Which one of these sentences can change into an interrupting appositive phrase?

I start to crave a break. My legs are progressively giving out, and it has been a long day; fortunately, I notice a clearing with black pavement up ahead. The highway we drove on to come to the campsite I realize. My cousin turns to look at me, and I look at her. We both laugh a relieved laugh, and we take the shoulder of the highway, pushing off on our bikes to ride back to camp.

The sentence that could change into an interrupting appositive phrase is: "The highway we drove on to come to the campsite I realize."

You could rephrase it as: "The highway, which we drove on to come to the campsite, I realize."

However, this sentence feels incomplete as written because it lacks a main verb and structure that is typically found in a complete sentence. If you're looking for a clearer rephrasing, you might consider: "The highway, the one we drove on to come to the campsite, is what I realize." This format clearly uses the appositive "the one we drove on to come to the campsite" to provide additional information about "the highway."
