My own photo, finally!

Well I'll post the first three, then I'll wait to post photos 4-6 so as not to be annoying.  Photo 7 will be assumed as Illinois 173, which I'll hold off on posting.

I start with 6 + 7 = 13:

Then 13 + 34 = 47:


IL-034-013ns by Paul Drives, on Flickr

Then 47 + 17 = 64:


IL-047-017 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

(revised the last one because I messed up the sequence)
I'll save the rest for later.

Ah good, people are getting it. I'm not some complete nutter spewing nonsense! 

Another example:

May 25, 2017: Post a picture with two or more route numbers, then another picture that features a route that is the sum of those two (or more) numbers.

IA-7 and IA-110



IA-117

May 26, 2017: A road, body of water, and railroad can be seen in the picture, and they all run parallel. Bonus if there is something else parallel, like a bike trail or a power line.

Only one Challenge per day; this was posted when May 25th was the active Challenge, and another Challenge has since been posted for the 26th:

This is what immediately came to mind...


That's the Thruway beside the Mohawk River passing between The Noses; the NYCRR (Penn Central at the time) passes below Big Nose on the left, sometimes called Anthony's Nose, but which we referred to as Mt. Snuffleupagus.

Somehow you find challenges for which I always seem to have the perfect photo.  Idk if you're reading my mind or what.

This is WI-35 northbound in Crawford County, where it follows the Mississippi River. Click the link below the photo to get a better look.  If I got any good photos along WV-20 by the New River when I was there last fall, those would work nicely here too (stupid rain).
