Travel 110 miles along Interstate 44 from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Joplin, Missouri, following a key section of the Will Rogers Turnpike. This drive begins in northeast Tulsa at the interchange with Interstate 244, where I-44 heads northeast toward Catoosa. Shortly after leaving the city, the highway crosses the Verdigris River and passes through Claremore, serving as a primary corridor for both regional and long-distance traffic.
From Claremore, I-44 continues northeast through rolling countryside, intersecting major routes such as OK-20, OK-28, and U.S. Highway 69 before reaching the Vinita Service Area. This classic mid-century Route 66 stop, built directly over the turnpike, offers food, fuel, and a unique over-the-road view of traffic below. Past Vinita, the route veers north toward Miami, Oklahoma, and approaches the tri-state area. At the Oklahoma-Missouri line, the tollway ends, and I-44 transitions to a free interstate for the short remaining stretch into Joplin. The drive concludes at the interchange with Interstate 49 northbound, a gateway to Kansas City and the broader Midwest.
This segment of I-44 blends the turnpike’s smooth, high-speed travel with glimpses of small-town Oklahoma and Missouri. Long, open stretches are paired with historic highway connections, making it both an efficient route for through traffic and an interesting drive for those exploring America’s heartland.

🚙 Drive Americas Highways for 32 miles north along Arkansas Highway 123 from Sand Gap to Western Grove.
We start the ride from Sand Gap to Western Grove turning north onto Arkansas Highway 123 from a junction with Arkansas Highway 7 just north of Sand Gap. Driving generally north, we travel about 15 miles through the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest to the junction with Arkansas Highway 74 in Mt. Judea. Now driving north on the conjoined AR-74 and AR-123, we leave Mt. Judea to the north where we pass through the community of Vendor before reaching Piercetown.
At Piercetown, we continue north on AR-123 as AR-74 splits to the west. Entering Hasty a few miles later, the highway turns generally northwest for the remaining 9 miles to Western Grove. At Western Grove, we end the video at the intersection with U.S. Highway 65.

![Interstate 65: Louisville to Elizabethtown, Kentucky | Real Roads, Real Drives [Revisited]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cfNiFlZaBMY/mqdefault.jpg "Interstate 65: Louisville to Elizabethtown, Kentucky | Real Roads, Real Drives [Revisited]
🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 31 miles south along Interstate 65 from I-265 in Louisville to US-62 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky — through rolling hills, farmland, and one of Kentucky’s busiest corridors.
Interstate 65 departs the Louisville metro area at its junction with I-265, quickly transitioning from dense suburban development into a more open and gently rolling landscape typical of central Kentucky. This stretch serves as a major north–south artery, linking Louisville with Nashville and beyond, and carries a steady flow of regional and long-distance traffic. Early in the drive, commercial zones and logistics centers line the corridor, reflecting the interstate’s role in freight movement. As the route continues south, development begins to thin, replaced by patches of woodland, open pasture, and scattered rural homes that hint at the agricultural backbone of the region.
The highway maintains a relatively smooth and modern alignment, with gradual curves and mild elevation changes that follow the natural contours of the terrain. Interchanges along the way provide access to smaller communities and local roads, though much of the drive retains a consistent, uninterrupted rhythm. The surrounding scenery alternates between tree-lined stretches and open fields, offering a balanced mix of shade and wide-open views. Seasonal changes can significantly alter the character of this segment, from lush greens in the warmer months to more subdued tones in late fall and winter.
Approaching Elizabethtown, often referred to locally as E-town, the landscape begins to show signs of increasing development once again. Retail centers, residential growth, and light industry gradually reappear, signaling the approach to one of the region’s key population centers. The US-62 interchange marks a primary gateway into the city, connecting travelers to local routes that lead deeper into Hardin County and toward nearby destinations. Despite its role as a major interstate corridor, this stretch offers a comfortable balance between urban accessibility and the quieter, rural character that defines much of central Kentucky. It’s a stretch where the roadside towns still offer plenty to explore.

![[Repost] California Route 2: West Hollywood to Santa Monica — Los Angeles County Drive](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dRstg1ZqkLY/mqdefault.jpg "[Repost] California Route 2: West Hollywood to Santa Monica — Los Angeles County Drive
Drive Americas Highways through the heart of Los Angeles along California State Route 2 as it winds from West Hollywood to the edge of the Pacific in Santa Monica. This urban stretch, while relatively short, packs a lot into its roughly 9-mile corridor — offering a vivid cross-section of the Westsides ever-changing streetscapes, culture, and traffic flow. Beginning at La Cienega Boulevard, this portion of Route 2 follows the famed Santa Monica Boulevard westward, threading through some of the most iconic neighborhoods in Southern California.
The journey passes through Beverly Hills — with its manicured medians, upscale retail, and landmark intersections — before continuing into Century City and West Los Angeles. These sections offer a look at the transitional zones of LA’s west side: from high-end shopping and corporate high-rises to more modest commercial strips and residential pockets. As Santa Monica Boulevard nears its end, the route enters the city of Santa Monica proper, a vibrant coastal community known for its walkability, parks, and lively street activity. The route ends at Lincoln Boulevard, just a few blocks inland from the beach, where State Route 2 officially terminates.
While not a traditional freeway or mountain pass like other segments of CA-2, this section is notable for its urban density and historic alignment. It’s one of the few state highways in California that slices through multiple municipalities in such a compact stretch — making it a functional yet fascinating drive for those exploring the Los Angeles basin by car.

![Bluegrass Parkway: Elizabethtown to Lexington - Kentucky | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eReVdvUOlOw/mqdefault.jpg "Bluegrass Parkway: Elizabethtown to Lexington - Kentucky | Real Roads, Real Drives [Repost]
🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 71 miles east along the Martha Layne Collins Bluegrass Parkway from Elizabethtown to Lexington, Kentucky — through bourbon country, rolling farmland, and horse country.
The drive begins at Interstate 65 in Elizabethtown, where the Bluegrass Parkway branches eastward across central Kentucky. Traveling northeast, the route soon bypasses Bardstown, crossing interchanges with U.S. Highways 31E and 150 — key connections into a region famed for its bourbon distilleries and small-town charm. The parkway here is lightly traveled, winding through a mix of open farmland, gentle hills, and wooded valleys.
Further along, the highway passes near Bloomfield and Chaplin before reaching the outskirts of Lawrenceburg. This stretch of roadway highlights Kentucky’s agricultural heart, with farms, fields, and the occasional ridge adding variety to the drive. East of Lawrenceburg, the scenery shifts again as travelers approach Woodford County, where iconic horse farms and wide pastures define the landscape. The parkway ultimately concludes just west of Lexington at its eastern terminus with U.S. Highway 60, offering connections directly into Kentucky’s second-largest city and the heart of the Bluegrass region.

🚙 Drive Americas Highways for 16 miles west along U.S. Highway 412 from Hayti to Kennett, Missouri.
We start the drive from Hayti to Kennett at the western terminus of Interstate 155 in southeast Hayti. As the highway becomes U.S. Highway 412, we continue northwest, bypassing Hayti and Hayti Heights to the south and southwest, respectively.
At the intersection with MO-84, we turn due west for 14 miles to Kennett. Entering Kennett, we pass the intersection with Missouri Route 25 before making a brief pit stop for fuel before ending the video a block later at the junction with Missouri Route 84 west.
