I-894 clinched (#6)!
P6140186
P6140187
Miller Park, home of the Brewers
P6140189
Re-approaching the Marquette Interchange from the west, we turn north onto I-43 this time.
P6140192
P6140193
East end of US 18
P6140197
Rare state-name shield on a side street
P6140201
A diagrammatical sign for a cloverleaf seems overkill.
P6140203
Uh oh...where did those clouds come from? The sky grew darker as we went west on WI 100 and then south on US 45.
P6140204
We (mostly) missed the rain hightailing it south on US 45, then back to the Culver's at the WI 165 interchange.
P6140209
P6140212
The little chunk I added of US 20 on this trip gave me 50% of the route in Illinois.
P6140214
While this was the end of the day for many, I closed out the night at Navy Pier.
P6150218
Wait a second, we're ON 34!
P6150219 P6150221
US 52 meets Old US 51 here. Lowest gas in Illinois on the trip.
P6150222
Interesting single-panel sign here with numerals that look a little different than standard.
P6150227
End of IL 92, a four-state route that goes through Iowa and ends in eastern Wyoming.
P6150234
Compare the 34 numerals and shield to the 52/251 picture.
P6150239
At this spot, just outside Princeton, on two routes that go through Iowa...
P6150243
...my 2001 Taurus racked up its 100,000th mile.
P6150244
I would clinch US 34 in Illinois on this trip.
P6150247
Clouds approach again. There was a little confusion as to whether the US 34 bridge into Iowa was open - it was at the time, but would be closed less than 24 hours later.
P6150254
Finishing up the tour by going north on the Ottumwa bypass for the first time.
