One year after our last video here, we revisit the Spanish Plaza, the Canal Street Ferry Terminal, and the former ITM Building (later WTC) which is under renovation to become the new Four Seasons Hotel.

Road Trip #361 - Virginia SR-8 South - US-58 to North Carolina State Lin...
We continue along Virginia SR-8, heading south. SR-8 briefly runs
concurrent with US Highway 58 East, and then splits away and goes
through the town of Stuart. SR-8 doubles as US-58 Business into town,
and then SR-8 makes a right turn, avoiding the town center. An SR-8
business route runs through the downtown area. After leaving Stuart, we
continue all the way to the North Carolina State Line where we conclude
our video.

Road Trip #360 - Virginia SR-8 - Blue Ridge Parkway to US Highway 58 (Wo...
In July 2018, we took a trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we'll
eventually be publishing that video--as soon as we have the entire
parkway from end to end...this will require one more trip to accomplish.
At the end of day 1 of our trip, we decided to divert to
Winston-Salem, NC for the night. This was a big mistake, as we didn't
realize that it would be almost a 3 hour drive from the Parkway. During
this trip, we drove Virginia State Route 8, which later becomes North
Carolina State Route 8. This interesting little highway twists and
turns through the mountains and has some steep grades, and some of the
best scenery we saw on this trip. Here it is! The weather was nice
throughout most of this video with a short rain shower near the middle.
Note the vintage Motel right off the Parkway, and abandoned buildings
after we pass through the town of Woolwine.

Road Trip #357 - US-190 West - LA-113/Reeves to LA-110/Longville, Louisiana
We continue west on US-190, beginning at Reeves, Louisiana in Allen
Parish. On this strech of road, we see about 10 miles without any major
crossroads, and we also run into some bad weather with dark skies and a
brief rain shower. On the way, we enter Beauregard Parish. As we
approach the junction of US-171 at Ragley, some ambiguous signage led us
to believe that US-190 followed a different path from US-171, and we
missed our turn. Once we corrected this and headed north on the
concurrency of US-190 and US-171, the weather cleared up and we actually
had some good lighting, with the sun behind us. We conclude at the
census designated place of Longville.
Road Trip #356 - US-190 West - LA-395/Elton to LA-113/Reeves, Louisiana
