Good footage......gotta be carefull coming down the oregon side of the summitt.....in addition to the grade,after you pass the railroad under crossing you hit a semi straight away that leads into a set of "s" curves and a couple of blind shoulders for highway patrol to catch you speeding thru. I like interstate mountain driving alot and i thought siskiyou,Mt. Shasta,and grapevine were the best until I drove thru I-90 snoqualmie pass!!!

@nostalgiamelancolia1 I'm from Seattle, and you're right, once I get into California, it gets less green. Of course, the farther South you do, the hotter, so that makes sense.
-
@jcmynt I know! I'm from Seattle, and I've heard numerous people get speed trapped in this area.
-
The mountain scenery will start getting greener as I-5 enters Oregon.

I never realized how crappy Oregon's roads were until watching this video. Nice and smooth for the first part of the video. Hit the Oregon line and it's all shaky. Great video (not so great roads, Oregon!)

I LOVE this drive... but I got nailed by CHP going about 90 about 2 miles south of where this video begins... so be really careful when driving here :P

is the crashed truck the same one as the one on 7:56? (the crazy speedy truck passing on a downhill.) I drove this route last summer and it was fun! lots of curves and lots of trucks going 10 MPH on the right with their hazard lights on cuz it was so windy. I can feel the wind even in my mini van lol.

@anttrap321: Nah, those are two different trucks (positive on that). I forgot to take this version down. I have an edited version of this same video available here (sorry, YouTube doesn't allow complete links in comments) /watch?v=Z8w5kNtdxAc

7:46....I will never forget the time that I saw a car go down that escape ramp. I guess they lost their brakes. What they did not count on was sinking into the gravel. Thankfully, they survived the ordeal.

@SaltyTestes: I'm always conscious about the "what-if" scenarios, when I drive down mountain passes like Siskiyou Summit. That's why I stick to the speed limit and the advisory speed signs along the curves; you just never know if you're gonna have to swerve around some unexpected hazard.
