Haha, yup, that's it, I'm out of E's. I went on a short road trip yesterday and got a few photos, those two included. Oh well :)

Yadkinville photo removed at Oscar's request. Carry on.

Surely there are enough "East (town name)" places out there to provide fodder for game entries.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I offer for consideration an idea that would let this game keep going, and open it up to places that begin with letters that rarely if ever end a place name.  In addition to continuing the chain by letter, we could continue the chain by using an adjacent location.  By this, I mean you can use another place name that shares a common boundary with the place name just played.
Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

Sticking with the Ss for a bit (no help, no harm, but it does reduce my inventory).

I played Kihei earlier, but with a different photo.

I also have a photo of another sign, with the two W___us shown here, to put U back into play if the opportunity comes up.

Reusing this image, this time for Inuvik → Knoxville (IA)

Non-tabbed gore signs in Iowa?  Wow.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what does that mean? Something strange about the Exit 111A BGS?

OracleUsr

Every other gore sign I've seen in Iowa has the exit number like this:

111A
EXIT
   

Rather than this:

EXIT
