    Thank you Jim for this video! I made my first ever long distance trip from California to Carlsbad Caverns in 2008 and I can barley remember the Big I or Tijeras Canyon! Thanks so much for the memories! Can't wait to get back into making videos again.

    Loved it. I lived in TIJERAS back in 1984. I remember the drive from Albuquerque like it was yesterday.

    Nice video! I haven't been that way in a few years. Last time I went that way, it was at night, but in daytime, it's a good drive when not ABQ's rush hour.

    Hey over spring break I actually went to Albuquerque and Tucumcari, it was incredible! It was officially the very first time traveling into Mountain Time Zone!

    Very well done, Jim. Nothing but pleasant memories. I hope you caught the world's tallest cross at Groom, TX.

    The 00-02 "Big I" project was a complete interchange replacement, not an upgrade. All L exits and entrances were converted to R exits and entrances. As there is no Albuquerque Beltway, this interchange handles ALL through/long distance traffic. In retrospect, some of the flyovers should have been two lanes, instead of one. And the I-25 section S of the interchange should have been trenched, and straightened, as well.

    Sick ass song, perfectly synced and appropriate for the scenery, combined with an amazing drive thru Tijeras Canyon along I-40, means that this video instantly qualifies onto my "favorites" list. Probably one of my top 3 to 4 videos from your trip, for the reasons I mentioned above. Awesome work!

      Justin Hundley Ass is not a curse and Brent is a good friend so it's OK.

    Great ride and route selection. The track I'll say is interesting, but fitting.

    nice perspective of the big I. My pass-through was all rain so I couldn't get photos...

    Nice ride... a beautiful stretch of freeway and well-done. NMDoT did a good job with that stack at the beginning of the vid- and I was wondering where Walter White and Jesse Pinkman were- lol- Sorry so could not resist a Breaking Bad reference!

    Nice ride Jim - what did you mean by 'Political Revenge' at 3:03?

    • @Freewayjim
      @Freewayjim  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Apparently the person who made the decision to move route 66 did it screw Santa Fe (State Capitol), where 66 originally was routed through. I really did not get into the nuts and bolts of it.

    Tijeras - scissors - I-40 "cuts" through the canyon. It makes sense.

      It's OK that you didn't like the song, but keep two things in mind. #1 it did "work" with the tempo and flow of the video #2 There isnt a song in the world I could use in a given video that 100% of the people would like and that's cool. Thanks for watchiong.
