Part 1: From Tallahassee to the Alabama/Florida State Line
(I posted some of these already; I'm kind of backed up on photos/work.)


Did you see the faded (formerly yellow) US 231 shields in Alford? FWIW, There are a few more reverse black/white US 98 shields that you passed by between Apalachicola and Port St. Joe.


formulanone

Missed any the yellow shields :( , but saw a couple of US 98 black shields along the way. That was the only up-close one. I was technically on my way to work...

Still catching up with January's photos...here's the first leg of my journey from Pittsburgh, going into WV and OH for a few moments, then back across US 22 and I-376 to the Turnpike:

Excellent photos!  The West Virginia sign, in particular, is just perfect button copy. :clap:

Thanks! I think it was one of those days where the lighting was nearly perfect (neither too bright nor too dim).

Here's Interstate 99; I picked up the little section (on a lunch break) south of US 220 Business.

Great photos from I-99! They capture the area quite nicely :D :nod:

It seemed to have been "officially named" after his death. Anything else would have been worthy of one of my rare bouts of WTF-ism! But when I passed the sign (there's two), I just chuckled.

But he's still alive, isn't he?

Some Maine state road signs with the LeHay font. Visited the Bangor area and then the Portland-Augusta areas the following week. Scooped up the 15 remaining counties, too.

No signage, but I found some old (November 2009) photos I'd forgotten about...at the old Bicentennial Park Circuit in Miami. Some of the "roads" are impassible now due to construction, but it gave me a little nostalgia boost from all the races I'd visited down there from 1987 to 1992.

Bring or make your own race-car noises, I won't tell anyone.

Traipsing around Birmingham and Interstate 22, recently. Thanks to Alps for suggesting these photos!

nice photos, thanks for the update!

I do appreciate it when all your pictures taken from a moving car have been post processed to correct the rotation and aqua colored tint from the windshield.

Or sometimes, I used the wrong white balance: Many of the I-22 photos were into the blinding sun, and I'd had it on "shade" with too much overexposure. So the skies are all wrong-ish and minty green.

Dusting off this thread...these are just Flickr updates.

New photos from last week's adventures from Allentown to Harrisburg, then onto Breezewood and back.

A couple of old photos from November 2003: getting lost throughout Golden Gate Estates (now the Picayune Strand State Forest). Much of this land was turned over or donated the state as a preserve around 2008-2010, so some of these roads have been destroyed.

The roads had no street blades...the names of the street were painted onto the center of the intersections:


Janes Memorial Scenic Drive though the Fakahatchee State Preserve took you to that complex of roads:


It was dry for most of the month and not so bad, but I've heard it's in terrible shape for a car after it rains; during the summer, you'd better have some ground clearance.

Great photos....do you crop your pics that are on here? Or add filters?
I only take pics of good looking signs. Long live non-reflective button copy!
