FLORIDA TRIP
Interstate 75 Florida

Interstate 75 is a major interstate through the states of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan. The highway serves the cities of Miami (indirectly), Tampa (also indirectly), Macon, Atlanta, Knoxville, Lexington, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Detroit, and Flint. On Day Four of the Florida Trip, I drove Interstate 75 from Interstate 10 to Interstate 4, and on Day Five, I drove Interstate 75 from Interstate 4 to Florida 826, where the highway ends in the Miami suburb of Hialeah.
