May 19, 2004: Old county road sign near Gordonsville, Minnesota. (Same trip as 105.) The road runs one mile from US 65 at the Iowa border north to County Road 1.

May 19, 2004: BGS for I-35’s northernmost exit in Iowa. Former IA 105 was never assimilated into the county road system after its decommissioning. Today, the exit is the site of the Top of Iowa Welcome Center and a casino, … Continue reading →

August 2002: US 104 lives, 30 (now 40) years after decommissioning. This is at the east end of the route, and northeast end of US 62, in Niagara Falls NY.

May 12, 2008: Former IA 99 was signed as County Road 99 through the rest of the 2000s but in the past few years changed to X99 to match style. I don’t even know where the county would have acquired … Continue reading →

June 1, 2009: US 98/301 junction in Dade City, Florida. Despite having an even number, US 98 is signed north-south at least in the central part of the state. It’s east-west in the Panhandle but then turns diagonally though most … Continue reading →

August 2001: California has its own style of mile markers, with county identifiers. This is US 97 at the Oregon border. I have traveled the entire length of US 97 in California.
