I grew up in Oregon, actually on Rt. 2 a little south of town. The average size house with the huge yard and a barn. I'm in southern illinois now in college and I haven't lived in Oregon for about 6 years. It's nice to see that I'm not the only person who gets nostalgic about it. I appreciate the video. I make the drive up there as often as possible, but not often enough. It's nice to see the area once in a while.
I grew up in Oregon, drank beer at The Well, and moved to the west coast. I'm a friend of Steve Novak, I believe he is a cousin of yours. Funny thing is I now live part time in CA and part time in China. I watched this in China and it sure brought back some memories. I agree that it is one of the best drives in the world...Thanks!
I remember as a young kid going through there on my way back home in Rockford back in the early 70's. Does the Grand Detour Bridge still exist today? As a kid I thought that was a beautiful bridge.
This is so nostologic, reminds me of the good old days where the biggest adventure was heading to Rockford. A great classic, thanks for posting this beautiful video!
Thank you for a ride through the past! I am from the Oregon area and enjoyed this video very much as I live on the west coast now...I probably drank beers with you at The Well or partied in a cornfield with you, ha...long live the great midwest.....thank you!

Why did you skip the drive through Byron?

No, I started getting all nostalgic and shooting once I got below Byron.
