@daredevilofficial41003 жыл бұрын
I think the reason for this is by the time I-90 heads into Wyoming eastbound, traffic can already have split off onto I-94 back in Billings. But Montana is where I-94 ends on I-90. This I think merges westbound long distance traffic for both I-90 and I-94 onto I-90, causing more traffic.

Many years ago Montana had a "reasonable but prudent" speed limit. Germans would fly to Montana just to drive on Montana Highways the state then implemented 75 MPH speed limit, in later years it was raised to 80 MPH.

I'm surprised Jim you didn't film entering into Montana into Billings since it is the largest city in Montana and in 500 miles, next largest city along I-90 West in 500 Miles is Spokane, WA. I hope your other videos assuming you keep following I-90, you film Butte to Missouls then to Idaho, Lookout Pass and then the decent into Mullan, pat Wallace, 4th of July Pass, Coeur D Alene ID, and if you did go further west on I-90 Spokane, WA. Other than that great video, quality is amazing.

I have someone running the camera in the front seat so in fairness to them I pick my spots for filming, nor would I film hundreds of miles at a time (with a few exceptions) even if I were alone.

Did not film Butte to Missoula but we did get before and after Lookout Pass and yes we did some filming in Spokane.
