We need more variety than ⅘ of the answers being US routes.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Does it count if I use a duplicated route within a state to "connect" two cities?
Mileage-based exit numbering implies the existence of mileage-cringe exit numbering.

Side question: We started with a multi-state route, but would it be fair game to have a state route that changes numbers at state lines (For example, Indiana SR-39 and M-239 in Michigan)?

Agreed.  So here's a bit of a "monkey wrench":  West Lafayette, IN to Centerville, IA.

IN 26-IL 9-IA 2* (same route, changes numbers at state lines. I guess that answers my previous question.), although I'm not sure INDOT recognizes IN 26 all the way to the West Lafayette limits anymore, and IA 2 no longer goes into Fort Madison towards the Mississippi River. These changes are both new within the past couple years.

Next: Centerville, IA to Mountain Home, AR
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

MSR (IA, MO, AR) 5.  Now that we're in Mountain Home, I think we've screwed around with US 62 too much; so here's an alternative:  Mountain Home, AR to Woodward, OK.  (pick your poison!)

P.S.  Now, why did IA DOT have to go and mess up a perfectly good multi-designation MSR? :confused:

I think he meant Nebraska (NE), though now I can't answer the challenge since I checked it on a map.
