I live in the SF Bay Area, so I occasionally make the jaunt to Reno. I love a night drive, but this is my favorite part of a day drive I never, ever tire of it.
There is NOTHING like driving on a road, and seeing such beauty; but if you can't get out on the road, you can at least enjoy these lovely "Post Cards". if you will.
Just don't make a mess on your self- It doesn't go well with the breath taking scenery.
.. that is a great ride Brent - luuuv U2 going with it - and the scenery! In Aus our highest mountain (on the mainland) is only 7200ft so there ain't no freeways like that one here ..
Blue Canyon is the last possible spot where the Sacramento TV stations can do a remote using microwave. After that, there is no line-of-sight, so they would have to go with the more expensive satellite truck.
Great video! In 2004, I drove the stretch of I-80 from Reno to Truckee to visit Donner Memorial State Park. Enjoyed the Sierras and Lake Tahoe areas much more than Reno.
WOW, loved the video especialy at 6.25 where the mountians start really reminds me of Denver and Rockies looking forward too the rest of the series Great video and a awesome video
One of your best videos. Truly fantastic. I'd love to drive on that freeway one day. Does the 'trucks use right lane' sign imply that cars are not allowed to use it?
Very nice! I can see why you like this stretch of road, looks like a total blast to drive in addition to the natural beauty. The first 2 Minutes looks a lot like the PA Turnpike. Your choice of music worked well too, thumbs up!
Damn, I didn't know YouTube allowed users to use U2 songs. I had wanted to use "City of Blinding Lights" for my DC street tour but assumed it would be taken down for infringement. That said, this looks likes an amazing stretch of freeway. Well done, Brent!
@CosmoPhotography There won't be any problems, don't worry. I love using U2, and I'm actually going to use some on an upcoming video. Judging by the lyrics videos, I don't even get third party content matching. :D
@vbdenny I lived out west for a few years (I live in Austin right now) and everything was called Highway except in CA, at least from what I saw on maps/witnessed in Denver, Las Vegas, SLC and everywhere in between.
Watta beautiful highway (freeway in the WEST)... There are so many wonderful highways in the West..

@wipandco It is a climbing lane. Cars can use it too. It is more for the truckers to keep to the right lane.

Beautiful - It's hard to believe that this road takes you to the other side of the country. Brent are you a trucker???

my mom got relatives that live in Sacramento and this is one beautiful section of interstate. Just do it on a clear day for best results.
