🚙 Drive America's Highways for 23 miles south along County Road 7950 from Nageezi to Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico.
The route from Nageezi to Chaco Culture National Historical Park is a scenic, yet challenging 20 or so mile trek through the stunning high desert of New Mexico. Starting out on a relatively smooth, paved road, County Road 7900, we travel south for five miles, winding between various ranches. Although paved, we recommend keeping your speed low as the road is bumpy in places and there are a few cattle grates that we cross along the way.
The scenery on this part of the drive is typical high-desert: lots of grasses and small bushes dotted with the occasional tree. There are a few hills, the peaks of which offer stunning panoramas of the surrounding areas. Five miles or so south of the start of the drive, the route turns southwest on CR-7950. Starting out paved for the first 2 miles or so, CR-7950 takes us deeper into the New Mexican desert with fewer and fewer signs of civilization along the way.
As the pavement ends, County Road 7950 goes through various surface materials. From packed earth to gravel to the rocky banks of a wash, we travel 15 miles through some pretty rugged terrain. Cars can make the drive, at least when it's dry. This road will take its toll on your vehicle. We drove this in a full-sized pickup truck and you can see how rough it was for us. Imagine that in a car!
Continuing southwest, we eventually cross the Escavada Wash and climb a small hill before flattening out for the final approach to Chaco Canyon. This is by far one of the roughest parts of the drive. Take it slow through here, your car will thank you. Descending into the canyon, the road turns to sandy dirt and while smoother than the stuff before it, presenting its own set of challenges. we didn't get much faster than 10 miles per hour during parts of this.
Entering the park, the road becomes paved again - why they even bothered at this point is beyond our understanding - and we take a brief stop for the obligatory entrance sign photo. Entering Chaco Culture National Historical Park, we continue towards the visitors center where we stop to learn about the area and a much needed rest.
The road to Chaco National Historical Park is a scenic, yet rough trip through the high desert of New Mexico. While slow-going, the journey offers panoramic views unmatched anywhere else. Be sure to check road conditions before setting out and respect the local tribal lands. Despite the challenging drive, the destination is well worth the effort.

![U.S. Route 70S: McMinnville to Sparta - Tennessee | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hX-XWS2hni4/mqdefault.jpg "U.S. Route 70S: McMinnville to Sparta - Tennessee | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]
🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 24 miles east along U.S. Route 70S from McMinnville to Sparta, Tennessee — a scenic drive through river valleys and quiet small towns.
U.S. Route 70S provides an important east–west link across middle Tennessee, serving both as a local connector and as a parallel alternative to Interstate 40 farther north. This segment between McMinnville and Sparta highlights the beauty of the Highland Rim, where rolling farmland meets wooded ridges and winding river valleys. Beginning in McMinnville, the route leaves the city by crossing the Collins River, an area known for its fertile valleys and nursery industry.
Heading northeast, the highway intersects Tennessee Route 30 before reaching the small community of Campaign. Here the drive bends east to cross the Rocky River, offering glimpses of the surrounding hills. Continuing on, the route makes its way toward Doyle, a community with deep ties to White County’s rural heritage. From Doyle, the final stretch runs northward, joining Tennessee Route 111 as the highway enters Sparta. This town, rich in history and culture, marks the eastern end of this drive, with U.S. 70S continuing eastward toward Crossville.
This drive provides a look at classic middle Tennessee scenery, blending farmland, rivers, and charming small towns into a route that has been a vital corridor for generations. Whether taken for utility or leisure, the highway captures the quieter pace and scenic beauty of this part of the state.

🚙 Drive Americas Highways for 78 miles south along U.S. Highway 65 from Pine Bluff to Lake Village, Arkansas 🛣️
Beginning at Atkins Lake Road, this segment of U.S. Route 65 traverses southward between Pine Bluff and Lake Village, Arkansas, covering approximately 70 miles of diverse terrain and landscapes. Departing from Pine Bluff, a city known for its historical significance and industrial presence, the highway initially heads southeast, passing through suburban and rural areas characterized by agricultural fields and patches of woodlands. As it gradually leaves the urban influence behind, Route 65 transitions into a more serene and pastoral setting, marked by the sprawling farmlands typical of the Arkansas Delta region.
Continuing southeast, Route 65 meanders through small towns and communities, providing access to local amenities and serving as a vital transportation artery for residents and travelers alike. Along the route, motorists encounter picturesque views of the Arkansas countryside, with vast expanses of croplands, meandering streams, and occasional clusters of trees dotting the landscape. As the highway approaches Lake Village, the terrain gently slopes downward, offering glimpses of the expansive waters of Lake Chicot, the largest oxbow lake in North America, which lies adjacent to the town. The drive culminates at Arkansas Highway 144 in Lake Village, where travelers can explore the towns historic charm and recreational opportunities, marking the end of this segment of U.S. Route 65s southward journey through southeastern Arkansas.

🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 27 miles south along Interstate 675 from Medway to Miamisburg, Ohio — circling Dayton’s eastern suburbs on the region’s principal beltway route.
The video begins at I-70 on the northeastern side of the Dayton metropolitan area, where I-675 starts its broad sweep around the eastern side of the city. From the interchange, the highway heads south through the communities and suburban areas east of Dayton, providing an important connection between I-70, the eastern suburbs, and destinations along the southern side of the metropolitan area.
Continuing south, Interstate 675 passes through the Fairborn and Beavercreek areas, where the corridor becomes increasingly developed. Interchanges provide access to major local and regional roads serving Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Wright State University, shopping districts, residential neighborhoods, and the extensive commercial development surrounding Beavercreek. Despite the suburban setting, portions of I-675 remain bordered by wooded areas and open roadside spaces, giving the highway a noticeably different character from the more heavily urbanized interstate corridors closer to downtown Dayton.
South of Beavercreek, I-675 continues through the eastern and southeastern suburbs of the Dayton area. The route passes connections serving Kettering, Centerville, Washington Township, and surrounding communities while maintaining its limited-access freeway character. Traffic and development become denser around the major interchanges, with stretches of trees and gently rolling terrain separating many of the commercial areas. The highway serves both local commuters and through traffic seeking to travel between I-70 and I-75 without passing directly through central Dayton.
The final portion of the drive carries Interstate 675 southwest through the Centerville and Miamisburg area. Here, the freeway gradually approaches the Great Miami River corridor and the heavily traveled southern side of the Dayton region. The video ends at Interstate 75 in Miamisburg, where I-675 reaches its southern terminus and traffic can continue north toward Dayton or south toward Cincinnati. From Medway to Miamisburg, the drive provides a complete southbound run of Interstate 675 and a clear look at the highway that forms the eastern arc of Dayton’s interstate network.

🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 128 miles east along Interstate 22 from Tupelo, Mississippi, to Birmingham, Alabama. 🛣️
The drive begins in Tupelo as Interstate 22 merges from the Natchez Trace Parkway interchange. Almost immediately, the route crosses U.S. Highway 45 at a full cloverleaf, providing connections north toward Corinth and south toward Columbus. Leaving Tupelo behind, I-22 travels eastward across the rolling hills of northeastern Mississippi, serving the towns of Fulton and Tremont before reaching the Alabama state line. This section highlights the relatively new construction of I-22, a modern corridor built to provide a high-speed link between Memphis and Birmingham along the historic U.S. 78 alignment.
Crossing into Alabama, the highway takes on a more southeasterly direction just before Hamilton, offering access to U.S. Highway 278 and Alabama Highway 13. From here, the route threads through the Appalachian foothills, passing wooded ridges and valleys on the approach to Jasper, one of the larger communities along the corridor. South of Jasper, I-22 shifts more directly toward Birmingham, skirting Cordova before intersecting U.S. Highway 78 near Graysville. The final leg carries traffic past several local interchanges before reaching its eastern terminus at Interstate 65 north of downtown Birmingham. The video concludes at this major interchange, where I-22 officially ends and traffic can continue south toward the heart of Birmingham or north toward Cullman and Huntsville.

![U.S. Route 63: Mammoth Spring to Hardy - Arkansas | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i5WNYyeHlNM/mqdefault.jpg "U.S. Route 63: Mammoth Spring to Hardy - Arkansas | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]
🚙 Drive Americas Highways for 16 miles south along U.S. Highway 63 from Mammoth Spring to Hardy, Arkansas 🛣️
The segment of U.S. Route 63 between Mammoth Spring and Hardy offers a short but picturesque drive through the Ozark Foothills of north-central Arkansas. Beginning at the junction with Arkansas Highway 9 in Mammoth Spring, the route immediately places travelers near the famous Mammoth Spring State Park. This natural landmark, with its impressive flow of nearly nine million gallons per hour, forms the Spring River and has long been a focal point for the community. The drive begins just south of this scenic area, heading southwest out of town along a well-traveled corridor that connects local traffic with regional through routes.
Leaving Mammoth Spring, U.S. 63 winds gently through rolling wooded terrain that typifies the Ozarks. The highway follows alongside the Spring River in places, providing glimpses of its clear waters, which are popular with canoeists, anglers, and vacationers. The road is a blend of forested curves and open stretches, with occasional roadside businesses catering to both locals and tourists. This segment also serves as an important connector between two notable towns, with Hardy just a few miles to the south.
Arriving in Hardy, the highway meets U.S. Route 412, forming the main junction at the edge of town. Hardy is well known for its historic downtown district, with restored 19th- and early 20th-century storefronts that now house antique shops, art galleries, and small eateries. The area has become a destination for those interested in Ozark heritage and outdoor recreation, as the nearby Spring River continues to draw visitors. Though only a short stretch of highway, the drive on U.S. 63 between Mammoth Spring and Hardy combines natural beauty, cultural heritage, and the sense of entering the gateway to the Arkansas Ozarks.

