April 12, 2009: A sequential intersection in Missouri, MO 5 and MO 6 at Milan. At the time, Sullivan County was the nearest one to Iowa I had not visited.
About a year ago, I announced my intent to extend my coverage of Iowa highway endpoints to those of post-1980 routes that existed after 1969. I pulled out some photos I took on trips but may not have thought, at the time, that they would be relevant to the end pages.
Well, I found another cache of useful pictures — mostly from a daylong spin with the main objective of getting to Sullivan County, Missouri. They’d just been sitting, never added. The person responsible for this oversight has been sacked.
So! Despite having only one true trip under my belt between the end of my “One year, 29 states” adventures and mid-June, I have added photos to multiple pages:
- IA 125, with clarification of its end in Salem and a temporary end at the city limits that may or may not have been signed but was the legal terminus for a few months
- IA 202, photos at its south end in Missouri
- IA 206, photos at US 65
- IA 220, not from the 2009 trip but an even shorter spurt in spring 2015 before I clinched every mile of every highway in Iowa
- IA 266, with a photo of downtown Weldon that could be passed off for a pre-1980 end point
- Business US 34 in Fairfield, from 2013, of the east end as seen from eastbound 34
- And some textual fixes to IA 77 and 156, but no new photos at this time.
