Can I drive there?

Right now I’m camped in a place that looks like the middle of nowhere. Yet there’s a paved road about three-quarters of a mile away, and that road leads to a freeway a little over five miles away, which can take me to a good sized city about fifteen miles away. Rather than the middle of nowhere, I’m on the edge of somewhere.

But if I—or you—really wanted to get away from civilization and the roads that lead there, where should we look? And how far could we actually get from pavement? Well, someone figured it out.
