June 24, 2014: Entering Missouri on the new I-70 Mississippi River bridge.
My summer Missouri vacation re-clinched I-70 between Denver and central Maryland (3 miles of new road) and clinched the entirety of I-44. Kansas City is used as the pull-through for I-70 starting at the new I-55/64/70 split in East St. Louis. Note the absence of flying cars (per yesterday).
Photo counting beyond this point creates a potential dilemma: I took around 500 photos in the aftermath of the tornado that struck at home. The overall number contains all photos, highway-related or not, so I suppose they should be incorporated. Even without those photos, the rest of the Missouri trip plus subsequent trips have already pushed my total past 27,000.
