I think it would be really cool if somebody would do the entire trip with a mounted camera and time lapse photography...

Did anyone happen to notice that despite the video starting 2 hours North of Los Angeles, fully 2/3 of it was shot South of the state line in BCS?

You have to admit, other than BOLA there isn't much to see past San Quintin all the way down to the border.

Did they move Bellingham, WA???? I'd have sworn that trip included the Space Needle!

I leave the country for 10 years & they move all the cities around to different states?

You're kidding.....RIGHT??? I certainly don't "have to admit" that, as a matter of fact, I totally disagree! Maybe you dozed off for that part of the drive!

Very cool!! Now I can say that I've done the drive ... although the way I drive, it needs to be about 15 minutes long.
