Thank you for watching!

Glad the videos bring back some nice memories for you, thanks for watching.

It's a neat ride through there day or night, I have night footage of it as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5x9lLFmxJ7Ldac.html

El Paso is ugly

your ugly!

@@nickc3856 true

You are no bargin either. ​@@nickc3856

Thank you, yes El Paso has some neat features to it, glad you enjoyed it.

I've been to El Paso multiple times to visit my nana there

David Carson yes! El Paso is so underrated. It’s an awesome place

Watching this video right now makes the cityscape between Downtown El Paso and Sunland Park Drive look archaic compared to how it looks in the present. I visit El Paso, TX twice a month & can attest to the fact that Interstate 10 between the aforementioned sections is immaculate & it has been substantially upgraded to include more main lanes, the addition of architectural enhancements, and for a short distance, runs parallel to the newly constructed section of the Border Expressway that loops the city. There’s even a new indoor skydiving and top golf entertainment complex that’s visible from the freeway now. The complex also features color change-neon lighting that makes traveling this section of freeway at night a magnificent driving experience. The current aesthetic is modern and is as beautiful as it is fun to drive. I’ve been to Houston & Dallas within the last two weeks and Although I-10 through El Paso is not as expansive as the Katy Freeway in Houston or The new LBJ Expressway in Dallas, one thing is for sure, anyone experiencing the freeway will now know for damn sure that they’re in Texas.

David Carson it's about 2 hours from mexico

Thank you

Thank you!

Thanks and I would like to see that as well.

Yeh funny stuff

Tucson, AZ has a pedestrian overpass that is the shape of and painted like a snake.

On my way from CA to NC back in 2009 I spent the night in El Paso and then drove to Dallas and spent the night there. Man that was a tough, and boring stretch of highway.

I made it from lake Havasu city Arizona to San Antonio in 18 hours bruh it’s not that difficult you just drive

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely a unique place. Not surprising that Gene Roddenberry, creator of "Star Trek", was born here.

Thanks, I shot this westbound at dusk in 2015 (Video 15-13), a very pretty ride.

LOL, Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.

Thank you very much for the comment and for watching!

Thanks, yes, yes that is a bit of an oddity.

Thank you!

Thanks and you are correct, when I first went through there in 2015 I was not expecting all those flyovers (under construction).

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I've only been through the area twice but it looks like an interesting place.

Merry Christmas to you! and thank you very much.

Flat, Texas ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜

@@LynelGaming10 I don’t see how you can call a place flat, when the video you just watched proves otherwise. Even if it was completely flat, what’s the alternative? Textured? Who cares? You people act like mountains are the focal point of a state

Thanks, it has its moments.

It's a lot of desert if you like that haha.

Thank you much!

Thank you Vera!

Bill Ball jim did you ever eat at whataburger when you were in Texas? comment me back

Thank you Bill!

Yes, I've had it several times in my travels, it's pretty good, a nice change of pace.

Thank you so much for that

Thank you!

I live in Pennyslvania, i can't believe we are neighbour

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

You are the one to do the best to have your life in life life is

Xx

Thank you, I enjoy driving in that scenery too!

Same man. Except San Jose to San Antonio

Thank you for the comment and for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Yes indeed, it's an interesting drive through.

It was a beautiful day across the southwest for sure, those spinning things are just bridge decorations, there is a lot of effort out west in making highway infrastructure more visually appealing, thank you very much!

They light up at night and they look beautiful. They are powered by the wind, here in el Paso we refer to them as fancy expensive pvc pipes

Se puede apreciar parte de Ciudad Juárez. Saludos

Thanks...there,s nothing really to see at the border, check Google Street view if you are that curious.

I forgot about street view, thanks.

It's a great ride. I've done all of I-10 several times both ways, having moved from LA to Florida. Just be careful with the 500 mile stretch between San Antonio and El Paso. West of El Paso, the cities are still far apart but it's not nearly as desolate.

Thanks, yes it is a nice ride worth doing.

That was the Texas Lottery Powerball jackpot of $153 million

beepbeepme50 LOL!!! good eye

It’s the price here in Italy (58% of it taxes)

At the time of this video gas was $2.05 a gallon. You can see the price towards the end of the video.

That's per gallon, not per liter, my italian friend.

Thanks, yes to above...as for the Tutorial, very few people use Final Cut Express so it would kind of go for naught and yes that is a big time commitment. The guide to making videos in the FWJ facebook group is pretty thorough though.

