Not close at all, as i said, the twofers will be from different regions. Remember, a truck can cover nearly 650 mi in a day if you get a good pace down.

Sorry, didn't see that before I posted, as our posts are 2 minutes apart  :-D

Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

That one looks an awful lot like I-64 in northeastern Kentucky.

Thanks for the tip.  Does this look familiar:

Roadrunner, I have to say I am amazed with your ability to find all these sections of road so easily, even with tips, lol. Well done, my friend. I knew the I-24 one right off the bat just because it's right near where I live and its a very significant stretch of interstate.  :-D

Thanks.  I must admit the mile marker in the I-80 photo helped a bit.

Well you knew the terrain in that one. More photos to come as soon as i get spaced out in terms of where i am at, since if i take too many from one area it gets too easy to guess where i am at.

Time for a new round of photos.

Odd Question, is there a noticable quality difference between the old photos (the prior to KY ones) and the current ones? i switched to a sony phone from my nokia.







This third one is just a nice photo since it is horribly obvious where it is, i like the clouds in it too.

Oh and no complaints about dirty windshields, hard to keep it clean with bugs hitting it, downside of running early morning/early evening and the overnight...bugs

That looks like I-65 southbound crossing the Tennessee River if I'm not mistaken.

Delaware Memorial Bridge:sombrero:  I guess more signs and stuff have been added, because there's a decent amount of differences between your pic and the GMSV.

They also seem to be doing some repainting, at least along the sidewalks. you get no prize since no guessing was required.

It's the only photo in here I could identify.  :ded: Had to do it, even if it was super obvious like that.

Is that I-64 near Huntington, WV?

There isn't really a huge difference, but the newer photos look a little clearer I think.

There are a couple of bridges along that stretch of I-64 in West Virginia that are very high and I always was amazed by them.

In the summer, use the green washer fluid Walmart sells...the Windex bug cleaner...works well.

Also clean off your wiper blades every so often... I just did mine and there was so much shit caked on them, it's a small wonder I could even see when using them.  It's like I have new wiper blades again.
I hate Clearview, because it looks like a cheap Chinese ripoff.

Yep.  Cleaning the wiper blades, even for car drivers, is a substantial benefit.  RainX type stuff also seems to help in the rain.

Still working on this one, but it's definitely a challenge.  I want to say VA or NC.

I want to say somewhere in the Midwest. Top guesses would be KY, IN, OH, IL, or MO.
