Looks like we skipped US 6N:

There's no "6S", so US 22 is next.

I think we also skipped US 11W, if I'm reading the rule correctly:

Quote6. Shields with numbers like this: http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg ARE allowed, but if one number is E, and another one is N, then it must continue to N before advancing.

So H.B. introduced a number with E–in this case, 11E–and in his photo, "another one" was–in this case–W. So the game had to continue to W–in this case, 11W–before advancing to US 12. In other words, other suffixes introduced in a photo must get their own entries in sequence before we can move on to the next non-suffixed route number, is that right?

Don't believe it is required to get all the suffixes ('allowed' vs 'must do') but this should take care of all your US 11 needs...

I have my own shot of that delicious Bristol cutout salad.

Not too terribly far away from there, have a wide US 23 from Letcher County, Ky., just north of the Virginia state line.

Only required if one is introduced, I guess. It's really not clear to me. (Not important, either, just a curiosity.)

MA 28 (state route), from alpsroads
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.

*shrugs* Well I guess there's no rule against that though that wasn't what I intended, so...

Crap. Nobody posted a 25E or 25W (I have plenty of both).
