June 29, 2003: North end of IA 45, two days before its demise along with dozens of other short state routes in the Second Great Decommissioning.

August 1, 2002: Providence, Rhode Island, and the state capitol. My first, last, and only time in the state. (See the 2:23 mark of this video, “Welcome to Rhode Island! Thanks for visiting Rhode Island!”) This is one of the … Continue reading →

May 13, 2010: Beloit, Wisconsin, at the south end of I-43, less than a mile from the Illinois state line. Straight ahead is a cloverleaf and the beginning of I-43. This is all one big sign panel.

July 1, 2007: North end of US 42 in downtown Cleveland. Also the former north end of US 21 and, thus, former location of the US 20/21 junction.

August 8, 2010: This half-mile route running north from US 62 was my connecting route to touch Barry County, Missouri. I crossed the state line, turned around, and went to Pea Ridge National Military Park.
