June 13, 2008: On the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago, with the Sears Tower at left, during the 2008 roadgeek meet. I have been on the entire route of I-55 from Chicago to Memphis, although I wasn’t on the mainline … Continue reading →

October 7, 2008: End of freeway segment in Butler County, Kansas, east of Wichita. My best guess for the empty space beside the US 400 shield is the previous state route number. US 400 is a Frankenstein’s monster of a … Continue reading →

September 7, 2006: South end of US 53 in La Crosse. Preliminary plans had US 53 coming into Iowa, along what is now US 52 from the Minnesota border to Dubuque. But by the time the system was established, that … Continue reading →

May 11, 2007: Near my northwesternmost point on US 52, northwest of Minot. It’s 83 miles to the Canada border from here on 52. I kept going northwest just enough to get Renville County, about 67 miles away from the … Continue reading →

June 13, 2011: One of the many I-39/US 51 sign sets in Illinois. Personally, I think US 51 should be returned to the old alignment on IL 251, now that the interstate is complete.

June 28, 2009: On Constitution Avenue between the Washington Monument and the White House. Possibly the closest US shield (or equivalent) to both. Notice that although it’s a new, one-panel sign (that used to show an arrow underneath), it retains … Continue reading →

April 15, 2009: North end of IA 48. Mid-April is about the start of the “driving season” when it comes to picture-taking.

May 12, 2010: Shawano, Wisconsin, along the WI 29 expressway between Wausau and Green Bay. The unbalanced line at the bottom shows that this sign had the word “EXIT” there before the exits were numbered.

June 26, 2006: Pickstown, South Dakota. West end of SD 46, the road that IA 10 becomes as it crosses the state line. Hometown of Tom Brokaw and location of the Fort Randall Dam.
