The south end of 68 is almost exactly 3 miles southwest of the confluence of 42 degrees north, 93 degrees west, near the confluence(!) of sections 25, 26, 35, and 36 of Wayne Township (T72N-R19W).
If you turn around, a shamrock is painted on the road right at the beginning of 68. The highway itself is Shamrock Street.