Thanks, oh yes, that would be neat to see some vintage footage, hope you can find it.

Thank you!

Thank you, those long distance videos with minimal production values really aren't my thing but I know some people like them. I'm usually good for 12-14 hours of driving on an average day during these trips, in 2015 we went from Houston to Las Cruces on I-10 comfortably.

Nice!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

LOL, Thank you!

Thanks, youtube has a list that gives you the copyright policies of most songs as to whether they can be used or not. kzfaq.info_policies

Thank you very much!

I love Texas I'm a conservative so I love it plus there freeways are nice 6:06 nice art nothing compared to California

It's growing quick

Thank you, I travel around 2 weeks a year on average, this trip was 11 days, not what you were expecting I'm sure.

Thank you, yes it is a pretty interesting city/area with regard to scenery.

It is currently being widened to six lanes west of El Paso all the way to TX-375 interchange and also east all the way to Horizon City.

@@Noahvis4 The "Mountain Road", but needs to 6 lanes for the remaining 5 miles (less than 5 miles?) to exit 0 at Anthony and the NM line, otherwise will create bottleneck between I-25 interchange in Las Cruces, NM and TX-375 interchange.

@@Ken_Weber_organist Yes it will and I agree with you, it should be 6 lanes all the way to New Mexico and great point.

Thanks, yes it's a shock to the system at first, just not something you see back east.

I'm just full of surpises I guess :)

Ha! Thank you!

You mean passing through the step

Thank you! Videos 15-12 and 15-13 on this channel are also from El Paso if you have not seen them yet.

Freewayjim I’ve seen it both too.

Nope. They're just there because they can be. Pretty new, too, they've only been there for a couple of years actually.

I-20, the next video is the Metroplex.

I don't use a dashcam, I use a Sony Camcorder, my gear is listed in the closing credits of the video. I don't know exactly, I usually shoot in smaller chunks, but with my camera, I can get 5+ hours at full settings on a 64GB SD card.

Jim, thanks for the information! Ron W

I have several times, and there are some video of those places on this channel.

I don't know

The name, originally El Paso del Norte, means "the pass of the north" or "the northern ford". This was the spot where the Camino Real wagon trail, coming north toward New Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande and passed through the narrow gap between the Sierra de Juarez range on the south and the Franklin Mountains on the north.

Avoid girls named Feleena.

No I did not, don't know what that is.

LOL, Thanks!

I've done it, blah, lol.

I hear ya, look at El Paso, it's technically a bigger "City" population than Atlanta but Atlanta has a metro of 6+ Million (and growing) so it's a highly flawed metric.

Yep, technically San Antonio is #2 in Texas, but is dwarfed by Dallas and Houston MSA/CSA numbers. Ditto for San Diego, while #2, LA and SF Bay obliterate in terms of the aforementioned metrics. Interesting factoid, for a brief period, Texas was the only state in the union with 3 cities over 1 million (cities, not metros), though when San Jose went over a million a few years back, California joined the club. With Austin flirting at a million (last count somewhere in the 930k figures), I suspect that Texas will be the only state with 4 cities at 1m+. Not certain how I feel about this......

There are some strange anomalies, for sure. There's that outdated statistic of only 10 US cities having more than 1 million. It sounds nuts, but it's technically true, if you only measure historical city limits, which in the modern world makes no sense. There are actually 54 CSA's with 1 million+, of which the El Paso area is the 54th.

Yes but size wise houston is almost double the size of dallas... if you took away fort worth from dallas were would dallas be?

LTU932 If Texas was a European country, it would be the 2nd largest in Europe. (Just slightly larger than Ukraine)

Interstate 10 east sign says San Antonio when your in El Paso but San Antonio is so far away it takes almost a day.

Thanks, #1, I have no idea but I'll guess that it was for the terrorist shooting in the Orlando, FL nightclub the night before, #2 I think those are decorations for the bridge, I assume that is a busy thoroughfare that I-10 crosses at that point.

That would be very time consuming and not many people use the software I use so it wouldn't matter that much. However, in the FreewayJim facebook group we have a guide to making videos in the docs section that has some tutorials within it.

I do have this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9Z0pKaDnLqZknU.html

Thanks, yes indeed, lots of stacks coming in the next video.

Uh yeah that was pretty much my point in the video.

Its not that its a small city because it isn't... its that there are NO suburbs. where as cities like houston have 15-20 suburbs el paso prob has like 3

Thanks, yeah, there's not much greenery out that way.

Go to their Wikipedia entries or just google the question.
