  • From subarctic to tropical, this is a 3,030-mile (4,876-km) road trip from St. John's, NL to Key West, FL across three Canadian provinces, fourteen U.S. states, and the District of Columbia.
    The provinces/states passed through are:
    Newfoundland and Labrador: 0:00:35-2:12:55
    Nova Scotia: 2:13:11-3:13:28
    New Brunswick: 3:13:28-3:55:32
    Maine: 3:55:37-5:00:53
    New Hampshire: 5:00:53-5:04:29
    Massachusetts: 5:04:29-5:24:27
    Rhode Island: 5:24:27-5:34:31
    Connecticut: 5:34:31-6:04:39
    New York: 6:04:39-6:15:35
    New Jersey: 6:15:35-6:42:46
    Delaware: 6:42:46-6:49:29
    Maryland: 6:49:29-7:20:19
    District of Columbia: 7:20:19-7:20:21
    Virginia: 7:20:21-8:00:12
    North Carolina: 8:00:12-8:38:44
    South Carolina: 8:38:44-9:18:46
    Georgia: 9:18:46-9:40:48
    Florida: 9:40:48-12:14:53
    This video covers almost the entirety of I-95 from Houlton, Maine to Miami, Florida, with the exception of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This video takes place over three different trips: Across the Island of Newfoundland of Newfoundland and Labrador; Nova Scotia to Springfield, Virginia; and Springfield, Virginia to Key West, Florida.
    To be clear, St. John's is considered an oceanic climate, but there are parts of the island of Newfoundland that are considered subarctic, such as Channel-Port aux Basques.
    The vehicles used, which were all rentals are:
    Across Newfoundland - 2017 Chevrolet Impala (picked up dropped off at St. John's International Airport)
    North Sydney, NS to Springfield, VA - 2018 Kia Sorento
    Springfield, VA to Key West, FL - 2018 Volvo XC90 (both of which were picked up and dropped off at Washington Dulles International Airport).
    A correction in the video: at 7:06:57, the tunnel is Fort McHenry Tunnel, not the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel as stated in the video. Thank you, Chris Foster, for pointing that out.
    To quote George R.R. Martin about writing A Dance with Dragons, with regards to editing and publishing this video: "The last one was a bitch; this one was three bitches and a bastard."

    I've finally got this video published! To say that this was a bitch is an under statement: from the difficulty in extracting the GPS information from the video files, to the editing, to publishing this video (which took nearly a month). All of this made publishing this video at 1:15AM (Eastern Standard Time - UTC-5), February, 25, 2019 all the while worth it. I still have several more videos to come. I am undecided about releasing this trip in real-time, so please leave me comments about which parts, if any, you think I should publish in real-time.

    5 hours into the video, and the biggest surprise so far is the amount of traffic in Newfoundland.

    Sometimes while on a highway, I'll take notice of license plates indicating other vehicles' distant origins. In New York, I'd say at least 65% of license plates are from NY and surrounding states of NJ, CT; less than 10% from PA, MA and OH; and not that many from places like NM or Arkansas. After watching this video it can be interesting to realize there's a reasonably good chance any of these vehicles may be crossing 150 counties across the U.S. and Canada within 10 hours of my encountering them.

      Nice area. It reminds me a lot of where I grew up in upstate NY. I was so tempted to speed through there, but I had no idea how many cops there were there.

    My wife and I did this trip but didn't use interstates. I thought we'd really get to see each town's uniqueness but instead we just saw everyone's walmarts, subways, and check cashing places. Still a great trip. After you cross the mason dixon line it's hard to find vegetables at restaurants.

      Part of me wanted to drive the entirety of US-1. It was due to time why I chose I-95 instead.

    Props to you for being able to do this trip. Considering how much traffic you probably had to deal with from north of Boston to maybe south of Richmond, taking I-95 most of the way, incredible. Some of the commenters say you should have taken more of US 1. A driver would need a lot more time using US 1. Way to many stretches where it's just a two lane road, or you have to drive slowly through a lot of small towns and a few really big cities.

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! In general, traffic wasn't bad - just a little thick passing through NYC, Jacksonville, and little south of Ft. Lauderdale. I was seriously considering taking US-1 all the way down. Time, or lack of, was the main reason why I just stayed on I-95. I'd wanted to do a complete I-95 anyway, but I also want to do a complete US-1 drive. So, I think I'll do a US-1 road trip at some point, at least part of the way. I live in the DC area, so I have easy access to US-1.
