also have plenty idiots who drive slowly in the left lane! All world around is full of fools!
But this is nothing compared to when one truck overtakes another at a speed of 1/2 mph faster, and a line of cars patiently trudges behind waiting for result of that competition! It's a circus!

As I watch this captivating video I can't help thinking of the song Abilene sung by George Hamilton IV: Abilene, Abilene prettiest town I've ever seen. Women there don't treat you mean, in Abilene, my Abilene.
Then again, I think the song is about Abilene, Texas.

Day 2 almost straight Great Planes. I was amazed at all the places in Kansas with rather than being flat like a pancake roll slightly. This probably helps them drain when it storms. I learned some geography and a little geology. I was amazed at how vast Kansas is.

I watched your whole trip from Washington, DC to Seattle in 4x time-lapse speed. Too fast. This video in real time is too slow. I think it would be nice in 2x time-lapese speed. Hello from Brazil.

I always liked the Great Plains. It has a lot of cool little farming towns and it is really satisfying to see such large empty land it makes you appreciate every house or thing you pass

Even though Colorado is well known for it’s mountains, there is a huge portion of Colorado that is just flat plains like Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

What a pity that Dashcams don't come with a radar, like saying north-east or south west. And have an arrow moving in the direction the driver is going.

While you were driving through Central Kansas, the audio was not in sync. For example, i hear the bridge crossing, but I don't see it.
