Very interesting & cool. If I ever make it to the south, I want to go in early Oct, tho.

@northstar68 Shorter days, so if you don't mind driving after dark, Oct is not a bad time at all. July is the month with longest daylight time AND warmest temps, getting dark after 9:30pm local time. Even that I consider myself a pro driver, 700K+ miles in 25 years on the road, driving by night is not easy at all, it requires a lot of additional attention including to wildlife crossing the road right in front of you, a deer or wild pig for instance and then...

@northstar68 ...follow-up on my last reply to you, Sara, very rarely you see hurricanes or tropical storms in July, as a matter of fact NONE, ZERO, in all my southern road trips, 8 in total I think, when in Aug or Sept, maybe Oct as well...

Only this Aug, Irene on the East Coast and Lee down in Louisiana and Mississippi, and God knows what's in store for the rest of Sept and maybe Oct. So July: sunny weather (but extremely hot) plus longest days possible = perfect month for southern road trips.

@neptuno338 One day I hope I'll be able to comment on your OWN HD videos showing the beauty of your own Canary Island, right?

It's an interesting houses along the road. I never saw them before

[401RoadWarrior]

@Dmitryars No such thing in the entire EU, why? any hurricanes or tropical storms in EU? Look at my other videos with OBX, or Myrtle Beach, or Pensacola Beach, etc., in fact anywhere by the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Coasts you will see such houses, hurricanes and tropical storms followed by lots of flooding are pretty common on the Coast areas, that's why houses built in that particular way.
