"Rolling down Highway 41" - U.S Highway 41 starts on Lake Superior in Upper Penninsula Michigan State, then heads south through Wisconsin, passing through the city of Green Bay. It continues south to Chicago's lakefront area as "Lake Shore Drive", running along the shores of Lake Michigan. From there it continues south through western Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee (where is passes through the cities of Nashville and Chattanooga), paralleling Interstate-75 south through the state of Georgia and intersecting the state capitol of Atlanta. It continues south through the city of Macon, continuing to follow I-75 closely into Florida where it passes the southwestern edge of the Osceola National Forest and Okefenokee Swamp. About a third of the way into Florida, it drifts west toward the Gulf of Mexico and runs through the cities of Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Meyers, and Naples. At Naples it turns southeast into the vast Everglades wilderness where it's known as "The Tamiami Trail" (Tampa to Miami Trail), then runs nearly due east through the Big Cypress National Preserve and north of Everglades National Park. It continues east through the south end of Miami, and finally terminates on the southern end of Miami Beach at the Atlantic Ocean.
