We went on a family trip in 1977 where I remember seeing a barn with the 1970s RC Cola logo painted on it. (This was in the "Me and my RC" era.) It was way up on a hill on the right side of the highway. I think we were heading south. I'm thinking this may have been on I-75 in southeastern Kentucky - maybe even Tennessee. But I don't remember ever seeing it again.

We actually went into Canada on a family trip in 1980. I remember a splash park for children that was in Ontario, somewhere between Niagara Falls and Toronto. I think World magazine had an article about this splash park, but nobody else remembers it.

I remember on I-75 in Cincinnati, there was this building in Cincinnati with a huge Pepsi advertisement on it. Just a few years ago, I read that the lights on this sign in Cincinnati were so bright that the neighbors complained about being kept awake by it. The sign was on the left side on I-75 in Cincinnati as you were going north.

I know this sign was somewhere around the Camp Washington neighborhood in Cincinnati. But I've never been to pinpoint exactly where in Cincinnati, and the building may be gone now.

Many local businesses have Coke or Pepsi right next to their logo (I'm guessing they get a discount if they do); it might have been one of those.
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.

I remember a town where we stayed on top of a hill at a Holiday Inn. At the bottom of the hill was a major highway that crossed at grade. Beyond the highway was a bridge across the Mississippi and the highway heading to the right became a limited access highway upon moving away from the river.

I asked my mom later what town was that and she said Dubuque, IA. However street view shows nothing that I remember.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

We went to Myrtle Beach in 1982, and I remember going to some amusement park there. But I've never been able to find where this amusement park was.