![Interstate 69: Interstate 64 to Evansville - Indiana | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost/Revisited]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iPbOhcyIjqQ/mqdefault.jpg "Interstate 69: Interstate 64 to Evansville - Indiana | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost/Revisited]
🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 21 miles south along Interstate 69 from Interstate 64 to Evansville, Indiana — a fast route into the city’s east side and riverfront gateway.
This drive along Interstate 69 begins at its junction with Interstate 64 just northwest of Elberfeld, Indiana. Heading south through rural Warrick and Vanderburgh Counties, the highway offers a smooth, modern alignment that bypasses smaller towns to provide a direct link into Evansville. Along the way, the route connects with Indiana State Road 57, offering access to regional communities and local industry.
As I-69 continues south, the landscape shifts from farmland into suburban development, marking the entrance into Evansville’s eastern corridor. The highway serves as a major bypass around the city, linking important east–west routes such as Indiana 66. Near Newburgh, the interstate curves westward at the junction with Indiana 662, carrying traffic toward the southern suburbs. The drive concludes at the current southern terminus of this section of I-69, where it meets U.S. Highway 41 on Evansville’s south side. This interchange provides direct access to the city, its riverfront, and further connections toward Henderson, Kentucky.
I-69 plays a key role in Indiana’s highway system as part of a broader corridor planned to eventually extend from Michigan to Texas. This Evansville segment is not only vital for local travel but also for future long-haul connections through the Midwest and beyond.

![[Repost/Remastered] U.S. Route 70: Brownsville to Lakeland - Tennessee | Drive Americas Highways 🚙](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iTd8zBhvFLc/mqdefault.jpg "[Repost/Remastered] U.S. Route 70: Brownsville to Lakeland - Tennessee | Drive Americas Highways 🚙
🚙 Drive Americas Highways for 36 miles west along U.S. Highway 70 from Brownsville to Lakeland, Tennessee 🛣️
This video follows U.S. Route 70 westbound from the junction with TN-19, TN-1, and U.S. 79 in southwest Brownsville to the intersection with Canada Road in Lakeland. From the start in Brownsville, U.S. 70 and U.S. 79 run together as a 2-lane highway heading west-southwest through Haywood County. The route quickly leaves the city behind, passing fields, scattered farmsteads, and patches of woodland along a gently rolling alignment.
This corridor traces the path of Tennessee’s first state highway, a key link that pre-dates the interstate system. Before I-40 was built, this was the primary road between Brownsville and Memphis, carrying everything from local farm traffic to cross-state travelers. Communities like Stanton, Mason, and Gallaway grew up along its shoulders, and while modern bypasses have reduced through-traffic, the road retains much of its original two-lane character.
Continuing into Shelby County, the highway reaches Arlington, where it crosses I-269/TN-385 at a modern interchange before pressing west into the Memphis metro. The drive ends in Lakeland at Canada Road, a local connector to I-40 and nearby destinations. Today, this segment of U.S. 70 offers a slower-paced, historically significant alternative to the interstate—perfect for travelers interested in a glimpse of Tennessee’s early highway era.

🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 51 miles south along Interstate 69 from Calvert City to Fulton, Kentucky — a route through the scenic western edge of the Bluegrass State.
This segment of Interstate 69 begins at Calvert City, where the highway meets Interstate 24 at a newly reconfigured interchange. From here, the route quickly sets its course southward, skirting through Daffenville before reaching Benton, a small but bustling county seat in Marshall County. The interstate gradually veers southwest as it approaches Mayfield, where it serves as a modern bypass around the city, keeping long-distance travelers moving while providing connections into the local community.
West of Mayfield, the route transitions onto the Julian M. Carroll Purchase Parkway, a corridor now signed as Interstate 69 and destined to be part of the full I-69 system stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The drive carries motorists through the rolling farmlands and quiet rural towns of western Kentucky, including Wingo and Water Valley, showcasing a mix of open countryside and small-town character.
As the highway approaches Fulton, a border community with strong rail and highway ties, the roadway bends westward to skirt around the town. The journey concludes at the junction with U.S. Highway 51, just steps from the Tennessee state line, where the corridor continues its southward journey toward Union City and beyond. This drive highlights not only the evolving interstate network but also the unique blend of rural Kentucky landscapes that define this region.
